just bumping us back up to the top...

How is everyone? Mia, how are you doing?

For me, each day is getting better. I try to keep busy, that helps some. I go for another hcg test this Thurs.

Question: do any of you know if an antidepressant like Effexor will hurt sperm quality?

Hi ladies,

m so sorry your suffering at this time, i hope the feelings pass soon, i know they say time is a great healer, i can only imagine what you are going through right now. My clinic make us wait 2 af's after a chemical pregnancy, and 3af's after both a fresh cycle or a m/c, to give body time to heal although personally i hate waiting and would feel better jumping straight back in.

Vicky, hope you have a great cruise and are ready to go when you get back.

Mia, cant remember if i said congratultions on your twins. i would love twins, all done in one go.

Skidoo your numbers sound great, keep up the good work.

Sozhan, glad everthing is going well for you, i'm doing ok, DH is more stressed than me as i have a really bad cough and he thinks i'll be damaging the muscles and the embies won't be able to snuggle in. i test in 7 days and i'm at awedding saturday so that will take my mind off it.

off to bed now, hope everone i've missed are well, will post again later,
take care.
Jayne

Jovi - glad to hear from you. Thanks for checking in with us to let us know how things are going. As to your effexor question, I really have no idea, but perhaps your RE could tell you? You might ask a pharmacist, too, as they might know.

Beachbaby - 7 days (well, now 6, right?) is almost here! I'm sure you're not 'coughing' those babes out, they're snuggling right in! How are you feeling (other than the cough?) I'm keeping you and your little ones in my thoughts and hoping this is your golden cycle! Good luck!

Hi to everyone else, hope all is well....

hi suzhan, thanks i am doing ok lot calmer than last time. I have mild cramps most of the day but no sore bb's except where i keep seeing if there sore,i hope this time is it, my life is on hold and concentrati0n is impossible, luckily i work for myself so no boss screaming at me, although i feel i am letting my business down. we are at a wedding this weekend so that will take our mind off it.
only 4 more days, i will let you know ASAP.

well ladies the results are in, i have a positive but extremely low again 13.2 this time, i re-test on Wednesday, don't hold out much hope though.
Read later.

Beachbaby, hang in there!!, will keep my fingers crossed for you until Wednesday!!!!...keep us posted!

[suzhan]

Oh, beachbaby, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you until Wednesday - I have heard that FETs can be a little late in implanting, so maybe there is some hope!

[Jovigal]

beachbaby, sounds good to me. I'll be praying for ya!

hi ladies, Sorry I've not posted in awhile. Hope you all are doing well. Things seem to be moving along as normal with me. I'm been experiencing MS (all day long!) for about a week now. It's a killer. Been using ginger as recomended, but things are still pretty intense. I get sooooooo hungry, but I'm nauseus at the same time. Makes it hard to eat. I have to force myself to eat, but eating small meals and snacking throughout the day is easier. I have my 2nd US on thurs to check for HBs. I can't wait!

beachbaby, I've got everything crossed for you. I really really hope your #s rapidly improve. There is still hope! PMA girl!

Jovigal, I've been thinking of you. Hope things are getting better. I read your post somewhere that at least you have a reason. Does it help some? I hope so. Take care hun.

[beachbaby]

Hi ladies, well mixed news, my numbers went down .7 so now 12.5, not significant enough to stop, so i cary on with the pessaries and eostrogen and i retest Monday. don't know what to think, what are my chances of anything continueing. Feeling pretty fed up at the mo but will carry on and pray for good results on monday.

Vicky, how are you doing did AF arrive? are you ready to start your FET, hope you enjoyed your cruise.
J

[vicky77]

Beachbaby, I have been thinking about you since the morning, wondering what your numbers were. I will be thinking about you on Monday again, hoping that those numbers finally jump!!. Maybe you have 2 and one is starting to rise now??????, who knows!!, there is always hope!!!
Yes AF arrived..........but the first day of the cruise!!!!!!, can you believe that cow!!!, so my FET will have to be delayed to April, but that's ok, I was kind of prepared for it anyway........
The cruise was amazing, I really needed some vacations, now I am waiting for my next vacations!!!!

[beachbaby]

Hi Vicky, what a cow, spoiling your vacation like that, gglad you had a good time, we will go away if this turns out to be another chemmical. I will do another FET april as well with my last 4 frosties, i will be having ssome more tests to check i am not rejecting the embies first as they are concerned i keep getting chemical pregnancies. these are worse than negatives as the bad news and uncertanty just drags on.
Anyway got to go to work.
Take care

Hi ladies, well its all over for me again, Beta down below 2. I am now waiting to go to recurring miscarraige clinic, in the same unit for more tests, due to having 2 Bio-chemicals on the trot. I will be testing chromosones soon, as they take 8-10 weeks for the results to come back, and testing my antibodies (i think) but this cannot be done for 8 weeks after the miscarraige, still a bit vague as i am waiting for the head nurse of that unit to contact me to explain the next steps.
Whatever happens i will not be cycling again until at least May.
Feeling pretty fragile at the Mo, will catch up soon with you all.
Take care.
Jayne

So sorry, Jayne. Hoping that the months go quickly---it will be May before you know it!
