Infertility Veterans

Update:

Hi ladies.  I haven't updated about me in a few weeks because I have been afraid to jinx myself.  Our Beta continued to go up.  #1 450  #2 958  #3 2,650.  Today we had our first ultra sound at 6w 2d.  There were two sacks but only one had a heartbeat (123).  They seemed positive about the one but since I have never been to this point, I don't know what to think.  We are optimistic but also terrified.  Anyway, I want to thank all of you for your love and support.  I truly don't know what I would have done with out you.  I  hope that you will allow me to stick around and offer support and prayers back at you.

Re: Update:

  • Firstly, I am so happy for your success and strong beta's. I am also sorry with your loss and I am sure that you are feeling bitter sweet about it all right now. H&H for the next 8'ish months.

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
    SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

    Little A born 38w 2d on 05/23/13 and is a true miracle for this IF Vet!

  • Hi sweets!

    I was sooo wondering when your first u/s was and almost FB'd you last night to ask. But I didn't think it would be today! WOW!  YAY for a heartbeat. Did they say anything about the other sac-- ie maybe it is a little early and the other one could still make it?   I'm sure it is bittersweet and I'd be terrified too (how could you not be after all this!!)  but I'm praying for your LO that he/she will be joining you for Christmas.    I'm so happy for you!!! (hope you had fun in Puerto Rico as well)

    Ps: I finally booked our vacation and we leave 5/9. yay!

    Yay, for vacation!  Where are you going?  Puerto Rico was wonderful and relaxing.  Just what the RE ordered.  ;)

    No, there was pretty much no encouragement for Baby B as they were calling him or her.  They did an u/s upstairs at the RE office and then because they were having trouble seeing, send me downstairs to the big imaging center to get another one with the radiologist.  He was very matter of fact that it didn't look like viable pregnancy.  Everyone did say Baby A looked good.  I don't have enough information about this.  Does the problem with Baby B make Baby A more at risk.  I never thought I would get here and now that I am, it's difficult in a different way.

    How are you doing?

    How are you doing?   

    Praying for Baby A! Since it is so early I don't think Baby B will effect Baby A. Just try to take it one  day at a time, one milestone at a time.  I'm sure it is very scary and a whole new set of worries. Keep me posted. I don't want to bug you asking all the time!

    I'm ok. So so. You know how it goes especially when you are just waiting around, doing nothing..  We are going to Punta Cana and I can't wait. DH and I need some time away to reconnect.

    It sounds like things are going well!  6w2d is still early.  So, you could still get a second heartbeat.  The heartbeat that you have is nice and strong!
