Quick question, I am trying not to think about it but cant get this brown blood off my mind... I been researching it and some are saying it could be a sign of ectopic.... Does anyone no naything on etopic pregnancy? I have had great beta 143,504,7635 and only this brown discharge once yesterday morning and once this am... I am sure its fine but sometimes I can be a hypo lol so I rather get some opinions on your thoughts... I also have really mild cramps, I wouldnt really consider them cramps but no other word to really describe the feeling I am getting except kinda like A/F...

Kynlee-your situation really does not sound at all like an ectopic pregnancy. And this is coming from not only a person who has gone through multiple cycles but I'm also a nurse. I really think this is a combination of implantation bleeding and hormones like progesterone and estrogen. Also in ectopic pregnancies Beta Hcg levels do not rise appropriate and this is not the case with yours. Try and take it easy. Sending you a BIG HUG.

Ok Nurse just called Dr wants me to go in for a U/S today and possible BW. They said I probably wont see HB so I will go back WEds but they want to put my mind at ease and also see if they see anything going on... Please say prayers I want my bean to be ok... Thya said it sounds like a few different things a UTI, a mutliply pregnancy (which I may have lost one early) or a small tear. They dont think Ectopic.. I will be able to sleep better knowing we are ok... :)

Hi everyone!

It's been about a year since I have been on the board, however I've been looking in at the posts every so often durning my own journey. I took a physical and metal break after my ovary twisted after a transfer. I am very excited to do a FET hopefully within the next couple of months, as well as get to know everyone and their journey.

kynlee - with DD I had mild cramps all through the first tri. Not with these 2 so much because I was too busy feeling sick. ;) It's totally normal. And as for discharge, your RE won't blink an eye unless you are gushing bright red blood - enough to fill a pad in an hour. Your bean is fine!

I am now relieved of any bad thoughts :) I went to the RE they did a early U/S 5wk6days and they saw my bean ;) and the heart was pumping I couldnt stop crying I was so overjoyed :) They said by Weds I could have a surprise since there was another area that they couldnt get to since my bladder was so full and my Fibroid was taking over the area, but to know I have a healthy bean makes my day! Thank you for all your encouraging words these last couple days.. :) As for the blood they said it was veins that pop and that it happens to alot of women, so if I see brown discharge dont get alarmed :) I am so blessed at this Moment, God truely made a miracle happen for me :) Oh and they checked my tubes and nothing so the coast is clear with that :)

Sunshine – when will you start your next cycle?

Waitingkay – congrats! That’s a great number! Sorry about the nasty secretary! At least you wont have to deal with her for too long! Boy I feel so bloated too, and you are right, it gets worse at night! And I am no even pregnant LOL But I had my retrieval last Monday, so it will take a while for things to go back to normal.

Tiger – Congrats on the great Beta numbers! I love the flowers idea! That’s super cute!

Kynlee – Did the brown discharge stop?

Nicole – hope you feel better soon!

Dys24 – I also had problems with Lupron. I had headaches every day! Daily 30 min walks gave me some energy and improved my mood while on Lupron. Are you exercising?

MadameX – That sounds like a fun pool party! 

We have hope – How are you feeling? I will keep you and your babies in my prayers.

To have fun – Yay! Beta doubling is a great sign!

LEora – How are you doing?

AFM – I had my 3 day transfer today. They transferred one 8 cell and one 10 cell. Its cute, the 10 cell one was 9 cell and divided again while we were waiting to transfer  One of my other embryos stopped growing, and the other 4 left weren’t that good. They will wait to see if they make it to day 6 to freeze.
I am still bloated, although I lost 4 lbs with the pineapple+mint juice. Today I drank water to do the transfer and started to feel super bloated again. Back to the juice, coconut water and Gatorade. I had a big bag of lays chips too . :shock:

LAdies, one question. I had my transfer today at 12: 45 pm and used a progesterone suppository at 2:30 pm. Is that ok? Can the progesterone kill the embryos? I wonder if I should have waited longer...

Pocos-oh hon, the answer to your question is absolutely not. The progesterone us to help your little bean not to harm it. My RE actually makes his patients take the progesterone suppository to the transfer and they have you insert it before you leave the clinic. So rest assured, you have dine nothing wrong.

Kynlee- That is amazing! Now you can definitely rest easier! Are you thinking twins? Are you having any symptoms?

Kay – Nice numbers!! Do you go back for a 3rd beta? When do you think your u/s will be? How are you feeling?

Sunshine- I really hope things with you and your DH and his job situation and cycling are all figured out soon. You totally deserve it!

Klinger – Your little girl is super cute!

Andsahsa – Welcome!

Pocos – Congrats on being PUPO! That is a good sign one dividing right when you were there! I am really going to have to try this pineapple mint juice, do you use a blender?

Blue – Good luck with starting stims tomorrow!

Tiger - I am good, just waiting but what else is new. My u/s is Tuesday night. Not really any symptoms. Sometimes I get a weird hunger feeling followed by a little nausea, but no big deal just carry around some goldfish crackers with me and I am fine. Who knows it could be my nerves. What about you?

Ninde – how is down reg going? Still hot flashing?

We- did you hear from your OB yet? Did I miss something?

Dys – Sorry the Lupron is not agreeing with you. Glad everything is looking good for your transfer. You will be PUPO in no time!

Madamex- I was not thinking twins till the Dr said today that we could have a surprise Weds but again it could just be the Fibroid and shadow so we shall see...I did put back 3 top grade so I new there was a possibility and DH was ok with whatever happened... I am happy with whatever God granted me :) and so relieved at this moment , until the next episode lol

Pocos-Congrats PUPO :) Rest up and drink tons of gaterade, did you ever ask your Dr about the med to help with the OHSS? As for the brown discharge, yes I had it again this morning and some mld cramping so that is why they let me come in to ease my mind some :)

AFM- On cloud nine, but will be praying everyday for this miracle bean to be safe :) This journey is so difficult but to know I will be called Mom someday will all be worth it :)

Quick update:
I finally spoke to my OB. He says that on the 18th my cervix had begun to change and was 2.97cm. The yesterday it was 2.1cm with funneling. However, because the FFN or Fetal Fibronectin Test was negative last week, they are confident that I won't go into labor for two weeks from the day of the test. They will redo the cervical length on Tuesday and if it gets to under 1.5cm we may need to have a different conversation. Also he advised that if the contraction get to 12 to 10 min apart I should go to labor and delivery. He said I should take it easy this weekend. So my mind is mow at ease. I just needed to hear from him. I will follow his instructions and see him on Tuesday. Thank you'll for your feedback and continued prayers.
