Hey Carla!! Hang in there!! It is so hard to be patient and not get frustrated every month. I'm glad I had the HSG, I was a basket case waiting to have it, but I'm glad to know now. I feel myself slipping into that angry/bitter stage and I don't want to be that person. I'm just not ready to give up yet. I want a baby too badly to give up. Let us know if you decide on the HSG. We are here for you and I'll be cheering you on!!!
Jozzy, thanks for always being so positive. I just know that your turn is right around the corner.
Shannon, how are you doing? Hang in there!!! Hope you are well.
To all our other sept ladies, best wishes. Bensmom, if you're still checking in, I would love an update!!!
Glad to hear that you have recovered well. Physically - but mentally I know it will take some time. Like you said, atleast you have gotten pregnant twice. I hope the next one is it for you. I can tell you want it so badly. I"m not sure where my thoughts are with it these days. I was getting so emtional for the first 4 months that I just couldn't take it and I stopped taking temps, using OPK's and all. I just write down every month when I start, and I make sure that I start again the next month. I used the Ovulation calendars to figure out when I supposed to ovulate and I watch for the CM. But that about it. I still take my vitamins. I'm just not sure what to think anymore. I know I'm older, so I can understand, but I always say to myself, there are plenty of ladies out there that have had healthy babies at my age, so I stay positive. I'm just waiting. Once a year goes by I'm not sure how I'll feel then. Maybe in the next couple of months I should atleast do the HSG test to ensure my tubes are open. In a way I'm scared to even know that too! I think I'm scared it just not going to happen, so I'm trying to go easy on myself so I don't loose it!
Jozzy, hang in there. Your tubes are open, so it will happen for ya. I just know it!

Hi Carla! I'm doing fine, I've been keeping busy this week. I had my last blood draw today. I waited until the end of the week so the numbers would be zero. I tested BFN on tuesday, but wanted to wait as long as possible so I didn't have to go back again. Yes, a short break from ttc is what I need. I want this to happen so badly it hurts. Maybe that's why it's not happening for me. I think the losses make it worse because my hopes go up so high and then I really get low and depressed because then you worry if it's a regular M/C or an ectopic. But then at the same time I'm thankful I even got pregnant (twice), even if the joy was short lived. I pray God will bless me with one that sticks!!!! Not just me but all of us.
Thank you Carla and all of you wonderful ladies, just for being here for me to chat with. I hope you all have great weekends.
Hang in there. Glad to hear you didn't have to take the metho shot. So sorry to hear the news for you once again. Sounds like taking a short break will be good for you. The good thing is that your are super fertile! and you know you can get pregnant! I just wish you didn't have to go through so many experiences along the way, just because you are so fertile. I know it must be hard. I can't even image! I've never been in your shoes, so I can't even begin to feel what you must be feeling. Hang in there. Its going to happen :-)

Hi Carla, I'm so glad you are all moved and doing well. It's always nice when life gets back to normal! It's really good to "hear" from you!
Shannon, thanks for thinking of me. You are such a nice person.
I had my HCG drawn this morning and it's down to 13. This is a relief b/c if it had stayed around 50 I would have had to have the metho shot. My bleeding started back last night so I guess this is the end of it. My doctor said that it was just another early M/C and he doubted that it was ectopic. He reminded me to take a few months to rest emotionally and physically and when I do get pregnant again to take the Prometrium. I am just so relieved I didn't have to have the shot!!! I just wish this bleeding would stop!! Sorry, I know that's just TMI. The doc did say he was a little concerned about me becoming anemic so he would check that (blood count) with my next HCG if I thought I needed to. I will wait until friday to go back for blood work.
Well, I'm going to watch some TV with DH. Jozzy, I hope you are doing well. Thanks for your nice words. You are so kind. I wish all of you ladies the best. I will still be on here, probably daily, to check on everyone's progress, but I'm definitely taking a break from TTC for a short while. I will continue to keep each one of you in my thoughts and prayers.

oh my gosh! I missed a bunch! We have been busy moving! So I haven't been on here. We aren now officially all moved in and all is well.
Wow, Tommi! You did it again! Well, if this one isn't the one, I have a feeling the ONE is coming! I know you must be a nerviou wreck! I hope all if well for you.
As for me, I have no idea. I've kinda given up. I'm probably just too old for this. I don't monitor or do anything anymore. I am still taking Vitex, vit E and B-13, and folic acid. But nothing for me :-(. I had AF on 4/23. But I don't even know if I ovulated or anything. Like I said, I don't even keep up with it anymore...

Shannon and Jozzy, thank you so very much. My number from this morning is 52. This is all very strange. I was ready to take the metho shot this afternoon and the doctor called and said he wanted to see how my numbers do on monday. (because they doubled since wednesday) My bleeding has stopped-now just spotting but I'm so confused as to what is going on. He said if my numbers stall out over the weekend that we would do the metho shot then. At this point I should be able to see a sac in the uterus, not have numbers this low. Oh well, I'm just so afraid it's in my only good tube. It's over for me if it is. IVF is not an option. I want this heavy hearted feeling to go away.
Shannon, it is possible that progesterone is a factor and they gave me a RX for Prometrium for the next time I get pregnant. They said not to take it for now with this pregnancy. I have to work all weekend, so I probably won't be on here but I will let you know how it goes on monday. Have a wonderful weekend. God bless ladies, Tommi

Ok ladies. My doctor called me himself this morning and said that HCG from yesterday is 27, so up from 20 on monday. He wants me to repeat HCG tomorrow at 8:15. They will run it stat and if it has gone up again, they want me to go to the hospital for the metho shot!!! I know it has gone up b/c my hpt this morning is much darker. Have I mentioned how much this stinks!! I asked him if there was anyway of knowing for sure whether it's in my tube or uterus and he said the only way was a D@C to check to see if there were embryonic cells present. He suggested that we not do a D@C because with any procedure like that there is a risk of scar tissue and he wants to go the least invasive route possible to protect my fertility.
I really don't know what to think. I'm not having any pain. He said even if it is ectopic we have a some time before it ruptures. He says that b/c my ultrasound on monday was normal. He also said there is a possibility that it is an abnormal uterine pregnancy. I just request anyone who wants to pray for me and my family to please do so.
