Those are Class C medications (Meaning considered safe, but risks can't be ruled out and is the same class as aspirin and Ibuprofen) and is the safest class where pregnancy is concerned. Definitely get in with your dentist, until then speak to your Dr and see if perhaps there is something he can give you that might be considered better or more effective.

936! My hcg doubled! It's definitely not residual from my d&c

Great news Taber!!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Woohoo, Taber!!!!! Wonderful news!!!

Only 1 Week and a day until my next ultrasound. I'm scared.

I bought a doppler as I said before and it's supposed to arrive early next week and I'll be almost 7 weeks when it arrives according to my Dr but I'll be 8 weeks according to O. I'm gonna try it, even though I know that even at 8 weeks it can be hard for even a Dr to find it but many women have reported being able to find it as early as 7 weeks. It's the Sonoline B which apparently knows the difference between the mothers heartbeat and the babys (based on the rate, since babies are much faster) so I'm hoping I can find it and little numbers appear on the screen.

I know some of you drink tea, so I thought I'd share this tidbit from my favorite app

Oh crap thanks for that. I've been drinking green tea in the mornings.

Google has me stressed. If I ovulated when I think I did I should be about 22dpo. People are writing that their hcg are in the 3-4 thousands by this time and I'm only 936. I also feel like all the symptoms I had are gone.

I know high numbers don't necessarily mean good. My numbers were 48000 when I miscarried. The lack out symptoms is what gets me. Them going away last time was the beginning of the end. I hate how freaked out I'm getting.

Taber, you an I are in the exact situation right now, both pregnant directly after a MC. My levels aren't high either but also remember that everyone and every pregnancy is different, especially if you aren't 100% sure of your O date. I was also in the 900s at your stage and my levels rose to 5000 in a week. Should have been 15000 to be considered perfect and "textbook" but its still within the normal range!

here's a chart that might help ease your mind. You're 5 weeks pregnant, so you're in the third row

This is by far one of the most stressful things ever.

That's navy, I hope you get the good news at your next scan!

Afm I feel better, I haven't had to take painkiller again! I'm soo paranoid about paracetamol even with my sons pregnancy I always avoided when I suffered from bad headaches in pregnancy but last night tooth pain was something else!

I hope I don't have to take painkillers again. I avoided the dentist because I know they will prescribe antibiotics and I want to avoid that also. I'm trying warm salt water gurgles and corsodyl gel. Hopefully that clears it up!

You could have implanted later... And someone wth higher could have implanted earlier. My hcg at 5+2 was 13200 but with my mmc it was 44,000 at 9 weeks... Substantially lower then where my doubling is leading me to this time... Every pg is different as long as it's doubling I think your okay!

 

[firsttimer123]

Taber also remember hcg doubles every 48, so you will be 1800 in 48, then 3600 then next! You will be high very soon... So every 2 days of a later implant could cause that

 

[NDTaber9211]

Thanks firsttimer. I wish I knew when I ovulated.

 

[firsttimer123]

No signs that cycle?

 

[KozmikKitten]

Need suggestions ladies - and you all are a great group to ask.

I am running a 5k for a foundation that provides supportive services to those who have had pregnancy and infant loss. I am starting a team and need suggestions on Team Names. FYI Our team will consist of men, women, those who have lost pregnancies, and those who have not, and are there for our support. Any ideas?! I'm terrible at this kind of thing!

 

[firsttimer123]

Rainbow runners

 

[ksierra44]

Although normal amd good cramping and hip pain sucks

 

[NavyLadybug]

Taber, once a level reaches 1000, the doubling time can increase to 96 hours in many women which is COMPLETELY normal.

I like Firsttimers suggestion of Rainbow Runners, perhaps Angel Runners as well?

 

[NDTaber9211]

I had signs of ovulation around July 29th. My doctor said she thinks I'm either end of 4th week or beginning of 5th. My first appointment is Sept 1st. I really hope we see a heart beat.

It's very possible that you could still be so early! Don't get yourself down yet!! Positive thoughts only lol.
