Hola girlies!
Long day today! Finally home and dead tired. Backache too. Urgh!
Just wanted to check in on everyone--especially Colta and Twinkie. I was also checking for Moter and TV's updates.
I'm so tired that I keep forgetting/neglecting to make the u/s appointment for next week. Doc told me last Thursday to make one for 2 weeks from then. Yikes! Hope there are still some appointments available for Friday afternoon. That's only day hubby can make it without taking off work.
Laters! My eyelids hurt!

Nothing really to update on... things are pretty much at a stand still. My bleeding has kind of been like a light AF... no major cramps (just off and on bitty cramps)... had another two clots this afternoon, but again with no pain...
I dunno... the bleeding, like I said, is like a really light AF... but it's pink, not red... so I'm taking that as a good sign.
Still have pregnancy symptoms.... really sore/swollen boobs, major fatigue, nausea (especially w/ my prenatals) and my skin is clearing up... So, nothing really to report.
How is everyone else?

Just went and looked at my previous chart from when I had the ectopic pregnancy... During that time, there was a point where I started bleeding really heavily and passing a lot of clots with A LOT of cramping... This was around CD40 of that cycle....
Well ladies, I'm on CD 42 of this cycle today... so I passed that crappy milestone. Now, I just need to last 10 more days and I'll be past the CD from last time that I was diagnosed and treated for an ectopic.
I take passing these milestones with relatively mild (in my current opinion) issues as a really good sign!
Plus... my temp is still WAY the heck up there... whereas if I was miscarrying, more the likely it would have started to drop.

Morning ladies! Not alot to update you on, spotting is still there every now and then but more like brown CM. I haven't been posting much because I have been so tired that I pretty much go straight to bed when I get home from work. I think I have been averaging 12 hrs of sleep a night!

Not sure... I go see my Dr today (in about 20mins actually)... so I guess I'll find out then. Probably tomorrow though. But yeah, right now I'm feeling good... all of the sudden, today I feel really positive about the whole thing. Which is more then I can say for how I felt the past week. So yeah, just going to relax and enjoy my day. Hopefully I'll get less doom and gloom at the appointment.

Well... my Dr has changed his mind again. Now he doesn't think I'm having an ectopic pregnancy and he simply confused.
I told him about my mothers and grandmothers history as far as bleeding through their pregnancies and he said that I could just be following along and have a similar pregnancy to theirs or I could be having an early miscarriage.
Since I've had no real cramping and things haven't gotten worse, I'm inclined to disagree with the miscarriage idea.
I took another FRER (still waiting for my nifty tests to arrive) to compare with a previous one I took and it's SO much darker and the line is coming up WAY faster... so I'm going to take this all as a good omen and just relax.

Glad to hear he doesn't think it is ectopic, hopefully it is just taking a little while for your bean to settle in.

I don't think he's too concerned one way or another what happens. I think I'm going to start looking into other doctors... The one I'm with doesn't seem to listen or care about patient concerns and jumps the gun/changes his mind WAY too much.I do think it's standard practice to do bloods the way they are doing yours. With my chemical they did bloods two days apart at first then once a week. If I really wanted to though they would have let me do bloods every two days. Hope you get this all figured out soon with good news coltaWell... my Dr has changed his mind again. Now he doesn't think I'm having an ectopic pregnancy and he simply confused.

Colta... Not trying to be the doom and gloom voice, but during my mc I had similar problems with my dr. Actually with my drs partner because my dr wouldn't even see me. Finally after freaking out at the hospital and having them page him his partner saw me. The only reason I even bothered was because no other dr office would take me. They said since I was a patient of one dr they couldn't take me because i was a liability due to qthe threatened mc. So you may be stuck with this dr until the outcome is decided.
I am glad he doesn't think it is ectopic. My mc was and early mc. Started spotting at 4+4 and my hcg stopped doubling at 6wk. I had no cramps, no clots and very little bleeding, but I spotted daily during this time. The dr said it was a missed mc and did a d and c to make sure to get all the tissue out. We never saw anything on an us. Had one at 4+4 and at 6wk. No gestational sac or anything. My numbers at 6wks stopped doubling at 600. Dr had told me at the start that my numbers were too low for a viable pregnancy but that as long as they doubled there was a slim chance that everything might have suddenly turned out ok. They doubled every 48 hours for 2 weeks. Overall my experience was like a chemical but with high hcg. After the d and c they checked my numbers once a week until they hit zero to ensure they got everything. I feel the d and c is the only reason I was able to get pregnant this time. I called it going to womb stage one.
My advice is ride your drs office. Make sure they are giving you the care you need and deserve right now. Not like they are gonna draw the blood. The lab will do that. That being said there is nothing your dr can do right now. He can't see anything and can't help anything. It's a waiting game. I know getting my hcg results was the only thing that kept me calm. Maybe for you the week wil be better. Everybody is different. I was told by several different drs that staying off my feet as much as possible and drinking lots of water were the only things I could do. So I did. I never got out of bed except to pee and drank 1 gallon of water daily.
Fxed that it all turns out ok. Can't wait for Wednesday to see how your numbers look. Maybe they wil be high enough for an us.

Moter.. Just looked at your chart. Yes I am a total stalker. Lol looks like you will get your crosshairs tomorrow on cd 12. Tww!! Fx fx fx for you.
Tv... How about you? Did you have a positive opk?
Berdc... Dead people in 3 days. I can't wait to see the fallout from Sophia. I am gonna cry all over again.
Menb... How goes it? Did you sleep well last night?. Lol you seem to pass out every night.
Twinkie. Brown is good or so they say. Hope it stops soon.
Afm... I am really bummed about my back. Was hoping I would make it thru these 9mo without too much added pain but I am officially looking at 9mo of hell. Two days ago my right big toe went numb. I just figured it would go away. By last night the top of my foot was numb. I have occasionally over the last couple of weeks getting a sharp pain on my right side. It goes around to my back and buttock. Well now it is moving down my thigh. Turns out my sciatic nerve is pinched. And because I have numbness it is bad. Possibly to the point of permanent damage. So they are gonna monitor it for the next couple of weeks but I am probably going to have to go to physical therapy.i wish I had finished finding out exactly what was wrong with my back before ttc. Now there is no real help or relief. Next major worry is if my foot goes completely numb I won't be able to work. Will cross that bridge when I get there though. So we shall see. They did say after birth it should all clear up and my baby is worth a few months of agonizing pain.
