JDC~Did you see the post by silverangel679 that talks about seeing the sacs but no hb and no fetal poles. They saw it after 7 weeks. It's on the pregnant after treatment as well, a little further down from your thread.
Hang in there....I pray it will all turn out ok. As hard as it is for you right now, keep the PMA going for your baby's sake. He needs to feel calm, good vibes.

Big hugs and love

Thanks Val - ya apparently like 25% of people are normal "bleeders" lucky me :-) but i am feeling fairly good after talking to the dr and seeing the us. Plus my nausea is like 24-7! I will probably freak out the day that goes away too :-) How are you? where are you in your cycle?

Kimmy: Glad you are feeling better today. Sounds like maybe you just needed to slow down and rest more.

JDC: I know exactly how you are feeling and hope it turns out better for you than it did me. I was actually at 6wks6dys so they really didn't have much hope for me. You aren't as far along, so try to stay positive and I'll be thinking of you.

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend.

Hi Val:
It is so nice of you to check in on us. Woo Hoo looks, like you just transferred 3 blasts. Congrats!! PUPO!


JDC: Please remind me when you go back for your next u/s..I am hoping you little one was just a late implanter, and will show this week. I have read several stories like that. Hugs, I know the wait is unbearable.

Hi guys - thanks for all your support. Unfortunately I woke up this morning with a complete absence of all pregnancy symptoms. Usually my boobies are throbbing, and now nothing - they are squeezable and everything! Well, I'm kind of making light of this only because that is how I'm coping right now. Once again, I don't think this is our time.

Hopeful - I was wondering if your pregnancy was called a blighted ovum? I'm thinking that is what mine is. I was reading that the chances of that happening again are so slim.

Well, I'm wishing you all the best and I will be checking in. Of course I will let you know how my u/s goes on Thursday.

JDC: I believe a blighted ovum is when there isn't really a baby growing in there. You have a fetal pole they can see, they just weren't able to see the hb yet. Don't give up hope, you went in 3 days before me, a lot can happen in 3 days, as I was told.

jdc don't count yourself and your baby out yet. My symptoms drastically dropped off and I was worried, then the next couple days I saw 3 sacs, then later, 3 heartbeats.

Keep thinking those pregnancy thoughts.

Just to clarify - they did not see a fetal pole either. And my u/s is on Thursday. At that point I will be 6 wks 6days.

Hi gals,
Haven't been log in for quite some time, just not in the mood to do anything especially with my nausea and gastric. Can't really sleep well at nite and in the middle of the nite I will feel gastric pain and cramps. Really make me very worried and I have been angry all the time. Sigh....things its the change of my hormone and all the medications that make me mood swings.
Just to update, I had scan at 6wks5days. My DH told me his heart nearly dropped when he saw an empty sac, but then when the doctor move to certain angle, there he saw a fetal pole and HB. Its very beautiful and I cried. Finally I can have my own baby, really can't believe it. Thank God!!! Doctor told me the baby has a strong heartbeat which is a relief. However I have 2cm cyst in my left ovaries and few small cysts in my right ovaries. I just hope the cysts won't make any negative effect to the baby.
Thank you everyone for being here all the time and being so supporting. Really make my IVF journey bearable.

hommy - wonderful to hear that! I feel so blessed in the same way. Feels unreal, but it's not! We are actually here hun. Sorry you have been feeling that way with the sickness and stuff. It will go away soon. I have been lucky in that category, although I don't want to say it in case my body hears, ahahahaha.

Hello ladies, sorry I haven't been on in a while. The nausea, insomnia and fatigue are kicking my butt. My boobies don't hurt too bad anymore though, which I guess is a good thing. Any one else in the same boat at all? One sympton fading while others are going berzerk?
Just to update, we're 8 weeks along today and had our 3rd U/S this morning and the babies both look great. Their heart beats are doing very well, baby A is 164bpm now and baby B is 173bpm and we're all measuring at 7 weeks 6 days. The doc said that at this point she gives us an 85% chance of making it to the 3rd trimester and she's a self admitted conservitive so we're very happy to hear that.


To all the ladies who're having a problem right now: I think about you guys all the time and I'm wishing everyone great u/s's and luck in the future. This whole thing is such a rollercoaster and it's so not fair sometimes. I must say that you all inspire me so much with your attitudes and your strength through all this. Especially you Hopeful In SD, I thought I'd break after my misarriage but after reading that you pampered yourself and had margaritas before your meds and remembering what I was like just after I found out I'd lost the baby, I cannot tell you how much my hero you are. I don't have a great relationship with God anymore, but I do say a prayer for you at night.

JDC and Kim: Your in my prayers as well and I hope we hear from your both with good news soon.
