Today's update (I was right)

lhcooperlhcooper member
in TTC after 35

So, HCG test results from today: 252, down a full 500 points from Thursday's 752.  I was not at all surprised -- I would have been more than completely shocked if it had been anything different.  If anything, I feel relieved to know that what has been happening is almost over.  When I told the nurse I spoke with my new theory, that last week's heavy "period" was actually a m/c, she said that could indeed explain both the low first beta and the very dramatic drop in only two days.

I am surprisingly ok -- I guess because it wasn't like I got a BFP and then got to think I was pregnant for over a week before this happened.  It was more that it was just all so sudden and so bizarre and scary.  Thanks to everyone for being so kind and supportive -- it has really helped. I've already emailed my new RE updating her on the drama and asking for her advice on whether we proceed with IVF as planned as of my next period, or if she'd want me to wait for two cycles.  So I'm moving on.  And DH is here for the weekend.  Smile

me - 41 (dx: DOR); DH - 53 (no problems); 7/18/09 - married!; 8/4/09 - BFP on first (real)try; 9/14/09 - missed m/c; 9/15/09 - d&c; 11/09 - 3/10 - 4 natural cycles = BFN; 4/10 - dx hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease; 6/10 - thyroidectomy; 7/10 - 12/10 - 1 natural and 5 medicated IUI cycles = BFN; 1/11 - new RE; dx low ovarian reserve (AMH .42; 1/26/11 -- BFP (ectopic) from IUI #6; methotrexate 2/10/11; 6/2/11 - IVF #1 = BFN; 9/12/11 - prescreening for DE; 9/15/11 - IUI #7 (unmedicated)= BFN; 11/8 - begin DE cycle (shared risk program); 12/5 - ER (5 eggs/4 mature/3 fertilized/2 left by day 5) 12/10 - ET of one 1BB blast (expanded, "fair" quality), none to freeze; 12/22 - totally shocked by +hpt; beta #1 = 413; #2 = 3952 2/14 - CVS reveals a healthy baby girl! EDD: 8/27/12 DD born 8/31/12, 10 lbs 10 oz and perfect in every way.

    I've been trying again for awhile. This last cycle I was two days late and I didn't even have time to take a test. I started spotting just old blood first but when I got tightening and the sharpest cramps I've ever had and huge clots. The heaviness of it would have been some what normal had my periods been 45 days apart like they used to be. But they are now 32 days apart and my last two cycles have not been even close to what I was feeling and the pain I was in. I knew that I was having a miscarriage since I've had two in my life time. This one was early so the pain didn't last as many days as my last two. On the upside to this story is that after trying almost 4 years and using fertilaid for me and my husband and motility booster for 4 months and hubby having two surgeries over the past 3 years. It's a ray of hope that his infertility has improved. He get's tested this week to make sure and if it has we may at least have a chance for IUI since we can not afford ivf with 3 children already.

    My other 3 are boys 17,14 and 12  so we are starting all over again by the grace of God we will achieve more children.

    I pray for those of you who are just having your first. I feel bad enough not concieving my 4th after 12 years from my last child to think you are all trying for your first and struggling my heart go's out to you. I feel selfish at times for wanting more when others have none. But my heart has always wanted more and God touched my husbands heart and here we are. Baby dust to you all.

    Remember all God has perfect timing.. ;-)

    God bless.

    MJ
