Results are in!!!

[gem]

Hi Everyone
Thankyou again for all your good wishes,but this morning I started getting brown discharge and through the day it as turned to red so when I went for my blood test I knew the results already
I had to phone at 2 for results and by that time the blood was def red we were gutted I had a good cry so when I phoned up at 2 I thought I already knew the results???? but the nurse said that they was some preganacy level there but they like it to be between 50-75 and mine was 25 so it might raise slowly over the next 2 days or it might decrease but because I'd started bleeding it will prob decrease,I was gobsmacked so was dh we never expected that,we have had a talk about it and have decided to take this as a positive sign has I've never got this far before its always been a negative so maybe in March when we try again and I've been doing acupucture and chinese med for longer I started them in Dec maybe my body will be ready to let a embryo stick around?
I have to go back on Mon for another scan and bloods to see what my levels are but I'm def bleeding now and we've done a pg test so we know its over for this try I'm not looking forward to the scan it will be strange but I think they need to do it for there records dh wont be able to come so Im going to ask my mum cos for some reason I dont want to go on my own.
Has anyone had this happened to them and the next try it has worked?
I'd planned to have a good drink this weekend but now It doesnt feel right until the hosp as def said its a negative we know its a negative so it feels a waste of time going for a scan and blood on mon and she said I'd to carry on taking the passaries which I find strange as Iam bleeding but I suppose I will do what they ask until Mon when I will be able to have that drink.do you guys agree?
Hope everyone understands my post as I've rambled on too much
But I had a lot to get of my chest
Thanks for all your support over the last few weeks,this site has been my life line
Love Gemxxxxxxxx

Im sorry it wasnt your turn , but yes it is a very possitive sign that it did try to stick around , I cant advise you on having a drink cause I would tell you to have a large one !!!!! but thats because Im an alcoholic!!!! Perhaps you can be my buddy if I get the go ahead on the 26th Feb.

Take care now

I'm sorry I'm useless at writing what I really want to say but just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and your dh.
Take care and look after each other
much love

Hi Gem

Been checking all afternoon to see how you have got on. Dont know what to say really. Some people do bleed when they are pg, and like you said yourself even if on Mon they say its a -ve then at least you know that they tried to implant, and that is a +ve sign.

Keeping everything crossed for you just incase.
Take Care
Lots of love

I am sorry to hear about today. I think its a good sign that the embie was really trying to hold on and this is a good sign.
I had something similar happen to me but i started to bleed in the second week (my clinic does urine samples not blood tests) I handed my sample in i had prepared myself for it being neg. I phoned them up and they told me it was +ve well i broke down in tears i told them i had been bleeding and they said it was not a good sign. I had to hand in about 4 samples until it came back -ve (it took nearly 2 weeks). I did drink the day before i handed my first sample in (it was my birthday) because i thought it had not worked i am in no way saying that me drinking had any effect on the outcome because it didn't, but i felt really guilty.

I did fall pg after that but it was an eptopic. But it has worked this time i am 12 weeks 5days pg.
I hope i have not went on to much i hate writing stuff incase people feel i have said the wrong thing.

im sorry this isnt your time,i will be thinking of you and dh. this happened to me in nov and although we were devestated that it turned out to be negative,we did find some comfort in the fact that the embies had tried to stick around for a bit but they just didnt hold on,i said it was better than getting a total negative.im due 2nd ec 29th feb,lets hope they stick around this time.
thinking of you take care..loopy

Oh Gem
I have been popping on-line all day looking out for your news. I am so sorry that you have started to bleed, I know what a horrible feeling it is....this whole process can be so unfair, but we will get there in the end. As the others have said it is positive that your embie tried to stay the course...and I'm sure next time, after more acupuncture and chinese herbs, it will be your turn.
I'm send you a huge cyber hug and am thinking of you.
Love, Michelle x

gem, this has to be a reallly positive sign your embryo got to implantation stage. do whatever you feel inside is right for you this weekend. i think you're right to carry on with the pessaries if the clinic has said to. i wish you all the best for monday.

Hi Gem,
Just to say I'm thinking of you.
I'm sorry you are bleeding and have to wait another couple of days for the definate result, things never seem to go easy do they? It's never over until the fat lady sings as they say, but as others have said here, it is a better sign than an outright negative.
Take care of yourself.

Hi Gem
have not spoken to you before but just want you to know I am thinking of you.....
You & dh must be feeling so confused at the moment, not knowing for definite one way or the other

Please dont give up hope and like the others say, things sound +ve for you and if this is not your time I am sure next time will be........

Try & relax and spend some quality time over the weekend with dh......

Only you know, but I would not think 1 glass of wine will hurt, I mean many people who fall pg without ivf drink, smoke & even bungee jump!
But if you are really worried I would have a cup of tea instead or a nice fruit smoothy, that way you wont beat yourself up over it.......
You can make up for it some over time when you feel up to it..... also, I find alcohol can make me more upset when I feel down...
Anyway, take care & stay strong(you sound a very strong,+ve person)

Hey Gem,
This rollercoaster IVF ride really sucks at times doesn't it?
I agree, see this as a positive, those embies are wanting to stick around and next time they will. Keep your chin up love.

Hi Gem,
I just wanted to share my story with you after reading your post. I started bleeding 1 week into my 2WW. It was bright red blood and I bled for 6 days, it was exactly the same as my normal period every month. I was so convinced that the treatment hadn't worked that I stopped using the pessaries and when it came to my test date I didn't even bother testing. I even posted my bad news on here. It was only after 5 or 6 days after my due test date that I started feeling "funny" and my mum convinced me to do a test. I went along with it 100% certain that it would be negative so you can imagine my utter shock and surprise when it was positive! I immediately started worrying as I had stopped the pessaries and been drinking and climbing ladders decorating! and I then faced an agonising 3wk wait over Xmas and New Year waiting for my first scan. Well everything was OK at my 7 wk scan and I am now 11 wks and 2 days Pregnant.

I don't want to raise your hopes up but I guess what I am sayng is that miracles can and do happen. I really hope everything turns out OK for you on Monday.

Lots of love and luck

Hi Gem

I'm sorry to hear your sad news. I guess the hospital want to scan you to make sure that neither of the embies have implanted. Sometimes you can bleed, but that is because you have lost one of the embies and the other is hanging on in there. See what happens Monday, but whatever, you should hold on to some hope that this is the furtherest you have ever got and next time, could be the one.

Best wishes and lots of love

Hi Gem
Just managed to get to a computer so that I could see your result. So sorry it wasn't a full blown positive this time but as you said it's better than it has been. My chinese Doc said it would take about 6 months to work so keep at it and next time it will be the one. I hope you and DH can gain from this and like Traci said I'd probably have a few glasses and look to March.
My thoghts are with you
Love
Aly
