4 weeks pregnant after 5 M/c's. Pregnancy symptoms seem to come and go

[jtyler612]

Hello,

I have had 5 miscarriages, 8 weeks being the farthest I have gotten and I have gotten. I am so scared to miscarry again. I find myself constantly checking to see if my breasts are still sore. Does anyone else find themselves doing the same thing? My first HCG was 17 on February 24th and they said it was low so I had to have another draw 3 days later it was at 70.

The nurse at my RE's office said it was rising perfectly. I have another draw tomorrow and if it's still doubling they will schedule an ultrasound. My periods are irregular and my last period was December 29th, 2014.

I was using the Ovia fertility app and when I said I was ovulating on the 7th me and DH started trying. Is it normal for pregnancy symptoms to come and go? My breasts didn't feel as sore tonight. I have had extreme fatigue, nausea, queasiness, sore breasts and bloating that makes me look like I am 3 months pregnant. Thank you!!!

My progesterone was 20 on the day my HCG was at 17. When I miscarried last january, I wasn't seeing my RE. I had a hemorrhagic corpus leutal cyst and the doctor didn't put me on progesterone suppositories or cream. At my ultrasound at 5 1/2 weeks, the baby was hard to measure and we couldn't see a heartbeat and the ultrasound report says the hemorrhagic corpus leutal cyst was no longer visible. Would that have caused my miscarriage?

Congratulations! I can't imagine suffering 5 miscarriages, I'm so sorry

I lost my little this past October at 14 weeks and just found I'm pregnant again! I was pretty relaxed my last pregnancy, but already I'm a nervous wreck with this one and it's only 4 weeks! I'm trying to relax and take it day by day and enjoy it. I also plan to get my blood drawn tomorrow to check my level.

I'll be checking to see how you're doing!

I am so sorry for the loss of your little one
Congratulations to you, too!!
thank you for replying. It's so nerve racking waiting around for labs. Let me know how it goes!!! Xx

 

[jtyler612]

My RE's nurse just called back and said HCG went from 70 to 280 in 2 days!! It's doubling every 24 hrs and because of PCOS and irregular periods they said I ovulated around the 14th making me about 4 weeks and 3 days. One more lab draw on Thursday and they will recheck progesterone and then schedule ultrasound for middle of March when I would be around 6 weeks and 2 days to see a heartbeat. I am so excited and so nervous!!

Tcinks, let me know how your labs go. Praying for you and your little one!! Xx

 

[tcinks]

That is such good news!

 

[jtyler612]

Thank you!!
I'll be waiting to hear how your labs go

Congratulations and sorry for your losses.
I'm pregnant after 2 losses last year and after very successful hcg tests,and a scan I'm still battling with my symptoms that come and go all the time!
Even after my scan it still freaks me out,I prod and poke my boobs everyday.
I saw my doctor today and poured my heart out, they are letting me have my bloods done again to ease my mind, although I wanted a scan but apparently having bloods done first is how they do things :\
Glad to see your numbers are rising nicely

 

[jtyler612]

Congratulations and I am sorry for your losses! Yeah they just love doing the labs lol. I wish they had ultrasound machines you could buy lol. Its such a scary time. I feel so crazy constantly poking and prodding my breasts and worried when I don't feel sick, but I have done a lot of reading and a lot of women say its normal. Once our hcg rises we get use to it, theb we have another surge and all our symptoms toms come rushing back. Its nice to not feel alone in this. I can't wait for my first scan. Not until the middle of march when I will be 6 weeks and 3 days. Feeling excited and nervous. how far along are you? I think I will feel more at ease once I see heartbeat and baby

 

[Stacey_89]

Well i kept bugging my doctor and he gave in and rang early pregnancy unit who have booked me for a scan for Tuesday, ill be 9 wks 4 days when i have my scan. Im 8wks 5 days today so im not bothering with my bloods now. Plus they take days to get back to you so i wont find out till monday anywy.
Yeah everyone says its normal for symptoms to come and go. Iv heard if ppls symptoms going away for couple weeks and then come back or some lucky ones there symptoms dont come back.
But after miscarriages its a constant worry for us and dont think alot of people understand the worry

Glad your hcg went up!! Glad you posted bc I'm 5 weeks and also afraid bc I too am having no symptoms and this is what hapoened when I had a mc in November. I thought for sure when I got regnant again id feel different than I did in nov but I don't so I'm worried. Dr appt is on the 12th. It's not like my symptoms went away - I still haven't gotten any. No sore boobs not bloated or tired. I had a very easy pregnancy with my daughter so maybe I'm lucky?? I just want to feel something to assure this is a viable pregnancy

 

[jtyler612]

Elephant5740, I believe early in pregnancy as our hormones are fluctuating our symptoms do, too! On friday my hcg was at 70 and on monday, it was 280!! I have hcg and progesterone lab tomorrow and if it comes back good they will schedule my ultrasound for around the 15th. 5 weeks is still early and tbey say most symptoms peak at 6 weeks and I have read alot about some women not having any. I know its so hard to play this waiting game!

Stacy89, glad you were able to get your doctor to change your scan date!

Hi ladies!

I found out I'm pregnant today. I tested today at 13 dpo and it was an obvious positive...like immediate and dark! It's so unreal to see something like that happen so easily when I have been trying to "will it" to happen for so long....I guess I thought if I concentrated harder or squinted just a little more, those two lines would magically appear. Well, they are finally here.

It took me about 9 months to get pregnant the first time and sadly, that ended in miscarriage. It has taken me about 1 year and 8 months to fall pregnant again so we are beyond excited and beyond worried. I just want this one to stick. Losing the first one was so hard, I can't imagine going through it 5 times!

I'm very sorry for all of your losses....

I had bloods done today so I should hear something about them tomorrow. I go again on Monday and will schedule an appointment as long as things are still going well. Oh, and I've been proding my bbs all day to gauge and compare the soreness. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Sorry for the long post. Good luck and maybe we can help keep each other sane through all of this.

lilsoybean, congratulations!!! I am so sorry for your loss , it is such a difficult thing to go through and when trying to conceive and getting pregnant after miscarriage is also an emotional roller coaster. I pray and hope all your labs look great! I know it's hard to be optimistic and not to worry. Keep me posted!!!

Thanks ladies! I haven't heard anything yet from doc ....I hate waiting! I've checked my phone, email, and online med. chart like a zillion times today. I just wish I could fast forward through the first trimester. How are you ladies doing today?

 

[lilsoybean]

So I got my bloods back today and my HCG was 303 which they said is pretty normal for early pregnancy and my Progesterone was 26.4 which they said is really good.

I'm just a little worried about the HCG level...wish it was a little higher

I guess I just have to hope for a big increase on Monday. I'm just extra nervous because I don't want to miscarry again.

 

[jtyler612]

lilsoybean your hcg is great for early pregnancy! as long as they are doubling!! congrats! My HCG yesterday went from 280 to 1070 in 3 days and I had ultrasound today for pelvic pain and I am 5 weeks and we saw the gestational sac and yolk sac and the specialist it all looks great and measuring perfectly! March 16th is next ultrasound where we should see baby and a heartbeat.

I just want to say congratulations to all you ladies and I am so sorry for all the losses you have been through. Me and my DH have been ttc baby number 1 since April 2011. In that time we have experienced 2 mc and had basic fertility tests as it took us awhile to conceive. All the tests came back normal and my FS thought if we had a problem it would be a recurrent mc issue. After my 2nd mc I felt like I was trying to get pg to have another loss so I could then qualify for any testing. I found out I was pg for a third time back in July and now I am 2 weeks from my due date. I know how nerve wracking being pg after a loss can be. And I don't know how many times I ran to the loo for a knicker check or prodded my boobs to see if they were still sore! Its a scary time. But as my pregnancy progressed it has got easier. I still worry now that something will go wrong. But try and take each day as it comes and say to yourself that today I am pregnant and grateful for the life I am carrying. That's what helped me. Good luck and I hope in a few months time you will all be cuddling your rainbows. I hope to be cuddling mine in a few weeks!

Flou, congratulations!!! Thank you for sharing your story!!! I am so sorry for your losses. Your story really helps me to relax a little more. My scan yesterday reassured me, too that the baby is growing properly and measuring right on time. I am so excited and so nervous, I'm scared to have this baby ripped away, too! But I pray and God has been comforting me and everytime I think something is wrong my hcg results come back perfect or my scan yesterday was perfect
Thank you, again! I am glad to hear you will be meeting your little one in a few weeks!!! Xx
