I was really upset that we were all cut off so abruptly with no warning!!!  I missed everyone so much!  I thought I might start a thread so that we could all get updated and caught up as to what is going on with everyone. 

I had yet another cancelled cycle. *sob, sniffle*  We meet with our RE tomorrow to go over our options.  I have been dubbed a "poor responder"  I will let you all know what I find out tomorrow.  Hopefully I will be back in the running soon!

wantsbaby2 sorry to hear that, my thoughts are with you on the next cycle!! Since my two miscarriages in March hen May I had been trying to find answers. I went for my yearly pap and after 3 different doctors wanting to help and had no answers this one said for me to go back to the fertility doctor in which I had an IUI last Nov which didn't take and because of the cost we thought we go back to trying on our own. Well she said he deals with other situations also. I thought why didn't the other doctors think to send me!! I went and he was upset that I had two miscarriages. I had questions about my lovenox because I had read some woman take heparin and instead of starting the shots when I had  + hpt some woman start the shots during ovulation. His plan for me was to keep taking my baby aspirin which I was stopping when I started lovenox and I was to start the shots 6 days after I am + for ovulation. Well this month I tested + for ovulation and started the shots and yesterday I tested a very faint + on hpt. I used early first response, my period isn't due till monday. If this pregnancy doestn' hold he is going to up the lovenox dose! I hope and pray this pregnancy holds!!

One and Only,
I wish and pray and hope things work out perfect for you this time.  I am so sorry you have suffered with these miscarriages.  No woman should ever have to go through that kind of pain!

I will say lots of prayers for you that this little bean has brought his/her super glue with them and plans on sticking around for awhile.  This could be the one for you One and Only.  Keep us posted!

Wantsbaby2 and fortyfour--- Thank you! I had blood drawn yesterday at 12dpo and my hcg is only 12, which she said is low, but it is very early so they are going to test it again on Monday, so I have to suffer all weekend wondering ok on Monday am I going to hear it doubled or I am going to loose this one too! I don't even want to be positive so I won't be so hurt, isn't that terrible getting pregnant is suppose to be the happiest time and so many woman get pregnant and spread the news and never have any problems which I am happy for those woman, I wouldn't wish what some of us are going through on anyone! They also doubled my lovenox from 40 mg twice a day to 80. Well I am so happy this site is back. My prayers are with everyone here!!!

WantsBaby2 sorry for your cancelled cycle.  This waiting and cancelling is terribly frustrating. 

OneandOnly I'm sending you lots of prayers and positve thoughts.

I BFPd on 29th June and was terribly scared of yet another m/c.  It looks like I was right to be scarred becoz on 26th July we saw an empty sac on the vaginal scan, 7 weeks post LMP.  Dr said to see him on Wednesday for another scan.  I have lost all hope and am really sorry I didn't wait at least three months after the early May m/c.

The good thing though is I wasn't overly excited about this BFP, I think I am better prepared for the possible loss this time around.

Debie,
I am sooo very sorry sweetie.  I feel so sad for you.  I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling right now.  You are a very strong and brave woman.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I wish there was something I could say or do to ease your pain.  Just know that we are all here for you if you need to talk or vent about any of this.

Debie -  I am so sorry for the empty sac.    That is a worry of mine on my us on the 10th.      I have had one m/c and its hard to put that experience out of your mind. 
It is cruel to get pg after all this work and then lose the baby.    What a roller coaster.

Debie- Sorry I understand how  you feel, my 2nd miscarriage the sac was empty and only measured 4 weeks when I was suppose to be 6. I am on my 4th pregnancy and today I go to see if my levels doubled since Friday. They did double my lovenox shots from 40 twice a day to 80 twice a day. I am so anxious to hear what my levels are. I really don't know how I feel because I can't seem to get excited about being pregnant. I wonder how many miscarriages do you have before you just become numb, I don't want to experience number 4, yet I know if this one doesn't follow through we will have to just try again!!!!

I want to add my sympathies to those of you who have experienced such great loss.  I too have felt the devestation of miscarriages. No words can describe that pain.  I am now absolutely terrified that that same thing may happen with this pregnancy.  It is so true and sad that this should be such a happy time but for those of us who have had to deal with the pain of m/c, it saddens the whole process. I'm now desperately hoping that this pregnancy works for us.  It was our one and only attempt and I can't pray or wish any harder that things progress smoothly. Every single waking moment is spent worrying, every trip to the bathroom is a scary process.  Just dreading looking down hoping there's no evidence of another loss.  I hate to add to the sadness here, just want to say I understand, I care VERY much and I wish everyone success and that happy feeling others feel.  I know there's nothing I can say to ease the pain being endured but I will say one more time that I care so much and my thoughts are with all of you.  Karen

I called my one sis that has been through all my pg stuff with  me.    She told me that  "hopefully" this baby will be ok.    Hopefully?    Little did she know that she put a dart in fear right into my heart.  Why did she say that? Does she sense something?  It made me crazy for about an hour.  I realize now that she wants to believe as much as me but is protecting herself also. 

Good wishes for all.

Well yesterday my hcg went from 12 on Friday to 71! So far they said everything seems to be going well! I go again on Wednesday to have one more level drawn. I want to be excited, yet as I've said I just can't. I think well if I just get to the 6 week ultra-sound and hear the heartbeat I will feel better, yet I miscarried after that the very first pregnancy, and the 2nd I had levels of 99.3 then 243 and still miscarried, the 3rd I did have low levels and lost it very early at 4 weeks! I think when the hell will I be able to feel at ease! If this pregnancy holds I will be nervous through-out my whole 9 months until I hold my baby in my arms!! I feel like a broken record! I am hoping since they doubled my lovenox dose, that will make the difference. Sorry for venting, I just want to be like most woman who become pregnant and be happy and enjoy their 9 months!! I know everyone here feels the way I do and I am so thankful I have this site to sit and pour out how I feel.

oneandonlymel....  congratulations!!!  i know how hard it is not to worry excessively.  just take a deep breath and enjoy the pregnancy one day at a time.  it is now out of your hands and worrying only stresses you and the baby.  i wish you peace and health during this pregnancy...  we all on here surely deserve that.
  good luck and congratulations!!
