Early MC, ectopic, here we go again

[TheTiebreaker]

Hey I was wondering what your cramps were like when you first found out you were pregnant? I still haven't started my period (I am 12 dpo), but I am having lots of cramps. They feel very similar to AF type cramps. I am just really achy. I am going to test tomorrow morning if I don't start before then.

They were achy and i was bloated. Idk if the back pain was related or just a pulled muscle but that was so bad that i laid in bed w a heating bed on my lower back for hours. Fingers crossed for you!

Ok thanks! I took a test today and it was a bfp!!! I am so shocked and excited! I have been having cramps and that makes me nervous. They are like you described, achy. I also feel bloated. I got my first blood draw today and go back Thursday and Saturday. Really hoping they double like they should! I'll post a pic of my test. How are things going for you?

I am also having some minor lower back pain. I hope it's normal for both of us. Today was 13 dpo.

Wow! Congratulations!! As far as I know Im still pregnant. I have another appt on march 22. Im not getting hcg checked anymore. Good luck to you!

Thanks!!! I am very surprised and excited. Nervous for my blood work. Hoping your appointment goes good!!!

Got my blood work results back and my hcg is at 80. Hoping it doubles tomorrow!!!

Did you get your hcg level done again?

 

[TheTiebreaker]

I did. They went up from 88 to 188.3. My dr is happy with that, but I have to continue getting bloods till my levels are at 5,000 then I'll get an ultrasound. I hope it doesn't take too long. I am feeling a few symptoms, but not much. Just want to feel pregnant, so I know everything is ok.

How are you doing???

My doctor only followed mone until the hcg was 3000. Maybe you should ask about that. I'm definitely feeling pregnant, nausea has kicked in and its all day.

 

[TheTiebreaker]

Yeah I am not sure why they want to follow it so high and why I have to wait so long to get an ultrasound. I was really hoping to get it next week. It will probably be another two weeks till my levels are that high. 😕They good thing is I am not having any pain or spotting, so that is reassuring. So sorry about the nausea! Hopefully it doesn't last too long!

Is everything still going well with you?

 

[TheTiebreaker]

It's going pretty good. I had an ultrasound last Monday. They saw a yolk sac, but no fetal pole yet as it was too early. I have another ultrasound tomorrow afternoon. I haven't been having much morning sickness, so I am pretty nervous. Just want it to be time for my ultrasound already. How have things been going for you?

 

[glovities]

Hows everything? I am 17 weeks now. I'll be 35 but I deliver so they did extensive genetic testing and I know I'm already having a boy. I have two boys already so that is cool. I was feeling terribly sick and depressed for the first trimester. The hormones were not my friend. I'm finally feeling Good again. I hope everything is going well for you

Glad you are feeling better!!! Congrats on the little boy! I am doing good! I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow. At my 13 week ultrasound the tech said she is fairly sure it's a girl. We were hoping for another boy, but are just happy the baby is healthy.
