I Knew It....

Well, just as I expected, cancelled AGAIN. Went in today for u/s and bw for my transfer on monday and its a no go .What started out as a dark discharge on monday has turned into a period like flow of black tar with the worst smell in the world, sorry I know thats gross. My estrogen went down also which means my lining is crapping out also. So back to provera for 12 days, wait for AF, then BCP and a hysteroscopy around Christmas (merry christamas to me). I know your wondering why I havent had one yet. I had a d&c by a preious RE in feb and there were no notes of abnormalties in the uterus so my new RE figured we were good to go. He did a SIS in the office and away we went went IVF. Well now there is lining issues, magic fluid that comes and goes in my uterus and whatever this *** is now that my body is pouring out of me. I already know what they're going to find on the hysteroscopy, a ugly, mean gnome saying f** you, your not puting anything in here without a fight. So maybe Ill be back in a cycle late Dec or januaryish. Good luck ladies and hold your heads high, it could always be worse right?

That's no good at all you've been cancelled, and all your other troubles. Sounds like your current RE could have been a bit more thorough. It can be a real pain in the butt when they don't do their job right. But what can you do but keep your head up and stay positive. An article I read recently made a point of staying positive in the sense that keeping your stress levels low can impact your chances of a BFP.

 Best of luck to you.

I dont blame him at all for not doing the hysteroscopy then, he saw no reason to. With the d&c that I had he ordered all the surgical notes to check for abnormalities and there was nothing noted. In hindsight, sure maybe he should have but I dont knock him for not. Its just the way the cookie crumbled on this one. Im nevrous as to what they will find now. Thanks ladies for all of your support and hugs.

That really sucks. I'm so sorry.

Give your doc a pointy stick to brandish in the direction of your uter-gnome for us. Get outta there!



TTC #1 for about 3.5 years
ME: 37, PCO, immune issues?, teflon uterus (my added diagnosis)
HIM: 38, Perfect. (Showoff.)
Month before starting Clomid, spontaneous pregnancy. m/c at 7 weeks and D&C.
Four months of Clomid, one IUI, with Intralipid each cycle: BFNs all
IVF 1.0 July 2012 -- Lupron, bravelle, menopur, estrogen, progesterone supps, intralipid. 14 ER, 14 fertilized, 1 blast transferred, 2 on ice. BFN
FET 1.1 -- 10/2, transferred our 2 blasts. Lupron, PIO, estrogen, baby aspirin, prednisone. BFN.
IVF 2.0 December 2012 -- Bravelle, Menopur, Ganirelix, Prednisone, Metformin, estrogen, progesterone supps. 22 eggs retrieved on 12/14, 17 mature, 15 fertilized. OHSS anticipated so ET cancelled. 3 embryos frozen.
Broke up with old RE. Moving on to new dude. Maybe the change of scenery will be just the trick for our frosties. On BCPs for possible April FET.
