Very Faint Lines Not Getting Darker...Evap. Lines? Chemical Pregnancy?

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:37:14 -0600

My lmp was 10/11. I usually have around a 35 day cycle. I started testing early and was very excited to see a faint line on 11/10 (five days before my expected AF). Since then I have tested several times and have gotten a faint line on almost all the tests.

AF was expected 10/15. I had a little bit of brown discharge when I wiped with fmu that day. Since then AF has not appeared. Last night while BDing I thought for sure that I had started cause I was very wet and slippery, but I hadn't.

What could all this mean? Is there still a chance that I'm pregnant?

I figured that if I was pregnant that my hpt lines would have gotten darker by now.

Estrogen levels--what is normal & how important is it?

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:43:47 -0600

I had my CD10 scan yesterday. I took Femara 5mg on CD3-CD7, and Gonal-F 37.5 IU starting on CD7, and this will be my 2nd IUI. I have 2-3 follicles that are still maturing (13mm, 11mm, 9mm). My E2 was 86. This is my 3rd cycle w/ injections, and no one has ever mentioned my E2 level until now.

My RE said that E2 level actually better this time than ever, and that even when I had 5 mature follicles (last cycle), my E2 level was only in the 80 range. Because of this, she suspects that I had lower quality eggs in the previous cycle (which ended w/ a chemical preg).

My Gonal-F dose was lowered from 75 to 37.5 this cycle, and during the u/s my RE said thought that this was a mediocre cycle (w/ just 2 follicles), and that I should go back to the higher dose of Gonal-F. But, after she got my E2, she changed her tune and said that this is the best cycle I’ve ever had, and that I should stick w/ the 37.5 dose (even though it’s slow going).

Is Estrogen that important to a successful cycle? What is a ‘normal’ E2 level? Could this be part of my infertility problem?

Trying after a chemical pregnancy....

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 18:42:34 -0600

Is it necessary to wait a month after a chemical pregnancy or can we try again right away? We tried for 16 months on our own and then did one round of Clomid/2 IUI's and got pregnant right away but it is resulting in a chemical pregnancy unfortunately. We are going to try Clomid/2 IUI's again but was curious if we would be able to do it as soon as my cycle starts.

how common are chemicals?

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 12:56:47 -0600

How common are chemical pregnancies really?

Should I be alarmed to have 3 in a row?

Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening?

period

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 06:55:24 -0600

Hiya, I will apologise in advance for the too much info thing. We are trying to conceive and am worried about my period.

I need help with my period and am too scared at the moment to go to the doctor as its probably nothing. MYself and my husband have been trying to conceive and so far we havent had any luck. I think I had a chemical pregnancy not last cycle but one before as I had a few positive tests but then got my period which was heavy and painful. Long story. anyway this cycle we tried and timed it again properly but didnt think it worked as I started spotting dark brown blotchy blood about three days before my period was due.I now have been bleeding dark red brown initially and very dark brown for 8 days straight now, I have never seen it this shade of brown its gross. Its been sort of chunky but has mainly consisted of alot of brown stringly looking clots in it. THe last 2 days its been light with many clots but my period only ever lasts 4 days and by day 3 I dont need a liner, HELP PLEASE!! Im scared! IM not sure if its nothing to worry about or should I go get it checked out.

chemical pregnancy

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 08:52:41 -0600

Hi,

I just had a chemical pregnancy. The month before the chemical pregnancy, I started to have spot on the 11th day after ovulation. So I was thinking maybe my progesterone is not good. Should I start to buy vitamin B6 and progesterone cream? what the dose I should use daily for b6?

Has anyone gotten a BFP after their 3rd IUI?

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:57:11 -0500

I'm CD 7 and on my way to a 3rd IUI. So I was just wondering if the 3rd IUI was a charm for anyone? I just had a chemical M/C this past weekend. So there's hope for fertilization with one open tube...I just need that STICKY GLUE to help it stick. I'm trying so hard to keep my hopes up that this 3rd one will be a charm.

Disappointing Chemical Miscarriage after 2IUI

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 12:29:31 -0500

Over the weekend I had a chemical miscarriage, is it really safe to immediately start up again? I know this is TMI but I had two thick palm sized clots come out with excessive bleeding. My RE said it's up to me but he would like to continue to a 3IUI. He wants to us bravelle instead of follistim because he wants to see more eggs. I'm just wondering lining wise (I'm usually at 10 or high by O time) is this visible?

desperate to know

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:33:21 -0500

I'm super impatient and have taken an early HPT (actually, three). I'm 12 dpo and I got a very very faint line (all three times at 10,11 and 12 dpo). Some friends who are mom veterans say it's a good sign but I've read so much about chemical pregnancies that I'm a little worried. This would be my first pregnancy and so I have no idea about how I must feel, especially after reading the many symptoms that a woman may or may not even feel! I also have some spotting and I'm trying not to get excited and think it's implantation spotting. I know I'm in the dreaded 2ww. Does anyone have any tips about how to get through these days?! should I feel worried?

Thanks in advance.

Can you get pregnant and carry to term with Hashimoto's thyroid disease?

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 09:58:56 -0500

I have been ttc for two years and have had two miscarriages.. one blighted ovum and one chemical pregnancy.

My tsh is around 2 so it's ok but my antithyroid antibody count is off the chart. I see a reproductive endocrinologist who is not concerned about the antibodies (he said that's just proof it is hashimoto's but won't effect fertility) but every thing i read says different.

have you or do you know any one who has hashimoto's and had a successful pregnancy?

Sperm morphology and chromosonal abnormalities

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 07:27:28 -0500

My husband has 1% normal sperm. We do not know the cause of this, but about 10 years ago he was on very high dose interferon for a year.

We never expected to get pregnant on our own, but still wanted to try, so I take my BBT daily and on our 4th month trying (Sept.) I got my first positive and it was confirmed by a blood test at the Drs. The hormones were low though...23. I started bleeding and having heavy cramps yesterday. I believe it was a chemical pregnancy and the Dr will confirm it tomorrow. Could my husbands sperm issues be causing this? Will this happen continuously? Is abnormal morphology linked with chromosonal issues or DNA being messed up in the sperm?

Positive and Negative HPT's

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 15:37:29 -0500

Please Help...Last friday I had a faint positive then Monday I had a very dark positive yesterday and Today they were negative...completely blank as far as the test line. Am I pregnant or not...is maybe the HCG level not high enough. I don't know exactly how late I am...I didn't really keep track but last month I was a little late but can't remember how late. What should I do...

I think I had a chemical = (

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:10:15 -0500

This was my first cycle on Clomid. AF was due Monday according to my usual luteal phase but never showed and since I was on clomid I decided to wait a few days since I heard that it could increase the luteal phase a by few days. I have never been one to have bad cramps during AF but starting Monday morning, I started cramping on and off and it got more severe into Tuesday and finally Tuesday night I started bleeding. Yesterday, the bleeding was a lot heavier than it has been over the past year and I was having very painful cramps but again being on Clomid I didnt think anything of it. Late last night I got so sick, I was throwing up and my stomach was messed up really bad. I barely made it to work today and when my boss took one look at me he sent me home.

I took a test when I got home and there was VERY faint pink line. You had to squint to see it. I tried to take a pic of it but its so light my camera wont pick it up. I tested with a digital and it said NOT PREGNANT. I would have been 16DPO.

I am still cramping but not as bad as yesterday and just feel totally washed out.

I never had BW done. Would it be a waste of time to go now? Should I go to the doc now or is it too late to confirm anything? I would have been 4 weeks today and since AF was only 2 days late, is it necessary? = (

My HCG Beta Results Are In and It's Not Looking Good...

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:17:38 -0500

Hey guys, I'm a little down right now...

I went in this morning for my beta and the numbers came back at 43.9. The nurse told me that at 14dpo, they would like to see the numbers at least at 50.

So it's not looking good. I will repeat a blood test on Saturday but this could be a sign of a chemical.

Dr's Q or Eva what are your opinions on my hcg number? Was there anyone that started with a low number such as mine?
