April Diamonds!! [2016 Rainbows]

Thanks for making me feel better ladies. My appointment is Sept 1st.

KozmikKitten- how far along are you?

 

[KozmikKitten]

I'm 4+6 by my ovulation date calculation

 

[jtink28]

that's great, kozmik! extra progesterone can't hurt!

 

[NavyLadybug]

WOW!!! Great first number for HCG!!! You'll almost definitely see a HB at your scan, Kozmik!

Also, very true on the P, youre in normal range but its true that extra never hurt! What is she putting you on?

Taber- my only symptom, breast tenderness , disappeared last weekend 4 days before my scan and I FREAKED because that also happened to me with my first mmc. But everythg was fine. Try to remember this pregnancy is not like your last one and don't compare it. At least that's the advice my Dr keeps giving me!

Kozmik- My Dr also treats for anything under 20. Both my Dr's do - OB and RE. Progesterone can fluctuate throughout the day esp after meals it can drop. It's what keeps you from starting your period so if it's low normal and it drops you could have bleeding etc. So my Dr's want it higher to hopefully help prevent mc etc

 

[KozmikKitten]

Navy - do you mean what medication or dosage? I am not sure ( I don't have the note with me right now)

 

[NavyLadybug]

Both, I'm on Crinone 8% (Which is 90mg) which is a Progesterone Gel you insert into the vagina (like a tampon, but gel instead of cotton)

I don't necessarily believe that hcg correlates with hearing a hb. Unfortunately my last pregnancy my hcg was close to 50,000 and no heartbeat at my appt. it was an awful day.

I had a similar experience with my 2nd mmc. Great betas, great progesterone, no HB, measured a week behind. It was terrible. And it was also why my great numbers this time weren't reassuring.

I was the same way. I was at 49000 when we discovered development stopped.

 

[firsttimer123]

Fingers crossed this time we all see heart beats!

 

[NavyLadybug]

So I tried my doppler again, twice (after a 20 mins search) I found a beat that registered 135+ before losing it and having to "chase" after it, which very much reminded me of my Dr doing the same with my son at about 7/8 weeks in his office. He was about to give up when he finally found it with DS. I got a few other beats registered but I know they were mine as they were in the 90s and correlated with the beat I felt in my chest. So I'm wanting to be hopeful that I did find beans HB but I'm still scared that it's not.

 

[NDTaber9211]

I should be around 6+6 when I go in for my scan. Is that far enough along to see a heart beat?

 

[NavyLadybug]

Most likely Taber, some women don't see a heartbeat until 8 weeks, which is normal, but a majority of women see one at the 6/7 week mark I saw DS at 6+2 for the first time

 

[NavyLadybug]

Feeling off today, not sure if its off in a good way or bad but just off. Every time I breathe I get mild but sharp pulls in my pelvic/pubic area and I feel a tightness/heaviness as well. It's odd.

 

[firsttimer123]

Is your doctor open Saturday's ? Could call just for reassurance

 

[NavyLadybug]

No, they aren't but the nurse line is. All they'll do is tell me to watch for blood or extreme pain and wait it out til my appt on Fri

If your dates are firm then yes you should see a HB. GL!!!!

 

[ksierra44]

Only one more week until my ultrasound. I'm terrified they aren't gonna see the right growth. I'm already a week behind and my levels were taking 80 hours to double. They saw a yolk last time but that was it. I'm freaking out realizing that its only a short week away but at the same time its so far to not have any answers.

My doc said hcg should double within 72 hours so thats not much different at all than what you have

 

[ksierra44]

How can you figure out EDD by ovulation? I think i ovulated early i had the symtpoms a full week before expected O and if my expected O was correct I would have gotten a great BFP on DPO 8...
