  • Poppies, I know it's difficult, but try not to look at it as being treated like a science experiment. Believe me, I know how it feels. Try and look at it as a way to maybe get more information about what's going on and to maybe help prevent it from happening again.

    After my blighted ovum, I felt like I didn't belong anywhere. It's a surreal experience to be told your pregnant, feel pregnant, and technically be pregnant but for there to be no baby. It's an awful feeling. I understand completely and am here if you ever want to talk.





    dx:  Unexplained IF (mild MFI)

     TTC since May 2011, 1 year trying, and then 3 TI, 2 IUI = BFN

    IVF #1 (May 2013):  Antagonist Protocol: 
    24R, 18M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 2 early blasts, no frosties = BFN
    IVF #2 (August 2013):  Lupron Stop Protocol: 
    28R, 23M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 1 partially hatched blast, 7 frosties = BFP
    EDD 5/23/14, blighted ovum (6w6d), D&C (8w6d)
    FET #1 (April 2014):  transferred 2 5d blasts = BFP

  • Poppies I'm sorry you're having to go through this, it's absolutely not fair and my heart goes out to you. In regards to the poking and prodding; I know it doesn't feel good but I'm looking at it as they are having you do everything you can to give poppyseed the best chance, if you stopped the protocol then the possibility would be gone. You are always welcome here and even though I'm much more active on the FB group I know that we are all here for each other no matter the stage of TTC that we're in. Lots of T's and P's that the betas continue going up.

  • i'm sorry you're going through this. it really blows. :( that said, i don't think that they are keeping you on the meds for the reasons that you think they are. at this point, there are three potential outcomes: 1) your numbers start dropping on their own; 2) they continue to rise in a funky manner and starts to look like an ectopic; 3) numbers manage to sky rocket and things are ok. the thing is that there is no way to know what is going on until more beta's are done. and until more beta's are done it wouldn't make sense to stop meds because stranger things have happened. if you stopped the meds would you always wonder what might have happened if you hadn't? that's personally how i think about things when i'm stuck in crummy situations. and until they know what is going on there is no way to entirely move forward with a plan. when i was stuck in beta limbo i was told that once we go the results of the pending beta that if the numbers hadn't risen properly they would schedule an u/s to see if it was ectopic but they also warned that until those beta numbers hit about 1000 they may not see much of anything, so they were warning that i might be stuck in limbo for awhile (as it turned out the beta results showed my numbers dropping naturally so it was all a moot point). so unfortunately, you're kind of stuck right now waiting to see what happens next and until then the best option is to continue with the same protocol. an RE wouldn't tell a patient to stop their progesterone until it was confirmed that it was going to be a loss or that it was ectopic. i know, super sucks. beta limbo sucks. not getting good news sucks worse. i'm sorry you're dealing with this.
    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!
