July 07, 2008
Well despite my fertility probs like: Anovulatory cycles,progestrone defiancy,thin uterine linning, irregular periods, reccurent miscarriage, blood clotting prob, etc...
And after m/c 11/02 natural, natural full-term pregnancy...birth 12/04 that beat the odds(due to fertility probs),med m/c 11/07,med m/c 3/08, currently natural preg(that beat the odds was our ttc cycle off cuz of egg low quality & only 1 follicle...6/08 was suppose to be IUI but got moved to 7/08...but got preg naturaly!)& hope to stay & carry full-term due date 3/4/09. Been activaly ttcing w/dh since 12/06, clomid w/ovidrel 5 cycles,1 cycle of clomid w/5 vials of menopur 75iu(test to see how I respond to injectables)& ovidrel. IUI w/40 vials bravelle & 2 ovidrel...ect was "suppose to" be done...but on our cycle off from ttcing concieved even thought RE said low chances that month...guess he was wrong..lol..just hope this pregnancy sticks!!!! Pray for me everyone!
Well here's what has happened so far my LMP was 6/1/08, I had a beta test done 7/3/08 18dpo & the hcg levels were 2,068 & I have a u/s on 7/9/08, but I was curious if this level was high for a singleton pregnacy...& thought..is it possibly twins? I didn't use any meds this time...this cycle was suppose 2 be a ttc break...so this was a suprise pregnacy. Also I've had 3 m/c's in the past so...was worried if the hcg was even normal. Then I had an ER trip very late nite on 7/5/08(7/6/08 by the time I got my labs done & seen it was AM...lol) due 2 cramping...but I didn't m/c thank god!! I had my beta done again & it was 5,378 HCG & get this my u/s showed a singleton pregnancy & the baby measured @ 5w 4d!! So my dpo @ HCG 2,068 on 7/3/08 was really 22dpo not 18dpo..which is werid cuz my LMP was 6/1/08...so I'd ovulated on the 11th(7/11/08) not the 15th(7/15/08) which means instead of 14 days after LMP having ovulation I had 10days after LMP for ovulation?! So my dpo as of 7/6/08 is 25dpo & so my due date is changed & everything 3/4/09 instead of 3/8/09! Well it will be more confirmed @ my RE appt on 7/9/08 after another beta & u/s..& will keep u all posted! Was thinking is it possible to ovulate 10days after LMP?! Was that normal?! Since I'm a worry wart & paronid I wanted to be sure & I got some reassurence from some fellow TTCers on here :-) !
well funny thing about my current pregnancy really has to be the irony that I have been using fertility meds for the last 2 pregnancies that I m/c'd & this 1 was on no meds cuz I was suppose to take a break...cuz egg quality wasn't good enough..cuz I was gonna have an iui scheduled in 6/08 & it got moved to 7/08 instead...& than..BAM...suprise..we're pregnant!
I mean my RE had said that in July if my follicles are the right maturity size enough & my uterine lining is ok & other stuff like that...I can try to get pregnant & do a cycle of my meds & do my IUI procedure. I was told that if I tried in June I probaly wouldn't be successful...& it wouldn't be worth my money(I'm self-pay currently for everything)...since I have just only 1 follicle...which he thought was a cyst @ 1st in my exam...he said it was the same size it was b4 last cycle & hadn't changed...that if a follicle stops maturing sometimes it turns into a cyst...& it may or may not be reabsorbed by my body....but to make sure it wasn't a cyst they needed to do some blood work...so they did & I went home waiting for their call.....well the RE's office called me back to say it wasn't a cyst, but that is was a follicle that had stopped maturing for some reason & the tests say that follicle is producing estrogen so it may continue to mature & release an egg...but....they weren't sure...& that I should just hold off that cycle from IUI till July to see what chances I might stand for pregnacy then. My RE wanted me to have a few follicles...that arn't so immature to try to have a successful cycle w/meds & my IUI procedure. And well here I am now w/the odds beat & pregnant..lol! I'll update you all more later!
