History in brief (maybe not so brief...)
- 2002ish: Diagnosed with PCOS/anovulation
- 11/02: married my wondermous husband S. Immediately started TTC.
- much of 2003: OB/GYN insisted that the only reason I couldn't get pregnant was that I am overweight.
- 2004: OB/GYN conceded that Clomid might help matters. 5 useless clomid cycles.
- 10/2004: Our fabulous Foster Son, J came to live with us
- 8/2005: started seeing an RE
- 2/2006: 1st IUI cycle failed
- 3/2006: 2nd IUI cycle failed
- 6/2006: 3rd IUI cycle failed.
- 7/2006: "Final" IUI cycle. Looked like it failed... I started bleeding before my beta, but it turned into a very low beta: 23.8
- 8/2006: Hey, you're not miscarrying, your beta keeps doubling! And look at that beautiful heartbeat!
- 9/8/06: Discharged from fertility clinic. Off to OB land with healthy heartbeat and 95% odds of carrying to term.
- 10/4/06: A reason for the bleeding comes to light... a subchorionic bleed is diagnosed, but the fetus is healthy and happy on ultrasound. Fingers and toes accounted for. Perfect beating heart. Perfect growth and development.
- 10/9/06: Columbus Day. Miscarriage at 12 weeks, one day gestation. Subsequent D&C.
- 1/07: 5th IUI fails
- 2/14/07: 6th ("final") IUI. I assume it is doomed to fail b/c my life isn't nearly cliche enough to conceive on Valentine's Day (besides, I don't celebrate Valentine's Day!)
- 2/24/07: Positive HPT. Faint, but definitely positive. Subsequent positive HPTs on 2/25, 2/26, 2/27...
- 2/28/07: Beta 228. Strong, strong positive. I begin to worry I have twins, but realize that I'm still well within average for the range for singletons.
- 3/8/07: Two gestational sacs.
- 3/13/07: THREE gestational sacs
- 3/16/07: One heartbeat, two smaller sacs
- 3/20/07: Three heartbeats
- 9/19/07: Sam, Ellie, and Abby were born.
- 10/13/07: Sam, Ellie, and Abby were discharged from the NICU

No beating yourself up. Two steps forward, one step back is still one step forward (if my math serves me correctly).
Oh no, I am so sorry. Like the previous poster said, its only one step back not two.

oh no, i'm so sorry. is she eating as much as last week? refluxing more? lots of love and hugs to you guys.
Poor Ellie. :(
Thinking of you. Tell that little girl to EAT!!
Four ounces is so little that she could have just peed it... I would look over a longer period of time. The trend is what makes the difference & if she's gaining that's what counts.
I think you're doing an amazing job!
four oz in how long? If it's only been since thursday I would try (I know it's hard) not to worry as it could just be the difference in before/after a feed/poo. There will be steps forward and back, hang in there and keep with the high calorie stuff.
I'm with whattoexpect--it's still improvement over her earlier weight, and she will get past this one also. But I know it's hard and I'm thinking of you!
I'm sorry. I am hoping that it was a momentary step back though.
I am sorry to hear that. I hope that you can keep up your strength despite these little setbacks.
oh, ellie! what a little rebel! hope this is just a little setback...
Well said by whattoexpect. It's still an overall gain. I'm sure it's frustrating for you, but in time, she will chubb up just fine. Hang in there momma, you are doing a great job.
