Anyone get BFP the cycle after chemical pg? Looking for hope

sherilea · 05-29-2006, 09:58 AM

Hi there.

DH and I just completed our first IVF attempt. Unfortunately, it resulted in a chemical pg. Re is suggesting that as soon as HCG is zero-hopefully on Tues or Wed-that I should start BCP's and move right on to next fresh cycle.

Does anyone out there have a success story of a BFP (healthy pg) just after a chemical pg?

I am so looking for a boost right now. We are seriouly considering giving up.

Thanks to all that take the time to respond.

hi,

I had a chemical pregnancy in january. We took a few months off (it was our second m/c in 3 months). We're now TTC again, and hopeful that a fresh start after a few months will make the difference. I'm sorry you're in this boat, I hate this boat. Best of luck to you with a BFP (that's "real" this time!).

My first IVF attempt in February led to chemical pregnancy....had one full unmedicated cycle after that and am now almost 6 weeks preg. after 2nd IVF. Best of luck on your next cycle...it will happen!

Lee & Lizzardqueen,

Thank you so much for your responses.

Lee-I too am so sorry that you're in the same boat as me. It is absolute HELL!! I was just explaining to someone else on another thread that I am feeling so fearful of my next two impending IVF cycles. DH and I only have funds for two more attempts and I am so fearful. I am such a strong woman, but I am truly fearful of everything. I do not want to experience another chemical pg and I certainly don't want to experience a BFN either. I keep thinking that if DH and I can only produce better embies the next time that we can do it. However, I keep reading all of these posts from women who thought the same thing as me and went on to produce better embies after a chemical pg and then had another chemical pg or a BFN. I almost think the BFN would be worse b/c it makes you wonder why w/better embies didn't you get pg. Anyway, I hope that you're finding the strength for your next attempt. I will be praying for you. Please keep me informed.

Lizzardqueen - Congratulations. I certainly hope to share in your spotlight some day soon, but I can't seem to find any strength to remain positive about my upcoming cycle. I just keep reading more and more posts about women suffering chemical pg's and then going on to suffer yet another, and another... Please pray for all of us women out here living this nightmare.

You do give me hope and I will be thinking about you through my next cycle. Thank you so much for getting back to me and please keep me posted as to how things are progressing.

Take care,
Sherilea

Hi Sherilea: Please do not give up hope. I had a chemical my first cycle and got pg the next FET. My 3 yr old son is asleep in bed now. The RE explained that my body was trying to get pg it just wasn't ready to at that time. To get pg at all is very encouraging. So PLEASE do not give up-I does happy and will happen to you next try!! You too Lea!!

Sherilea dont give up. I had been pg after years of ivf that ended in chemical. a few months later new fresh cycle I got pg again, this time it was completely normal pg. I had an abortion for other reasons-downs syndrome-but if it werent for that I would still be pg. most people have chemical but they dont even know about it, as people dont test so early as we do for ivf. try again and tell us how it is going.
