Thanks @purepositivity! I have to stay positive or I'll just get depressed and lose hope...and who needs that?!

So a little update. The doctor called on Friday with Thursday's beta results. They were at almost 10,000, from the previous 4400 on Monday. I didn't have any more bleeding on Friday. This morning (Saturday) I had a deep brown colored blood clot come out on the toilet paper after my morning bathroom trip. Nothing has made it onto my underwear at all, but that clot really freaked me out. I'm also having some lower back pain. I'm just so worried. Hopefully the clot this morning was left over blood from the episode on Thursday.

@takethelongway I didn't know either. I read your blog. So sorry. I was glad to read you and DH are allowing yourselves to grieve the loss of your baby. Don't ever feel like you shouldn't be allowed. Your positive attitude is an inspiration. I am sorry for your loss.

@Jaqcap17 When I went to the er, the er doc was very nonchalant about passing clots. He said clots come from the vagina, not the uterus. I am a physician assistant, but I don't do women's health, so I don't know much about pregnancy, but this made sense to me. I hope that helps to get you through the weekend.

Hi ladies, I've been lurking but haven't been posting bc I'm really struggling with this last BFN. Trying to remain hopeful but I'm pretty miserable.

I'm so sorry that a few of you have had some scares but thankful your LO's are all still growing and will be perfect!

@takethelongway thanks for asking about me. I'm so sorry that your losa, I'm going to be following your blog now and I'm actually considering doing one myself. (Thanks @erinscaren for updating everyone for me.)

Have any of you ladies been diagnosed with endo?

When I went to my ob after to TTC for 2 and 1/2 years I had an HSG which showed one blocked tube and one partial. At that point my Ob suggested a LAP to see what was going on (bc I also have very painful ovulation, heavy AF and intercourse is extremely painful) but I was in such a hurry to have a baby that we jumped to IVF. After an early MC with my fresh and now 2 failed frozen I'm going back to meet with my Ob and discuss the possibility of the LAP before we start up with IVF again. This process is so crazy.

Hi!
Had my beta today, am 16dp5dt and it was 503.
As I did this at my regular doctors office (my clinic finds positive HPT enough) the nurse couldn't tell if it was good or not.
My doctor wasn't in, so she will check with him tomorrow if I should do another beta or not.
But she assured me those will double fast, and if I didn't do IVF they would have said 'congratulations you are pregnant'.

@tvh1982 Congrats! That's a great beta number!!!

Piperella · March 2016

Congratulations @tvh1982!!! That's a beautiful beta number. I'm so very happy for you and it's official!

Thank you for sharing the link to your blog, @takethelongway. Your writing is beautiful and really thought provoking. My heart hurts for the two of you and what you went through. I do love that you find the hope in the situation in that yes, you can get pregnant. I felt the same way. It's a huge accomplishment/feat. Have you two talked about when you want to try again? You're still in my thoughts and I hope that you two are on the road to healing and trying again soon.

I've never been diagnosed with endo, @christinav2015, but my colleage was and had to have a tube removed because of it. The RE suggested this would help increase her odds (she had a failed fresh, then did the lap surgery and they ended up removing a tube). She ended up with a BFP on her next FET. I hope you have some answers soon and please keep us updated. We are all rooting for you!

Hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying the warmer temperatures wherever you may be! I'm going to WDW for a conference/mini girlfriend vacation for the next week so I may be a little MIA! I had my last RE appt today at 10w3d and we got to see the baby moving all its hands and feet.. honestly mindblowing seeing that for the first time. I also had my blood drawn for the Materniti21 test today, and should hopefully get results within the next 10 business days.. UGH.. I hate waiting.

Thank you @Piperella

We have a follow-up with the RE on Saturday and we'll pick our next FET date. I think we're both ready to move on. I'm still dealing with some physical symptoms, but the RE said once my beta is back to <1 we can move forward. I had blood drawn today and my beta was down to 58.2. We're looking at mid-April or end of May. This is solely based on my track coaching schedule!

@tvh1982 That is a great beta! You are pregnant! I could not be happier for you!!!!
