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

[BERDC99]

Berdc... Like you I don't think I will make it to sept. my first 2 were both 3+1 early. So I can't see how the 3rd will stay put til due date. I am guessing August 14. Lol did you tell your son yet? How did he take the news? 4 more days til the second trimester. So happy for you. It is cool our appt are the same day. I guess they will sty that way for a while. At least if we go back every 4 weeks.

I told him. He gave me a high five and asked when dinner was. Typical teenager! I cant wait to roll into the second trimester.

 

[mailcmm]

That is hysterical. Lol is raising a teenager as hard as most say it is? I am terrified.

 

[mailcmm]

Well guys... I am about down for the evening. I can't stay awake.

On a parting note... Colta you and your dh will be in our hearts and prayers. Hang in there girl. We are all here for you. Whether you want to post or pm please reach out if you need someone to talk to.

Well, I crashed before 7pm tonight (I guess last night). Didn't get anything done, so up now about to grade some papers, write an essay for grad school and plan a little for my kids today. So glad God has blessed me with the ability to pull things together for my students--otherwise, I'd feel so bad. The great thing is even while I'm resting or sleeping, I'm usually still thinking about them or planning activities for them. Alrighty...up n at em!!

Yay, my doc appointment is afterschool today!!

Hey all.... looks like I'm miscarrying for sure. I've had a lot more bleeding and cramping. Looks like this is the end of this.

Im so sorry

 

[colta]

Ugh... well ladies. I thought I was miscarrying for sure... now I have no idea what the hell is going on.
I had some rusty/red, watery spotting yesterday that seemed to be picking up... which was why I thought I was miscarrying. Now, I don't know what is going on. Yesterday when I had the spotting I had some cramps (af style cramps) and then late last night that all went away. I spotted enough to have a few drops on a pad and then nothing, it's tapered down to practically no spotting (just a slight tinge of brown when I wipe).

I'm so scared now... I'm so worried that this is another ectopic pregnancy and that there is something wrong with me structurally that won't allow me and DH to have children... I'm just a mess. I don't know how I'm going to last until tomorrow... and I probably won't even get any answers tomorrow! UGH.... I just wish this horrible experience was over. All I want is a healthy baby... why is that so damn difficult for me to achieve?

 

[Twinkie210]

colta- that is so horrible to be stuck in limbo and not know what is going on. (I had to wait weeks before my Dr. could diagnose my MC). I wonder why your Dr. won't do blood work today, that way you would have the results at your appt tomorrow? Today would be 48 hrs wouldn't it? I hope your Dr. can tell you something tomorrow.

 

[mailcmm]

Colta... Call your drs office and tell them you want to be seen today. They will get you in. They can do the bloodwork today and check your cervix. If they won't see you go into the office. Trust me they will see you. No sense prolonging this til Friday only to be told we will call you Monday with the results. Can you wait til Monday if they don't get with you Friday afternoon? If it were me I would be there this am when the office opened spot or not. Good luck girl hope this is nothing. Maybe a violent ib.

 

[mailcmm]

Menb... Good luck at the drs today! So excited for you.

At the moment, my ob is collaborating with an ER physician... so they want me to come in tomorrow morning for a bunch of tests... ultrasound, bloodwork, etc. When I go in tomorrow morning they'll take my blood and have the results in about an hour, so I won't have to wait for that... my ob likes to give 72hrs inbetween, says it's a more accurate picture of how the numbers move.
But yeah... I don't know whats going on. Near as I can tell... my cervix is still closed. It seems whenever I get up to do something or start walking around is when the spotting picks up or gets darker and the cramps kick in. I don't know what that seems to be the case... I don't know why any of this is happening. I just want things to work out for once... this is just killing me and DH, all we want is to start a family and try and fail twice in a row with no living children to comfort us is more then we can bear right now.

 

[mailcmm]

I am so sorry colta. Glad you won't have to wait on las though. We've all been through this and have read all the good and bad stories. Hopefully, it will all work out. Just try and relax, hydrate and stay in bed until tomorrow. Hopefully your numbers have more then doubled.

 

[BERDC99]

Colta-I hope you get answers tomorrow. If it is another ectopic I hope they go in and clean out any blockages so that you can have a baby of your own one day.

 

[menb]

Colta, this is what makes our group so special. We've all been there (some even more than once). So we know how you're feeling. Let's hope for the best right now!

Get back to bed with a tall glass of water and rest!!! We'll keep praying!

 

[BERDC99]

That is hysterical. Lol is raising a teenager as hard as most say it is? I am terrified.

Babies are so easy compaired to teenagers. Enjoy them while they are young because we they get older they want nothing to do with you unless you are buying them something or taking them somewhere they want to go.

 

[menb]

Wow! Quiet day on here, eh?!

I'm just leaving the doctor's office and things look good! I've only gained one pound, blood pressure is good, protein and sugar is good. I was a little dehydrated apparently, so more water for me. The doc was able to hear both little ones on the Doppler. Wahoo! Next u/s in 2 weeks. Calling to schedule it now!

Keep praying for us! One more milestone achieved! 10 weeks tomorrow!

 

[BERDC99]

Menb-How was your appointment?

 

[menb]

Checking in on ya, Colta! Hope you're resting!!!

 

[mailcmm]

That's awesome Menb. So glad it went well. Will keep on praying.

 

[colta]

Checking in on ya, Colta! Hope you're resting!!!

I've been resting as best I can... sitting around just isn't my thing, so I ended up pacing the house a bit. Bleeding kicked up a bunch, again this rusty kind of red. It's tapered back down to a brownish color and is lighter. Had some mild mild cramps along with it.
I don't know what to think at this point. Me and DH feel so far removed from the situation now... I don't know if we're in a state of denial, acceptance or just not functioning emotionally... It's a weird day.

 

[mailcmm]

I know it's hard but they really do say the best thing to do is stay off your feet. Tomorrow will be here before you know it. Still praying for you guys. Before I mc'dI was on bed rest for 2 weeks. It was awful but I can say that my bleeding was less and I wasn't as crampy. Fxd you good news tomorrow.
