Miss priss, what an awful and overwhelming day. I truly hope everything is just fine and it was some crappy tests

 

[misspriss]

Well, after I told the president of the company that I would take B plan, leaving end of November, it's a weight off my chest. I feel much better. It's really in God's hands right now (I am religious). I will leave early, have blood work done, and know in the morning if the numbers say anything. No amount of worrying will help.

 

[ttc126]

I ended up calling the dr about my spotting. It's a new ob for me so i didn't know if they'd even see me or say wait till next week (my appt is next Monday).

Well the nurse got me in within 30 minutes. I had a scan and praise the Lord i saw my healthy bean measuring on track with a hb of about 135. That's lower than my son's , but I'm hoping it's fine.

Then i saw the on call dr and really really liked him and the whole office. They think the spotting might be from carrying my son everywhere but said that shouldn't cause a miscarriage.

Thank you all for your thoughts, reassuring words and prayers today. I'm very relieved. And as a bonus i got something for my nausea...

how many weeks along are you?
sometimes the heartbeat is slower at first and then speeds up around 7-8 weeks

 

[misspriss]

That's great ttc!

 

[EMYJC]

Miss priss I feel in your limbo land right now and completely empathise. I'm dreading my bloods and results on Thursday. My sac was only 4mm. At very earliest off my dtd times etc id be 4 weeks 6 days. That'd be a miracle tho as only had sex that day nowhere before for like 6 days. Just clinging to that tiny white dot I saw hoping it's something.
I will say a prayer for you tonight miss priss and for everyone else, a happy healthy 9 months. You're all helping me through this so much right now xxx

That sounds like a crazy day misspriss but it sounds like you made a positive decision for you and your family. Fingers crossed for great results, I don't always understand beta numbers because we don't routinely have blood tests measuring hgc in the UK unless its ivf or other specialised circumstances. I'm guessing high is good? What's the standard numbers for like 4 Weeks along? Or doesn't it work like that? There's definitely some things I long for like an early scan! I know I could always pay but we're gonna need every penny for my mat leave if all goes to plan so I'm trying to think positive, and wait until 12 Weeks x x

yes high is good and low is bad per say
here is a list of the average levels by how far along someone is
https://www.babymed.com/hcg-level-in-early-pregnancy

but really what matters is if its doubling every 48hrs
or 72 after you reach a certain number and like 90something after you reach a super high number

 

[misspriss]

Thank you Emy, I'd be 4w2d according to when I think I o'd based on CM, we DTD a lot though, if I'd O'd earlier I might be closer to 5 weeks. I doubt they will do a scan as I am only set to come in for labs, not to see the actual doctor. However, if the results are promising, they may have me come right in. I appreciate you prayers as you will be in mine as well.

I don't expect any "standard numbers" I'm just hoping something 100+, as anything greater than 5 is considered "pregnant" if it's super low I would worry, but if it's anything +, they will probably have me in for a repeat and see if it increases. It's not so much the number, it's whether or not it increases.

Misspriss what an.overwhelming day for you but it sounds like you have made a positive choice for your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope you get the results you want x

Ttc great news!! You must feel so relieved It's wonderful to see that little fluttering hb x

EMY keeping all my fingers crossed for your result hun xx

 

[EMYJC]

Mine was 1761 yesterday. Praying to god it's a lot higher come Thursday! Whatever the outcomes we are all here for each other hey x

 

[jmandrews]

Jmandrews, definitely go from the date of ovulation and NOT the date of your lmp. Your ovulation date, if known, will be much more accurate – going off of your lmp will only date you correctly if you have a regular 28 day cycle and 14 luteal phase, and not everyone has that.

Misspriss, I’m hoping for the best for you! I don’t think you have an ectopic pregnancy, though, because you’re not spotting. Also, in ectopics, HCG levels rise slowly – they don’t usually double, and they don’t go down. I worried about it myself since I had spotting and sharp pain off to one side, but my midwife told me that in ectopics the pain is constant and continues to get worse. Cysts are also common in early pregnancy, will cause occasional pain to one side, and will go away on their own.

Thank you!

Thanks Bridget. I'm 7+1 today. With my son his hb was 189 at 8+2 so I'm sure it's right on track.

Hope you have a good scan on Thursday!

 

[ttc126]

Thank you everyone for all your encouragement I'm very relieved.

EMY, I'm praying you see something good from your little dot. It sounds like if your ov dates were off then you could very well be earlier. Hope your bloods rise nicely tomorrow

Miss Priss, that's great and positive attitude. I'm praying for you to get good results from this afternoon.

 

[misspriss]

Well, I leave in 10 minutes to have my bloods drawn. I think I will spend the next 10 minutes and the entire ride there praying for the outcome. Thank you everyone!

 

[bridgetboo62]

misspriss
do you get the results right away?
or does it take a few hours?
good luck!

ttc your welcome!
and im sooo excited and impatient for my scan

 

[maisie78]

Well it's 10pm here so I'm off to bed as sure little miss will have me up at 0530

Misspriss hope everything goes well with your bloods.
EMY don't lose hope then hun because I don't think my hcg can have been higher than that on Saturday. They said it was over 1000 but not by how much but if it had been closer or over 2000 sure they would have said that xx

Goodnight all xx

 

[swanxxsong]

MissPriss and EMY, am thinking and praying for you both.

jmandrews: I'm going off my O, since I know when I O, then I won't be concerned if they say, "well you're measuring behind" because if I am measuring close to what *I* know I should be, it doesn't matter what date they go off of -- I didn't O when they think I did, and I know it.

 

[bridgetboo62]

i must have ovulated late
because i have 30-31 day cycles and my LMP started april 26th or 27th
and all of the ovulation predictors say i should ovulate around cycle day 17 or 18
which would have been may 11th, 12th or 13th
but the only time we DTD was about 3am on the 15th which would have been cycle day 20

do judging by that i would only be 6 + 4 days not 7 + 2
but im really hoping when i get my scan im not measuring behind 7 + 2
its already taking forever being set back would be horrible
