Results-Normal

I finally got the call yesterday with my results. No blood clot disorders and my chromosome analysis came back Normal. This is great news, but on the other hand there's still no explanation for why our embies arrested and I m/c so early. I know with IF sometimes there's never an answer, but gosh I just wanted something to explain it. It's always easier to feel like there's something that can be fixed. I did get the confirmation that once AF comes again I can start BCPs again. That means IVF#2 will probably be in September. I can't believe I'm going thru this all over again. I'm scared. I just don't want the same thing to happen; it would be devestating. I know we still have 2 tries left before we have to consider other options, but just knowing that we already had such a bad first attempt makes me worried about what this next go round will be like. My RE even said in his opinion what happens the first time usually happens again. He wasn't very positive, but ultimately unless he says we can't try again, it's up to us. So now I wait yet again for AF to come; freakin' story of my life.

  2. Getting results always seems to be so bittersweet here. It's great because you can rule something out, but crappy because it means something else is wrong.

    I'm suprised your doctor is being so negative. My RE always said that truer results come from three tries. So go prove your doctor wrong for me!

    Thinking of you!

  3. I'm glad the test results came back normal, but at the same time I understand the desire to want to know why. It's such a catch 22. And I'm disappointed in your doctor for being negative about this upcoming cycle. Not that I think a doctor should always paint a pretty picture, but I've never heard his reasoning ("what happens the first time usually happens again"). Hopefully your body proves him wrong!

  4. I'm glad the results were normal, even if it leaves some things unexplained. I wish your RE had been more encouraging though. He didn't have any ideas about what might be causing the m/c? I just think what he said was unnecessarily discouraging. I know a lot of people go through IVF more than one time before they have luck. I'm glad you guys are trying again. You have a lot of people rooting for you. ((HUGS))

  5. Not having answers is so frustrating. I understand how you would love to have some sort of answer but also it's so very good that the results were normal. I can't believe your RE said what he said. I would still try to encourage no matter what, but ultimately he has NO idea what will happen in the next two tries. Love you girl. I'm thinking about you tons!

  6. I am sorry that the tests were not able to provide you with answers and that your dr was a negative nelly ... I hope that you go on to prove him VERY wrong!! There are lots of women who find success after the 1st round not working!! Best of luck to you!

  7. It stinks that the tests didn't bring you much closer to having an answer. I hope you prove your RE wrong, big time, too!

  8. Ugh, sorry your doctor wasn't more positive or helpful. I hope that things go differently in Sept.

  9. It is good news that you don't have any blood disorders. And as several of the other ladies have said, it can be frustrating to not have a definitive answer. I am sorry to hear your RE is not very positive. It seems like he is being a bit harsh with his opinion. As much as he may not want to give false hope, but you have to find someway to be positive in your efforts. My heart is with you on this next try. Dig deep and try to find the positive for yourself.
