Hi ladies, well unfortunately I miscarried 2 days ago. It was still very early, so I'm guessing a chemical pregnancy. I've had a pretty rough time since getting my BFPs, not sick, or symptoms or anything, just the doctors giving me the runaround. I got my BFP on Thursday, went to the doctor on Friday at 14dpo for a blood test... he sent me to get an ultrasound. I told the tech how far I was, he laughed at me. I told the tech I thought the doctor was a dickhead. I then had to drive to gribbles for a blood test, I don't know why the doctor couldn't do it himself? Maybe not qualified... it would NOT surprise me. So, I had to wait all weekend, until Tuesday to find out the results. First off he reads out everything, all my hormones, everything. everything looked normal, then he gets to the pregnancy part, and skims over it saying "da da da da da daaaa...." As if he'd forgotten what I was there for in the first place. I had to ask him what my levels were. My hCG at 14 DPO was 29, at that early, that's a positive. Anything over 5 is a positive. Well, the doctor looks at his little chart and tells me no, I'm definitely not pregnant, it should be in the 1'000s already. AT this point I had had enough of this ridiculous little gnome, and just sighed, and went to leave. He then told me to come back in 2 weeks. I got a little frazzled and told him plainly, and loud enough for the waiting room to hear me "No I will NOT be coming back here, you can shred my file. You have absolutely no idea, and should NOT be trusted to handle pregnancies!"

So that was doctor number 1... Doctor 2 was better, but still not so great. The news this time though wasn't so good either. My hCG had only climbed to 38 in 4 days. I had to point it out to her that this news means something pretty bad, and had to cut her off before she congratulated me.

Doctor 3... My gyno appointment at the hospital. The ultrasound people call an hour before my appointment saying I can go pick them up. I call the hospital, and tell them that my gyno will definitely want to see these, and I MAY be a little late. They "make a note on my record" and thank me for calling them. I race from the ultrasound place, all the way to the city, tackle the traffic, finally find a park.. and enter 10 minutes late to my appointment. The nurse explains that everyone has already left for home. It's 4.10pm. The gyno, the actual one I had the appointment with comes out to tell me I'll have to come back another time. I then explain to her whats happening, and that my ultrasound shows something, and I need someone to explain it to me, and that i want to confirm it's not ectopic. This doesn't phase her, and she tells me to go to the ER. So.. I get down to the ER, the nurse behind the desk is having a ***** about me to another nurse. She doesn't look up, she keeps going. I then pretend I couldn't hear her, and tell her who I was... and she laughs. I let this one slide.
Finally, the doctor sees me, she examines me, it's not ectopic. However I do have a 6cm cyst on my ovary. They take blood, and I wait another hour for the results. My hCG had dropped to 17 and she tells me what I already knew. This was last Thursday

Saturday I started bleeding heavily, right in time for the weekend. I send DH to the bottle-o for reinforcements.

So, thats my story. I'm feeling a lot better now, although AF is still here. I am however determined to not leave this cycle out. I haven't seen my gyno yet, but she'll probably tell me to stop, and maybe birth control to help the cyst. I don't think I can NOT try this cycle though. I have a really REALLY strong feeling that this is my month. I haven't been told to stop Clomid yet, as I haven't been in to see the gyno yet (this Thursday is my appt.) But I know it's not good to continue with a cyst. I'm hoping I still ovulate without it.

Has anyone had any experience with cysts, or Clomid here? I've heard you still have it in your system one cycle after you stop.

Thanks for listening, and sorry it was so long :-)
