fertilitydiaries ttc fertility pregnancy forum

hi everyone
i was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this happening, and if so your experiences.
i have very severe PCOS and i do not get my period without the use of birthcontrol.
i did a fertility cycle in june and i was taking Puregon 225 inejections and did an IUI on june 24.
they told me if i didn't get my period by july 10th to get a beta HCG....i am very impatient so i bought 6 hpt and began taking them 6 days before my expected period...i got 4 days of negatives and on the 4th day of testing i got my period.
i got my period from July 7-12, and it was quite heavy.
because i got my period every assumed i had not gotten pregnant, and i accepted that it didn't work and decided to start another fertility cycle of puregon 225 injections on july 11.
after 5 days on the drugs i had my second internal ultrasound to check my ovaries, it was very painful and when i got home i noticed i was spotting. i immediatly called the clinic who told me that it was normal after a more difficult ultrasound, i accepted their answer and thought the bleeding would stop.
my next ultrasound was at 8 days and i was still spotting, but nothign else hurt.
after 9 days of injections and 3 ultrasounds i wasn't feeling well, extremely tired and bitchy and very very irritable, something told me this wasn't right...i had 2 hpt left and on sat july 18 after work i decided to take a hpt.....as soon as the urine hit where the positive line would be my test was positive! (literaly 10 seconds including the 5 seconds it was dipped in the urine)
i wasn't happy, i was scared!
i immediatly phoned my dr who told me it was very unlikely that i was pregnant, but to go to the clinic first thing in the morning where he would do blood work and an ultrasound.
still spotting i went to the clinic on sunday morning and was immediatly sent for a beta hcg, and while waiting for the result he did an internal ultrasound.
he did not find anything in my uterus except blood "swooshing" around, he found nothing in my tubes, and i had one 14mm folicle in my left ovary and many 8-12 mm folicles between my two ovaries.
when we got the results of my beta HCG they were at 158, i was told they were VERY low for 5 weeks 5 days, that i was pregnant.
i was told that they were sorry i am miscarrying, to expect cramps and alot more bleeding.
i was told to retest on tuesday (july 22), so i did and my beta HCG was 136. It had dropped but not as much as they were hoping for. Up until this point i had only had some lower back pain on the left and 2 very sudden stabbing cramps on the left side. i was still spotting brown blood, but with the 2 cramps came a little bit of dark red blood, but not alot and the brown blood continued.
i was told to retest on friday (july 25). i retested friday morning and then anxiously awaited the call from the clinic with the results, i had expected them to drop dramatically and they did too.... my level was 135, only down 1 point in 3 days. the clinic was shocked as was i and they assumed that i was going to different clinics for the tests but i assured them that i have been going to the same clinic at the same hospital at the same time of day for each of the hcg tests.
i go again on monday morning (july 28)
everyone is dumbfounded. and i don't even now what to think.
i don't know if i should have some hope that things could work out, or if i should just accept that i'm having a miscarriage.
Friday morning (july 25) i stopped spotting and bleeding all together.
since the completion of my period on july 12th i spotted (mainly brown blood) from july 18-25 with only 3 cramps and I passed no tissue or clots.
i'm hoping its not ectopic, somethign that they haven't ruled out yet, but they don't know whats going on because my body seems to be trying to miscarry and ovulate at the same time, something i think that is both physically and hormonally impossible.
has anyone every experienced this, and if so do you mind telling me what happened, or from your personal knowledge can i get some feed back, positive or negative.
i'm just so confused and scared.
thanks
jen

if i am pregnant, i will be 7 weeks on tuesday (july 29)
my pregnancy symptoms seems to be getting worse, my boobs are sore and feel heavier, my lower abdomin feels bloated and i was awake from 3:30 to 6am this morning feeling very nausiate.
i also have some weird pains in my lower belly, but they dont' feel like they are coming from my uterus. they kinda feel like ovary pains as well a feeling of possibly a bladder infections.
OMG Jen! I personally haven't experienced this, but the emotions you must be going through. My heart goes out to you. I am in the 2ww (again) and will go for a blood test on Monday 8/4 (unless of course, I get my period) to see if the iui has worked. Please keep me updated. You are in my thoughts. ~Christina
i have now learned that regardless if i get my period or not i will be going for the blood test, because as i'm proving now, you can get your "period" and still be pregnant.
i went for an ultrasound today, they figure that my baby stopped growing at 3 or 4 weeks, but couldn't be 100% sure, and they still can't rule out ectopic.
i also ruptured another ovarian cyst, as i have free fluid in my pelvis (i had that happen last time too...very painful)
so now i wait and see what my dr wants to do.
i'm very very very frustrated right now.
i was told i would get a call this afternoon, but haven't yet got one.
arg.
on july 30th, they diagnosed that my pregnancy was ectopic.
i was given 115 mg of methotrexate (i think thats the spelling) and i'm hoping that it does the trick and i can avoid surgery.
i'm not sure where this leaves me fertility wise....i can not ttc for at least 9 months, due to this drug, and my dr doesn't know why i can't hold onto my pregnancies.
i guess only time will tell....
Oh Jen,

I am so sorry. 9 months is a long time. Why does this have to be so friggin hard? I keep telling my husband I want to be a crack whore, I would get pregnant then and have no problems. At least that is the way it seems, people who would cherish children seem to have such a hard time. I got my period again yesterday and I'm such a wreck. I am so tempted to give up, this disappointment all the time is so hard. It also puts a strain on our relationship. We both blame ourselves when it really isn't our fault. Hopefully one of these days our (yours and mine) luck will change. Know I think of you often and wish the best to both of you.
