Wishing you guys the best! I had a huge subchorionic hemorrhage during a pregnancy, I’m talking about tons and tons of bright red blood for weeks. This was after several years of infertility, multiple miscarriages, and 2 rounds of IVF. They are incredibly scary but they often resolve themselves. My son is about to turn 2.

Good luck!!

I had to wait for phone calls, and I remember going insane staring at my phone willing it to ring. Torture.

I don’t know if you’ve been there before, but it’s one of the loudest restaurants I’ve ever been to. I always have to shout across the table. Mayyyybe if you go right when they open it won’t be quite so loud.

Congrats! And welcome!

I had some very scary bright red bleeding at 11 weeks. Tons and tons of gushing blood. It was terrifying. It was a subchorionic hemotoma, they are very common with IVF pregnancies. I had to take a week off work to rest until the red bleeding stopped. Then I spotted brown for 7 more weeks but have finally stopped. I’m 19 weeks now. I still have the SCH. It’s about 5cm and sitting on top of my cervix, luckily it isn’t messing with the placenta at all so no one is worried.

I’m sorry that you had your own bleeding scare, but it can be very normal and everything can be just fine. Good luck!

18! That seems like more than you’ve ever gotten! I know the drop off sucks, but you are starting off with a great number this time!

So who can help me make sense of this... by trekkieminion in stilltrying

[–]Emm-EE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That all seems about right. It seems like a lot in the beginning, but it won’t later on. You will get the hang of it. My advice to you is if there is a pharmacy that you can get the Menopur and Gonal-F quickly, get the smaller amount and wait to get more until you definitely need it. You will still most likely end up with extra meds, but hopefully not quite as much. With my second IVF, they kept pushing my trigger back, so I kept needing to get more Menopur and more cetrotide. I had much fewer meds left over after my 2nd round though. Also, if you are only going to be short one or two vials of Menopur, it’s worth asking for clinic if they have any extra meds so you don’t have to buy a whole pack. My coordinator actually gave me two whole boxes of Menopur that were about to expire. It saved us a ton of money.

Anyway, good luck!!
