Thank you all ladies. I'll be taking a break fora couple of days to sort myself out and things. But I'll be back probably after the weekend.
Navy, take your time. We all understand.
At work yesterday I felt dizzy and lost my footing a touch. The nurses checked my sugar which was fine. My blood pressure was really high according to the electrical arm cuff: 178/68 on one arm and 191/99 on my other arm. I went to my office and tried to relax and drink water. The nurse came in 10 minutes later with a manual blood pressure cuff and took my BP. It was 130/90 on one arm and 120/70 on the other arm. My typical blood pressure is 110/70 or at most 120/80. My husband called my ob/gyn and they told me to go home and rest through Monday. im not even 10 weeks pregnant yet!!! I'm already on synthroid for hypothyroidism and progesterone ... Now I have hypertension :0( I'm trying to relax but all of this is making me sooooo nervous. I bought my own electrical BP cuff off amazon it comes today. I am not even seeing my ob/gyn until next Friday.
Any advice or positive stories?

Navy, that sucks 
I am sorry that happened. We all know how hard it is, but you especially. I was really praying this would be the one. I do hope though that with the testing they might be able to figure out if there is a trigger for your losses and if so, maybe they can find a way to fix it.

Sorry lala I wish I had some advice for you.
Afm my anxiety is shooting through the roof. I've had no symptoms these last few days and have felt fantastic. This is exactly what happened right before we discovered my mmc last time. I still have 2 weeks until my next scan. I don't know what to do.

Lala- Rest and a low sodium diet. Read labels. You'd be surprised where sodium is hidden.
Taber- I hear ya! My next ultrasound isn't for almost 2 weeks and at 10 weeks now my few symptoms are less. It's unnerving because I also did this with my mmc's. No real advice. But I keep trying to focus on what I want instead of what I don't. Constantly visualizing a healthy baby growing every time I have thoughts of another loss.
Navy- Thinking of you always. Take all the time you need. I hope you find answers so you can have your rainbow baby soon.

Alright ladies, I need some help. The last few days I've been dealing with numbness in my arms and legs. At first it was in one arm, then it went away, yesterday it was in the opposite arm, it went away and today it's my leg! I think my leg is my sciatic nerve, I had a lot of sciatic pressure with my son, but not until later in the pregnancy.

The Red Cross is bringing my husband home. He'll be home by Monday to be here during my surgery. He's getting 2 weeks of emergency leave and then he goes back to work here at the yards instead of going back to the ship.

Zmzerbe- I have no clue what that could be. I say bring it up to your doctor. Sorry I'm not much help.

Had some bleeding and clots on Sat, but it stopped at the ER.
3 Appts today. First one is counselling and therapy at 10, then blood draws at 11 and an US at 1:30 to check if the bleeding caused me to pass fetal tissue (Unlikely as I stopped shortly before leaving the ER and have yet to bleed again.) D&C is tomorrow.

My son turned 2 years old today *sobs* he had an awesome birthday party yesterday, but I can't believe how big and old he is We also announced our pregnancy yesterday. I couldn't wait any longer, it was killing me. I think I announced at 8 weeks with Chance, my losses made me skeptical this time though.

Hi ladies. I had some bleeding yesterday so I went for scan today. The ultrasound showed a very active baby measuring 5 days ahead! At 11+4 but also showed a 1cm bleed spot next to the amniotic sac. Does anyone have experience of this that can give me some hope or info etc? Thanks xx

Anyone else constantly worried? 10+4 today and feel like I'm waiting for something to go wrong. I guess my history of mmc's has me on edge and I don't think I'll ever relax.
Also my progesterone level has dropped although my OB says it's fine it still worries me. I'll be so glad for my next scan next Tuesday.

Youngmam, I believe thats called a subchronic hematoma, here is a link:

Sophie, now that you're 10+, it can be normal for your P to drop off just a little as your placenta begins to take over.
AFM: Surgery in an hour and half. I'm honestly scared out of my mind.

Navy- you are truly a special and sweet person to check in on us after what you've been through and will go thru today. You have been constantly in my thoughts since late last week. I know you've been down this road too many times before but I have as well. Message me anytime. As you know the procedure itself is a piece of cake. I'm praying for comfort and for answers today. Please update us when you are able. Much love and hugs.
