Tryin, like others have mentioned its probably to early to see until your next scan. Try and stay positive.

 

[ShamzLovesKai]

How did you get your scan date already Shamz? Mw hasn't even called me yet!

The antenatal clinic have got my referral now so they sent me out my booking in date and my scan date at the same time x

Hi everyone,

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from the nurse. My hcg went up to 10,600 (3752 two days prior) and progesterone is at 20. The internet seems to think that 20 is a little low but nurse says it is fine and seems really happy with my numbers. My first u/s will be July 1st. I'm so happy that I've made it to this point! I know things can still go wrong but I'm just taking a time out from the worry to be excited. So...Yay!

 

[laodicean]

Awesome numbers, Woofie, congrats!

 

[laodicean]

Also, what units are your progesterone measured in? In the UK we usually use nmol/L, whereas the US tends to use ng/mL. 20ng/mL equals about 64nmol/L, which is an awesome number! (Remember mine was 41nmol/L a few days ago, and you weren't telling me that was looking low )

Even if it's 20nmol/L, that's more than adequate to sustain a pregnancy - anything above 15 is considered normal.

 

[tryinNHouston]

Thanks ladies. I will do my best to remain positive!!!

 

[confuzion]

Amazing numbers woofie. Super fast doubling rate, especially for high hcg numbers. I'm going to predict twins! .

 

[babyfeva]

Great numbers Woofie!

How are you babyfeva? Has the spotting stopped?

How are you babyfeva? Has the spotting stopped?

Still spotting... freakin stressed out. I dont know what else to do. I dont feel pregnant at all. With my son I at least felt bloated by this point.

 

[confuzion]

are you having any cramps?

 

[babyfeva]

are you having any cramps?

No. I do feel some pressure/bloat only on my left side. Its almost as if its trapped air in there. If I press in it it kind of feels tender.

 

[RaspberryK]

I'm feeling rubbish, I'm feeling cheesed off that I already did this part this year now I'm doing it over. .
I feel sick, I hardly have any appetite, my cervix is tender, my bowel movements are erratic and awful.
I have cramps, pains, tenderness.
And my boobs... Oh my god.
Xx

It really doesn't sound like anything sinister is going on hon. You've seen the heartbeat twice and baby has grown, I feel pretty confident this is your take home baby. I know bleeding is always scary, especially after a loss, but it's pretty common.

Also, don't judge by symptoms. I know you've probably heard this a million times, but it is true: every pregnancy is different!

 

[anxious mommy]

Introducing myself. I've had two beautiful daughters, one who passed away at 2 years and 5 months 6 and half years ago. The other is a vivacious almost 5 year old. Between my two girls I had a chemical at 4 weeks and since then a mmc last year at 9 weeks, though the baby stopped growing at 5 weeks 5 days. This time we started out with a scare via some cramping and an initial no hb at 6 weeks 4 days, but it turns out I just ovulated late and was a week and a bit off on my dates. Got a healthy heartbeat at 7w4ds and am now 7w6ds. Happy sticky baby dust to all. My due date is Feb. 1, 2015.

Hi anxious mommy , welcome and so wonderful that you've seen the heartbeat .

Ras - I hear you about being annoyed to repeat this again. I feel like first tri is my purgatory. My dream is to make it out one day! My breasts are still sore but not as painful as they were. Still no nausea for me.

My goodness what a lot of heartbreak I'm so sorry!
Congratulations on your pregnancy though. Xx

I feel really ungrateful typing it, it's just first trimester is awful and I'm struggling to be positive right now.
pal is such a hard place to be for all of us, mmc are terrible they play tricks on us and instead of worrying about bleeding I'm worrying about having the baby die and I'm clueless.
On top of going through all the symptoms again.
