[hopingwaiting]

[nessaw]

Great news galvan! X

 

[hopingwaiting]

went for 1st appt today. They saw the sac and what they suspect is the fetal pole. It is measuring at 5 weeks 6 days so thats a plus. Got blood drawn today and will get it again on thursday and monday to make sure they are going up

I had some bright red bleeding yesterday, it started at about 6pm. It was like a light period. My RE had me get a progesterone shot plus 400mg suppositories. Then, I took my regular 400mg dose at night. At midnight the bleeding had stopped. I have some pink ting on the TP at times, but nothing else.

My new symptom thanks to all the progesterone and peanut butter: constipation. GRRR!

I am going to my RE today to get checked out, and will get pics this time!!

Galvan - great, great news! Definitely one hurdle down. Bring on the next!

Hoping - it's probably a bit early for the heart beat but let us know how it goes!!

Mrspat - welcome! I'm so sorry for your losses. TTC and pregnancy are such emotional roller coasters. I'm praying so hard for a stick bean for you this time around.

AFM, I'm going through weird mental phases of one minute - everything will be fine, trust in God and what is mean to be will be and then the next minute - freaking out that I will find blood when I pee or that this will be a blighted ovum. Ugh. Talk about a roller coaster! I did take a progression pic yesterday which helped a little. Top test is wondfo @ 10 dpo (fmu). Then FRERs at 11 & 13 dpo (around 7 pm). Bottom test is wondfo yesterday (16 dpo, smu).

I never got a dark positive on the HCG strips, Chippy. When do you go to the Dr?

 

[Sis4Us]

Just stalking until I get my 2nd beta Tom ladies!!!

My HCG was only 6 P 11 yesterday so I'm taking 600mg of P now instead of the 200mg I was taking and hoping and hoping

 

[chippyslady]

Hoping - that sounds like a great first appointment!

Sis - how many dpo are you? The waiting is torture, isn't it?

Galvan - since this is my second child, ob wants to see me at 8 weeks so my first appointment and ultrasound is on September 2nd. I hope August flies by!!!

 

[GalvanBaby]

Sis, congrats on your BFP!!! Praying your betas are great!!

Chippy, hopefully, it flys by for the both of us! I want to be in 2nd tri so bad. 1st tri is nerve wrecking!

AFM, So I am still bleeding, it is closer to spotting than flow though. I decided not to drive the 4 hours to my RE, and found an OB here that is high risk and was recommended by a friend who was high risk. She saw me immediately. My cervix is 100% closed, uterus is growing, and i have some blood. She prescribed me meds to relax my uterus so it won't contract, meds for constipation(wonderful progesterone), and she said to stick to 200 mg progesterone per day. I am ordered strict bedrest for the next 3 days. I go for blood work tomorrow, prenatal and another beta. Then, I go to see her Friday unless the bleeding hasn't stopped by Thursday. U/s Monday!

Chippy I'm 13-14dpo today I think!!

I believe I joined this forum preemptively

AF was 7 days late. I've been testing since 2 days before she was due, all negative.

I found out I was pregnant in April, so I was really excited about having a baby in my arms a year later. That pregnancy sadly ended in mc at the end of May. The worst part is that I have no idea what happened. I literally started spotting one day, no cramps or anything, went to the ER, and saw my baby's heart beating away and the doctor even said "everything looks perfect!". Not 12 hours later after things unmistakably went south, I had to go back to the ER and they did a second us to find an empty uterus from a complete miscarriage.

We have been trying ever since, but I just can't seem to get pregnant again. I had no trouble at all the first time, and I was hoping I would be extra fertile after the mc. But AF just showed up today, after delaying a week when I had all the symptoms and hope of a new pregnancy. Nature can be so cruel.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm 24, so my doctor doesn't even want to do any kind of testing or anything becuase I have "so much time on my side." Ughhh it's so frustrating.

#sorry
#neededtovent

 

[chippyslady]

Blonde - I'm so, so sorry to hear of your struggles. We have all been there and know how empty, lonely and frustrated it can make you feel. Is there another OB or fertility specialist in your area that you can see? While you being so young is a great thing, I don't think that should stand in your way of getting to the bottom of any problems you might be having reproductively. And don't apologize about venting, that is what we are here for! Sending you big hugs and saying lots of prayers!

 

[nessaw]

Am so sorry blonde. Huge hugs. I wish I could say something to make it better.x

 

[GalvanBaby]

Blonde,

AFM, I have been 14 hours with no bleeding! I went and did bloods this morning. I will get the results around 3pmCST. I am so nervous to see the HCG #, but can't wait at the same time. LOL They should be above 2000 now.

I want to wish all of you ladies the best of luck in your pregnancies. Unfortunately the timing isnt right for me.
Dr confirmed my fears yesterday, but I had a feeling from the start that this bean was not sticking.
It took me 8 months to get here after our loss, and only got to stay for 2 weeks. I am confident I will be back soon. I hope you all dont mind if I peek in on your april babies from time to time just to see how ya'll are doing.

Dr thinks maybe my progesterone is low during pregnancy but my temp never went to low so im not sure, but I will try it and see if it helps next time.

again Good Luck to you all

 

[GalvanBaby]

Tennessee. I pray you get your rainbow baby very soon. You will be in my prayers.

 

[chippyslady]

Oh Tennessee, my heart broke as I read your post. I absolutely know without a doubt, you will have your rainbow baby soon! Take very good care and please, please let us know how you are getting on!

 

[Sis4Us]

[Munchkin30]
