OK ladies, here you go. 6dp5dt to 8dp5dt (this morning), left to right.



Maria - huge bummer about the BV. I had it once in college - NOT fun. Glad it's easily treated though.

[LauraN]

Ker- I definately see the lines...how exciting.
AFM- not so good news. No heartbeat. So just waiting to hear back from the surgery scheduler to schedule a d&c so that we can do genetic testing. What sucks....is that I still have to do my PIO shots so that I dont start bleeding.

[kerpupples]

Oh Laura, I'm so very sorry. I remember feeling I was in the clear with DD when we saw the heartbeat, so I can imagine how devastating it must be. And continuing PIO is just adding insult to injury.

[LauraN]

Sorry, I was updating in the car on my phone, I was going to share a little bit more. Now, I think I've completely supressed my feelings, I did tear up while we were there, and then as I was driving out of the parking garage, I started to cry, then quickly stopped, so I am waiting for the flood of tears to happen, but I think I'm just frustrated and mad right now. Anyways, not sure why I just put all of that. So, as soon as the ultrasound tech put the thingy in, I knew it was over, because I didn't see a heartbeat immediately, she did some measurements and was all quiet, then said she wanted one of the docs to come in a take a look, and then I asked where the heartbeat was and she shook her head. And, not sure I mentioned last time, but at the first scan, I was 7W1D, and the baby was measuring 6W3D, I questioned that and they said that sometimes the measurements are off, etc and not to worry. Well, today, 9 days later, it was still measuring at 6W3D. So, he/she didn't even survive very long after that ultrasound. The doctor said that there were 3 options, 1) let it happen on it's own, 2) take some med (didn't recognize the name), they put some pills in your vajayjay in the morning and then by the afternoon it happens and it can be a little painful 3) do a D&C and then we could do genetic testing. So, my DH really wanted to do the D&C so that we could do the genetic testing. I really don't want to do a D&C, but only because I am sick of procedures...I get his point and agree with him. The RE said that it would take about 4 weeks to get the results back and if they find something(which theoretically they would), then they can test us to see if we are carriers, or whatever. Then, IF we decide to do another fresh IVF, my personal opinion is to not do it without PGD and only transfer healthy, normal embryos. We really couldn't afford this second round of IVF, but took out another loan...so we will see. We do have 1 frozen embryo, but I am not wanting to move forward to transfer it with our stats right now. So the D&C is scheduled for 3 PM CST on Tuesday. They will knock me out, so at least I have the good sleep to look forward to and I think I'll go ahead and get back on track and lose some weight so that I can get down to where I need to be. I was already wigging out about gaining a few pounds, which I know sounds stupid, but when you've lost 140 lbs, the thought of even putting back on an oz of it makes you crazy. Plus, I was still 40-50 lbs away from my "ideal" weight. So, that will go on the front burner. So now, I'm going to log into work, even though it's my day off and sip on my real coffee....the first caffinated coffee I've had since a month before the transfer. I know it has a gazillion grams of caffine in it, but it's so yummy, but I was good, I got a skinny vanilla latte.....

LauraN-I am so sorry. My prayers are with you. Please know that I am here for you.

[WeHaveHope]

Kerpupples-I definantely see the lines. Woohoo, congratulations. Keep posting!!!

[Ninde]

LauraN: im so so sorry. That is just so awful. I didnt realise your first scan had beten worrying you. My 7 week scan was similar to your first one where the baby was measuring smaller but there was a heartbeat. 10 days later the baby had doubled insize but wasnt enough to sustain the heart and the baby died. Im so sorry you now have to face another procedure and that you have to go through this pain.ill be thinking of you now and on tue. And again im so sorry

So I was sitting at work today just thinking. I've actually been pregnant three times in the last six months. I don't think I had never really thought of it that way. I will be five weeks this Sunday and have my next beta the following day which would make me five weeks and one day pregnant. I think o was a little over five weeks pregnant when i had the MC last time. So I was looking at a bunch of apps on my iphone and one again i downloaded a bunch of pregnancy apps and signed up for the pregnancy.com website. I had done this with the last pregnancy. After downloading all the apps and looking at all te pictures I thought to myself "Maria what in the world are you thinking"? I did this with the last pregnancy and I found myself to be so disappointed when I had the miscarriage. I ended up havinf to delete all the apps and send an e-mail to be taken off of the mailing list for the pregnancy.com website. I know that this pregnancy is not guaranteed and I know as a matter of fact that nothing is promised tomorrow. I have no idea what's going happen but this time I have promised myself that I am going to enjoy looking at pictures and reading about what's going on with my body and the little miracle that's going inside of me. I promised myself that I'm not going to worry about tomorrow I'm not going to worry about what is going to happen. I'm just going to enjoy this moment. I'm going to enjoy every day and if something were to happen I've promised myself that I'm not going to regret having enjoyed these moments. They have been given to me for a reason, just a's the other ones were. Sorry for all the mushy talk.

LauraN- im so very sorry to hear that you lost your lil angel

Today when we went for our US i was so paranoid!! I think i will be each time!! we are 7W3D but the baby is measuring 7W6D so thus far all looks well thank goodness! we were released to a regular OB so that is very exciting also! Hope that everyone had a wonderful friday!!

LauraN - I'm so sorry. After 3 M/C I think PGD is what finally helped us.

[Sunshine1576]

Oh LaureN I am so sorry to hear your shocking news. I remember when dh and I saw no heartbeat-it was earthshattering, my own heart stopped beating for a moment! I know we were pg for a very short time, but the moment we find out we are pregnant we cannot help but become emotionally attached. I felt like someone in my own family had died and it took months for me to snap out of it. Dh wanted the d&c as well so we could move forward, but now wished we had done genetic chromosome testing, so definately do what's best. We can only move forward when we're good and ready to, but know we are thinking and praying for you and dh during this time. We're always here for you!
Sincerely,
Christy

[LauraN]

I have a question for those that have done PGD or know more about it than I do. If it is determined that my uterus is fine, Which they are pretty much saying it's totally great, and that the reason the pregnancies are viable is because of chromosomal abnormalities, if we do PGD and the only transfer chromosomally normal embryos, would that guarantee a viable pregnancy? On one hand I am thinking yes, but on the other hand, that almost sounds too easy. I know there would be a chance of doing pgd on all of them and coming up with no normal ones, but again, if there were some normal and we transferred, would we be guaranteeing a viable pregnancy as long as we did what we were supposed to.
