hope you get a miracle tink, prayers are with you but also my belighted ovem kept growing as well. and my number continued to rise, not double but rise much like yours did. i did finally miscarry on my own but i wasn't taking any meds. i admire your determination, but if you want to try again soon it might be better to go for the d&c so you can get your cycles back on track.
At over 9 weeks, there should not be empty sacs. HCG rising is due to the fact that they did implant and HCG is being secreted but seeing nothing is the biggest issue. You should be having a NT scan in 3 weeks but there has to be something there. I really don't get this. It doesn't make any sense.
Nothing about this pregnancy has started to make sense. I'm not sure what to think anymore. I've read the miracle stories where women with tilted uterus's find their baby perfectly fine after 10 -12 weeks. I know mine is reversed, but we'll see. No matter what, I'll wait it out. The worst that could be is what we're already figuring but I don't ever want to jump the gun (or the shark!!!)
See what is there come Friday. Funny they continue to very slowly grow, that makes no sense either. Either way I'm worrying myself death!
gosh Tink all the uncertainty must be driving you nuts, I hope everything turns out good and you get good news. Pray you have some sticky beans in there xx
A woman at my church went through a very similar situation with her twin boys years and years ago. Her doctors pushed for a D&C, but she adamantly refused and decided to pray and wait it out. Her boys are both alive and well today - one of them is getting married this summer!
I :pray: that you have a similar miracle on your hands!
tinks, can't wait for an update! When do you see your doctor today? I pray for a miracle, akin to what sweetpea said!
Today there was only 1mm growth, been moved to a "missed miscarriage", just waiting it out at this point.
Sorry, wish I had a miracle to announce. :_(
Next scan is Thursday if I make it. No signs yet. Meeting next month with a genetic doctor, going to get to the heart of the problem.
I am sorry to hear this Tinks :( (((HUGS)))
Are you going to do a D&C to see if they can figure out the cause of the miscarriage? When I had mine done they didn't do any testing and I wish I would have. Every RE after the D&C that I consulted with asked me for those results and since I didn't have them it was like starting from square one.
Whatever you decide I hope your heart can heal soon. :heart:

I am very sorry. I agree with michaela though to ask about if they can do testing with a D&C because you cannot if you wait it out. I'm sorry this has been managed this way for you. I don't think your clinic handled your case very well and I recommend you consult with another RE if you can.
Yeah it makes me so sad that they drug it out like that. That should have never happened and I agree I would also look for a new RE.

So sorry, Tinks.
Tinks im so sorry to hear this.....big hugs!
SO sorry tinks. :(
AWW im so sorry tink. prayers are with you and your family. we only lost one of our twins i cannot imagine the pain of lossing two at once. one was bad enough. hugs, you are a strong lady.
My heart breaks for you. I am so sorry.
I don't know if you are one that needs to know why to gain closure, but I am. If you feel strong enough to request this because you believe knowing why will help, then please ask or if you have someone with you, you might ask them to ask.
I am so, so sorry. :(
I'm so sorry tinks!
Oh, Tinks, I am heartbroken for you and your family. Hugs to you and your family.
:( Hope you are doing as well as possible. :heart:
Hi Ladies!
First thank you for all of your support and kind words. I'm still in limbo at this point. Over the weekend I lost what I am pretty sure was the bleed I had. As for the rest of the impending miscarriage ~ nothing. I go again to my ob for yet another ultrasound tomorrow. I hate that I cannot get closure at this point and I really want to get started on my recovery and next cycle. Short of divine intervention, nothing has changed in weeks.
I'm still going with Mass General, though I am calling around. Rhode Island's Women and Infants has a great rep too, but don't know if they do PGD. I really just want to get to the bottom of it all. I am also researching everything to possibly increase my egg quality. Seems hopeful from what other women post as their experiences while on supplements.
As for me, I've been living in a world of 70 degree weather, birds chirping, kids out playing and just when all seems right in the world, I get the "oh yeah, I'm just waiting to lose my twin boys" and reality hits me so hard again all I can do is cry. It totally sucks :( I will continue to post here, everyone has been great, but maybe not so often; I'm still in denial and trying not to let depression sneak in. Of course yesterday, while walking in to CVS I walk in right behind a very happy grandma toting her two newborn baby twin grandsons. That one hurt ~ a lot!
I hope everyone is doing well themselves, and please keep in touch!!! I hope to post better progress along the way for this next journey if I can ever get it started.
That does hurt. I'm so sorry. I'm crying for you. I hope you get the closure and clear answers you need. I also hope you can find somewhere comfortable for you to cycle again when you are ready.
oh hun so sorry to hear you're going through this, it must be really hard for you, I hope everything goes well and you get some closure xxx
Well, here we are, week 11 and nothing. Physically I'm doing fine, with the exception of the occasional cramps. Nothing productive though. :( I am meeting this week with Women and Infants in Rhodey to discuss a d&c only for the reasons that a) I want to test the tissue to try to determine what went wrong and b) I really need to get on with my life and learn how to have a better cycle.
I used to say I never saw my last miscarriage coming (and I didn't) and that this would be "the cycle" where I'd get my healthy twin boys, but wow, was I wrong! I never saw this happening either!!!
I now know after getting my records that my "bleed" was actually a subchorionic hematoma and from what I'm reading up on them, they can be the cause for up to 50% of miscarriages. Why no one told me this, is ticking me off!
I spoke last week with a genetic counselor at W&I and I got a much better vibe talking to her than MG. I will have my consultations with both and make the decision next month on who to go with. My OB uses W&I and I'm leaning now more towards them just after my conversation. I am allowing myself and hubby no less than 120 days to improve ourselves for a better cycle. I'm reading up on everything that *may help. My OB insists there's no concrete findings in all the fertility supplements out there, but I am having a hard time not accepting there's some truth to them after the women I've been talking to that have taken supplements and have gone on to have healthy babies.
Mentally, I still have my lost moments, but I'm getting better about it. I think I will feel so much better once I have my
closure on this cycle.
Hugs!
Tinks, thanks for the update, sorry about all of this :(
I hope you can get a boy or even twin boys again very soon...I think it's good that you are looking forward in a proactive manner!
I'm really starting to feel like the butt of a cruel joke. I go next week for a d&c and hopefully get to the bottom of this. The sick part is, I now look 3 months pregnant with twins and my youngest keeps talking to my tummy like her baby brothers are in there (we never told her, she just sees how big I am). I have to wear baggy clothes (and it's been in the 70's and 80's here ~ freak NE weather!) so I don't have to answer the question I wanted to joyously answer.
I have calls in to my ENT dr to get a starting point with my thyroid. I've been to a few health food places getting more info on supplements to start taking to try a healthy cycle and I've 75% changed my eating habits and working on hubby's. The good thing is, is he's totally on board with everything to getting healthier (he's been trying for a year now, this is a kick in the butt for him) and cycling again in a few months.
You are a strong woman Tinks. I admire your courage and persistence!Quote:

If you live in MA, can you receive insurance that will cover you for up to 6 cycles?
Well, it's officially over for me this cycle. I had my d & c Thursday and am on bed rest due to hemorrhaging. The pain has been unreal, this haas been the pregnancy from Hell! What started out so well ended horribly. Best I can hope now is that they can grab enough dna to determine what went wrong.
I am reading up on all supplements and foods to take that may improve eggs, please let me know any advice and successes!
Everyone has been great here, thank you for your support, it really means a lot.
90 to 150 days to improve seems like a lifetime to wait now.
Good luck to everyone and healthy babies!
We meet in 3 weeks with the hospital here to start fresh, that will make the time go by quicker! Lots of tests in our future. No more clinics fir us, experts only!
I am so sorry again. I hope you get the answers you are looking for.
I also hope you will have a successful H & H pregnancy with experts on your case.
I'm sorry again, and I'm glad we can be a source of support for you :)
You are great to have around, please stay in touch with us through your journey to have baby boys :)
Well, it's been 2 weeks and hopefully today I will have the dna test results I am hoping for!
I am jumping over to the swaying forums for a bit, I've drastically changed everything in mine and hubby's lives and so far, it's been working out well for us. :)
NOT GIVING UP!!!! I am hoping for another cycle in September or October depending on how things go with us and the genetic doctors.
Hope everyone is doing well, and again, thank you to everyone!!!
We'll get there!!!!
Did you find out today? I've been thinking of you. Again, so sorry. :(
Hoping you are feeling better yourself. :) Never stops hurting when you think of it. :(Quote:

I do have to go in for a check up in a week and have blood drawn cuz I can't stop bleeding. I've taken pills to control it, but I've hemorrhaged 3 times now. Just want it to be over already! They're now thinking I'm anemic. So we add iron to the mix, lol.
Very best of luck Tink will be thinking of you xx
hope you get some answers soon... sorry this has been so prolonged for you
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry you are continuing to physically suffer in the midst of everything. I hope things resolve soon. Did you hear anything?
You are right. It doesn't stop hurting. :( Thinking of you.
Well, my long awaited test results just came today. They were only able to grow one embryo (so I can only assume that this is true for his brother and the son from 2 years ago since he was slow to develop too). My results are Trisomy 10 which from what I'm reading online is attributed to advanced maternal age. Now I know. Closure.
I will continue to eat right and take my vitamins and supplements to hope to correct chromosomal abnormalities. I will not be returning to Mass General since she does not wish to do PGD (even though we know issues, I can't afford another miscarriage). I will be calling Women and Infants to meet with their genetic counselor. I can only assume that this will affect both boys and girls.
I am glad you got answers finally. Sorry the news wasn't good. :( I hope things work out, whichever path you take next. :hugs:
I'm glad you have answers now, but I'm sorry that it was something rare and due to advanced maternal age. I wish you a lot of luck and perfect on your next round. <3
My main focus is getting healthy and try to see if it's true about being able to produce better quality and quantity eggs. I'm pouring over other areas of the site now and adding to my agenda :)
Tinksmagic, I'm sorry about all your stress. Have you tried things like royal jelly to produce better quality eggs? Or do you ladies not do that in HT?Quote:
