A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[Neversaynever]

Gah..sorry for delay but no baby or induction today got down there and they felt my levels of protein, BP and baby was all done and no urgency to start and left it to us to decide what we wanted to do and I wanted to cook baby a little longer providing all the monitoring continues to go well

Soop... for your EDD

Emme....blah to that length of time waiting but good to have reassurance with the progesterone etc

Nicki..so sorry the witch turned up, I was like you..testing and saw it fading so was relieved when I bled rather than totally caught unaware. Still not nice so enjoy that takeaway, wine and whatever and be kind to yourself

Bumble...I'm eased your numbers have doubled...just a word of caution and apologies of this sounds negative you're highly unlikely to see anything with those levels alar from a thickened lining. I *think* levels have to be around 2000 to see a gestational sac but keep us posted

Im trying for our first baby... I am 27 years old, My husband and I have been married for about a year and half. We had a miscarriage (blighted ovum) in March. And we just found out I was pregnant on Friday, but was in the hospital Sunday night to find out my hcg was only at 33 at 16DPO, and to prepare myself for another miscarriage. So, this is what I am doing right now. Its awful and I dont wish this feeling upon anyone. I am completely hopeless after these two losses.

Hi Jcliff, I'm so sorry for what you're going through! I am on the April 2013 board so I saw you there. I saw this post and just had to respond... a beta of 33 at 16dpo is lower than average, but STILL totally within the normal range! I don't know why they would tell you to prepare for M/C without at least doing another to see if it's rising. Check out this page for normal levels - https://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html/ Even at 5 weeks pregnant levels can be as low as 18. Just wanted to offer you some hope....

In the case that it isn't going to happen, you are very welcome here.

 

[Jcliff]

thank you so much for the kind words...I am just expecting the worse, considering what I went through before. Id rather get all of my depression and sadness out now. Ive also taken two days off work thinking maybe I'd m/c soon, but nothing. I went for a second blood draw today and will get results tomorrow. I just know its not going to end well but I do have an appointment with a fertility specialist who can give me more information on why this keeps happening to me.

 

[Emmediva]

Bumble, I'm happy to see your numbers have doubled but I agree with NSN, it may be early to see anything but it may happen. I always go to Americanpregnacy.org when I have questions, the site is very informative
https://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html
A transvaginal ultrasound should be able to show at least a gestational sac once the hCG levels have reached between 1,000 - 2,000mIU/ml. Because levels can differentiate so much and conception dating can be wrong, a diagnosis should not be made by ultrasound findings until the hCG level has reached at least 2,000.
Good luck, your levels should be around 1200+

Andrea, I'm so happy your blood pressure & protein is where it should be an you didn't need to be induced bake that bun a little more

Nicki,

Jcliff, welcome to the thread, sorry about your previous mc & I hope you're not having another, what made you go to the hospital to get checked? Go to this site https://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html it gives you the levels, & while your's is low don't count yourself out just yet, if today's levels have doubled you may be fine. Let us know how it goes tomorrow.

Nicki, I love your positive outlook! You are so strong and determined and I'm sure that will lead you into a positive month this month or next!!

Bumble, time to be cautiously optimistic! What a happy ending this will be if those numbers keep doubling and you have a h & h 9 months!! Wishing you the best!!!

Thurl, how close are we time wise? I am now about 4 dpo or maybe 3, but I am going with 4.

Afm as mentioned 4 dpo and am already trying to plan when to test...I have 3 FRERs and 1 CVS brand early result. I am thinking saturday at 8 dpo, monday at 10 dpo, wednesday at 12 dpo and if no af then friday at 14 dpo. AF is very reliable to arrive at 14 dpo. I know even 8 dpo is early, but I wish i could test this friday (7dpo) because I have a very cute idea if was +. We are taking the 1953 oldsmobile rocket 88, classic car, to a fair and I would get a baby on board sticker and just let dh discover it. I know I know waaay too early!! I have been spoiled by getting bfp's soon after starting ttc in the past so I am really hoping I will be lucky again only to not end in mc or ectopic like the other 2 times.

 

[Sooperhans]

Welcome jcliff and fx'd for you x
Kmp that is a cute idea! Hope you get to do it. X
Never ah the twists and turns! I hope you can keep on baking for a bit and that they keep a close eye on you. I hope you can now get tour head around the labour and I wish you all the very best! Xxx

 

[Bumblebee2408]

Thanks girls we're just hoping we get a positive outcome from it so fingers crossed either way if its positive we're happy xxx

 

[BeachChica]

Good morning girls! Just trying to get caught up.

Never – Glad you get to keep on cookin’ for a while longer!! Will they monitor you more closely now?

Emme – sorry your appointment took so long but glad everything was great. Its so frustrating when doctors don’t have any consideration for your time. If you’re late they throw a fit but they can make you wait 2 hours to be seen and its no big deal!!! Ugh!!!

Nicki – sorry the witch got you!!!

Bumble – Hopefully things turn out ok. Have you seen the doctor during any of these betas? Have they said anything about the values? Good luck with your appointment next week!!

Soop – Hope you have a fabulous holiday to clear your head. I know the one I had in May did me a world of good!!!

Jcliff – Welcome and sorry for your loss. Did your doc think your HCG of 33 is low? It does not sound that low for 16 DPO if you had a late implanter. I think like Hopestruck said, they sound like they are in the normal range. Try to stay positive. How far along where you with your other loss?

Hopestruck – hope to get to meet you on the April 2013 board but not ready to go there yet. Maybe after my first scan on the 9th.

Kmp – FX for you this month!!! What a cute idea with the sign!!!

AFM - I got my beta results back from Monday and they are 2251!!! The results seemed high to me at first but they seem to be in line with the chart below. I would have been 4+3 when the bloods were taken. I am over the moon and now officially feel like I can start to embrace being pregnant!

LMP Weeks
from LMP

29 4w+1d Range: 100-200
30 4w+2d Range: 200-400
31 4w+3d Range: 400-1,000
32 4w+4d Range: 1,050-2,800
33 4w+5d Range: 1,440-3,760
34 4w+6d Range: 1,940-4,980

Still had some spotting again yesterday. The progesterone that comes out looks like a slight creamy orange or rust like color. Sorry TMI. I did some google searches some people mentioned the progesterone irritating your cervix. Most of what I ready sounds like everyone just keeps on taking it and everything seems to be fine. We will see what my doctor says next week. Hopefully everything is OK. I have another beta scheduled for tomorrow.

 

[Emmediva]

Yay Beach, those numbers sound great!! I think mine were like 1300 at 4+3 so you are doing great! As for the orange color from the progesterone, does the cream have a tint to it? My pills have a pinkish color and sometimes it shows up when I wipe and scares the hell outta me, even after I know what it is. The applicator may be touching the walls or you could have a yeast infection, I got it from using the progesterone and from what I read it's real common.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you Beach, not until Sep but i'd go tomorrow if I could! Fab about your levels, lovely lovely news x

 

[BeachChica]

Emme - no color to the progesterone. Its like a white tablet that you insert "up there". On my BFN cycles the discharge from it has always been creamy white, but this time I seem to have a bit of spotting mixed with it. The first bleed last week I chalked up to implantation bleeding and my RE said everything seemed to be fine, but I had more spotting yesterday.Ugh!

I would ask the doctor if your cervix is sensitive. That's what they told me caused my spotting/bleeding. If the progesterone is causing the spotting, you can ask for oral tablets, and just take it at night before bedtime.

Beach, congrats on your beta!!

 

[thurl30]

everyone

Never good to hear that you're going to be able to cook baby a bit longer, just as long as you are being closely monitored It's all getting so close now though

Nicki I'm sorry to hear af has arrived, I admire the way you're handling it though, and you might be extra fertile next cycle now, sending you lots of luck

Jcliff sorry to hear about your situation, fingers crossed for you

Bumble I don't really have any knowledge of what you're going through, but I'm sending you lots of luck and

Kmp I haven't ovulated yet, I like you're idea of putting the sign in the car wishing you lots of luck for testing time

Soop hope you're doing ok

Beach all sounds good so far I have everything crossed that this one is the one

to everyone I have missed

Afm I'm getting fed up! I'm on CD17 today, still no ovulation. My temp has consistently gone down the last couple of days, I don't know if that means anything, does anyone know?

 

[Emmediva]

Thurl, sometimes the temperature dives only to jump back up with ovulation, so you could be close. Good luck

 

[Neversaynever]

Just a quick selfish post apologies

My protein levels have gone up by 2 grams so induction tomorrow is highly likely

I'm completely at peace with it now unlike Monday night and hopefully my rainbow will be here by the weekend.

XxX

 

[Emmediva]

Andrea, I'm sorry your protein has gone up again, good thing that baby had a little more time to bake please keep us posted. I'll be thinking of you and praying everything goes by fast and safely.

 

[Tulip24]

Hi all.

Been ttc for 6 years & had 2 mc last year. Have pcos & was under the hospital. They did tests after losing the babies, but after finding no cause have now discharged me because I "can get pregnant". & to keep trying. The problem is I'm 34 my oh is 36, how long do we keep trying. Am feeling frustrated & debating whether I just need to accept that I'm not destined to be a mother. Do others feel this? how long do you keep trying before seeking help again?

 

[Neversaynever]

Tulip...look at my siggy..I'm 36 and my husband is 41. No testing done due to getting pregnant with this one..keep the hope and belief

Emme...thanks

Beach...don't push the pessary in so deep, it doesn't need to be near cervix

XxX
