Chemical (sensitive)

I'm absolutely devastated last Saturday was the first time in nearly 3 years that I've finally seen a line on a test that line was our future in that moment.

I've literally just woken up to blood soaked jarmies . . . Im guessing there is absolutely no chance of anything surviving that really is there. So I'm guessing our second FET cycle ended with a chemical which I was absolutely worried would happen. I knew it would be too good to be true.

Hi. So sorry to hear this and hop3 you have plenty o suppoty. Take time to recover, then hopefully you can try again. Ask about the use of low dose soluble aspirin an£ ensure your Fallopian tubes are patent, so any lubrication in the tubes can upse ade eloping embryo. Hope you don’t have to wait too long for your long awaited little family. Diane

Hi

I’m sorry to hear

Have you had an update?

I know bleeds don’t necessarily mean it’s over.

I had one at 7 weeks that was quite a bit

Hope everything is ok xx

Oh love that is so jarring! Especially after such a long wait. I would say it definitely doesn't mean it's over - I had a few fairly big bleeds at 5.5 weeks and 7 weeks, as well as several weeks of constant spotting. I was convinced I was miscarrying the first time as it was coming out of me on the toilet (tmi) and was crying on my way home from work in a taxi. Had a scan the next day and all was miraculously fine.

I don't want to give false hope but bleeding at any stage doesn't necessarily mean it's over. Have you tested again or spoken to the clinic?

Sending positive thoughts to you 🤞🏼

Hi lovely, I'm so sorry. Have you spoken to your clinic? Please continue your meds for now as bleeding is very common in ivf pregnancies. I had bleeding at 6 weeks and 5 days and thought it was all over based on past experience but it was a hematoma and I'm now 20 weeks pregnant. I really hope all is ok for you xx

Hi all yeah its definitely over I spoke with the hospital and they told me to take another test this morning which I have and it's now negative which is disappointing. But goes to show my true feelings I wasnt sure about starting this journey but clearly this has just proved that clearly i do. Thankyou for your hope guys! Let's hope that it's not going to keep happening i do keep thinking how grateful I am I had 5 days of a dream this time!

Thankyou so much! Is it irritating/normal I just want to crack on knowing I can get a line on the test.

It's not irritating at all and completely normal. After my first miscarriage we went into another fet cycle pretty much straight away. You do whatever feels right for you and if you're doing this with a partner, what feels right for them too. X

I know for a fact my husband will want to get back into it. I think he was more excited than me when I told him it was finally positive onwards and upwards!

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I had a chemical recently and it’s just so cruel, really is one extreme to the other. Take your time.

Sending love x

I had read up on them and part of me just knew it was almost too good to be true! I hope your looking after yourself! Its bloody aweful to have it snatched away

I had a chemical on my 4th transfer and took it as a positive (well tried to take the positive from it) that something happened. Then for me just moving onto next transfer asap was also how I felt. Good luck 🤞🏼

Surprisingly the more I think about it the more I am thankful for it because as you say it was something and I would always always rather have something over nothing everytime! I'm glad I'm not the only one who is like right come on let's do this.

I had 3 BFN and was beginning to think that nothing was ever going to happen. So like you say it was something, as horrid as it was to go through. Moving to next transfer was always my way to get through and get what I wanted. The BFNs are hard, but what’s the alternative?!

That's the thing I don't give up easily! It took me 5 goes to pass my driving test! So come on we can do this!

So sorry to hear this Lbb24. Hope you've had time to recover from it all. I think I'm currently going through a chemical as well - my pregnancy tests are getting lighter and lighter and today's was a squinter. Can I ask how long after your FET, you had your bleed? And also were you on progesterone pessaries/injections?

Lbb24 in reply toSu87

Ahhh I'm so sorry your also going through this . . . I was on a natural cycle so absolutely nothing prior to the FET or after . . which I was worried about as i didnt think my lining would be thick enough or whatever but the nurse said my lining was more than thick . . .it clearly worked just didn't work well enough and I found our I was pregnant then 5 days after started bleeding
