1 day DPO and in need of buddies :)

[pinksmarties]

Rach - I think I would go with the part time in the hope of getting FT however I don't know how that would affect things for you without insurance in that time. How would that affect your birth etc if you don;t have insurance by then? Front desk sounds like a great job for you so I hope it all works out. Happy V day!

Kels- thinking of you today, I hope OH can make it with you. I will keep refreshing but think I'll be asleep/middle of the night if you get chance to update.

Jess - glad you have found a daycare you like and hope you manage to get a spot soon.

Linds - hope you are having a great day being back with your men!!

alyssa - are you all settled in your new house now? Will there be redecoration or things you will want to change? Are you having to wait for Af to show before the BC?

afm - foot a bit better but still hobbling around work again today, only 3 weeks left to go before I come off in maternity.

We'll sac measured 6 weeks but nothing in sac. Dr said it's either too soon or not viable preg. If sac is measuring 6 weeks, wldnt there at least be something in there but maybe not have a hb yet? Idk, took blood Nd she said if hcg hasn't risen then she can seem it non viable and I can take a pill to jumpstart the process. If at all possible I do not want another D&C...ugg, wish my body could do what's it's supposed to without assistance (clomid).
She said she'd call back w hcg #s tonight and and if #s went up at all need repeat us next Friday. She said were supposed to wait 2 weeks but I said for my sanity 1 week.

Kelsey - don't get discouraged, I would wait and see how it goes. If you look back at this prwgnacy for me the doctor said they should have seen more on my scan for my Hcg level and didn't think this pregnancy would work out for me. He had me so stressed but here I sit with a 9 week old. I think there is just a lot of variability in the beginning. Hang in there!!

 

[babydust818]

Kelsey I have heard many many many many stories exactly like yours whom went back and BOOM! baby and hb! If you're 6w then it is still in that iffy stage of seeing anything at all, let alone a hb. do not think it's over. let us know your numbers.

 

[pinksmarties]

I agree with what the other ladies have said Kels At 6 week there MAY be a hb/fetal pole to see but not always so that is why they don't always do scans so early. I have read so many stories like this that go on to have health pg's. I am glad you'll get the hcg results today. I am still keeping positive for you, keep your chin up hun. xx

 

[korink26]

Hcg went from 1800 to 14000. Dr seemed all excited but I forgot to ask-if the # is that high then it doesn't really make sense to not see anything, right? I though hcg above 2000 you can see a hb?

 

[korink26]

After being online for a long time, pretty sure I can diagnose myself with a blighted ovum. Ryan won't even listen to it and wants to only talk positive.

 

[babydust818]

That is not always the case Kels. Wait until next week for your ultrasound. I understand what you're saying about BO bcz I had one too. My hcg did not get that high though. Only to 144. I would not start thinking like that. Wait it out till next week. You will go in there and find a baby and a hb. Then you'll say why did I waste all that time worrying? Leave google alone and enjoy your weekend. I am praying for you. Just try not to think of the worst. Baby needs you to be positive!!

 

[korink26]

You know Rach, you're exactly right! So we're going up north by his parents cottage and we're going to relax.
Hope you all have a great weekend, wish we all lived close and cld get together this weekend

 

[pinksmarties]

I found lots of people stories with high hcg and then a few days later hb was seen when initially not there. Try to enjoy your weekend, Rach is right, x

 

[korink26]

Hi girls, hope you're all having a great weekend! Yesterday On our way to his parent's cottage I had a stomach ache and when we stopped at a store I got out and realized I was bleeding. Initially it was a good amount, but now just light brown spotting since. Shouldn't there be a lot of blood and cramping or not necessarily? Would it be considered AF or do I wait for AF now? Sorry, no experience as my last one was a D&C.

 

[CallMeAL1982]

Hi Kels, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this... You might not be out yet, or there might still be more bleeding and cramping to come. Even at 5 weeks I had pretty significant bleeding and cramping, bad for two days then on and off spotting for over a week... Everybody's different, though. It's possible the ultrasound bumped your cervix and you were bleeding from that, everything is tender down there when you're preg.

 

[pinksmarties]

Kels - sorry you are having this to deal with. I am still not considering this a mc/af. I had red and brown bleeding from 5-over 6 weeks with this pg and red bleeding at 12 weeks with B. I think if it was mc/af then the bleeding would continue especially with cramping and if that has stopeed then I hope there will be no more.

 

[babydust818]

It's still 50/50 Kels. Like the girls said, there's bleeding in some girl's pregnancies. There was a girl from a thread i was on one time that bled real bad around 7w. She thought for sure it was over, but ended up being something else. I am going to pray for you. I hope this isn't a BO. When i had mine i bled real good for 2 days and then the on/off for about 5. My 1st pregnancy when i miscarried i seriously felt contractions. With my BO i didn't feel contractions at all. Hope you're doing okay hun.

 

[confusedprego]

Hey Kels - I'm so sorry you're dealing with the unknown right now! I'm going to be honest with you and when I started bleeding from my miscarriage most recently, it was a lot of blood for a few days with a good amount of cramping. I'm not counting you out just yet!! Keep us updated - next scan is Friday?? You could have irritation from the US or a subchornic bleed (I don't know if I spelled that right) but it's really common to get bleeding at this point from baby burrowing in.

I'm back from San Diego and pretty much recovered from jet lag so I should be checking in more frequently!

 

[confusedprego]

I need an update!! I'm hoping your chart not showing CD1 is a good sign!! I'm sure you've called your doc - let us know what they say!!

Alyssa - where do you stand with everything??

 

[korink26]

Ugg, no blood whatsoever since Saturday...have had light tan discharge with very rare darker brown cm. Hardly ever shows on a panty liner....temp still up...idk what the heck. I honestly know in my heart this pregnancy is a no go, so I was honestly relieved on Saturday thinking I could get it behind me without any medical intervention...My Dr. is out until Friday, so I left a msg with her nurse this morning asking if maybe we could do some more blood work before Friday's ultrasound. If my numbers aren't going anywhere or are going down, then maybe I wouldn't even have to have the ultrasound. Last week my Dr. said unless we see something obvious on this coming Friday's u/s we still really couldn't do anything anyway because she legally has to wait 2 weeks from 1st u/s to deem it not viable and start intervention (if I choose that route).
Khloe's getting her molars, and she's handling it like a champ. Still sleeping good at night, but fussier during the day and trying to stick both hands in her mouth at once. Poor girl.
How's everybody else?! Alyssa, what's going on with your cycle?

 

[babydust818]

Kelsey i'm sorry you're still in the unknown. I know a part of you wants to just let go and move on, but another part is holding on because you still have hope. I really think it's still 50/50. I know with having a miscarriage before when you see blood you automatically think "it's over". That is not always the case. I am going to pray super hard for you and i hope that HCG has more than quadrupled and you see a little bean in your uterus on that ultrasound screen. I hate for you to have to wait until the US, but good news is it's already Tuesday. Just a few more days...

AFM trying to figure out work situation. They finally called me today to tell me i got the job, but it's only part time. Which means no insurance. They said i would work 3 days a week, but possibly 4 because people will be on vacations. Then he calls me right back to tell me basically you don't have the job yet... you need to come in tmrw and be interviewed in front of a panel. I'm like GREAT because i SUCK at interviews. I was checking into pregnancy medicaid and if i worked 3 days a week i'd qualify, but if i worked 4 i wouldn't. Which sucks because i want to work as much as possible to get everything i need for little guy. So that kind of sucks. I wish i could get on Andrew's insurance so i don't have to worry about how many hrs i work. He is going to call to see if i can when he gets home. Just really hate dealing with this crap. Wish i knew which my best option would be. Sorry for the rambling. I have no friends lol (obviously).

 

[confusedprego]

Kels - I don't think you're out but I know why you do. Your numbers are looking good and way higher than I've ever heard for a blighted ovum. You could be earlier than you think as you're not 100% when you O'd - a week can make a huge difference in development. I hate that you have to wait that long but even talking to my SIL that does the US she said everyone is different and it could take longer to see something. She said typically by 14,000 you can see a fetal pole but hcg varies so much from person to person that it's not a good indicator for what you'll see on the scan. She said you may be surprised come Friday to find everything is fine. She was shocked they scanned you so early because it can cause so much stress. Her first pregnancy with her daughter took a long time to see a fetal pole that she thought she was having a blighted ovum - plus she said if you're not 100% sure on your dates, it can really screw up the first sono, so hang in there!!! You'll know for sure on Friday!
Oakley shoved both hands in his mouth I swear for a month straight when he was getting his first set of molars and would be up all night - it was rough for us! I'm really dreading those second year molars! I'm still waiting on his K9's on his right side to come down too - he seems to be super slow with teeth! He's been up coughing all night the last week that I broke out the albuterol yesterday which seemed to help some. When I walked in his daycare all I could hear was coughing so I guess I know where it came from!!

Rach - I would try your hardest to get on Andrew's insurance - typically a "change in life" means you can go onto his insurance no questions asked and I thought there was that new law that banned the pre-existing conditions thing and they couldn't deny coverage even for maternity but I could be wrong! His HR will know. I think it's better to take the job if you can than to not. Are there any local doc offices that might hire you?

 

[korink26]

Rach I would also think you'd have the option to get on Andrew's insurance because of a life changing event. Now with this new front desk job, would you get to keep it even after baby T comes? (Does baby T have any names in the lead yet?) I'm excited for this change for you!
Thank you girls for keeping me positive during this. I literally would be so caught in my own negative misery without you guys. Lindsay I really appreciate more than you know taking the time to ask your SIL about it. Gives me some hope...
The nurse just called to say my HCG went up to 25,215 (from13,963 on Friday). So she said to just keep the us on Friday and we'll see what's going on.
Now, Linds and Sam-any names for your men? Khloe and Isabela are sure outnumbered in this group .
