It's pretty much over. They did a pelvic exam, blood test, and ******l ultrasound...nothing. She said that I either caught a really early pregnancy and miscarried, or I had a false positive HPT. She said it would be odd that I get more than one false positive, but who knows now. Hard to tell. They want me to go back on Monday for another round of blood work, just in case. I really don't want to go, because I pretty much know the answer. But I guess I will.

There is nothing more miserable than sitting in the ultrasound waiting room surrounded by pregnant woman while waiting to confirm that you are NOT pregnant. Seeing so many pregnant people today just made things worse.

I just hope we get pregnant soon because I'm not so sure how much more I can take. I want another child so badly, but at the same time, I'm tired of the disappointment. This has just been awful and I"m so afraid to go through it again.

My DS keeps asking me what's wrong and I tell him I don't feel good. He keeps telling me to take some medicine so that I will feel better. Boy, I sure do wish it was that easy.

skuttle, I haven't posted on this thread for a while although I do lurk now and then. I just wanted to pop in to tell you how very very sorry I am. I've been where you are and I do understand the hurt - I've had 3 miscarriages within the past 2 years. Please know that I am thinking of you. I hope and pray with all my heart that you will soon get - and stay - pregnant.

I am so sorry. Believe me when I say that I know how you feel. You and I need to team up and go PHHTTBBB whenever we feel bad...

Allison, I have been thinking about you all day. I kept checking the boards at work looking for a post from you (don't tell my boss). I am so sorry it was bad news.

I hope this story makes you (and the rest of y'all) smile even a little bit:

I knew I had to do an OPK test today, so I held it all the way home (about a 45 mins.) and by the time I got home, I really had to go, but I was so concerned about my buddy Allison, I had to check in. I read her post (and was very upset) and then ran upstairs to get the OPK and hit the bathroom. Remember, I had to GO, so that dixie cup I was peeing into was quite full, well . . . I was in such a state with the rushing and the bad news that I didn't quite get the cup all the way on the counter. I spilled my pee. And then for some stupid reason, I tried to catch my pee. I got pee all over the sink, the floor, and worst of all, myself!! It soaked through the roll of toilet paper, so I ummm, couldn't use that (for anything). I am standing in the bathroom with with my wet pants around my ankles, with pee everywhere and I am evaluating the situation to see if there is enough pee left in the cup I managed to "catch" to perform the test. How ridiculous is that?

It took awhile, but it's all cleaned up now. But I still feel gross. And the test was negative.

 

[Tasha+Scott]

I'm so, so, so sorry Skuttle! I can't even imagine what a difficult time this is for you. I will be thinking about you.

 

[skuttle]

I hope this story makes you (and the rest of y'all) smile even a little bit:

I think I laughed a real laugh for the first time since yesterday. So thanks for spilling your pee because of me. LOL!

I'm so ready to get this show on the road. Ready to start trying again. I'll be temping...maybe even trying OPK. I'm just SO ready to get another BFP. Whatever it takes!

 

[Gurgi]

Hello, ladies.

I think it's time that I officially introduce myself. Screenname is Gurgi, but you can call me "SJ" if you'd like. Okay, so not many people do, but it IS a nickname

Hubby and I have been trying to conceive our first child for quite awhile, but I have a child from a previous relationship. Hopefully we'll have smoother sailing ahead.

I once peed all over my hand one morning taking a test. I was so tired and so out of it I didn't notice until it was too late

Allison... I am thinking about you!

I had a question for you guys, esp the ones who have done IVF...our embies are a week old today, which means that they should be beginning to implant any time..anyone experience any mild
(very mild) cramping ..not all the time just a couple of twinges today and then last night I had a nausea wave that could have been dinner. I kknow that you can have implantation bleeding and all, but I guess i am looking for any sign that my embies are doing their job!!!!! Thanks guys1

[helenabear]

Allison I am sorry for everything... my heart really does go out to you. I wish I could help take some of the pain away for you. Good luck to you next month. I really do have some good thoughts about you!

Rebecca, I am glad that the cramps are better now. A piece of advice, the moment you see twinges of blood for a cycle (I hope you don' have another, but just in case) take the Advil. It's so much easier to stay on top of the pain than to try to catch up.

Sue That one cracked me up so much that I told my DH the story! He loved it!

SJ, nice to "meet" you. Good luck with everything!

Had the hardest time finding a multivitamin with Vitamin A at less than 4000 IU....that's what my OB told me. I drove all over FWB to the health food stores looking for one. Maybe that's what tired me out because at 3:00 this afternoon, I became DEAD tired! I was like oh no....I've still got about 4 hours of work left. I just wanted to lie down in one of the booths and go to sleep. I did stop at Walmart and found me a Woman's One A Day vitamin with exactly what I need til my Prenatals arrive next week sometime. I hope I won't have to cut out my doubles at work...that's where my money is.

It's 11:00 and I'm VERY sleepy. I usually don't go to bed til 1am....not tonight though.

 

[AllyandJack]

Alison, I'm so sorry for your loss. I had 1 loss (ectopic) and it's crushing to have everything taken away from you.

Elaine, one week at a time! It's the only way to get through it. I think I was about 20 weeks before I stopped expecting blood everytime I went into the bathroom.

Meredith, I had cramping after my IVF transfer. It felt like menstrual cramps, but slightly different. Then, I started spotting. I assumed it was over and took a test so I could get the BFN and have a mudslide. But, it was positive. When do you test?

Sue, I always had a tendency to pee on seat while trying to get it into the Dixie Cup. Then, I'd sit down like an idiot and make a mess of myself. TTC is not easy in so many different ways.

 

[LisaB]

I am so sorry skuttle. I thought that maybe there was hope for those of us suffering through secondary infertility. Well I got my period yesterday. Since I am not doing the iui anymore I can't seem to remember when my period was last so I just check the boards and there it is Thanks guys

 

[7beasley]

Hi Meredith

I had cramping -- it was not real severe and it would come and go and only last for a few seconds -- when it would come it would feel like period cramps but it would not last long. That is normal!!!

I did not have any implanation bleeding either - and I had 2 implant! So don't be nervous if you don't see any blood.

You must be getting so excited to test -- when do you think you are going to test?

Remember to still take it as easy as you can - don't lift anything if you don't have to and still drink lots of water and eat pineapple!

Hi to all the other TTC girls - lots going on here lately - hope everyone is well!!

-Nicole

I'm not sure why you're confused. Just because you get a positive doesn't mean you'll carry the baby to term. From what I understand, this happens a lot this early. Most women, not TTC, just never know because they aren't testing SO early. My mistake.

I plan on calling my doctor today, but not sure if they'll want to see me or not. If I hadn't tested so early, I never would have known about the pregnancy. So far, it's just like a normal period...just a few days late. *sigh* I'm so mad at myself for testing so damn early. Never again. I'll just keep taking my OTC prenatals and, if we get lucky, wait until I'm at least one full week late (from the longest my period's ever been) to test. I don't want to go through this again. I know it's harder if you're further along, so I"m thankful that I at least didn't have to go through that. But once you get that BFP, it sure doesn't take long to start thinking about the future.

Allison, i am so sorry you are having to go through this. you and DH are in my thoughts and prayers. you are so right though- i think 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage- 1 in 5. and that doesn't count all the ones that went 'unnoticed' because the woman just thinks it is a 'late period' when in fact it isn't. it's only a small percentage of us TTC that are POAS crazy and would even know early. i can only imagine how many of those happen. i just hate you had to be one of them to experience that. that is one reason i tried to avoid testing early, but it is so hard to not do. after all you go through, you just want to know. so you are in my thoughts and i am thinking great things and baby dust for you.

I didn't get nausea until close to week 5 of my pregnancy (and has continued ever since ugh!). but i did have severe cramping and back pain starting on 7 days past ovulation/retrieval. i did a 5 day transfer- so the day they put the embryos in me, they were just about ready to implant, since they implant 7-10 days later. so 2 days after my transfer, i started feeling it- cramping- which was just in time with early implanation (at 7 days past o). the cramping was similar to AF cramps (which i get horrible ones, had endo). and back pain too. it was like AF, yet somehow just a slight bit different. the cramping continued for over a week for me actually. and because it felt ever so slightly like AF yet a little different, i knew it was a good sign. i hope it is good news for you! when is your beta? oh and i never had any implantation bleeding. i am 10.5 weeks now and have never had any sort of spotting or bleeding at all.

 

[Villain-lover]

I am going to test Tuesday. I figure they are basically at implantation stage now, as they were a week old yesterday. I am trying to hold out to test, but I don't want to be discouraged either. My beta is actually the 23rd of April. Work has been hard, as the children I work with are 1's and 2's. but my assistants have been good to me, not doing much of the usual cleaning and such. Dr. said lifting for diaper changes would be okay, but I have avoided it a lot! most of my kids, unless they have a BM just stand up to get their wet diaper changed, so that is good! Anyway, my stomach could also be a little funny from the antibiotic (z pack) that they had me start last friday befor the transfer "just in case." I am looking for symptoms all the time though..can't wait to test!!! I am more hormonal the last two days...hmmm
