(Updated - Page 2) Nervous...getting my hcg betas and progesterone results today.

jerseyshoregirl · Oct 3rd, 2008, 06:56 AM

Good morning ladies!

Really looking for some PMA today if you have some to spare!

I should hopefully get the results of my hcg betas and progesterone levels today. I gave blood on Tuesday morning and yesterday morning. Labs/dr said we should have the results today.

I am really nervous. I had a natural m/c in mid-July at 8wk4d and the nurse recommended we do the bloodwork early to see if my levels are increasing as they should be this pregnancy. As I mentioned in my other post, my (o)(o) are not as sore as they were (they are still sore though to a degree) and they seem to have deflated already. I am still salivating a lot, am really tired, my HPT has a really dark test line on it, and I have no cramps or bleeding (knock on wood!)...but I am still scared.

Any advice, good vibes, stories on your experiences would really be appreciated!!!

Hi hun. try and relax - and good luck with the results. My symptoms kept stopping and starting at about 5 or 6 weeks too - they went from one extreme to the other and it used to really freak me out.
good luck with hcg chick - will be thinking about you. xxx

Hey. Good luck hun and a little hope I was told that 1 in 3 women will misscarry and almost all of them will go on to have a completely normal pregnancy right there after. I forget the exact percentage but this is what almost everyone has told me and it happened for me... Almost in second trimester and I lost my first baby at 8 weeks... So keep your chin up and dont worry. Stress isnt good.

Sending lots of good vibes

Curious. Does everyone get those tests done? Or is it after a miscarriage? I'm just wondering cause I don't quite understand why we have to give SO MUCH blood!

Jersey,

I had a miscarriage in 4/07 and just got my bfp about the same time as you. I was real nervous so I had my levels checked last week and they were perfect, I had more blood taken yesterday to make sure they keep rising. I was so scared to get the results. I think we just gotta keep a PMA, like said a large percentage- I read some where like 94% have a successful pregnancy following a miscarriage! Good luck to you

Oh you ladies are wonderful! Thank you for the support

I know they have my test results in, so now it's just a matter of waiting for the doctor's call.

And to think I had the idea that "getting pregnant" was going to be the hard part! I am Fertile Myrtle in that department (2

on 1st try for each cycle)...now I just need to STAY pregnant! Hoping this is the lucky cycle!

I really appreciate your words of hope.

I called yesterday...he was in the other office. I called this morning and I was told he would not be in until after 1pm. He is really good about getting back to his patients, so I know he will call me when he has the chance to. I am glad they have both sets of results in so that he can compare them.
