haiyouguize, are your levels going down or are they just being "slow"? What did your Dr's say?

 

[haiyouguize]

I haven't spoken to the doctors yet, they just posted the results in the app they have. I'll talk to the nurse this morning. I believe they're going down. Had some intense cramping start this morning.

Sweety, I went back to look at your tests dates and numbers, they are well within normal range both in number and in double time! Try not to fret to much (Its hard, I know) until you've spoken with your Drs and do not put stock into those Estimator tests! Cramping can also be normal due to two major things, your growing uterus and the fact that said uterus is now putting pressure on your digestive tract. SUPER TMI but I've found that 90% of the cramps I've had since I found out I was pregnant was from either gas or I needed to "go", which is not normal for me but is common with pregnancy. Please let us know how the talk with your Dr goes!

You're 6+2 today correct? Making you roughly 3-4 weeks from O/Conception.

Oh shoot I misread what you wrote. I thought you said you had 3+ hcg (or in my head 3000) and it went down to 2700. I'm with navy. I think your numbers are within range. Let us know what the doctor says.

I'm slightly upset this morning. My in-laws and I have a strained relationship to put it lightly. I get along FABULOUSLY with his grandmother, but with everyone else its difficult (His father wasn't pleased that she treats me like a daughter, not an in-law or a granddaughter) We have broken the pregnancy news to parents and grandparents (we did that weeks ago) and everyone is cautiously optimistic. This morning I was chatting with them and keeping everyone up to date on everything and I off handedly said, "I sorta hope its twins, I've always wanted twins." and immediately the air just sort of turned frigid. His father responded by saying that I shouldn't be greedy and his wife (Who is my husbands step-mother) said that a twin wouldn't replace the baby I'd lost, one was all I needed. I was very upset, though to my credit I kept it together. I told them I knew it wouldn't (and it was never intended) to replace my lost child(ren) and that I wasn't greedy for having dreams of twins. I told them that unless they wanted to be in my Mother In Laws place to not suggest such things when my husband came home because in his eyes they were already on thin ice for various reasons.

(Just to sorta put the last part in context, my husband nor I have seen his mother in over 5 years and she has never seen, spoken to nor will she ever have contact with our children. She's legitimately crazy and quite frankly a danger. I've watched her do cocaine in front of her (then) 4 year old son and she even offered me a hit when I was 14 years old. Yes, DH and I have been together a good while haha)

Sorry I've been MIA this weekend ladies! I left my laptop in the office over the weekend accidentally and my phone is basically a dud (I had to order a new one this weekend and it should be here sometime this week).

I had my scan this morning and baby was measuring at 7w6d but since it's only 1 day off I'm not going to be changing anything, I'm still due the 4th lol. Baby also had a strong heartbeat of 163! I'm so relieved now. With my first I just ASSUMED the heartbeat would be there at the appointment and it was, but this time around after having a few losses I couldn't even think that optimistically.

I'm just so happy that everything looked good, it takes a huge weight off of my shoulders.

 

[NDTaber9211]

I can't believe they said that, that was really out of line. You handled yourself way better than I would have. I'm pretty sure I would have lost it. Being greedy....Psh! How horrible.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Woohoo, Zmzerbe!!!! Did you get to keep any pictures?!

Taber, I basically just ended the conversation after my little piece. I also told them that if they felt that way then I wouldn't continue to update them. Once I told his grandmother, I was upset and she was the first person I called, she was very PO'd and called him right after I got off the phone, I got an "apology" text 20 minutes later

 

[NDTaber9211]

Yay Zmzerbe!

 

[zmzerbe]

I did get some pics! I'm trying to figure out the best way to upload them since it asks for a url to the image. I got two pics of the baby, 1 pic of the heartbeat thing they do and then a little video clip of the heart beating

 

[NavyLadybug]

I use Imgur, you can upload it and then copy and paste the BBCode and it appears when you submit the message

 

[zmzerbe]

Here s/he is!
Does anyone know what all of the numbers and stuff mean?

Wonderful scan pics!!!!!

 

[firsttimer123]

Hey ladies feeling a little worried, had another beta today last Monday was 13200, today was a little over 52,000. My doctor didn't seem worried but it's def not doubling as fast. Like every 3.5 days when I put it into calculator :s

 

[NavyLadybug]

Don't worry firsttimer!! You're taking about 85 hours and not only were your levels higher than 6000 but you've also passed the 6 week mark correct? At both of those points, its completely normal and expected for your HCG to begin doubling every 96+ hours So your actually ahead of curve!

 

[KozmikKitten]

Just got second hcg levels back:
First: 3585
Today: 9240
MD said this is consistant with a pregnancy between 5-7 weeks. She expects to see a HB at the scan on Monday (even though I will only be 6+2).
Keeping fingers crossed!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Woohoo! Great numbers Kozmik!! Most of the time in a healthy pregnancy, HBs can be seen once HCG reaches 15000 and you'll definitely be at that level by then!!

 

[firsttimer123]

Yep navy I am 6+2 today... Hopefully everything is good, scan is next monday

 

[NavyLadybug]

I'm sure its all fine!

 

[ksierra44]

I'm so jealous ( and happy for) everyone getting scans already! I am so far behind everyone! I have another HCG test Friday so I'll get those results Monday. Seems like forever!
