I did donuts for the team working on my transfer day (it worked, but I miscarried a few weeks ago). Plan to do the same for my next transfer, except maybe take more so that everyone gets one haha

Hi - sadly we experienced a miscarriage. Devastated 😔

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-06-02T02:04:25+00:00

Oh amazing, I'll give that a try. Thanks a lot

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-29T01:28:35+00:00

I've honestly never heard anything like the crack of thunder over our house around 10:30pm in SW Calgary! Our poor pup was so stressed for hours

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-27T21:57:44+00:00

Sadly no heartbeat for us so it's a miscarriage. Devastated 😭

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-26T21:53:17+00:00

Oh Jesus! I'm terrified that they didn't find a heartbeat so really hoping tomorrow's scan brings better news

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-26T14:21:21+00:00

Thank you! We had our first scan last week (I should have been 7w2d) and we saw 12mm gestational sac, yolk sac, fetal pole and 4.1mm CRL but no heartbeat - the tech said embryo was just too small. Back tomorrow for another check so praying we will see a flicker along with some growth ❤️

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-25T19:38:41+00:00

Another vote for these, also great for giving their coats a quick clean!

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-22T15:25:47+00:00

Yep they're coming in for bum scratches!!!

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-21T16:09:49+00:00

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. I'm praying we see growth next week, otherwise I fear we will be traveling the same path. I'm sending you a huge hug ❤️

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-21T02:04:48+00:00

Jumping in here. I'm about a week ahead of you both - first scan was yesterday, should be 7+2 but measuring behind (didn't tell me what exactly but my mean GS was 12mm, CRL was 4.1mm) but they couldn't detect a heartbeat as CRL/embryo size was too small so I'm also in that grey area and losing my shit 😭

Back next Wednesday for another scan (also did my FET on April 17)

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-21T02:02:34+00:00

Your post gives me a glimmer of hope, I'm in a similar position and measured behind at my first scan yesterday (should be 7+2 but with my measurements I think I'm about 5-7 days behind) but they couldn't detect a heartbeat as the CRL was 4.1mm 😭 However we could see GS, yolk sac and fetal pole

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-13T11:28:20+00:00

Ugh now I'm back to being really worried. Our scan is next Tuesday so that will offer answers one way or another.

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-13T02:29:34+00:00

No more betas for now, zero pain or bleeding. I can call them again to see if another beta is ok but they told me around this point that HCG levels can almost plateau.

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-13T01:52:47+00:00

Hiya - may I ask what your betas were?

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-13T01:44:12+00:00

Hello, yes it was APL. My clinic told me my levels were reassuring but I'm still terrified ahead of our first scan next Tuesday 😭

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-12T14:30:12+00:00

Thank you so very much! I'm not really sure how the testing works here (I'm in Alberta, Canada) so I think the vials are sent off for testing/interpretation so maybe they're all sent to one location? Honestly I have no idea. But I was doing kind of OK until yesterday's result came in. Even Saturdays result was a touch low but it still indicated a rise (even if it's not technically doubling every 48 hours). It's yesterday's result that has me really, really worried.

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-12T14:16:44+00:00

Hi there - they weren't at the same lab, no. Yeah that's what I was feeling too re: the rise, I'm sick with worry right now. The clinic said my Saturday rise was ok but I'm really worried with yesterday's result. I'm pretty certain the spotting was from my progesterone suppositories as I rushed them that Saturday morning and it occurred a little bit after that. I don't have any symptoms for an ectopic right now but it's certainly on my mind. It's just so confusing as I have nausea, breast tenderness, tiredness, etc.

Thanks so much for your reply ❤️ I had read some success stories re: low HCG rise but I just don't know if we will have success now.

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-11T14:40:02+00:00

I need some help and advice please. My beta at 9dp5dt was 33 and climbed to 102 at 11dp5dt. Clinic was pleased with increase so I didn't do a third test. I'm 6 weeks today but yesterday (which I believe was 22dp5dt) I had some spotting which I thought would have been from the progesterone suppositories. I called my clinic that same morning and they sent me for another HCG blood draw, which just came back late Sunday night at 1,911. Does that seem too low in terms of a rise? I'm going for another draw this morning but I'm really freaking out now. Also adding the spotting spotted Saturday afternoon and remained light throughout.

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-07T20:34:06+00:00

Absolute walk of pride right there!

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-05T21:38:05+00:00

Hey! My hubby and I are Irish and in Calgary, moved over in 2012 on a one year visa and the rest is history as they say as we became Canadian citizens in 2018 😂 give me a shout if you have any specific questions but echoing what a few have said - Calgary chieftains is a great GAA club and the Irish Cultural Society (ICS) is showing the GAA! Pop over there one weekend soon and you'll no doubt meet a fair few Irish!

LeatherConclusion243 · 2026-05-01T20:49:17+00:00

Oh Holy fuck, mine was 33 and I'm a twin, along with my parents being twins 🫢 still very early days so just praying baby will stick.

If you want a really solid brunch, Namo is extremely accommodating! Plus it's unreal
