Re: Ghost....Help...Question

Ghost, No I didn't have a D&C done it was never even offered. I finally have started my period and now the numbers are dropping again. Big sigh of relief here. Looks like you were right and it was just a small piece of retained placenta. The whole antibody thing was scary and confusing to me. I don ...

Ghost....Help...Question

I am a little concerned about what I now call my pregnancy that never ends. I had a miscarriage that started on 2/14/10. I was 5w5d along. My hcg level was around 4100. It quickly dropped down and 3 weeks ago it was at 41. I went back in today and got redrawn and it hasn't dropped at all?!?! I am ...

Re: Jan/Feb 2010--Cycle Group

I know I vanished for awhile, but with this board coming to an end and so many of you moving on to a Winter 2010 baby board, I thought I would drop in and say hi! Lou, I am so happy for you, and what a perfect ending to this board. You were are first BFN and last BFP! I think for the most part I ...

Re: FET April/May Anyone Else???

I don't have a success story, but think we should keep this thread going. I am also looking at a FET in April/May. I had my first round of IVF in January and got my BFP. I miscarried at 5 weeks and 5 day on Valentines Day. :( Hearing about others success especially after a m/c is very encouraging ...

Re: March/April 2010 Cycle Group

Well, I am back from Vegas. We had a great time. Didn't do a lot of gambeling but still we had fun. I just feel like the wind has been knocked out of my sails. My DH really wants to try for the FET but I have no PMA left. I feel like it will just fail. I feel like I was blessed with my one chance ...

Re: March/April 2010 Cycle Group

Just a quick update on me and I will do personals later. Well, I am still recovering from my traumatic weekend. I still find it hard to believe it's over. So many people at work knew about it and of course I keep having to repeat the dreaded words, "I miscarried." So, DH and I are taking off to ...

Re: March/April 2010 Cycle Group

Hi ladies. I was really hoping not to be joining you all here, but here I am. I did get my BFP on my first round of IVF, but I lost the pregnancy on 2/14/10. I am going to be doing an FET in late April or May. Do you mind if I join you all here even though I don't know for sure if I will go in April ...

Re: Jan/Feb 2010--Cycle Group

Hello ladies. I have missed you all. Of course this board went down in mist of a personal crisis. I lost my little one on 2/14/10. It was my son's birthday and of course Valentines day. It was horrible. I am still very saddened by what has occured and the not knowing why. I think we will try again ...

Well I am being told it's a miscarriage. There is no heartbeat. Honestly, I know it can be a little early for a heartbeat to be found but with the amount of bleeding I have I tend to believe this is it. I have my little frozen embies but not the $1000 for the procedure. We wanted this so much and ...

Well, I decided to go to the ER. I figured they'd do an U/S and beta and on Monday we could compare. It's 11:38pm here and they just finished the U/S. Still bleeding heavily and passing big clots,nut the tech who did the U/S found the sac and fetal pole. They seem to be stable and not moving so far ...

I think it's over before it even really started. The cramps are getting heavier and the bleeding heavier. I am now passing multipule large clots. Sorry TMI, I know. I am just so sad. Mostly for my dh as he has been so wonderful and sweet. I hate this.

Well the office called they still want to see me Monday. For now it's stop the baby aspirin, take an extra progestrone longze, and start Prometrium. Cramping is increasing and now I am on bedrest and increase water intake. Ugh, I hate this!!

:( It's my turn now. Warning TMI... I am 5 weeks 4 days today and over the last two days I'd still been passing the remenants of the Estrace which I no longer use vaginally. It had been tinged with some dark brown old blood. I wasn't to concerned about it, but found it weird that I still had so much ...
