Went to my 6w5d ultrasound! Baby is measuring two days ahead at 7 weeks with a 131 heartbeat. The second embryo stopped growing at 4 weeks, which is emotionally complicated, but we are so thrilled that one made it.

Went in for our 12wk ultrasound and a fibroid was found. No fibroid was seen on the 8wk ultrasound or when I got a D&C prior to our transfer. I'm curious if my IVF community has had a sudden fibroid appear? I can only find info for folks who have had fibroids before

I am entering my 5th week (4 weeks, 6 days) and have had 2 betas but no ultrasounds yet. Betas were great at 309 and 812, 48 hours apart. And I’ve been feeling nauseous for the past 5 days or so. But very suddenly the nausea just stopped point blank yesterday and today. I don’t have any other symptoms, no bleeding or cramping. But I’m on estradiol 3x and PIO and am terrified I’m experiencing a silent goodbye. Can someone help me stop spiraling? Is there a way to check?

We went for our 7 week scan today to confirm pregnancy after a successful first transfer (couldn’t believe our luck to finally be on the right side of statistics after so many months of nothing). We should be 7 weeks 2 days. We were scanned first by our nurse who said it was small, she pointed out what she thought was a bit of flickering but then said she wanted a second opinion. We were scanned by the consultant who advised baby is only measuring 5 weeks 5 days. She confirmed a yoke sac and fetal pole. But said she couldn’t see a heartbeat. I thought I saw a little bit of flickering again but I’m not convinced and probably just wishing to see it. The consultant started by sounded positive saying it was good to see what she could see so far but by the end of the scan she was saying things about it being possible the embryo was never going to be viable and we don’t really know in ivf without genetic testing (which we didn’t have). When we left the clinic they both just looked so somber and it felt like bad news.

They have asked us to come back next week and now I’m in a spiralling hole. Can anyone share success stories in a similar situation or am I just kidding myself and better off preparing for the worst?

I feel like in ivf to be measuring 11 days behind is just not possible even if embryo implanted a little slower. I had a clear positive test at 12 days post transfer and had very high hcg readings on a blood test (over 1300 at about 4.5 weeks).

We had a loss at 6 weeks nearly 2 yrs ago and I feel like it’s history repeating itself all over again. I just don’t even know if I’m fooling myself holding out hope for next week.

7w heavy cramps and bleeding. Called my doctor and he said to add progesterone and lie down with my legs up, but I can’t get there because the cramps are so bad they’re giving my constipated self diarrhea and vomiting. Did anyone have this much pain and keep their pregnancy, or does this sound like a miscarriage?

I go in for my first ultrasound this Thursday where I’ll be 6w4d. This is my second pregnancy, I had a natural pregnancy that resulted in a missed miscarriage at 7 weeks. I’m terrified of getting the same results at my ultrasound this week.

I am 3 days past frozen embryo transfer. I have been on prometrium twice a day for 7 days now. Today I have been super nauseous, irritable at times, mood swings, but mostly anxious. I feel riddled with anxiety and feel like I could puke or cry at any given moment! I am hungry though and tolerating food I just get waves of nausea. I'm assuming it's from the prometrium but it just started today (day 7 of the prometrium, day 3 post FET). Against my better judgment I took a pregnancy test at home and it was negative. I know it could be too early, right? Maybe it's just the meds or maybe it's pregnancy symptoms? I wanted to see if anyone experienced the same and if prometrium (progesterone vaginal pills) caused these symptoms even though I have felt fine on them up until today?

I’m 7 weeks by dates but measuring closer to 6 weeks on ultrasound. A heartbeat was seen at 104 bpm and both the radiologist and my doctor said it looks fine and just scheduled a follow-up scan. Still, being a week behind with that heart rate is stressing me out has anyone had a similar experience?

Hello all,

I am 37 years old. I have done two eggs retrievals back in early 2024. Each ER produced 1 5AA euploid embryo. I decided to wait on transfer and bring my BMI down - I lost 60 pounds. Currently weigh 255ib. My bmi is 38.8. I also have chronic endomitritis that was discovered during a hysteroscopy and vaginismus - meaning I have to be under anesthesia for everything including my transfers.

We did a hysteroscopy in November , I had fibroids and polyps clear and even though I had completed a round of doxycycline the biopsy still shows the endomitritis present. So we did another round of ciproflaxen and metronidazole. Unfortunately we couldn’t recheck it because that would mean another scheduled surgery under anesthesia.

I just did my transfer on Thursday at 3pm on a medicated cycle and I’ve been doing at home tests since day 4 and they’re all coming out negative. I’m starting to think it failed. Anyone out there who had negative tests on day 6 still with zero faint lines in sight?

I also have zero symptoms. Even from the progesterone. I have had very mild cramping.

I am currently on 6mg of estrogen a day, baby aspirin and the PIO shots.

Has anyone had success with chronic endomitritis?

Thank you so much and sorry for the long post that’s all over the place.

I just took a test this morning at 5DPT on a first response digital test and got a negative :( I’ve been testing my hormones using Inito and it looks like this today Pdg: 40 (I think this is the maximum) E3G - 90 Lh -.68 Fsh - .68

yesterday: Pdg - 20 E3G - 131 Lh - .11 Fsh - .07

I am on progesterone suppositories for the last 5 days. I also know that my clinic probably used my 3AA euploid embryo.

Does this mean I am out? What are the chances for me? Should I test tomorrow?

Just had a fet with day5 blastocyst. A little tired and minor cramping right after. Not sure if the tiredness is due to progesterone insert this morning, cramping from catheter insert? What are your feelings in terms of physical change right after fet?

I’m 9 dpt today and have been testing positive since 4 or 5 dpt. today I started having some brown spotting. I’ve been having cramping since my transfer and it has increased some today, I’d still describe it as mild. My nurse thinks this could all be normal. First beta isn’t until 11 dpt. Anyone else with similar spotting/cramping?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for clarity because I’m getting mixed messages and don’t want false hope.

I’m in a modified natural FET. Today I had a positive hCG (~50), but my progesterone is very low (~1.7 ng/mL), and I’ve had 4 days of heavy bleeding that feels like a real period, not spotting.

Given this, does this most likely represent a biochemical pregnancy?

My nurse advised me to continue progesterone and estrace but was vague about viability. I briefly stopped meds when the heavy bleeding started after being told “I’m so sorry” with no further guidance, and now I’m worried I made the wrong assumption — though from what I understand, progesterone at this level is in the menstrual range and heavy bleeding usually means the lining has shed.

I’m continuing meds as instructed, but I’d appreciate an honest, physiology-based perspective from others who’ve experienced this.

Thank you

Due to my husband’s work schedule, I’m going in tomorrow instead of next week for a second ultrasound at 7w5d, exactly one week after my first one.

I’m in a slow melt. Practically vibrating with fear. My first one was good, but I was only reassured for a day. I really hope the embryo has kept growing. I don’t feel pregnant at all. :/
