Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[BERDC99]

I got my blood test results... hcg is up to 1200! Yeah! So here is my progression:

11dpo: 30
13dpo: 138
17dpo: 1200

My doubling time slowed from 21 hrs to 26hrs, but still seems to be rising nicely. I have an U/S scheduled for Feb 20th. The nurse said I could have one anytime after 10 days from now, but the lady scheduling said the earliest they could get me in was the 20th It seems like such a long wait! Almost 3 more weeks! Oh and it is possible that the dpo's are off by a day, they are probably more like 10, 12, and 16...

Those are great numbers! Dont worry 2/20 will be here soon enough.

Berdc... I know with my first 2 I heard the hb between 8 and 9 weeks. But have been now reading that you can't hear it til 16 weeks. I am positive I heard it at my second apt with both kids and at my first apt I was 5- 6 weeks dated by us and came back 2 weeks later for my next apt with dd and 4 weeks with ds. So I was 8 weeks with dd and 9 weeks with ds. Based on that I thought that was normal. I didn't research anything with the first 2 lol now that I spend hours searching the net with this one I have found that isn't the case. The midwife did say last time they would probably check at my next apt. So my fingers are crossed. I won't make it till 13 weeks without a glimmer of hope and my next us won't be until 20 wks. May have to tell them I am panicking again. Not knowing if my baby is alright will kill me. It's all I think about. Was so excited about tomorrow because i thought I would hear the hb and am now crushed because I may not. It's more then just hearing it. It's reassurance to get me through the next 4 weeks.

Numbers are fabulous Twinkie. So very very happy for you. Can't wait for the us pics.

Ok so I decided to call the drs office and ask because I figured if they weren't going to check I wouldn't drag the kids. They said they check at every apt from 8 weeks on. She also said about 75 percent of the time they here the hb at a 8 or 9 week apt unless the woman is severely overweight. So I have a shot for tomorrow. Yay. Hope they find it.

I hope they do find it for your sake. When is you next ultrasound? My next one will be at 19 weeks. It is going to kill me to wait 7 weeks after tomorrow to see my bean again.

 

[mailcmm]

They only do 1 us at 20 weeks. I only got the first one cause I freaked out. Lol so I have 11 more weeks. Don't know how I will survive. Praying we hear something tomorrow. It's been 3 weeks since my us and I am already nervous again.

 

[Twinkie210]

I think I had 2 U/S's with DS, one at 12 weeks and one at 20... That is great that they check the heartbeat so early mail! My Dr. doesn't see patient until 10 weeks, so you don't get to hear the hb until then...

Since I don't get my U/S until almost 8 weeks there should only be 2 weeks between my U/S and my first OB appt.

 

[mailcmm]

It seems that most of the people on this site get an us at 12 and 20. Not here. Only one big one. Totally sucks. Lol

 

[Twinkie210]

I am going off memory though, because it was 9 years ago and I don't really remember much, but I know I had 2 U/S's. I have no idea how many I will get this time, I have different insurance so I am sure that plays a factor in it.

 

[mailcmm]

I can get as many as I want monetarily. They just don't do tests. Driving me insane. Although with my first 2 I had an us to sat at 5-6 weeks and only got another at 20 wks. So not really different. Just my stress level has changed lol

Hi ladies... looks like I'll be leaving you all a bit early....

I had some pink/brown spotting this afternoon during clinical as well as some cramps. I freaked out, absolutely panicked and just about lost my mind. So, my instructor was kind enough to take me down to the emergency room...

My spotting has really calmed down, as well as my cramps. But... the doctor ran my beta hcg levels.... and they didn't come out well at all. As I am right now, I'm only sitting at 32.
My numbers are so unbelievably low, it's not even funny. The doctors are pretty sure that I'm either miscarrying or having another ectopic pregnancy. I don't even know where to begin with expressing in how much emotional agony I'm in right now. I just don't understand how this could happen to me twice!!! It's unbelievable.

 

[mailcmm]

Oh colta I am so terribly sorry. This is heartbreaking news. What are they doing as far as monitoring the situation. I hope your numbers just start doubling and that everything is fine. You didn't get a positive test until late. Maybe because the baby implanted late that is why your numbers are low and the bleeding is just ib. Pinkish/Brown isn't bad. I truly hope the dr is wrong. When do you see your dr?

Praying for you colta! Your numbers are in the normal range for how far along you are. Remember that it's not the number that's important, it's the doubling. Hang in there!

I go back to the doctor on Friday.... I'll have another beta and an ultrasound to see whether or not it's ectopic.
I'm heartbroken, I can't even think right now... I have no hope.

I'm not sure that could even remotely be called normal... everything I've looked up has said that it's too low.

It's nice to see that website Motor... but I just can't work up the energy to feel any kind of hope right now. This has been such a horrible day, from start to finish... I just want this to all be over, me and DH are completely destroyed.

So sorry colta. I will be praying for good news for you Friday.

Colta-I have my Fx for you girl. Your numbers are low, but if they double you could be around 120. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Remember all of us have been in your shoes and it always helps to talk about your feelings. We are here for you day or night!

 

[Twinkie210]

colta, I am so sorry. I hope the Dr. is wrong and your little bean just was late implanting.
