not so good news ... went for 1st u/s today to restart 2nd IVF attempt and my RE says he's not liking the #'s, there's some left over follicles from last time and not a few growing, there's like 4 again and only 1 grows over 18 and the rest are still small, so I will go for follow up u/s again to see if any improvements.. and because each cycle is different then I would have to still be monitored ... Ughhh .. then he talked about other options like a donor for egg ... i don't like that idea!!! i want my own right now.. HOPEFULLY, I will be successful enought to atleast have one bean ...
So all meds stopped for now ... I'm feel a little depressed.
I asked if stress would play a part b/c I feel stressed and yes it is..
HAS ANYONE EVERY GONE THRU A CYCLE OR PHASE FOR BEING A POOR RESPONDER FOR THE MEDS?
Hi All
Since we are becoming a smaller and smaller group on the discussion side of things and some us us are around the 12 week mark now, I thought I would try making a new thread in hopes of bringing some new active members in. If you would like to check it out it is within the Fertility/Infertility/IVF section and it is called "IVF Pregnancies - Due Spring 2012."
I love this board and do not want to exclude anyone here, I just thought I would give this a try since many of us original members have gone down various paths since our transfers and those of us lucky enough to be pregnant could reconnect and meet some new people as well. It was so great when this board was really active. Just a thought... SG
IHeartForABaby - Awww so sorry to hear that Dear; you will be in my prayers... I had 4 failed IUI's and now I am 8 weeks 2 days pregnant and still praying my little baby will catch up cuz dr says baby is a week behind....
lala282 - Thank you soo much... I have my 3rd u/s on Monday cannot wait.... I hope my baby is all caught up...
No Symptoms yet just lots of cramping, I guess cuz of my ovaries still a little large due to me having OHSS...

That is great news.... keep on taking it easy and plenty of rest.
Brilliant :-) Big hugs x
OK - had my u/s post bleed today. Babies OK! Have a hematoma behind the placenta - hopefully will shrink up soon. Also had the NT u/s today - went great - babies so active!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well. SG
Thank you all ladies... =)
SSBD TO ALL....
Thank you Scottishmummy
I'm taking an anti-nauseant but there are no or very few foods I want to eat. I'm hoping being off the drugs will help. I'm tired at times and I have a sore chest. That's about it. Good look with the scan - mine was postponed until Monday. SG
Cleto, Congratz. great news
Storkgirl, bet your glad they are finished. I am 9 weeks & 1 day and I cant wait to stop the injections :-)
How are you both feeling, any sickness or anything else, Im lucky I dont have anything, been to my own Doc and he dont the basic prenatal tests and I have my 12 weeks scan booked :-)
Big hugs to all Xx
Last of the meds today!!! 12 weeks tomorrow!
Thank you soo much... And yes it has been a super long road...
Hugs back to you!!
Yippeeeeeeee!!!!! Congrats!! You are on your way.
Best wishes in the coming months I am sure like all of us it has been a long road but you made it!!
Hugs to you!
Hi Ladies;
Okay I just got back from my u/s and YESSSS there was a HEART BEAT.... It's at 115 and says I am 6 weeks 3 days, but Dr. says I am 7 weeks 2 days... I hope that is good... I have my 3rd u/s on 10/31/2011...
SSBD TO ALL
=D
PS: Amnio fluid has a VERY distinct ammonia smell. I am pretty sure you would have smelled it without trying.
Mine was the same amount! Before you bleed, it is common to have clear fluid or some other discharge to come out first. Your uterus is pushing the blood out, so the other typical pregnancy discharge will come out, too. I don't know if I had the clear fluid before my blood (because I saw the blood first), but I DO HAVE clear fluid come out alone (watery in consistency). There is another woman who had red blood ( and very heavy) when she reached the 12 week mark! Her name is "korrskat." Look at her journals under the title "Had a big scare yesterday. " Everything is fine now and she is 28 weeks. It wasn't a hematoma, but I think after the ultrasound they told her not to worry. Some women just bleed throughout their pregnancy.
Hi Lala - just read your journal - this was so helpful, thank you so much. I'm concerned about the clear fluid, this would be fluid from the placenta I guess?
Thank you SO much Lala. Did you ever have clear fluid as well? That is how mine started. I thought og your hematoma right away last night and tried to find your posts. I'll look for your journal.... How much blood did you have? I had maybe 2+ tablespoons. Thanks again for your posts. I really appreciate it.
Oh, the comments in my journal about bleeding is under "occasional light brown and pink spotting. " That's how the bleeding started and then a week later I got the big gush of red.
Hang in there! I had red bleeding at 7 weeks and it was a hematoma which is quite common, and usually clears on its own by 20 weeks. I hear of a lot of other women who have had the same thing with tons of red blood and clots and their baby/babies were just fine. Hang in there, and just because your doc says wait until Monday doesn't mean you can't go over to the emergency room and check with an ultrasound for peace of mind. If you look at my journal under bleeding, you'll see some comments that will make you feel better.
OK - all was going so well - was coming off the hormones in two days and hitting 12 weeks on Friday. Tonight I have bleeding, red and quite a bit. I paged my doc. He has me on bed rest until Monday when they will do the NT u/s that was supposed to be this Thursday. I had a clear discharge before the blood. Hope the babies are OK........ Going to be a long wait until Monday...
Hi Storkgirl!
I thought I gained about 10 pounds, but if the scale at my hematologist's is right, I only gained 2 in two weeks. The hematologist scale was different from my docs so maybe the 2 pounds weren't accurate. I think from my transfer to the time of my 7th week appointment I already gained about 6 from nervous eating and no exercise, but I am tracking my weight from my first weigh in at 7 weeks. The truth will be told on Wednesday when I get weighed at my docs. I am pretty sure I gained at least 8 in the last 3 weeks. I've been eating so much and have been on bed rest so no exercise. It's so nice to be tracking weight for my baby sake and not for my self! I am definitely showing, but maybe so much in clothes. My belly is round and not my shape and hard. It feels weird when I sit. My next ultrasound is at 11 weeks, next week. Always scary!
