Kline- Wowwee! That is amazing...details please! How far along did they say you are? Do they think it was actually a successful ivf and not picked up by early betas, or was it definitely a failed ivf and then natural conception?? That is crazy either way...and I am so happy for you, congratulations!

Hi Ladies! You are all sooo good and cheerful and so mindful, i appreciate the kindness and warmth you all are giving to me.. ianmichael, michelle, sari, caroline (wishful) babyluv and all of my march/april buddies. Big hugs and kisses to all of you. Especially to hazel who introduce me to this thread.
Sorry for late reply, im too scared with this rollercoaster im going through! Yes, Im 5 weeks pregnant now, conceived naturally after failed IVF last April without living/frozen embryo.
I've been to Fertility Unit today for evaluation of my failed IVF. I told doc I've been to GP last Monday for late AF and test showed to be positive, she is equally surprised after all the detailed explanation of failed IVF she recommends another laparoscopy and ligation of left tube.
I saved early morning urine and she did a repeat preg test, double lines showed up, she quickly did a scan but sac wont showed up yet, i have left hydrosalphinx, rt tube removed following ectopic pregnancy. Doc would like to outrule suspected ectopic pregnancy. I had sexual contact with DH this am (silly me) after he pulled out his thing blood showed up. I wore pad all day but no staining. She said I would miscarried if I would. She did hcg level as well if the level is 1000 and above it would definitely be in uterus and if it double up in 2 days time. What's the normal hcg level?I know Michelle you mention a website sometime ago. (funny to see my name on the list BFN... thank you Michelle you never failed on that job)
I feel ambivalent at the moment... can't be too happy for worrying.. if it's not in my uterus.. it would mean another operation.
Yet, we witness another miracle story. I thank God for all the bleesings He is giving me. And I pray all may go well! I really appreciate you all for being around! You help me out... though im shaky and petrified with everything! Goodluck to all your personal endevors. Only God knows everything and He works in mysterious ways!
kline: !!!!!!!!!!!! soooooooo good to hear some details! I am PRAYING HARD! Lifting you up every day, ok? No amount of worry is going to change ANYTHING! (That being said, I still find things to worry about!)
thanks nicole! you are a way far now to your term, 18 weeks.. that's great..
clinic rang me this am, my hcg level is 2,956 in 5 weeks gestation, they rang hospital to prepare for my emergency admission, and notify my GP and sent copy of my report via fax, im too nervous. high risk pregnancy ? ectopic... i dont feel any pain, no bleeding.. but they didnt see the gestational sac in my uterus.
im too tired thinking all day! you are right, no cost to worry.. things will happen.. without my control..
i dont understand hcg level yet. they will do a repeat one tom.. to see if it will double.
I've been to hospital today for repeat hcg level the result is 5,886.. which is good, but doc is not happy.. they still couldnt see the gestational sac at age of 5 weeks and 2 days.. i know it's too early but he is worried it is growing.. growing where? I refuse hospital admission, Im afraid they will slice me on Monday if nothing showed up on scan. Any advice?
Oh my goodness Kline-thats crazy!!!!I would get 2nd opinion somehow someway if possible. I would be nervous about that too cause sometimes the medical team can act so quickly in situations like this. Keep us posted-wishing you the best of luck for a healthy pregnancy!
hi ladies! im home finally, sad to say i had an ectopic pregnancy, i had an emergency laparotomy last monday (as they have to do it straight away without delay- i had no pain but with slight pinkish vaginal discharge), difficult surgery it took 5 hrs due to multiple adhesions, i even had a nipped in my bowel about 1 cm. so my obs gynae doc have to call for surgeon to close the bowel. i had a tough recovery, im fully dosed for 2 days with morphine pump, tachycardic between 145-125 post op and spikes of temperature, my antibiotics do me no good, worst i should say im allergic to penicillen they put me on metronidazole 500mg tds, erythromycin 1g tds, and gentamcyin 240mg od.. when i woke up im too nauseated, vomitting and diarrhea. even regular pain killers made me nauseated (paracetamol and tramadol)... i couldnt eat.
i feel better now at home after 6 days in the hospital, eating small portion, as the meds irritate my gastic lining, i just take gaviscon and zoton for hyperacidity, with small cramps.
i thank God all is over now!
no more tubes.. no more ectopic.. i hope my third tube works next time! i'll keep you all posted!
