Hi everyone, I'm writing this through my tears. I'll be signing off from this forum. Went for our u/s this a.m. and the baby hadn't grown and there was no heartbeat. They called it a "missed abortion". I'm going for a d & c tomorrow. We had somewhat prepared ourselves for this after our last u/s ...

Hi Kiz,

Yeah, I keep checking the board but have nothing to tell. I'm anxiously waiting for my u/s on Oct 4th to see if the baby is developing normally and has "caught up". I still feel very pregnant and have had no neg signs. It is very nerve wracking. It's like I'm not allowing myself to be ...

Congrats to all of us with May 2011 babies! We are 7 weeks pregnant from our first IVF. We have unexplained secondary infertility and have a son 5 1/2 yrs old conceived naturally. I am 39 and wanted to try IVF just so we could say that we did everything to give our son a sibling. We can't believe ...

Hi all, I had an u/s today and the baby measured 6weeks 2 days and there was a heartbeat. I am actually 7 weeks exactly today. Is this common? The doctor said that the machines can have an error margin of a few days. He said it's "going in the right direction" but offered to see us again in 2.5 ...

Hi Amanda,

Thx for posting. I was hoping that you were alright. My OHSS is much much better. I had a 2nd draining, but have felt better ever since. (this was 3 weeks post egg retrieval) I still have about 7lbs of fluid but it's more comfortable and my system is tolerating it more. At least I can ...

Hi Amanda,

My hyperstimulation started after retrieval, but on transfer day, they told me that this was "normal" and 2 days later I was fine. It re-started about 1 week after the transfer and I was told that it was a sign that the embryo(s) had probably "stuck" and that pregnancy hormones had ...

Thanks for the tips. I took the week off work. I've regained the fluid that they drained last Thurs. Although I have a little less pain and nausea. I really hope to avoid another drainage. I just want this to resolve itself. Congrats on your pregnancy. thanks everyone. It helps to connect with ...

Thanks Margi,

It really is scary. I can't believe all that happened to you! It feels good to connect with someone who understands... We have decided not to tell anyone about going thru IVF so I feel really alone going through all this. I have this big secret and am having trouble hiding it ...

Thanks for the support and info. Good luck on your IVF. I'm 39 too and "normal". My DH (41) and I have unexplained secondary infertility. Our son was born in 2005 and we have been unable to conceive since then. We did IVF so that we could say that we tried "everything" to give him a sibling. I can't ...

Hi all, Just found out Wednesday that our first IVF was successful. Yippee! Problem is that I have Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome and it is in full force. I had 2.5 litres of fluid drained on Thurs and it's coming back. I feel so uncomfortable that's it's hard to be happy and think about the ...

Hi, I had the same thing happen at 8 weeks and passed a large clot (I thought it was the baby and was devastated). THe dr told me that I had a 50-50 chance of miscarriage and after that one show of blood, I was fine and delivered a healthy baby boy. After experiencing secondary infertility, we have ...

Hi, We had our embryo (2) transfer on 8-14. Will get results on Aug 25th. It's constantly on my mind. I just want to know so I can either be happy or try to move on. We have secondary unexplained infertility. Our son is 5 and we desperately want to give him a sibling so this is our best shot. We've ...

Hi, This is my first time in a forum. I had my embryo (2) transfer on 8/14 and will find out if successful on 8/25. This is our first IVF attempt. Your story is so similar to mine. We conceived our son naturally (he is 5 now). Our infertility is undiagnosed. I just turned 39 and had we felt like we ...
