Dolly - I'm so sorry to hear your bad news. Make sure you take it easy and pamper yourself a little. Let's hope for a better 2005.

Anyone started this week??
Hi everyone,
We're back from Ireland and just catching up on the various posts.
Lindy,
I'm so sorry about the miserable and terrifying time that you are having. Good luck with the blood test on Tuesday I hope your body has started to calm down and that you are getting some peace from the torment.
Dolly
So sorry to hear the test was negative but you sound very strong and determined to try again - good on you.
It took us 3 cycles of IVF, 2 FET, one 5 day transfer then finally a 6 day blastocyst transfer before we finally get a positive. I'm sure that 2005 will be your year.
Alette,
Hope you're doing OK. Good to see that you are still posting, have you thought about getting another opinion from a different clinic?
Orla,
Hope things work out with your house move and that you get another buyer early this month.
Hugs to all and best wishes to all for 2005

Hi everyone,
Finally some answers. Day 37 last Thursday and HCG was 6,670 and still increasing. Explanation, is that on day 10 (10th December) the embryo came away and left the egg sac behind. It should all have gone when I had a heavy bleed on 23rd December. Unfortunately today, now day 40 I still have the egg sac growing and no signs of a period. My accupunturist gave me some herbs (tastes awful) which should have encouraged a bleed. No appearance of any more blood yet!! But hopefully it will appear in the next week or so, as I really want try to come to terms with my very early loss of our embie. I have a bloated belly and pain on my left side due to 3 rather large cysts which also need to go this month. Seen my GP this morning and I've been referred to the local Gyni clinic for further monitoring.
Me and dh saw a councellor for the 1st time on Saturday and this has helped a little. She said that the circumstances we were in were very unfortunate for IVF first timers and that we needed to grieve the loss first before we could move on. But we are still in limbo until I finally bleed or choose to have surgery to remove it. I'm reluctant to have anymore surgey. Dh doesn't want to talk about it just yet and it's driving me mad. His father told him on Boxing Day that he'd got Prostrate Cancer and this has just added to his stress. It's all too much for him and I can't seem to help him. I cannot talk to my friends or family as they just don't understand. I think that once this is all over we'll take a break for a few months to recover and support his father and then see if we want to try IVF again.
Hope you are all looking after yourselves!!
Love Lindy

Lindy....you've been hit by about 10 things at once haven't you? I'm so sorry your first experience has been so unusual (and negative). I think the counsellor is right, I've been on here for 14m and not read of another similar case and yet 100+ women must have posted during that time.
Is its possible to have the cysts and sac removed at the same time, so as to minimise the amount of invasive treatment? I'm not sure how cysts are removed but some joint treatment must be possible surely?
Sorry DH can't handle talking about it right now. Can you see the counsellor on your own if you want? it might help offload how you feel about his issues too. The board is here for just this reason. Talking to people like us who know how crap things can be at times but have to keep quiet about it because people can't and don't understand.
Keep posting and I hope the herbs have a very quick effect.
hugs
Debra.

Hi Lindy
I have just read your post i cant believe the time you are having, being in a state of limbo because of what is going on. I hope everthing sorts itself out naturally so you dont have to go through any procedures as i am sure you dont really need that at the minute. Sorry to hear about your DH fathers news, i am sure you are both under so much pressure and stress at the minute.
The best thing might be to have a break and try to get your heads together and gather your thoughts.
My thoughts are with you.
Love
Orla
