Hiya girls,

Thank you so much for all your messages and concern. Sorry I haven't posted my news, but I'm absolutley gutted. Had second scan on Tuesday and the sac hasn't grown much since last week, so they've told me that that's it.

Don't really know what to say or do now. I've got to wait ...

Hiya ladies,

Latest news is one definate sac with 'blob' inside and get another scan on Tuesday and hopefully they'll see a heartbeat. Still don't know why or how this is happening, but I did find out that hcg levels that increase, but don't double is common when you have a 'vanishing twin'. They ...

Hiya girls,

Done some more research and apparentley hcg levels can increase but not double if you have a 'vanishing twin' (when one embie disappears). It takes a few days for hcg levels to steady and rise properly. Still none the wiser as to why sac small for dates. Can't really find anything much ...

Hiya Jen,

Yes that's about right and no-one knows what happened. My hcg levels aren't doubling, but they think that was because of the other embie coming away/disappearing. They are increasing though and they just don't know but hope they will double from here. Got other scan on Tuesday to ...

Gel,

Everything is crossed for tomorrow and I'll be thinking of you. Three embies is great, that's 3 potential babies.

Take care and think positive.

Rachel,

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this. I don't know what's going on and I don't really care as long as embie stays put. Just another puzzle in this great big bag of surprises called IVF. The thing that really pisses me off is that the doctor at the clinic wanted me to have a D&C last ...

Hi Jen,

Posted on the IVF topic/board, the one under the General Forum. You're pretty clued up on all this IVF stuff. Please have a read and let me know if you've come across this.

Thank you.

Hi ladies,

Have posted all my latest news on IVF thread, so I won't bore you again, but will just quickly say that only one embie now and it's hanging in there. Do you know, this IVF lark is f@#*ing messing with my head, BIG TIME. Sorry to swear, but it just goes on and on and on.

Anna, don't you ...

Gel,

I've just been reading your story and I just want to say hang in there. You've got this far which is fantastic, and don't let the clinic get you down. You got 18 eggs which is great and they can't tell by looking at them whether they'll fertilise or not, so don't take it for granted that they ...

Hiya ladies,

Just posting back to say that I got another scan yesterday and the radiographer saw one definate sac with 'blob' inside it. The other sac that was quite clearly seen on Friday has disappeared, unfortunatley. Anyway, according to my scan yesterday, the sac size is of a 5 week pregnancy ...

Ally,

I know how disappointed you're feeling right now as I was also a poor responder to my stimulating drugs. I was on Puregon. They doubled my dose for an extra 10 days and my follicles did grow, but they only managed to retreive 4 eggs in the end. I was told that with my FSH count they thought I ...

Thank you ladies for all your kind replies. I've done some reading and apparently hcg levels vary greatly from person to person. I also found a couple of stories of ladies who went through IVF and didn't see anything at first scan, but still went on to have viable pregnancies. I guess you just can't ...

Hi ladies,

I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has had something similar. Went for my 7 week scan on Thursday, but hospital didn't see what they expected. Thought I was having another ectopic and sent me to my local hospital to get laparoscopy. Got a more thorough scan at my own hospital ...

Hiya ladies,

So very happy to see that everyone is getting good news at scans. Hope it continues. I've got first scan on Thursday and am a nervous wreck. This is worse than 2ww. Anyway, fingers crossed for everyone and thinking of you all. Speak to you all on Thursday.

Take care and sending lots ...

Rachel,

Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way.

Take care.
