*I am no longer regularly posting on TB because of the fucked up debacle of Jan 2015 when administrators banned long-term members and mods with no notice and completely dismantled a community full of women who cared about each other. If you see me posting it's only to give support to a poster who needs it or to post something important enough that I need to say. I am no longer responding to anything other than issues that affect people who I care about*

7/2013, Pregnant! Unmedicated--we were on a treatment break
8/20/13 no heart beat; 8/23/13 d&c
3/15/14 IVF #1: Lupron/Follistim/Menopur; ER 3/10 resulting in four transfer grade blastocysts, transferred one pretty blast and froze the remaining three. BFN.

Done with medical intervention and getting used to the idea of CFNBC.

I just read your latest update. I can understand being happy about the results for the septum but also feeling frustrated for not getting answers as to what happened.
I am glad that you and your H were able to talk and I hope seeing the psychologist helps you. *hugs*
I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.
I'm so sorry that the MRI didn't provide answers but glad that everything looked good. I'm glad you and DH were able to talk about the plan going forward. (((Hugs)))
I am so glad received good news, but can imagine how frustrating not walking away with more certain answer can be. Wishing you all the best going forward and FX nothing but wonderful things are set to come your way.
I'm glad the MRI was normal but I know how frustrating it is not to have any answers. I know you've had other testing done, but I just like to be that nagging reminder that there's always an exception to false test results -- my MRI was clear and negative for a septum also. LIES ALL LIES. The way my septum laid, the MRI slices weren't thin enough to catch it on the pictures. Believe me that I've scoured all 700+ images and I never saw the septum either (I'm an xray tech so I do know what I'm looking at for the most part).
The further tissue testing, I had it done once. I had decided I wouldn't do it again. Mine was also normal female, supposably the company (natera inc) runs it against my blood (a vial was sent) to rule out maternal contamination -- I'm sure there's still some margin of error on this. The only plus side was the company took what my insur paid out and then I was only responsible for $100 on the remaining balance. @alleycat39 had this test done also.

Thinking of you. I think seeing the therapist at the clinic is a good plan. I am glad you and H had a good talk and I am very glad you don't need surgery.

Just read your final update. I hope that the psychologist helps. Mine has helped tremendously. DH and I have had similar end of the road conversations and I know how hard they are. It sounds like you are both on a similar thought process though so that is so good to hear. Lots of hugs to you.
I'm so sorry that you still don't have answers love! I'm glad that you are on the same page and I hope that the psychologist helps. (((((HUGS)))))

What a pain! Ruling out conditions is both extremely helpful informationally and very frustrating, when it is one more item to cross off the list, when you might have otherwise had an explanation. That is great that they have psych support for loss/IF issues. I hope it is very helpful. Living in confusion sucks.
Wow, that's a lot to take in. In so relieved to hear that your MRI came back normal. Still, though, though it's fustrsting not to have any firm answers. I'll be thinking of you... ((Hugs))
