Sam- since the tech saw a sac a fetal pole that's very reassuring. I'm sure everything is fine. I read about many women bleeding during pregnacy.you are in my prayers.

Well I am being told it's a miscarriage. There is no heartbeat. Honestly, I know it can be a little early for a heartbeat to be found but with the amount of bleeding I have I tend to believe this is it. I have my little frozen embies but not the $1000 for the procedure. We wanted this so much and now it's over. I am devastated.

[latrell22]

Sam, I'm am terribly sorry. I am praying for you and DH. I have gone through this and I can totally understand you are devastated. I hope and pray that you and hubby can make it through this and that things work out for you. (((((((((((((((((((BIG HUG)))))))))))))))))

[DandMe]

I'm sorry Sam....

[Skylar]

Katie99 I am so glad you got a BFP, I know you and your dh are very happy. It goes to show, that you should never give up what your hearts desires. I hope everything will be a breeze for you.

Oh my god!!! I have MISSED you ladies and can't wait to hear all the updates!!!

Nothing new with me...going in for sns tomorrow so will update then but I have been thinking of you ladies non-stop and hope you have great news to deliver!!!!

[lou71]

OMG... what's been up with this board being down so long?!?!?

Sam --- I'm so sorry! You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope some day you can use those frosties.

Ashley -- How are you? Are things ok?

Katie -- I've been thinking about you and smile every time I imagine your BFP stick!

AFM -- I started stims Sat 2/13 with 450 units of Follistim. Had my first SnS today. I have 4 follies at 9-10mm and 7 or 8 more in the 4-5 mm range. Does anyone think there's a chance any of those will catch up?? I'm really worried. My E2 was 177 today. I have another SnS tomorrow as RE is thinking I will be starting the Ganirelix antagonist. Last cycle I had 6 eggs and I was sooo hoping that the antagonist protocol would get me a few more than that. Gosh, I'm so worried!

[Lauren1171]

Finally back on!!! How is everyone doing?
katie and DandMe How were your betas?
hope How did ER go?

AFM my E2 on 2/13 was 290. This morning only 3 days later it is 2,064!!! So they are not cancelling my cycle. My next b/us is 2/18. I think my ER will be 2/20!!! I hope I get some good eggs lol!!

Lou: You just started stims 2/13 and the follicles are that big? I started on 2/6. Today, after 10 nights of high dose stims they finally have 5 follicles 13 and 14 mm. They lowered my dose to 375 gonal f and 150 menopur. So yes, yours will definitely catch up! The nurse told me I am just a slow stimmer but I catch up. Good luck!!

Hello ladies. I have missed you all. Of course this board went down in mist of a personal crisis. I lost my little one on 2/14/10. It was my son's birthday and of course Valentines day. It was horrible. I am still very saddened by what has occured and the not knowing why. I think we will try again for an FET in May. I have to get my hormone levels to normal and have at least one normal cycle so we'd be looking at April, but I plan to lose a few pounds between now and then so I'd like that extra month of just recovering. I wish you guys all the best and will be lurking around checking in on all of you. Thank you so much for being so warm and welcoming when I needed you guys. The best of luck to all of you!

[DandMe]

I can't BELIEVE the site was down! I was so missing all the updates...

Samgarkay.. I am SO sorry you lost your l/o... and on Valentines... Words don't help, but I am sorry.

Lauren; sounds like things are cookin' great - big huge hopes for great response!

I'll try to get to everyone tomorrow and catch up on where all are....

My third Beta was a great 272! Not huge by some standards, but it was great compared to my slow start and the clinic is thrilled. Doubling time was only about 31 hours. Ultrasound booked for March 18th..

[sarita28]

I have missed all of you so much!

Hope: How did ER go?

Sam: I am so sorry for what you're going through. You are in my prayers.

Sonya: I'm glad to hear your betas are continuing to increase!

Now, if we could only hear from Katie!

AFM: ER is finally Friday, 2/19. I went in for my first u/s on 2/14, and only had 8 follies (2 at 15, 2 at 13, one at 12, then smaller.) They upped my follistim and said to come back today. U/S showed 9 follies (18, 17, 16, 16, 15, then smaller.) So, they upped my Repronex and had me take that and the follistim along with the Lupron for one more night. What has me concerned is that 6 of those 9 are from my right ovary, the one that is not supposed to be functioning properly (it didn't even ovulate when we were doing IUI.) I hope the quality of my eggs is good. Only time will tell.

I do have a question: My Dr. wants me to do "supplemental hCG because of my ovarian response to the fertility drugs." I will take 1 ml on 2/20 and then another 1 ml on 2/23. Has anyone had to do this before?

Glad to have you all back!
