Off to a rough start.....

Anyone else have a rough start to their pregnancy?

I had two embies transferred about 16 days. I will be about 5 weeks on Tuesday. RE is concerned that the pregnancy might be ectopic. I have been having spotting on and off for about a week. A little more heavy at the beginning of the week (around the time of when my period would have been due). I had cramping for one day about a week ago but that has completely subsided. Has anyone had this? My theory is that it might be twins. I have heard that spotting is more prevelant with twins?

I have an appointment with the RE tomorrow to discuss our options if the pregnancy is ectopic. I am so anxious to see what my beta is. When I went on Friday it was at 149.6.

Sigh. Isn't it supposed to be easier after you get pregnant? LOL.



TTC Journey:
Me: Dx stage I endometriosis DH: minimal MFI - 3% morph
IUI #1 - cycle converted to IVF #1 due overproduction of follies.
BFP - m/c :(
IVF #2 (finally) - Lupron + FSH + Ovidrel + Crinone = 10 eggs retrieved, Two grade A embryos transferred, 3 frosties!
BFP - Beta #1 39.4 Beta #2 22 = c/p :(
FET #1

    I'm sorry, that does sound rough.  I don't have any experience with any of this, but hope you get good news and it's not ectopic.  Best wishes to you.

    Well, I had spotting/bleeding all through my first trimester...and I'm pregnant with one little one. Doctors never found a cause for my bleeding, and baby was (and still is) always doing great. I keep being told "some women just bleed"....it sucks, but I guess it happens!

    Ugh, that sounds like it would be so scary!  I'm hoping that the rest of the pregnancy sails by smoothly!!!

    I had a rough start with OHSS but am feeling a lot better now and hoping that I too am going to have an easier time of it!!

    I had bleeding in my first tri too and am pg with a healthy singleton. I've never heard the theory that bleeding is more common with twins, however it is widely believed that bleeding is more common with IVF. GL to you!

    I'm sorry to hear this -- let's hope for good news at your next appointment!! 

    As for the twins, cramps, and spotting -- I cramped very early on (before our first beta test) but I haven't had any spotting.  I'm 18+ weeks now.  

    I'm thinking of you...
