Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Hi Pam, You're absolutely right--I'd much rather wait this out than lose my tube, like so many women on this board have sadly experienced. But, granted, the wait is Hell with metho. It's encouraging to hear about that woman who had the IV treatment and had the 3 kids. I think I know what website you're referring to. Is it www.repro-med.net? There's this guy, Dr. Beers, who is really into this antibody stuff. That is his site. Apparently alot of IVFs fail because of it too. I need to be patient and wait to see talk to the doctor. He'll consult with me after my retest comes back in about 3 weeks and my HCG is down to 4. How is everything on the adoption front? I may be right there with you! Thanks again, __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 a, I didn't realize that you were already at 11 weeks past metho. For some reason I thought you were only a couple weeks ahead of me. How exasperating to still be waiting after nearly 3 months. I hope and pray that your next results are a big fat zero and that af arrives soon. 53 is so close!!! My decline is slowing down after 4 weeks, just like your's did. Must be common. After you get af, do you still have to wait another 3 periods? Are you going to get an HSG? __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 The woman in my Resolve group who is looking into doing the IV's actually sees Dr Beers. Is he in Chicago? I think thats were she said she had to go. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 I am really glad your dr is monitoring you so well. The nurse at the e/r told me the same thing about pain. She told me we don't have as many nerves on the inside or we would feel everything that was going on. She said it could be one thing but you feel pain in another part. When my HCG got down to 200 I had severe pain. It wasn't just on one side though. I had to go to the e/r. They never found anything wrong. So hopefully you will be the sam way. Good luck at your u/s.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 , Thank you sweetie! And I just want to tell you that we don't know why God allows us to go through all of this. I have lost two babies myself, and believe it or not, this is the time in my life I have felt closest to God. We have been trying 5 years and I went through a real rough patch between 3 and 4. And I just told God exactly how I felt. Even when I was mad at Him. He doesn't mind. And even though that time lasted for several months, at the end God brought me peace that sustained me through my two losses. I am scared now, but God is with me. And no matter what happens, He is in control. Please don't lose sight of God, b/c He will never lose sight of you.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Oh Suzanne, I was so sorry to hear all that has been going on in your silence. I just assumed things were still on the right track since we haven't heard from you. Remember, we ARE here for you to vent and PLEASE don't wait so long to let us know that it is getting to be too much. The betas rising sounds very concerning. I am hoping and praying it is just an error in the test as your doctor thought, so please be sure to let us know when you get the results of the next one. Now, one other thing to mention, that I have hinted about on a few occasions. I'm not sure they ever talked to you about your pregnancy being a molar (or partial molar), but if your betas have risen again, please ask the doctor straight up if that is a possibility. The thing about molar pregnancies is, and the reason they check the betas until they are completely zero and then watch the zero for a period of time, is because if every last cell of a molar pregnancy is not removed/expelled or however it was terminated, it can enter the blood stream and implant elsewhere. This causes the body to continue to show an elevation in betas because of the type of cell that it is, but it is not necessarily implanted in the uterus. Most commonly these cells enter the bloodstream and end up in the lungs first and then the brain. In 1998, when I was suspected to have a molar pregnancy, my doctor did a D & C PRONTO! But, before the D & C, she took chest x-rays and took an analogous blood draw. The blood draw was to have my own blood should I need a transfusion in the D & C, because sometimes molar pregnancies D & C's can cause a lot of blood loss. A D & C done with a molar pregnancy is a VERY aggressive D & C for the purpose of insuring they have not left even one cell. The chest x- ray was to have a baseline. This is in case one cell should break free and was not removed, travelled through the blood stream and implanted in either the lungs or the brain it would continue to grow at a very rapid rate and need to be treated as a cancerous cell. Now, this is not to scare you by any means (but, I DO remember how scared I was when they shared all this information with me!!!). It is just to be sure you ask your OB if she has any suspicions of a molar or partial molar pregnancy and to see if she is taking the proper precautions!!Please keep me posted as to her response to this possibility! And, then for your sister-in-laws pregnancy. I understand your mixed emotions. I have a sister-in-law who sounds a lot like yours. She has been a terrible source of concern, worry and pain for our entire family because of her tendencies. As of now her two kids are ages 12 and 7 respectively, but there were definitely times in their young lives that we were sure one of us would be taking custody of one or both of these children for their own safety! We were actually hoping and praying we could take custody. But, after much rough road, many threats of removing the kids and trying not to completely alienate my dh's brother (whom, of course, we have no hard feelings for) and monitoring the children closely I think we are past that. Or at least we have our fingers crossed. But, I remember well, the scariest thing was when she kept saying she was going to have more children when these two were younger. Thank our lucky stars we held her off and it was only because my dh's father was a doctor and he forced her to come in for the timed release birth control you place under the skin under the upper arm that lasts for three months. And, my dh's sister worked for his father and she made it her personal mission to insure she got herself in without delay every three months!! This was the agreement or she would be removed from the family and no longer have her kids. So, I can only imagine, how I would feel with my situation what it is and then hearing she was pregnant. I would go ballistic!! I agree, it is just so unexplainable why woman who seem to be borderline parents and cause you to wonder why they ARE even parents, tend to get pregnant just like that! I mean, my sister-in-law even embarrassed everyone at a family wedding, when she asked me how I got my dh to marry me? I had no idea what she meant as my dh and I had dated 7 1/2 years before we married, and it was completely mutual out of love, and we didn't have children for another 7 years. Her point, was that she was letting everyone know she got pregnant just to get my brother-in-law to marry her so she could be part of the family! AHHHH! You can see, she is quite a gem and I will no longer be in her presence after so many years of ridiculous behavior and putting her kids at risk. She knows to be on her best behavior when she's around me (as many of the others!) or I will not hesitate to take action to get the kids out of harms way. So, there's my long-winded, affirmation of your feelings. Just go with it. It's okay to feel that way. Take some time to process your strongest emotions and then wish your brother good wishes and hope you never find yourself considering adopting his child because they are in danger with poor parenting skills. Now, please find an outlet to get your mind or the many things on your plate right now. At least, until your next beta draw. And, then be sure to remember to keep us posted and check in BEFORE the rope gets so short. Sending many hugs. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Suzanne, I can't believe that you are still going through all this!! When will it ever end? Please get some answers on the molar pregnancy as someone suggested and keep us updated. As for your brother's news, it may have happened any other time and it would not seem so bad but the fact that you or anyone else is going through what we are, it is just highlighting it all for us.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 I say my RE and surgeon on Tues. to find out the results of my lap/hyst at beginning of Apr. The RE said that the surgery looked to be successful (from the operative report). He said that the scar tissue was removed and also a small mass (YIKES - I immediately had myself dead and buried the hypocondriac that I am). He told my DH & I that I may not get my period until the beginning of June because the anesthesia messes up your system. He told us that if I don't bleed on my own in the next 2 weeks then I go on BCP's and then hopefully bleed. During the surgery the machine that tests the tubes broke down - lovely! So I am scheduled for a SHG and echovist on Jun 18 to check the lining and cavity and to ensure the tubes are OK. I then proceeded down the elevator to the surgeons office where he removed the IUD and told me that the " mass " was not a good term to use - it was just a wee bump, nothing to be concerned with (thank you God) and that the cavity was fine. He removed all the scar tissue and felt the lining was fine. He did not give me a measurement at all, but felt that the lining would be fine. He called himself the " hired Gun " to treat the AS and that I was done with him (for the time being???!!!). Anyway, I had massive cramps on the weekend, before the appt's and I told the DR's this but they seemed to think everything was normal. I am just worried that I've rescarred, and will never get my period. I am a Negative by character, and so good news doesn't come easily for me. I was prepared for the DR's to tell me that I was completely scarred shut and there was no hope - that was what I had prepared myself for. And then to get news that all is fine and that if the next test is OK, then we can fool around for 6 months!!! This was not in my plans, I have to readjust my whole future - not that I mind - although I hesitate to allow myself to think that way, just because I know that any number of things can go a different way. I guess when diagnosed with something like this that completely changes your life plans, you get protective of changing them back again. I'm probably not explaining things very well. Work is so hectic right now - I direct a Day Camp and this is obviously our busy season - I have to hire 85 staff and prepare our 100 acre site for our 1000 campers to arrive in 2 months - I can't deal with also thinking about getting pregnant as well - well I could but I don't want to let myself get hopeful. Anyway, a bit of ranting and raving from me - I will sit back and let happen what will happen. I pray that my period will come on it's own and that things will be ok.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 D, Thanks for your update. I think that the cramps you are having is a good sign. As long as your cervix is clear of scar, the period will eventually come I'm sure. Keep updating us and I'll be happy to hear of when you AF actually arrives.
