Infertility

Same story different cycle

So I had some spotting on Thursday and went in for a u/s on Friday. Everything looked fine and my lining was thicker than it was that Wednesday so no worries. My nurse just assumed it was either old AF or irritation from the Viagra suppositories. Well today it's back but way worse. I have no idea wht this crap could be. :: Warning I'm going to be descriptive:: Its a dark brown color, a slightly cream consistency and I cn feel it flow like AF not like a discharge. It's heavy enough that I'm having to wear a pad instead of a liner. And I have been cramping all day. I know this cant be from irritation and surely not from AF that ended a week ago. This is what always happens and when it happens. I just don't understand why at all. Hell I'm not even real sure what it is. I pray this is not my lining crapping out but it probably is. I go in Tuesday for a u/s with my RE so I'll just have to wait and see if I get cancelled or the third time in a row.

    3 Clomid IUIs -- BFNs

    Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
    Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
    Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
    OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
    On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
    Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
    Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!

  • Progesterone stabilizes your lining. Maybe they need to add some on

  • I see you were diagnosed with endo in 2007, in the past I sometimes had dark brown cm/discharge which I never really thought about until I was diagnosed with having a chocolate cyst and mod endo which I had surgery for.  I don't know, you might want to have it checked out just to rule out an endo flare up.

  • Does anyone have a clue what this could be? Is it possible it's old AF? I just had a hysteroscopy last month and it was all normal.

  • They saw me on Friday because of this and it turned out fine. So I'm nervous that they will think I'm a over reacting nervous basket case. But it's heavier than it was last week. Uugghhhhh....... I'm so sick of this *** it's almost not even worth the constant disappointment anymore.

  • I am so sorry that you have to go through all of this.  I would call tomorrow.  That is what they are there for.  Better to find out than suffer with the stress for another day.  I would also ask about the progesterone.  I just can't believe everything that you have to go through.  I am sending you lots of prayers and good thoughts.  Hopefully it is nothing but some leftover blood from last af or irritation.  Good luck sweetie!

  • Hi Crystal, I've been thinking about you and how you were doing.

    I'm so sorry that this sh*t just doesn't seem to end for you. I hope your appointment goes well and the lining is good. I never did a medicated FET, so I don't know what the blood could mean but I sometimes get that after BD on certain cycle days...

  • Hey Crystal,  I had spotting pretty heavy last week.  I was wearing pads.  The last day of the "spotting" was dark brown and thick.  Hopefully, yours stopped today or they fit you in.  Otherwise, tomorrow will be a big day.  Keep us updated!  Thinking of you!! {{ HUGS }}
