XxX

Never - I don't know Take a look at my chart below and see what you think. It looks like O on CD 20 but the betas are kinda high for that so maybe it was earlier. I thought I missed my window not BDing 4th of July weekend, but I am not sure when it happened. The 4+4 was based on my LMP which was June 21st.

honey, just curious if you're OK with sharing -- what'd they say about your blood work? When I was bleeding (no clots though) they decided I was not m/c solely on my blood work and just sent me home without even an u/s.

 

[Bibliophile]

Would you like twins? I've always wanted them but I'm a little torn now because I can't have the type of prenatal care or the birth I want if I get them- and they run in my family, so it's a possibility.

I've done really well not symptom spotting... Until today. Lol. Today's been so odd. I might give in tomorrow after all.

They didn't say much about my blood work. My hcg was almost 11,000 which my RE said was good for 5+6 and my progesterone was still in a good range. I was originally supposed to go for an ultrasound next week but for some reason he called back yesterday afternoon and asked me to come this morning. I don't know why though. Maybe it was my blood work results?

 

[BeachChica]

Honey - looking forward to hearing about your exam.

 

[mommylov]

good morning girls!

Hope everyone is well.

Honey, anxiously awaiting news about your appt.

:wave: to everyone

AFM~ Got more depressing news yesterday. Just when I thought my luck cant get any worse....

So got the results back from DH's bloodwrok we had done 2.5 weeks ago and everything is fine except for he has Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Desease. They told me that they want me to get tested for this to make sure Im not a carrier as well but I guess what he has is a rare form. From my understanding, kids that are born with the dominant usually dont live pasa few hours to a few weeks after birth. I asked the nurse if this could cause MC's and she wasnt sure. We set up a genetic counseling session for this Sunday to get more information about this and see what this actually means for us. Im the meantime, I did go and get my blood drawn yesterday but the results will take even longer thigs time because they have to test my blood and then match it to my dh. Im PRAYING that Im not a carrier as well or this may mean the end of ttc. I know I might be getting ahead of myself and that I dont know all about this yet but Im so worried. Id love to hear anyone's thoughts on this or if anyone has heard of this or anyone dealing with this while ttc.

Hi girls,
Not really sure what to make of my news. Had my appointment this morning, the ultrasound showed a yolk and gestational sak that is measuring 5+4 which is right in line with where I am date wise. The U/S tech said that everything looked good. The doctor though was a little concerned because my betas from yesterday were 21,936 which doubled nicely from Tuesdays appointment but he said over 15,000 we should see a fetal pole and heartbeat. He is just hoping the lab is using an extra sensitive assay and that the numbers may really not be that high. I have another U/S scheduled next week on Thursday so we'll see what happens then. Ugh!

 

[honeyprayer]

I have my next ultrasound on Thursday too Beach I'm sure you'll see your heartbeat then. Maybe it's just forming now?

My betas were almost 11,000 on Wednesday at 830am and not sure what they were yesterday when I had my ultrasound at 930am, but we were able to see a teeny tiny embryo and heartbeat, but I was measuring 6+1. So if you are only measuring 5+4, in a few days you'll have that heartbeat! I dont think HCG levels mean much as they vary so much from woman to woman.

Just be comforted in knowing that you are right where you are supposed to be, your levels are doubling nicely and you got that yolk sac! Heartbeat is coming very soon

 

[mommylov]

Beach, it might just be too soon to see your LO's heart beating. I hope that you are able to see the little flicker at your next appt!

 

[NewToAllThis]

Beach- , I think its still too early hun. I know its easy for me to say, but try not to worry too much. Your numbers are doubling as they should be. Its just the wait that's so hard and I can sympathise with you.

Big hug

Strange they'd diagnose you with a m/c with betas/progesterone that high. I thought m/cs happened because a progesterone drop signals it. I'm glad it all worked out. How was your appointment this morning?

 

[cruise]

mommylov -- ugh, what horrible news. I hope these chromosomal test results turn out well for you. Are you willing to consider IVF + genetic testing?

beach -- you see a h/b at 6 weeks of development, 5+4 is too early. Sounds like your doctor is trying to correlate your beta to where you are in development. I find that doctors do not take it seriously when you tell them "I ovulated on so-and-so date so I'm X weeks and Y days." I'm sure your betas are just high for where you are now, nothing more nothing less.

 

[mommylov]

Thanks Cruise. I think we would have to see how much ins would cover. I heard it can be $30,000-$40,000 to do that! Yikes!

 

[Nicki123]

Hey Beach - I agree with the ladies, I've always been told you shouldn't expect to see a hb before 6 weeks so I think it's just early. When will you go back for another scan?

Mommy you really don't need all this extra worry. massive I'm sure the chances are slim but I know it's still worrying. Take care x

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks girls! I was surprised they were scanning me this early anyways. I don't know why he said that to make me worry. I definitely know when my LMP was. I am going to ((try)) to not think much about it and see what happens next week. I have my next u/s booked on Thursday.

Mommy - sorry I missed your post. I have never heard of how that affects fertility. I think the chances of you having it are slim so I hope everything will be ok for you. Does that gene affect your husbands health or is he just a carrier for it? I had a cat that had Polycystic Kidney Disease so I read up a lot on it when I was dealing with that. It's a terrible disease.

 

[Bibliophile]

I didn't say much yesterday, but I had a serious freak out last night. Lol. I was crampy and CRAZY thirsty and I have slept horribly all week but had loads of energy and really gassy (lol, sorry). I couldn't figure out exactly what, but something yesterday felt so familiar (maybe just the combo of all of that?) and everything hit me all at once. Remembering how scary it is beginning the minute you get that positive again after a loss. I had a good long moment of wondering what in the world we're thinking. Hubby's still gone and I pretty much called him sobbing. Poor guy.
And today I'm exhausted on top of all of that and still up & down emotionally. (I took 2 naps! 2! Both were 2ish hours! Ridiculous.)
I did test this morning and there was not even a hint of a line. But I didn't test early with either of the m/cs, so I don't know if I'm one to get a positive before I'm late. Gah.

 

[BeachChica]

Hi girls :wave: just popping in fora quick hello!

Biblio- any updates?

Honey - how are you feeling?

 

[Neversaynever]

Beach...how frustrating I'd try and ignore the betas for now although your test was so dark it's probably hard not to ignore your right on track to be seeing yolk and gestation sac at 5+4 so hold onto that. Keep us posted for Thursday

Biblio...any more tests/news?

Mommy...that sucks ass balls hoping it doesn't interfere with your journey to your rainbow

How's everyone else doing?

:hugs, love, and whatever's

XxX

 

[Bibliophile]

No, I thought about testing this morning. But I think I'm just going to try to wait it out at this point & if AF hasn't shown up by Wednesday, I'll test then. I did sleep for 12 hours last night though. Lol! I was in bed before 7.
