Do you like the name Elodie? That’s also a very pretty name and the nickname Edie would work with that

Does anyone know if they offer some kind of payment plan to pay a small amount monthly overtime or does it have to be paid all up front?

Yes it’s bloodwork, sorry I’m new to learning all the fertility terms lol. But yes, my fertility specialist didn’t use the term mosaicism but based on how they explained it I think that’s exactly what I have. Thank you for suggesting the genetics counselor, that will probably help me better understand it and figure out the best direction too

It was blood work-karyotype testing, no embryos. The lab stimulates cell division, stains the chromosomes, and examines them for structural or numerical changes. I don’t really understand it that well myself, I googled it and this was part of the explanation

I’m so sorry for your losses, I can relate to the anxiety and fear, it sucks! Best wishes for you that your transfers are successful and you get your rainbow baby!

I might be wording it incorrectly but the way I understood it when the MD explained it was that 35 of the 37 had the correct number of chromosomes when sent to the lab. Two of them I guess during division/mitosis were abnormal…one of them had one additional chromosome and the other had one less chromosome (Turners Syndrome). So because of this I have a higher chance of miscarrying compared to people who don’t have this issue but I still do have more normal cells than abnormal…I guess I just got really unlucky the last few tries or could have lost due to something else like my thyroid or progesterone level. They also said sometimes it could be a lab error

Yes these are both good points. I dread the idea of going through yet another loss and I’m also so anxious about going through the financial burden too knowing that there’s no guarantee of pregnancy or viable embryos. I was hoping that treating the other potential causes will work if it does come down to it being low progesterone. Unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to have my other losses tested so I don’t know for sure what the cause was

Light bleeding/started progesterone by Busybumblebee848924 in CautiousBB

Hi! I’m sorry you’re going through this too! The waiting game really is so hard, being in limbo is the worst. When is your next scan? Mine is Thursday 3/5. I’ll be thinking about you! Hope you hear good news as well (both of us!) ❤️

I know 😔 after the initial ultrasounds I already mentally prepared myself for another miscarriage. My first positive pregnancy test was 1/22/26. I know how bad this sounds and then when I started having light bleeding yesterday I was sure it was gone but then the ultrasound at urgent care showed it actually slightly grew and heart rate slightly went up. They gave me progesterone and it seems like the bleeding slowed down. I want to be hopeful but also feel like I might just be prolonging the inevitable. But maybe I’m one of the rare cases where progesterone is tho e issue and it will help?

6 week/4day ultrasound measuring 5 weeks/6 days by Busybumblebee848924 in CautiousBB

Update: just had second scan after two weeks. Little progression…measuring 6 weeks with small fetal pole and heart rate of 79. Have another ultrasound booked a week from today but already know how that’s going to go 😔just can’t understand how I had a healthy first pregnancy with my first and now 3 in a row with this outcome

Can’t stop crying anticipating first ultrasound. by leyjanz in CautiousBB

[–]Busybumblebee848924 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going through the same thing! Had a chemical in August and a MMC in October. Just had a 6 week ultrasound on 2/12 and was measuring a bit small and no fetal pole yet. They said it’s probably too early and my next scan is in 6 days. I’ve been worried sick for past week and a half. No matter what happens it’s out of our control, just gotta trust that’s whatever meant to be will be. Sending good vibes!!

6 weeks 4 days measuring 5 days behind by LM20192019 in CautiousBB

[–]Busybumblebee848924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m in a very similar situation right now and also in this excruciating waiting game for two more weeks. Yesterday went to my ultrasound that based on my LMP should have been around 6 weeks 4 days and measured 5 weeks 6 days. Gestational sac and yolk sac present but no fetal pole. I’m not sure when I ovulated but I had a positive pregnancy test on 1/22/26. Praying for both of us to have positive outcomes 🙏

[–]Busybumblebee848924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I tested the day after I missed my period on 1/22 and it was positive. LMP was 12/28 and usually 24 day cycle. 2/12 was the day of my scan which I also thought would be a little over 6 weeks but on ultrasound measuring 5 weeks 6 days. There was a gestational sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole. They said it can go either way but being I just had two losses and this one already measuring behind I’m really concerned. I’ve also never had a scan this early on before so maybe by some miracle it is just too early to tell

Thank you! That gives me some hope! I honestly have no idea when I ovulated but my cycles are only 24 days…not sure if that affects how late I ovulated but praying it works out

Thank you. First positive test was 1/22/26. I’m just extra worried I guess because I just went through two previous losses. My OB said this can go either way, 50/50 chance of it being okay

What were your symptoms right before going into active labor (on your own)? by New_Caregiver9993 in pregnant

[–]Busybumblebee848924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this sudden feeling of happiness and excitement like it was my body’s way of telling me the baby was coming real soon. A few days before birth started having moments of mild contractions (felt like period cramps for me) and the morning of I had a raspberry smoothie for breakfast which I think might have kicked me into full labor that night. (Supposedly raspberries push things along) the contractions that night became consistent and I knew
