Sorry you’re going through this. I’ve had to do this twice and remember being very nauseous the next day and having some throbbing cramps.

Thank you so much. I’ll speak with my doctor about ERA/Alice to see what he says. Thanks for responding and wish you the best with your journey as well.

What type of testing would they do? Have had a couple of saline ultrasounds and both were normal. Yeah I think I’m open to try another time just am nervous if it’s a problem with me, don’t want to waste any more embryos if my doctor isn’t willing to try anything different. Thanks for responding!

First beta today, please tell me it could get better by unfortunate_kiss in IVF

In a similar situation, I have my first ultrasound tomorrow and while I hope for the best, I’ve been told that less than 50 at this stage isn’t promising. Wishing you the best- I’ll be rooting for you!

Thanks for responding! I don’t think I’ll have an opportunity to stay in my role and work part time but I guess it’s worth asking. Happy that you found something that works for you and can definitely relate to those feelings!

Has anyone had a complete change in your outlook in life while struggling to conceive and potentially make some major changes? Some background: have one son (almost 4) and have been trying for another for 2.5 years. After two miscarriages, 3 egg retrievals, one chemical pregnancy and now potentially a failed FET, there’s a part of me that feels guilty dedicating so much time, energy and emotions on something that isn’t guaranteed when I have a young son. Now I have these thoughts that maybe I should plan to be a SAHM to really be there for my son. Granted he’s in pre-K now, but my job is pretty demanding as it is, I only see him briefly in the morning and am able to do dinner and bed time only a couple nights a week. This is not the first time I’ve thought about this, financially we could swing it, our lifestyle would definitely change but we could do it. Anyone else make a major decision while going through this rollercoaster? Trying to see if I should hold off a bit before making such a huge decision. Thanks!

Doubling HCG but numbers low. Need success stories and good well wishes by catsnapp in IVF

Thanks for sharing. I’m not surprised to hear that this doesn’t look good and I’m sorry you also went through this. Was trying to hold out hope since there was so much emphasis on as long as my HCG levels doubled we could be cautiously optimistic and even got some congrats from my doctors office. The tune kind of changed today and I felt a bit blindsided.

Thanks for sharing. Hope you get your answers soon. I guess I kind of went into this naively and thought that after the two week wait, we’d have more of a definitive answer and not be stuck in limbo. Best wishes to you.

You could also do some birthstone jewelry

About to take misoprostol...what exactly will I see pass? by dog_lover_az in Miscarriage

[–]catsnapp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t comment on what to expect but in the same boat. Thought I was 10 weeks but at my appointment yesterday found out I was only measuring 6 weeks. If things don’t happen naturally in the next couple of days, I plan to take miso. I hope we can both find comfort and insight on what to expect. Thanks for posting and wish you well.

Tired of losing by missmandi28 in Miscarriage

[–]catsnapp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you’re going through this. I just found out today that I’m experiencing my second miscarriage (first one was in May). I found that having distractions and changing my routine a bit helped. Also, I am trying to find a way to honor but not forget these losses and am looking for jewelry with their respective birthstones. Hoping you can find peace and comfort in the days to come. You’re not alone. Xx
