It Fails...

Actually I knew this result on Thursday before my blood test on Friday... becos my menses came :(

In fact this time it is heavier than normal. My mood was immediately affected. I was deeply upset. I know I had expected failure but I was having good feeling that it should succeed after everything had went smoothly prior. Egg stimulation was ok, 13 eggs retrieved and managed to have 8 matured. Ovulation stimulation was ok as well. Fertilisation of the embryo was fine too. Managed to fertilise 5 and while 2 were inseminated into me, the grade of both embryo were quite good. One being grade 5 (best possible) and another grade 3. Stimulate lining to support the embryo was also ok, the blood test result came out just fine. So why when it comes to the last juncture that the embryos supposed to latch on, it fails. Such disappointment.

Anyway I was being told to still go for my blood test as there is a possibility that while one embryo is unsuccessful, the other one might be ok. But I know, it's not possible afterall the menses is here.

But the beta-HCG result came out weird. Reading of less than 1.5 will render a negative result while reading of more than 250 will be positive. Mine is 18. I'd reminded the nurse again that I'd already having my menses. The nurse explained that the embryo might be outside the uterus! Anyway I have being told to go for another blood test next Monday morning.

Does this mean there is still a chance? But what's the point if it is outside the uterus, it will be ectopic pregnancy which I understand can be dangerous and it usually means that there will be higher risk of ectopic pregnancy for future pregnancies. So for this case, perhaps a negative result will be preferred?
