Hey Hkiegal, I agree with MayC and Augustbump. Let your body decide what to do. Has your doctor offered no explanation as to why you could be behind like this now that eptopic pregnancy has been ruled out? Has he talked it through clearly with you? This must be very difficult for you, and worse because you are just hanging in limbo. When he said to wait until your hormones peak, did he give an indication of how long? Keep us posted, and take care x
One way of monitoring me is to take blood test regularly to chart when I have reached my peak point, but he said this could take weeks. He did explain clearly to me that it's the embryo not developing into fetus, which has something to do with the quality. Implantation is not a problem and IVF procedure is not the cause of it, to think the embryo has survived til now though its not a good one says that embryos can survive within my womb. He said this could have happened even in a natural cycle too, so he would rather I end it now and start a new cycle.
Am going for another blood test tomorrow morning, then will decide if I am doing the procedure tomorrow night. Luckily, I should recover very quickly and be back on schedule for FET in May.
Too bad this one is not meant to be, but it sure is strong and hangs in there.......almost as strong as me!! Haha
Am travelling next week, that is why doctor would like to clear this before I go and give me a peace of mind.
Thanks for all your support, and i will hang in there!!

Oh I see, so there is no chance that the embryo will develop into a fetus? No chance at all? That is a bit different then. Maybe ending it so you can start a new cycle is not a bad idea.
Ladies, do you know whether if you have a miscarriage after an IVF procedure whether the symptoms are the same? In a natural conception miscarriage you start to bleed, right? But if I am taking so much estrogen and progesterone artificially then would I bleed if I had a miscarriage? Or is that a stupid question?
Enjoy your holiday MayC.

hi liquorice
in my previous experiences, i had bleeding.. heavier flow than normal menstruation.. and maybe a little too much information here.. but its "gunky" if you know what i mean. I had estrogen and also progesterone pessaries. Some cramping but other than that.. it was "manageable".
how are you holding up?

August - had my blood test today and it is still a strong hcg level so fingers crossed.
How much affect do you girls think that a lot of stress has on the safety of the fetus? I have read that most miscarriages are due to chromosomal abnormalities but stress must affect also no? I am set up to fly a lot over the next couple of weeks and I am terrified of flying. I do it because I have to but I used to take drugs, now I just sit it out but there is a hell of a lot of adrenalin coursing through my body. Not sure whether I should just refuse to travel over the next few weeks until the pregnancy is more stable. What do you think?
Hkiegal, good luck with your decision today. I am sure that you will make the right one, whichever it is, so stay strong. Take care.

hi all
liquorice.. nice to hear that the hcg is going up!!!! yipee doo dah!!! well.. apparently stress level has very little to do with pregnancy. Dr Ho said to me once that women work in fields, carrying heavy loads and have highly stress job .. yet they are able to sustain the pregnancy. But i would suggest to keep stress level at a manageable level for anyone irregardless if they are pregnant or not.
as for flying- if you think you will have a peace of mind whilst traveling.. then.. yeah... i think its ok to fly. Ask yourself where is your comfort zone.. everyone is different.. i wish you well..
mayc - happy hols!
