Wendy I think 4 days out sounds normal enough? My friend got put back 10 days at her first scan!

Oh Morgan... im praying for you!! Please update us. I hope everything is ok.

Karinama, I was actually thinking of you last night and was worried we hadnt heard from you. I feared the worst. Im so happy everything is ok. At my scan yesterday the baby was measuring a few days behind and she said thats perfectly fine. She mentioned a due date a few days later than i was originally given but then said go by the date you were given at your 6 week scan as that is the most accurate.

Mahogani, Ive only told my mum and dad and 1 other friend. Im happy to tell anyone that ask but my OH wants to keep it a secret until at least 12 weeks an we probably wont put it on Facebook until 16 weeks. He seems to think he is saving other people from being upset... he doesnt want them to get excited for us and then be upset if we lost another one. Silly if you ask me... im sure our friends and family would want to share in our life good or bad!

With my scan last week Tuesday, it was good news. The US measured the baby at 4 mm, which she said appeared to be 6 weeks exactly (about a week earlier than a normal 28 day cycle would be, but with my cycles being off after my MC, I didn't surprise me). Heart beat was 178 bpm and was sitting high up in the uterus.

No other bleeding issues since last week Monday, which that only lasted a few hours in general.

Today is my "8 week" appointment, so we'll see what they say. Per the US my dd is 4/15/2014. We'll see if we can figure out how far along I really am since my dates are all over the place. lol

I'm starting to realize that the whole 'dating' thing is pretty bogus. When the doctor originally measured the baby, it was dated at only 7 weeks, 3 days. Then it moved, or we moved and she checked again and it was 8 weeks, 2 days. I think it most important to check for growth and a heartbeat at this early stage. Good luck with your next scan!

Morgan, I've been thinking about you all day! I hope things are going well. Give us an update when you can hun

 

[Lindsay109]

Had my first ultrasound today and it went very well The ultrasound tech was not allowed to tell me much but said she was not concerned about anything and we got to see the heartbeat... what an amazing thing!! Hubby and I are over the moon this evening. Here's a photo of our little blobbie

 

[Lisa85]

So happy for you Lindsay!!

Lisa....thank you for thinking about me. I was thinking today that I should at make an appearance since it's been a week - work kept me busy actually all last week. Today's appointment was fine. Didn't do too much, although they did a pap since my last one was 9 months ago. Not gonna lie...not sure if it's because of cervical changes or what but it was the worst pap ever! It hurt so much. Normally I have no problems. Then again, things down there hurt overall - felt bad for my hubby the other night after I said it hurt. LOL

They're sticking with the 4/15/2014 date as per the U/S at this point. The main question we had going in was about traveling and our concern about MC again since we'll be taking a long-distance car-driving drip next month to Colorado. We're doing it as our last hurrah before the baby comes, but it's also a memorial type trip in dedication to the baby we lost as their original due date will fall during that travel week.

Morgan...I hope things are alright. I've been there before, and know your concerns. Prayers to you.

Morganwhite-I hope everything is going ok. Thinking of you

Hi everyone. Hopefully everyone is having a good day/night! I still haven't gotten an ultrasound and other than a confirmed positive pregnancy test, do not feel pregnant at all. Hopefully my lack of symptoms is not going to be bad news.

hope4rainbow-I hope you had a good day at school and hopefully you didn't throw up on your students, lol.

Vietmamsie-Yay for a good scan!

Karinama98-Everytime I see your name it makes me think of my twin sister. Her name is Karina and weird thing is our birthday is April 15th, the same as your due date.

pebbles88-Welcome!

Lindsay109, Lisa85-Yay for your ultrasound pics! Looks like everyone is getting good news on their scans!

Mahogani- Only OH and our 2 closest friends know. I wasn't going to tell them but when we helped them move into their new house they bought me special beer as a thank you and it was very obvious that I didn't partake. I will probably tell a few close family members after the first ultrasound (both to celebrate and also in case something happens later for support)

Is it just me or is there a lot of people from Texas in this group? Maybe there was something in our water a few months ago to help us get bfp's, lol.

 

[Mahoghani]

I'm in El Paso. For whatever reason there are always tons of pregnancies in El Paso. I think part of it is being in a military town. Funny you say that though because we tried to get pregnant for years before moving here and then got pregnant about a year after we arrived.

Anyone heard from Morgan? I hope all is well. Xx

Wendy I think 4 days out sounds normal enough? My friend got put back 10 days at her first scan!

Thanks Hun. I just need to get to the next scan now. At least we have ruled out ectopic.

Loving your pic, so clear. I'm so happy for you. X

Thanks ladies!! Sorry for forgetting to update:

SO my diagnosis was possible ectopic. I was FIRST told they were SURE that's what it was. Said they couldn't see if there was actually anything in my tube, but that what was in my uterus did NOT resemble a normal pregnancy. That's what the DOC said. THEN the nicest lady ever came in and told me that she was an OB specialist. & I'm like (in my head) omg the doc just said ectopic, what else do I need to know.. Jeez.. And she says to me: How far along are you? I say ohh about 5 weeks maybe.. And she says okay well "I have NEVER seen an ectopic with an hCG level of 31,000 this early. AND also I can promise you that I saw your ultrasound and it looks to me like there is a yolk sac, just way too early too tell.

So the doc came back in and said he'd say I have a 50/50 chance. And that he doesn't think it looks like a normal pregnancy. All my bloods came back fine, with an hCG of 31,000.

And their solution for my problem is another quantitative hCG test in 48 hours. So we will go tomorrow after work. She said to hope for a level of at least 60,000 (double, duh) to ensure that it is in fact an intrauterine pregnancy. He said in an ectopic, the hCG usually grows at a bit of a slower pace.

So basically I am STILL stuck with having to wait until my Sept. 10th scan to see if bean is doing okay.

I will probably drive myself MAD today Googling ectopic vs. normal hCG levels at 5 weeks.. Would you guys pleeeeeeease share ANY info you have on what my levels should looks like in early pregnancy, or what yours were when you first went?

Okay I'm done w/ the rant now, I just don't know what to do. I am so scared and anxious and can't believe I wasn't given a definite answer.. I don't know how I'm just supposed to just WAIT.. I want to relax. I want to know my bean is okay.

Morgan an ectopic would never ever ever ever have HCG that high soooooo early!!!

I hope that they re scan u at 6 weeks as its far too early to see normal things at 5 weeks!!

Has your bleeding stopped?

 

[c.m.c]

My HCG was 5000 at almost 8 weeks with my ectopic!
