April Diamonds!! [2016 Rainbows]

[Lala77]

Ok ... Put me down for April 15! I'm having trouble sleeping. I'm hoping 3 times a charm. I'm really trying not to stress but having two MCs this year is shadowing my excitement. I almost tested again today to see if the FRER line got darker but I stopped myself. During my two MCs I spent a college tuition on FRER tests and CB digital (which never moved to 2-3 weeks pregnant). I've decided to leave testing in the hands of our fertility specialist TRY and just think each day TODAY IM PREGNANT AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY. I'm so glad to have other people in this boat with me and I really really hope we all end up in April with warm cuddly bundles.

Lala- we need to be buddies. I too had 2 mmc last year and am freaking out every day that I'm not still preg. I've taken over 20 preg tests since last Tuesday. And I also can't sleep. Insomnia and heartburn are my only symptoms. Please keep in touch. I'd say try not to stress but I know that's not possible. Have you had a beta drawn yet?

I'm going in today! So far I have only tested 08/04 Tuesday and got my BFP. I'm really, really going to try and relax. I actually have to force myself at times to take deep breaths. Sophie, I need buddies. ... Lots of buddies :0) I went swimming yesterday to try and relax and sleep better. Didn't help! Is insomnia a symptom???

 

[Sophie2015]

I have no idea!! I've never had insomnia with my other 2 pregnancies!! I swear reading your posts I think I could have written it!! Let me know when you get your beta result. Will it be tomorrow? I'm going to call my dr. I've had 2 great betas but I think I need a 3rd just to calm myself down.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Good luck at your betas Lala!! Can't wait to hear the numbers!!

I go in for my first OB appt today, mainly just a consult about what care I want and going over tests results and getting a blood panel done. We also have to have our Genetic Screening form done to see if we need genetic testing (We do, but we have to redo it with each pregnancy) and we'll schedule that as well today.

I had a nightmare last night about going to the Dr because I was bleeding and my Progesterone was at 5 and my HCG Beta was at 1. Now I can't get my stomach to stop hurting out of stress.

I have insomnia anyway (its a side effect of a sleep disorder I have called Non-24) so I can't say that its DEFINITELY a symptom but the excitement and stress can definitely keep you from sleeping.

Navy ... I hope things go well with the doctor ... That sounds like a pretty terrible nightmare :0( so ... I'm feeling nervous about my BETA numbers:

BETA HSG 69
Progesterone 18

If I ovulated CD 19 and today would be CD 31 ... Are those good numbers? They sound low ... All the nurse said is that I have to come back Friday morning for a second test. She that will tell us more.

Lala- sent you a PM

 

[NavyLadybug]

Lala, one number on its own doesn't mean much but here is a chart to help ease your mind 69 is a good number though and your Progesterone is good as well

AFM: A VERY hectic day today. My HCG is up to 950 from last Fridays 90 so that's amazing but my Progesterone is only 5 which is very low . Had an US but there was nothing but since my exact O date is iffy it could simply be way to early so I got back next week for a repeat HCG and another scan. My son also had an accident in the Drs office during my appt and ended up in that hospitals ER and left with 4 stitches.

 

[Sophie2015]

NavyLady- That progesterone is way too low. Did they not start you on Progesterone?! My ob and RE both start it for anything less than 20. How far along do you think you are?

 

[Lala77]

Oh navy what a day!! I hope your son is ok!! So what is a normal progesterone? Have they started you on anything? Your HCG number sounds amazing!

 

[NavyLadybug]

They believe I am 3 weeks past Ovulation, which is also where I believe I am so they think my P still has time to come up. They're retesting me next week but I am getting a phone call today from my specialist on what she thinks about it. With my son I didn't get on P til 8 weeks.

Lala, normal P for this stage is 6-10 at minimum.

 

[Lala77]

Good to hear ... Wish me luck for tomorrow! I'm planning on going to my parents house straight from work so if I get bad news I'm not alone. My husband is pretty much away all weekend :0/. I told my hubby that if I don't get 138 or higher I'm going to be a mess :0(

 

[NavyLadybug]

I'm sure everything will be great, Lala!!



I got an email from my Dr this morning, they gave me a sort of preliminary date set on when they suspect I may have O'd, they suspect it was between July 17th - 19th (I had a large temp drop on the 17th, so that definitely supports that) Making me just shy of 3 weeks post O and just under a normal 5 weeks if I had actually had a normal LMP date. They want me to have a repeat P and HCG drawing like they already said, and to still go ahead with the scan next Thurs. They also may do ANOTHER repeat scan the week after that depending on what my numbers are looking at and I'm still supposed to be getting a call from my specialist about my P levels from last week

With the dates they gave me, I would have been 4+4 yesterday, so no sac would have been visable. I'm trying to stay hopeful with this new information.
I want to jump for joy but at the same time, they said things could have been hopeful in June so I'm still scared. But I'm trying to stay as calm as I can

 

[Lala77]

I hope things go well! Definitely keep us posted :0) I will let you guys know tomorrow how my HCG level is :0)

 

[NavyLadybug]

Looking forward to see in those great numbers!

 

[Lala77]

Eek! So I have my first bit of brown spotting. It upsets me because I had that with my first MC. They kept telling me it's "Old Blood" and not to worry :0( I guess the numbers are what's important today. Wish me luck.

 

[Sophie2015]

Suddenly panicked I'm going to lose this baby too. Having a 3rd beta today for reassurance. So worried.

Lala- I'm so sorry. I know how stressful that is!!!

 

[NavyLadybug]

I know it's stressful but I had spotting with my son and everything was perfect with him! So Fx'd your numbers are fantastic and that its just a bit of old blood that took its time to be on its way!

I took another weeks estimator test (I didn't want it going to waste, they're expensive) and it says 2-3 so now I'm worried. I know I SHOULDN'T be but I am. Now I'm gonna be a nervous wreck til next next Thurs when I have my scan and my next beta (which should be over 15,000) but my last MMC my levels never got past 2100 so I'm freaking out.

 

[Lala77]

I had the nastiest blood lady today. Grrrrrr! I'm drinking a lot of water. Supposedly it helps with the cramping and spotting. I really hoping its true what they say that each pregnancy is different. With my daughter I had no spotting. With MC #1 the spotting and cramping got worse and worse until I MC'd. With MC #2 I never spotted but had tugging and pulling. Then I had an US which showed just a sac with no fetal pole or heartbeat at 8 weeks. I had NO pregnancy symptoms. I want my boobs to hurt ... I want to puke ... I want to be exhausted.

I will be keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

 

[NavyLadybug]

I hate when I get nasty/grumpy medical staff, Lala!

I was really sick at the beginning of this week but now it seems like my symptoms are dropping off and that combined with my test is seriously freaking me out big time.
