Hi all. How are we all today?
Jeck - I feel a bit stupid! :oops: I posted on the Sept thread and said to you I think I've posted to you before!!!!!!! DUH Image

Jordan and Susan - how did you know about the KC? Did your clinic check a routine or did you have to ask for it? I don't know if they do it at my clinic.

Nicola - how are you? Hope you're feeling a wee bit better.

Wow Dione - what a lot of follies!

Vicki - how did yest go?

Rachel - how are you today? Is it sunny on Ohio today. Relax and enjoy the sun if it is. That's if it's not too hot! I saw this week on the tv that in New York at 3 in the morning it was 32C Mental.

Hi to everyone else! Paula x

Paula

Because i have endometriosis which no on e is sure what causes it but lots of doctors think it is related to my immune system. thefore the cliic checked mine and i have a problem in a couple of areas. i take steriods and clexane and had IVIG to help with the prob.

I was told that there would be no way that i could get pregnant due to my body rejecting any foreign cells in my body as it was constantly fighting with my endo it would not beable to distiguish between that and my DH.

Not all clinics test for it so you might need to ask and some doctors say that it is not related and is rubbish!!!!!!!

((((nicola)))) I am so sorry.. I know what you mean about not wanting to see the hurt look.. It kills me to see DH when I have to tell him... and then I feel like I can't look at him for days...

Moritsha... after my failed IVF my RE thought it would be a good idea for me to be tested.. (most REs wait until you have 3 or 4 failed IVF cycles o many misscarrages... but the test is pricey and no ins will cover it because there are only 4 labs in the US that do the test and they do not accept ins.. it was about $450.00 but sooo worth it to me because it saved us thousands on more failed IVFs and a lot of heartache...

sad news

Post by racquel »

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well. Sorry this doesn't include personal messages for anyone else, just so caught up in my own thing I haven't absorbed anyone elses updates yet.

We were so looking forward to our scan tomorrow - big question on our minds being whether it was twins or singleton. BUT, I was feeling really unwell yesterday and spent most of the day lying down, woke up this morning with cramps and tons of bleeding. Dr. has had me take 3 PIO shots over the course of the day to "calm" my uterus and I've been flat in bed with my legs elevated. The cramping isn't as bad but the bleeding continues.

SO - we find out the scoop tomorrow but we're prepared for the worst. I've miscarried before and this is all too familiar....this is all a new experience for DH and this hit him hard today, it's been pretty awful. Don't worry about us tho, we have 5 frosties so we have another chance. I'll let you know when I have more info and can bear checking back in...

take care, Racquel

Nictor i am really sorry for your news and pain. i totally understand why you waited till your DH went out to tell him. It is realy hard and they find it hard to comfort us. i am thinking of you both.

Racquel Keep these legs up high and your stress levels down. i am keeping my fingers crossed that you will be ok. dont lose hope yet.

thanks susan - you were right!

Sono showed twins today with healthy heartbeats! We were so shocked and delighted. I have a very large subchorionic bleed which is larger than both sacs together and the dr. is concerned about it impacting the beanies, so I'm back on bedrest and will now be taking 2 PIO shots a day. I go back in Friday for another sono - they're hoping my body will absorb or pass the blood and all will be well. We're not out of the woods yet but this is the best possible outcome after our scare this weekend.

Take care everyone, and thanks for your support. -Racquel

Hi ladies.

Oh Nicola - what can I say? I'm really sorry. If you want to meet up just say. Image

Racquel - OMG - what a time you're having! RELAX. Image Twins AAAAArgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jordan & Susan - thanks for the info. If this treatment doesn't work (pray to God it does work) I'll ask the doc about testing. I also have endiom.

OMG - last night I was out gardening. I was lying in my bed at 10 and thought OMG I've forgotten my jab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Image I ran down the stairs and took it. I always take it at 6.30pm. I phoned the clinic today and said not to panic - no harm done. Thank god!

Take care everyone. Love Paula x Image

Well ladies, the time has come! Today's appointment shows that my body is ready! No more Lupron, Menopur, or Follistim! I have 10 good follies and am scheduled for EC Wednesday morning and will be taking the Ovidrel tonight!!!
I can not believe the time has come but I am so excited. I will check in with you on Wednesday after I feel rested.
