And we start over…

I brought my Ob appointment forward to Monday.  Something ’shifted’ on Sunday.  The fatigue lifted, as did the vague nausea and I no longer had any breast tenderness.
The US, first abdominal, then vaginal, then abdominal revealed that Twin B has also died.  No obvious cause. I’m thinking of miscarrying naturally in case a D&C will [...]

What a Rollercoaster

I thought that the best way to deal with my ‘lack’ of symptoms and set things to rest was to go for a scan.  My GP gave me a referral but I couldn’t get in for two weeks!  By then I would have seen my Ob and it would be unnecessary.  I finally found a [...]

6w3d

Well I tried to book a scan. In the absence of any symptoms I confess I have good days and bad. I would really like to enjoy this! Can’t get in until the 4th of May. Aaargh!!!
So it’s back to the drawing board.

How do you define insanity?

Last night after yet another completely symptom free day I decided to stop my Progesterone.  I had gone to the Dr that morning for a repeat Beta but the result was late.  She agreed with me that it sounded like a Blighted Ovum.  Notice no health professional has tried to talk me into this pregnancy [...]

I can’t handle it.

Today I’m sad.  I have cried and cried.  I’m so sure this isn’t going to work.  I still have no symptoms.  I feel COMPLETELY NORMAL and I’m sick of my few well meaning friends who know telling me I’m paranoid and it will be ok.  I haven’t told Mum because I wanted to save the [...]

First Beta

I went to the Dr yesterday and asked for a Beta. Result came in at 205.  I was 15dpo so that’s pretty good.  When the Dr (not mine) phoned me with the result he said “I don’t expect that it will be viable at that level.  I hope you aren’t too disappointed”  Fortunately, although [...]

Go figure – I hereby declare I no longer know my body at all.

I’ve been quietly drifting along this cycle. My FS didn’t want me to trigger and I didn’t manage to schedule a scan so I don’t know :

How many follicles I grew on 225iu Gonal-F
How many follicles I ovulated
Exactly when I ovulated because things didn’t add up as accurately as normal

I’m still charting and my temp [...]

Silver Lining

Well it looks like it’s all over.  I haven’t felt comfortable with this pregnancy since I found out about it because it was so vague.  Late symptoms and low Beta – 54.  I tried to rationalise that it may be a ‘late implanter’ but I suspect that the line I got at 8dpo after the [...]

Knock me over with a feather…

OK, so the FET was a big wash out and I was waiting for AF.  My temperature was still up, but of course,  that was just because I couldn’t pinpoint ovulation accurately thanks to the progesterone.  I let myself entertain the idea that I might be pregnant – Ha – just after shelling out $ooo’s [...]
