My husband and I excitedly attended IVF Hammersmith this morning for our six week scan. Everything appeared to be going well (apart from the incident last Thursday) and my pregnancy symptoms have continued to develop. I have been having sleepless nights, interrupted by need to visit the loo, extreme tiredness in the afternoons and my breasts are so painful.
Anyhow, we had a bit of a nightmare getting to the clinic today - traffic on the A1M was horrendous, making us 20 minutes late for our appointment.
The sonographer was very patient and welcomed us. Unfortunately, she could not find a viable pregnancy during the scan and informed us that potentially there may be an ectopic pregnancy which she could not detect. We were devastated as we'd come to terms with the fact that we might be parents at long last.
I had to go for a blood test to see how the HCG levels are doing and may have to go back for further treatment. In any case, the miscarriage is going to be managed by the staff at IVF Hammersmith.
We won't be doing IVF any more as there are no more embryos left and the stress and disruption to our lives over the past 18 months has been significant. However, there are no regrets - we have achieved what we set out to. We have peace of mind that we've done everything possible to try and now we can get on with our lives.
