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

[Oasis717]

Hi ladies, I just found out yesterday that I'm expecting again, this is straight after my last loss, no AF in between, we weren't trying but weren't preventing either, I've had 6 losses altogether the furthest along was nearly 13 weeks. I had 3 losses then my son then another 3 losses and here I am again, I'm trying to remain positive, unfortunately my doctor won't do any tests and I had to refer myself to the epu last cycle for an early scan so if I make it to 6 weeks I will be ringing and asking for a scan, wishing us all luck! Xxx

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!

Thank you so much for sharing! What great advice. It immediately made me feel a little more relaxed. I've been sooo nervous and scared. I hope everything continues to go well for you. Thanks again!

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.

Yay for an early perfect scan! How exciting! Thanks for the reassurance!

Oasis717, congratulations! I am so sorry for your losses!! I am sorry you're having a hard time getting lab work. Do you see a specialist or regular obgyn?

Thank you, lilsoybean!! I have been so scared still. I will feel better once we see heartbeat, my pregnancy symptoms still come and go and it worries me when they aren't around. I hope you're doing well and hanging in there

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you and no unfortunately not, my doctor won't recommend me for anything not even a scan, if I hadn't self referred to the epu last month I wouldn't of even had a scan and this doc is my new doc! I'm going to wait and if I make it to 6 weeks I'll self refer again for a scan hopefully around 7 weeks. I thought it was all over yesterday as I started having beige cm which is how all my losses start but no bleeding as yet, AF due tomorrow, nothing I can do but wait, its so hard! Good progression on tests so far but still v few symptoms other than v sore boobs since yest . how is everyone else doing? Xx

 

[lilsoybean]

How is everyone? So far, so good for me. Just trying to take it one day at a time. My HCG went from 303 to 2,080. I'm going in for an early ultrasound next Wed. when I should be about 6 weeks. I threw up a couple times today so I think that's good. I almost had a panic attack yesterday when I start having mild cramps. They subsided though. I'm just trying to be thankful for each day.

Hi hunni, fantastic hcg results wow! I wish my doc was willing to give me blood tests all I've got are my tests! But they are darker than last time ATM, if I get to 6 weeks I'll call epu for a scan. Here is my test from yest 15dpo. I know I panicked when I had coloured cm Sunday and Monday but its completely clear since. I thought it was all over xxx

Oh poor thing! I know the anxiety you must have felt. I have been so very anxious at times. It's almost impossible to concentrate on anything else. I'm just so scared to lose it since last time I lost my pregnancy, it took me 1 year and 8 months to get pregnant again.

I'm glad the CM has cleared up though!!

 

[Oasis717]

Thankyou Oh that's such a very long time this bfp is so special for you! I know its so hard not to worry! I can't wait til I can get a scan xx

 

[LunaBean]

Good luck 2mro!

 

[Oasis717]

How is everyone? My boobs are getting increasingly sore so hoping that's a good sign but not much else, tired and feel pmt moods, I didn't start feeling ill til 6 weeks with my healthy pregnancies, 5 weeks tomorrow so a bit of a wait til I can have a scan, good luck to anyone having one xx

Hello ladies, I'm sorry I haven't responded. I have been busy but I hope you're all doing well!! My symptoms seem to come and go and all the reading I do online says that's normal. I was just started on progesterone suppositories. Endometrin 100 mg twice a day. My progesterone went from 20 to 14.5. My hcg was still rising nicely when it was checked 5 days ago. It went from 1070, to 12,900 in 5 days, it was doubling every 1.7 days so it was good. I have an ultrasound today. I am 6+3 and I am so nervous and hoping to see heartbeat. Last ultrasound I was 5 weeks and we saw gestational sac and yolk sac. I am so scared we won't see baby or heartbeat!

Praying for a great scan for you today! Your numbers sound so great and I'm sure everything will be fine. My first scan is on Thursday at 6 weeks so I can understand how nervous you are because I will be the same way come Thursday. Please let us know how it goes!

how did your scans go jtyler612 and lilsoybean

I just found out I am pregnant this week so I am about 4 weeks 4 days I think and I am freaking out I am so scared I will get no symptoms and it will be another MC

normally for me I get MS and strong food aversions and when I do all is ok with baby, but two times I did not I mc so now I am so worried that I wont get strong symptoms by 6 weeks and I will know that is not good if at 6 weeks I don't.

I can get an early scan at 6 weeks, but that wont reassure me unless they do a follow up one and I get to see if baby has grown, as it is normally 6 weeks if it going wrong it does!

I have had some symptoms think they were nearly stronger before I found out but nothing yesterday I am actually here praying I begin to feel sick bring it on I do not care how sick I am I will take it no complaints I just really want this baby and not sure how I would handle another mc
pregnancy after a loss is so scary

 

[jtyler612]

Sorry I haven't posted been working a lot. Scan went great! I am now 7 weeks 1 day. I was 6 weeks 3 days and baby's heartbeat was 120!! I hope you're all doing well. Lilsoybean how did your scan go? CelticNiamh how are you feeling? My symptoms come and go. Especially earlier on. Some days I was fine and other days so sick and exhausted and horrible breast tenderness. My fingers are crossed for you!!!

 

[CelticNiamh]

jtyler612 that is great so happy for you so lovely to read positive updates

I am ok I am ranging between all will be ok to all wont be! and I guess it is normal so trying to stay positive as best I can and not let my fears get the better of me. it is early yet so plenty of time for ms to come a knocking

for now I am testing to check my line is getting darker that will keep me going for now till my scan I am very tired though

 

[LunaBean]

Thats great news!! Im 6+4 and sooo sick :/ next scan wednesday at 7 weeks

 

[jtyler612]

Thank you, Ladies!!! Positive thoughts and prayers to you both!! I know the waiting is the hardest part!! It's hard to be positive especially in the early stages when it's hard to tell how things are going.

 

[lilsoybean]

Hey! Glad to hear all the positive news. My first scan went well. We heard the heartbeat at 5+6. The heart rate was 150 so I'm going back tomorrow to check that it has sped up. Doc said she was 100% not worried since sometimes they don't even hear a heartbeat so early, but of course it's been all I can focus on. So now I'm nervous all over again for tomorrow but am trying to stay positive and trust the docs. I would be grateful for any and all positive thoughts and prayers!! I will update later!!
