    • Hug

      From msnrn October 26

      Hey, I need to vent. Apparently people at work are talking about me behind my back and complaining bc I am being particular about the patients that I am taking. They think I should just take any old pt, swine flu, chemo or not. After what I have been through I am going to do everything in my power to protect this baby. Am I being out of line? I really need some advice.

    • Sympathy

      From hopeful8 October 24

      Oh my god! I've never heard of that. Sorry you had to go through the pain again. Hope it feels better soon. Epidural was the best right?! When I got mine I have a photo of me giving a thumbs up...it was great! Feel better!

    • Close Miscarriage

      My DH and I went thru IVF using donor eggs and became PG on the first try. I had very severe vomiting and was being seen on a weekly basis. On my 10 week appointment (9/27/07) we found that they baby no longer had a heart beat and went in for a D&C. The pain is terrible, both physically and emotionally. We got PG 2/08 but lost this baby too. I underwent another D&C in March 2008. PG again with IVF in August...m/c naturally at 7 1/2 wks, but retained tissue ~ another D&C! One try left with FET!!!

      Treatments

      D&C Working / Worked
      Just underwent the D&C 2 days ago. Was told it would feel like severe menstrual cramps, it was so painful and I have never experienced pain like that before. 2nd D&C was much better.
    • Close Infertility
      Type: Ovarian Issues

      I had a stem cell transplant for leukemia when I was 18yoa. The chemo destroyed my ovaries and now I am unable to conceive without in vitro and donor eggs. We have done 2 cycles of IVF, both resulting in PG (both ended in m/c). We will be doing another cycle as soon as we are cleared.

      Treatments

      Clomid Not Working
      No results what so ever. No ovulation at all!
      Estrogen Patch Working / Worked
      Used Vivelle as part of IVF.
      Hysteroscopy Working / Worked
      1st one was horrible. 2nd not so bad...uterus is ready to proceed!
      In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
      2 IVF cycle with successful implantation but both ended in m/c.
      Progesterone Working / Worked
      Part of IVF cycle.
    • Open Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)

      At 18 I was diagnosed with CML in blast crisis. I was told my only chance was a stem cell transplant (before Gleevec). I was truly blessed that my older brother was a perfect match. In March of 1997 I underwent a BMT. The chemo was detrimental to my ovaries and now I am dealing with fertility issues after fighting cancer 10 years ago. So far, I reject my marrow occassionally, but I am leukemia free and plan to stay that way!!!!

      Treatments

      Bone Marrow Transplant Working / Worked
      Horrible experience with chemo, long hospital stay, still have GVHD even 10 years out!
      Chemotherapy Working / Worked
      Part of BMT. Had severe mucositis, fertility problems now, and of course lost my hair!!
    • Open Celiac Disease

      Learned after months of problems with GI distress, skin rashes, etc. that I had celiac. The doctors assumed with my medical history that I was rejecting my bone marrow and treated me as such. When I didn't get any better on the BRAT diet I was finally tested for celiac...the results were not expected. The docotrs made me start a gluten free diet before they drew blood and the results ended up being neg. However the biopsies were positive for celiac disease.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      Hard to do - but I am trying
      Gluten Free Diet Working / Worked
      Gluetn is in more than you think! More items are coming out everday that are gluten free.
    • Open Bone Marrow Transplant

      I had an allogenic stem cell transplant in March of 1997 for CML. My older brother was my donor. I have been free of leukemia since. I do experience GVHD freuently. I am happy to be alive!

      Treatments

      Cyclosporine Not Working
      My body does not metabolize it ~ I stopped taking this during my transplant. Absolutely disgusting medication!!
      Methotrexate Working / Worked
      No longer take it, but had it intrathecially as BMT regimen.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      My MedOnc likes to try this before prograf, but I hate the side effects (insomnia, irritability, weight gain, moon face, etc.)!
    • Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      I underwent IVF with donor eggs in July 07 & got pregnant, only to lose the baby @ about 10 weeks. On Jan 21, 2008 underwent FET with my last 2 remaining embryos & found out I was pregnant again! Lost the 2nd pregnancy too. I will stay in this community in the hopes that I will be PG again soon!!!!
