Hi I am 5+2 weeks pregnant from ivf frozen embryo transfer. Had a mmc in feb also from ivf. I have been using the clear blue conception indicator and it still says 2-3 week from conception ie 4-5 weeks pg. I was wondering if anyone else has used these and if so when it went up to 3+ weeks. Had back ache and a few cramps at the weekend terrified I have had an other mmc.

thanks ladies, you are all lovely. I'm not too bad, have booked to see the Dr Raj Rai at the Zita West clinic to see what he makes of it all. He only does 1 day per month there but he's there in a couple of weeks so we don't have to wait too long. I'm not waiting for a 3rd before the NHS will look in to it. He's supposed to be very good?
Got the report from the scan yesterday and the sac was 15mm and I've read the yolk sac is always visible at 10mm so not looking good at all.

Cedar - we've not heard from you...hope you got away.

Please feel free to hope away for us (DH will be joining you) have to admit I'm fairly resigned to a bad outcome.

Hugs to all x

Well I am joining you..... , I started bleeding this morning, so ended up going for one of the horrible early scans. Today I am 6weeks 5days by dates, scan showed empty sack or 6weeks 1day, with no heartbeat. I have to go back again next week..... oh the fun of it all. Doc said 50-50 chance of it being ok.

Mowmi - I have empty sac at 6weeks and doc still gave me 50% chance of things being ok, so please try to keep some hope.

mowmi · 01/06/2009 18:09

oh Rainbow I'm so sorry it's so f*ing miserable isn't it?! When do you go back?
50/50 - maybe I'll try and muster a little bit for me and a big bit for you and cedar!
How you feeling?

rainbowdays · 01/06/2009 19:27

I am feeling kindof numb, dare not assume the best yet, but dare not dread the worst yet. Just hoping and wishing that the baby is there and is fine and it was the silly sonographer and machine that is wrong......!!!!! Even the scan pic says it is + or - 1 week and 3 days !!!!! So that is quite some margin for error. I will keep myself in a little bubble til next week. My next scan is on tues 9th.

Sorry you're going through this too Rainbow . Really hoping everything will be OK for you.

Thinking of you too Cedar and Mowmi.

I have my scan tomorrow and am terrified. Been staying away from the threads a bit to try not too think about it but doesn't really work.

mowmi · 02/06/2009 19:45

Hi Rainbow and Issy,

Hang in there ladies!
Best of luck for tomorrow Issy.
How you doing Rainbow?

I'm starting to spot and feel very bloated so I'm expecting things to be over in the next couple of days

mowmi · 03/06/2009 19:16

Rainbow - how you doing? Are you going to try and organise and earlier scan? Thinking of you. It's a horrible boat we're in right now.

Issy - Hope today went ok?

Issy42 · 03/06/2009 21:01

Hi everyone. My scan was good - one baby with a strong heartbeat and 11mm which is 1mm bigger than expected for dates.

Thinking of you all and hoping you all get good news at your next scans. Mowmi - I'm really bloated too - side effect of progesterone. Take care xxx.

mowmi · 03/06/2009 21:13

Issy - that's fabulous news!! very happy for you hun! Try and relax now - enjoy it!

I had a bit of pink yesterday, I think I've got period pains but my boobs are really sore and I tested this morning and still get 3+. This is giving me a tiny bit of hope but I'm mostly resigned to the fact I'll start bleeding properly soon.

Rainbow - thinking of you x

rainbowdays · 03/06/2009 21:29

Issy - really pleased to hear that you had a good scan, that is great news.

Mowmi - my cheapy hpt tests are still showing strong positives too. Let us hope we have miracles still inside.

I hope cedar is having a relaxing holiday.

Well is this only 3 of us left here in limbo land now..... let us keep our little bits of hope alive.

mowmi · 04/06/2009 15:45

Rainbow - keep going... I have hope for you!
Been to docs this morning and he got me in to see EPAU this afternoon.
I've seen the heart beat!
They've dated me 6+2 so it was just too early to see.
I'd totally written this off because I'd read that if there was not a yolk sac visible at 10mm then it wasn't viable (read this on a medical site too!)
Keeping everything crossed for you - how doing?

Issy42 · 04/06/2009 20:08

Fantastic news Mowmi .

rainbowdays · 05/06/2009 08:39

Mowmi - I am so happy for you that is fantastic news. congratulations, I knew at least one of us would be ok.

As for me, not such good news, I have a much lighter pregnancy test today, so I am now certain that the bleeding from the last few days was a natural m/c. I will have it confirmed on Tuesday at the scan.

I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy and hope that you have no more dramas with it!!!

Cedar - I am not sure if you are still on holiday or not, but wanted to say that I am thinking of you.

mowmi · 05/06/2009 12:12

Rainbow I'm so, so sorry - I'm at work and only popped on to see how you are.
Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.
Hope you have some better new soon.
Hugs to you

cedar12 · 07/06/2009 09:09

Gosh what a week everyone has had. We got back yesterday had a pretty good time lovely to sleep in my own bed last night.
So sorry thing arent going great Rainbowdays look after your self.
What great news mowmi what a roller coaster you have been on I hope you have a stress free pg from now on.
Issy great news about your scan good luck with the rest of your pg.
I have a scan tomorrow morning not holding up any hope really as they saw a dark area next to the sac last time which was probably bleeding. Dont feel pg and have all the same symptoms as last time I wish my body would get on with it.

Hi Cedar, glad you managed to have a nice break.
Have you been bleeding much? If they saw bleeding last time surely you'd have seen it by now?
For what it's worth I was absolutely adamant I was going to start bleeding on the day I went to the hospital...I only went for confirmation and to see if they could help me along to get it over with.

Hope you get some great news tomorrow x

Issy42 · 07/06/2009 19:23

Cedar and Rainbowdays - just wanted to wish you both good luck for your scans this weeks. Really hope you get better news.

rainbowdays · 07/06/2009 21:36

Cedar, glad the holiday was ok. Will be thinking of you tomorrow as you go for your scan, do come and let us know as soon as you can. My scan is on Tuesday, I just want to know now, either way, I need to know.

mowmi · 08/06/2009 07:07

Dear Rainbow and Cedar - I so hope you get the good news you deserve this week. Will be thinking of you both x

cedar12 · 08/06/2009 18:23

Still an empty sac. Thought I would be ok today but spent most of the morning crying dh has been great. Just so fed up we have been ttc for 4.5 years now. But on the up side we have 5 frozen embryos left will definatley take them to blastocyst next time. hopefully going to blastocyst we might get 1 or 2 really good ones to put back.

mowmi · 08/06/2009 19:03

Oh Cedar I'm so sorry - It's so rough that you have to go through this... maybe this one is just a little warm up for those lovely frosties!
Take care of yourself and keep in touch x

rainbowdays · 09/06/2009 15:50

Cedar - sorry to hear that. I am in the same boat with scan. last week sac measured 6w1d, today 5w2d, so they are thinking I will miscarry soon. I thought with all the bleeding and cramps it would have already happened, now they are checking for an ectopic in me too, so blood tests today and in 48 hours for me.

cedar12 · 09/06/2009 16:19

Sorry to hear it not good news for you either. Its horrid just waiting isnt it, My sac had got bigger but definatly nothing in it. I havent had any bleeding yet but lots of back ache on and off. I just wish my body would get on with it. Why do they think you might have an ectopic surely if they can see the sac they can tell where it is. I hope things get sorted for you soon and you can get to some sort of normality. I just want it over and done with now.
Mowmi I remember you saying you were going to the zita west clinic with it didnt work out. Did it take long to get an appointment? and does it cost much. I hope you dont mind me asking. Do you think her clinic is the best one to see.
