Thanks!

Well I had my post op today with my OBGYN. He says I had no endometriosis so it's a mystery why I have so much pain. He said he thinks I have a hostile uterus and its like toxic and killing my eggs. And if that's the case I will have to do IVF. So he said I need to be on birth control until the RE figures out what they're gonna do for me. So I'm gonna start it is soon as AF comes next week.

i keep having dreams of twin girls

Birth control makes a hostile uterus worse, you REALLY need a second opinion.

Thank you so much. Just doin' what I gotta do, kwim?  

Drugs are pretty much the same as with a fresh cycle, minus the stims. For FETs I start with BCP at CD 1 which continue for about 2-3 weeks, depending on my RE's schedule. I then take Lupron for a few weeks and at some point begin estradiol as well. About a week before transfer I stop Lupron and start progesterone injections. As for monitoring, I have three ultrasounds - a baseline and then two suppression checks. My ovaries are AWESOME at being lazy-ass chumps, so suppression has never been an issue for me. Others might require additional scans/blood work.

This is one of my old calendars.

ETA forgot that somewhere in there are oral steroids, antibiotics, baby aspirin, and valium for the transfer.

Got it! Thank you! I think I can handle that if need be. Stims/egg retrieval was the most unpleasant part for me... avoiding that is half the battle  

Hi ladies!

Well I'm not doing anything until I go see my RE in a month. My OBGYN was just talking possibilities if what could be happening to my eggs. He doesn't pretend to anything about how to treat it. But he says endometriosis can create a toxic uterine environment. But I have no idea. Somewhere my eggs are getting list.

Welcome back. How are you doing?

Quoting CLC:" <blockquote><b>Quoting jacesmom:</b>" Hi ladies!"</blockquote> Welcome back. How are you doing?"

Thanks. I'm okay... hanging in there. I can't believe that after 2 weeks (from the date I started spotting), I'm still bleeding. It's getting lighter but geez! How are you?

Hey!   Hope you're doing as well as can be! As for the bleeding, with my mc I had one massive bleed with HUGE clots, and a couple smaller ones over the next week after. But, it took my numbers forever to come down!

There's no more clots... there hasn't been for a few days. I hope it doesn't take forever for my numbers to come down. I was only 5 weeks along... My levels on 2/15 was 588, 2/17 was 575, 2/22 was 395. I'm going for another draw tomorrow. I hope my numbers are low. I POAS (OPK) and it was negative so I'm hoping that means my hcg levels are lower...

I was 6-7 weeks along (don't know exactly bc I wasn't TTC and didn't even know until I was miscarrying, scan showed sac measuring a little over 6 wks) and bled so bad when it started that my levels were down to 59 before I left the ER. It took almost a month to get to 9... It was ridiculous!

Quoting jacesmom:" Hi ladies!"

So good to have you back! *warm hugs*

Oh still sore and recovering from my unnecessary surgery a week ago. I was having a lot of pain so I figured it was my endometriosis but turns out I had none. Yuck bleeding for two weeks
