Hello. I’m new to this bowl but happy to be apart of it and hopefully gain some insight. I’m experiencing possibly a m/c or had one , not sure. Period was two weeks ago randomly took a pregnancy test few days back came back positive. I went and got blood drawn twice this week and hcg levels dropped from 1st blood draw. I’m so confused as to what is happening. My last period was weird so I’m wondering was that chemical loss v period? Any feedback appreciated

It was likely a chemical pregnancy, so sorry.

It could be a chemical pregnancy, meaning you miscarriage at a very early stage that sometimes people don't even notice it. Did you ask the doctor?!

Thank you for your response. I did go to the ER yesterday to rule it ectopic pregnancy due to some of my symptoms. Levels dropped again & no sign of pregnancy during ultrasound. So yes I’m thinking chemical. Sucks bcs I just had a missed miscarriage February

Finally got two PGT normal embryos from my third ER. My lining got to 10 during all of the retrievals and I have regular periods, and I’m doing IVF for genetic issues not fibroid/polyp or hormonal issues. How likely am I to end up with a live birth? Will the Dr level set with me or will they never do that to control expectations?

I had a failed natural FET in Sep & did a mock transfer 2 weeks ago (HFET). Results came back Receptive. I got my period 2 days after stopping the PIO. RE mentioned I can start embryo transfer this week & did not need to wait for my next cycle. My periods are not always regular, so I like the idea of not waiting for them to start but also nervous if this could impact the embryo transfer as it would not follow the same timeline as that of the mock cycle. Anyone try this approach with success?

I tried a frozen embryo transfer for the first time and I think it hasn’t been successful because of how stressful I find my job to be.

I had a surgery for ectopic pregnancy about two weeks ago and I’m still insanely tired. To add before the surgery, I was given one dose of methotrexate and my hemoglobin tanked from 13.8 to 10.8 between the first blood test ( May 1st week) and the last ( June 1st week). I think my tiredness is cause by a mix of low hemoglobin, methotrexate, and surgery. Any advice on how to get my energy back would be appreciated.
