please send good thoughts

I'm not really telling many people IRL, but I could really use all the good thoughts (and prayers if you pray).  A while ago I posted, in TTT I think, that I would be going to the doctor because I've had bruises covering my legs, have been losing weight, and (TMI) have had blood in my stool for about 9 months.  I kept putting off going to the doctor, but finally I bit the bullet and went in last week.  They did all the typical tests including thyroid and blood tests which all came back normal.  My next step is a colonoscopy which has yet to be scheduled.  During my last doctor's appointment I asked my doctor what her next "guess" at a diagnosis was and she said that the reason they are doing the colonoscopy is to check for colon cancer.  She said that if it's not colon cancer it's possible that my symptoms could be caused by two different problems. 

I definitely don't want to get ahead of all the tests and jump to conclusions since I'm only 25, but I am scared and would love some good vibes.  So if you have a couple extra seconds I'd appreciate it.  Thank you!

    Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  It really means a lot :)

    I got a call from the GI today and I have a consultation set up for May 14th.  I just keep telling myself that it can't really be that bad if they are willing to wait a month to set up the initial consultation.  I promise I will keep everyone updated whenever I get any more information.

    Sending positive - and calming - thoughts your way!

    I have a long history of ulcerative colitis, and therefore, a long history of receiving colonoscopies.  While it is a yucky procedure, it is a great diagnostic tool. As my GI has assured me many times, colonoscopies are used to confirm the absence of cancer before moving forward with other diagnostic and treatment plans.  I hope May 14 comes quickly so that you can get some answers - like most things, the waiting can be the worst part.  I am sorry you are going through this.

    I'm sending lots and lots of good thoughts and hopes your way.
    ****loss discussed*****

    We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.

    Our IUIs
    with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.

    Our IVFs:
    IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response

    IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
    BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
    2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
    BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
    1st ultrasound (3/6  6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm. 

    ***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***

    FET #1 December 2014
    Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)
    BFP on Dec. 27; Beta 1 Jan 2 (14dp3dt): 665, Beta 2 Jan 4 (16dp3dt): 1859, Beta 3 Jan 6 (18dp3dt): 4449, Beta 4 Jan 10 (22dp3dt): 12,251.
