I'm temping and opk-ing to determine what kind of luteal phase I'm dealing with naturally. It was fine before out DD but maybe something changed. I will definitely keep you posted. I appreciate you so much.

It hurts deeply. I know because I've been there too-twice.<br /><br />Secondly, I have two other thoughts that I wanted to share with you regarding your post...<br /><br />One being, that I agree with Diane. You should not begin bleeding before you stop your progesterone and estrogen. Those meds are supposed to keep your lining in tact. I never bled before I stopped taking them and you are the only person that I've heard of that happening to. In fact, it usually takes a few days after you stop those meds before your body breaks down the lining and bleeding starts. That is not normal and is quite concerning because perhaps an embryo is trying to implant but your lining is too thin (to grow up around the embryo). I would definitely look into this and bring this up with your doctor.<br /><br />Secondly, I don't think the procedure sounds necessary. I know that when you receive a negative beta, your mind tries to rationalize what might have prevented it. The only thing that sounds strange to me is your early bleeding. The rest of the reality is that some embryos just won't continue to grow. I tend to disagree with your RE about the remaining frozen embryos not being great quality. Sure, that is the case sometimes but even in a fresh cycle, seemingly strong embryos don't make it. Some just aren't survivors. In my twins' case, there were 12 blastocysts in their set of donated frozen embryos and only 3 survivors today (my twins and another EA mommy is pregnant with one of their genetic siblings right now) - the other 9 just didn't make it for only reasons that God knows. Sadly, the majority of embryos won't make it, but couples still need to move in faith and try to adopt them as they all deserve a chance at birth and only God knows what His will is for each of them. <br /><br />Again, ((Hugs))!!Aaron and Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331025232659525614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369311249746099246.post-38028500367806972692013-03-25T20:56:09.218-07:002013-03-25T20:56:09.218-07:00I'm so sorry for the loss of these little ones...I'm so sorry for the loss of these little ones.<br /><br />My only recommendation at this point would be to perhaps get a second opinion about why you started bleeding so early. The PIO and estrogen you were on should have kept your period away indefinitely (at least for a while--after weeks and weeks, you would likely have "breakthrough bleeding"). To dismiss full on bleeding that starts before you even reach 7 days past transfer is odd and disconcerting to me. Did you have your progesterone levels tested this time?<br /><br />If you normally ovulate on your own and have a normal length luteal phase when NOT on a medicated cycle, I'd be tempted to ask to do a natural FET next time, but that's just me.<br /><br />Praying for you as your grieve.

Second, the RE that we went to in VA did the endometrial biopsy before all FETs because she had had success with it. I'm not proof of that success, but apparently she had some data to back it up. It's, by far, the most painful test/procedure that I had done, but like you said, if it gets you a baby, shouldn't you give it a shot? Doctors are always trying to scientifically rationalize these things when we know that, ultimately it's not up to any of us. Pray on this for a while and try to discern His plan in this journey and know that you have a friend in Maryland who's praying too!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496732976924572641noreply@blogger.com
