Congrats Memar and loveEZ, amazing news!

MissLiss that sounds pretty promising! Im not a beta expert (I can do any lining questions though 🙄) but as long as it increases substantially, thats good no? Yeah I know what you mean about beta hell, it seems like as soon as youve passed one hurdle another one magically appears out of thin air...

Tatsi and IreneT sorry youre having the spotting! Ive been told repeatedly that it happens a lot during the first trimester so hopefully it is juste the progesterone or something

AFM Im plainfullly trying to survive the 2WW with the added frustration of being stuck at home with nothing to take my mind off it! Im going to try and not test before 8dp5dt. My beta will be the following day (April 1, yep foolss day, not sure what to make of that)

[Skroeze]

So an update from me.....still hanging out in low beta limbo

12dp5dt- 9
14dp5DT- 16
20dp5DT- 112

Repeat again today. Possible ultrasound tomorrow.
No bleeding even with no PIO and a last progesterone of 6.
I'm losing my mind, I just want to know if this embryo is gonna stay for long haul.

Congrats to the bfp! And sorry to those who are cancelled or bfns.

Hi everyone I’m almost 7 weeks and trying to figure out how I’m going to have my ultrasound since my clinic is closed.they said they are working on it and will get back to me 

[IreneT]

Nicky123, I got my family doctor to schedule me an ultrasound at the hospital. I had also made one at the clinic in case that didnt work, but they just called to cancel it, so I hope the hospital doesnt also cancel.

Miscarriage today. Started bleeding really heavy at about 730 this morning. I would have been 6w. We have one embaby left frozen for when this covid passes.

Good luck to everyone!

[IreneT]

I'm so so sorry, Skroeze. That is terrible

[Tarsette]

Really sorry to hear that Skroeze...take the time to heal and good luck with the rest of your IVF journey.

[Memar]

So sorry about this news.

So many updates on here! Congrats to all of you with BFPs, my hearts with you in beta hell and those BFNs.

Im still rooting for this little fighter.

13dp5dt- 57
15dp5dt - 157!!

Im so hopeful now it hurts.
Another beta on Monday at 18dp5dt fingers crossed the bean keeps sprouting!

Skroeze, Sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.
Tarsette - uncertainty of 2ww is terrible! Try not to test too early, otherwise you will end up peeing on the sticks 2 times a day.

AFM - I had my first ultrasound today at 7w1d. Everything looks good: strong heartbeat and measurements are adequate to my term. I was told to schedule next ultrasound between 11 to 13 weeks only. Due to Covid-19 , my clinic will be closed starting tomorrow until further notice.So I advised to book next ultrasound with different clinic that stays opened. 

 

I was told to choose whether I want to do regular screening  EFTS (Enhanced First Trimester Screening) which is covered by OHIP or to pay for Harmony or Panorama blood screening. I transferred PGS normal embryo , it means that it has already been tested for all chromosomal abnormalities.  Does it worth do Harmony or Panorama test in this case?

Hi Tatsi,

I asked my fertility clinic if I should still do the testing even if my embryos were PGS tested. My doc said absolutely yes as PGS testing is pretty accurate but not perfect. I have my first ultrasound next Monday (so just over a week).

My ultrasound was today. Im 7w3d and measuring 7w2d with a heartrate of 153. There is a very small subchorionic hematoma. Still spotting pink basically every day. Feeling very happy!

Thanks for sharing your clinic response. I decided to process with regular testing covered by Ohip. I case of issues found at my scan or blood work I will proceed with nipt.

Wish you good news on Monday!

Great news! Congratulations! Does your clinic want to see you for 9 weeks US or just regular 11-13 weeks scan?

My clinic is across the country, so they don't give me any ultrasounds. I get them through my family doctor. I probably won't get another one till 20 weeks. With my son, I went to a private ultrasound place around 10 weeks just to have some reassurance, but they'll probably be closed now, so I'll probably just have to rely on the doppler at my doctor to see if all is well.

You should probably have NT ultrasound which is normally done around 12 weeks plus bloodwork. Ask your family doctor.

[IreneT]

I'll ask her, Tatsi

Hi everyone
An update on me:
Low betas but steadily doubled (34,57,157,614)
Had my first ultrasound and my RE adjusted my due date and thinks late implantation occurred. Supposed to be about 6+2 but measuring 5+4 with 8mm gest sac but fetal pole and yolk sac were iffy and hard to get an image of.

Still so worried this isnt going to work out and Ive got a blighted ovum or something going on. I was so hopeful to see my little ones heartbeat flickering away. I have no clue how Im supposed to wait an entire week to check again. Any advice would be so appreciated.

[IreneT]

Hi Missliss906. I have no advice for you because I don't know much about your situation, but I do wish you all the best. Hugs
