Good Morning Girls,

Just a quick message to say hi, hope your all keeping well and the PMA is high :wink:

I started bc on sat and will hopefully have my first blood test in between 24-27th. If my fsh is low enough, "something I worry about". It took me a year to get one good month for tmt this last time. Anyways, if all goes well i'll start my tmt again on day 3 of cycle. I'm hoping and praying that i'll start again somewhere around 27th, give or take a few days. Keep your fingers crossed for me that my fsh is still down, or even better - lower!!

Will be back soon to catch up on you all.

Huggs to everyone

Randa?????????????? what's the story? I've not seen a post from you for weeks, or so it feels. I have a feeling, not since Katrina...everything alright? Still due for EC next week? Please let us know you're OK, I'll worry otherwise..

Hi all other prime-of-life ladies....how are you doing?

I'm off for my DR13 blood test tomorrow and should start stims next week.

Sharon, how's DR?
Jane, great idea re. the FSH thread.
Kat, any news?
Lynne, you MUST be back soon, surely?
Caroline/cmg, I'm watching for your Nov. Buddies thread!
Paula, feeling positive and ready to go? will DH be around more this time?

hugs to all
Debra.

lost my baby again

Post by erjumper »

Lost the heartbeat again with a fetus measuring 8 weeks. No insurance and no money left for any more IVF cycles but do have 3 frozen. OB says with a history of 3 recurrent miscarriages despite baby ASA, lovenox and metformin we have a "very high" risk of it happening again. I don't know if I can go through this again. I don't know how i'll make it thru the next 24 hours.

Debra, I second that - Randa, hope all is well - please get in touch. We need to know you are ok and where you are in your cycle. I know Randa had been posting on the Healthy Bodies/Minds etc thread but that was a couple of weeks ago?

Down regging is fine now, just had that awful migraine last weekend but I think it was a combination of period/heavy weather (sounds like a weather forecast - :lol: How are you feeling Debra? Down regging ok with you? Good luck with your blood test.

Also, has anyone heard how DebbieEd got on with her scan today? I had checked the PG thread but couldn't see any posts earlier this evening.

Jane, I agree with DebraP, the FSH thread is an excellent idea - good luck with your test soon - everything crossed for you.

Hi too to Paula and Kat - hope all is well with you two ladies.

Have had a wonderful evening :lol: I thought I would clean my house and not have to do anything on the weekend. I started at about 8pm and just finished at 10.30pm. I am done for now - will flop into bed for sure. Anyway, I'm sat here catching up and listening to Beth Neilson Chapman 'Every December Sky'. That song makes me cry every time without fail - has anyone else ever heard this track - it's beautiful. Debra, I think the down regging is taking hold!! :?

Lisa,

I'm so sorry to hear your news. I'm devastated for you. Don't the drs know why this keeps happening? I wish I could say something to make you feel better, but I really don't know if anything could. I think the only thing you can do is take some time. Don't worry about your next step yet. I know that's easier said than done. I'm sending you huggs and positive vibes. I wish you nothing but the best and hope your feeling better soon.

Huggs

Take lots of time to grieve, you and DH. We're here if you want to rant and rave about the injustice of it all.

Hello All,

Lisa - so sorry to read your news. I can only imagine how I would feel if this happened to me and it ain't good. Please take care of yourself.

Sharon - my scan was fantastic on Thursday. It was amazing to see one little heartbeat. Everything was perfectly normal - the embryo measured 8.5mm and we have a great picture. We have another scan in two weeks. The clinic said that they offered this to people if they wanted it. Needless to say we jumped at the opportunity.

I've now phoned my GP to inform them of my pregnancy (still sounds weird). They wanted me to see the doctor so that she could confirm it!!!! Needless to say I then told them about the tmt and they passed me straight to the midwife. Now have to wait for her to contact me.

Don't have any morning sickness, but do tend to feel a bit queezy during the afternoon/early evening. Boobs have grown (will soon need new bras) and I already can't get some of my trousers on!!!!! I'm going to need to watch what I eat so that I don't put too much wieght on at this rate. I guess in a couple of weeks I will be obviously pregnant to everyone!

Hang on in there with the PMA all of you. Thinking of you all going through the tmts.

Love
Debbie
