Went in to clinic in early June. They saw a "nice follicle" (I normally only have 1-2 = reduced ovarian reserve) and instructed us to trigger and have IC. If I didn't start my period in 14 days, take a HPT. Got my period 11 days later (my cycles are normally around 21 days). Didn't take HPT. Switched to clinic to start IVF. They did the ultrasounds, put me on clomid and injectables and retrieved an egg (just 1) at the end of June. I never got my period in July. I went in. Doc was convinced it was a cyst. Had me take a PT anyway = positive. Apparently, I was pregnant DURING the egg retrieval (no sex, IUI or egg transfer since early June, period in mid June, IVF ER at end of June). Because I responded to the clomid and because my HSG is rising (but not doubling - increased by about 30%) he's convinced my pregnancy is abnormal. He thought I would MC 2 weeks ago, but nugget is holding on. Doc thinks I should take meds to deliberately miscarry. My instinct is to hold out, see if nature takes it's course, and do a genetic test at 10 weeks to see if there is an abnormality. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Re: Trigger Warning - Abnormal Pregnancy
I would ask this in the infertility board. You may get better answers there
I almost think it's more likely they missed a follicle, you released that egg naturally, and you got pregnant from that egg. Did you have sex 5 days leading up to the ER?
Additionally you haven't told us why he automatically thinks this pregnancy would be abnormal? With no genetic testing? And he's telling you to abort? WHAT??
None of this adds up at all. Either you aren't understanding your doctor or you have a wildly incompetent doctor.
Also, how was an existing pregnancy not noticed during the uterine lining checks or transfer during ultrasound?
Do a bunch of reading on the infertility board here, do a bunch of other research about what happens in a typical IVF cycle. Nothing about your experience sounds normal.
