Hi, Savannah. I found your blog after looking for other woman who are pregnant via egg donation. I feel bad that the hormones are hitting you so hard. Hang in there.
I had my pregnancy test and ultra sound at the end of August overseas (had egg donation in Turkey). Back in the U.S., it took me a while to figure out how to find an obstetrician thru my health care plan and the wait list is so long I'll have my first meeting with my U.S. doctor on Oct 5 -- when I'm 11 weeks!
Is this too long too wait? Should I try to get my progesterone and esradial levels checked? I'm still taking meds prescribed by the Turkish clinic.
This seems so long to wait -- and meanwhile, I don't know if I'm still pregnant or if my embryos are being reabsorbed and the hormones are keeping me from shedding the uterine lining. I miscarried before at 10 weeks (at age 42 with my own eggs) and have horrors of the same thing happening now although of course I know I now have the benefit of young eggs (due to the generosity of a wonderful, unknown woman who is half way around the world).
Anyone else going thru this or have advice? I worry because I have so symptoms of pregnancy other than swollen breasts. I may have fatigue and enhanced appetite, but perhaps I'm just imagining it.
@ human project... wow....have you taken a pregnancy test...
I am still taking progesterone shots and suppositories...estrogen pills and patches...not sure for how long
some of the symptoms are also by all the medication..
I actually felt a kinda feeling of inner piece and warmth all of a sudden ...i did not trust my symptoms but I did not dare dream until it was confirmed...but it was totally different then my last IVF...so i had hope.
wow u are in a tough spot...lots of hugs... I wish you all the best and pray that u get lucky as well.. hang in there and try to be calm
