i know this post is getting old, but thought i'd post my results.

i just had my third and final us today (8w6d) and, unfortunately, the baby hasn't grown any appreciable amount from last week and there is still no heartbeat detected. so, i'll be discussing next steps (d&c or natural miscarriage ...

so sorry natasha. i know exactly how you feel. i'm brokenhearted, too.

it is weird sometimes how things happen like that chance aquaintance with that lady. i have a not so happy irony. i'm doing my follow up us on monday 3/2. that is the day we lost my dad. so, i'll probably get the bad news on ...

well, for me it looks like i'm at the end. as i said, they saw the fetal pole, but the radiologist stated in the report that there was no fetal heart activity and that my CRL was measuring at 6 weeks and i was 7 weeks 5 days. but, in another section of the report they wrote fetal heart rate of 96 ...

natasha,

i'm going through the same thing, but my case may even be worse. i went for my 1st us on tuesday at 6w5d. they only saw a gestational sac and a potential yolk sac (i think that is what they said) and no heartbeat. they said the sac measured 13.8mm and put me at 5w4d. i have to go for a ...

Hi everyone,

Have been reading this post today as I am considering CGH for my next and final cycle. I am waiting to miscarry as I had my US at 6w5d and they saw a gest. sac only, and maybe a fetal pole. I have to go for a repeat US in a week, but this doesn't look good. I had done ZIFT with 2 one ...

I thought I would share a website I found a few weeks ago. It is creatingafamily.com. The founder, Dawn Davenport, posts all kinds of information on infertility and adoption. She also hosts a radio show where people can call in and have their questions answered. This week's radio show is about ...

Donna - great news!!! I was reading through your post and was going to say...maybe since you transferred 3, there was one that implanted that didn't make it, but the others did...sometimes this messes with the HCG numbers....but then I saw your last post! You are on your way...CONGRATULATIONS!!!
