Hibernation is certainly tempting!! You do get used to it but some days are worse than others!
 
Texmel your little is thr cutest in that pic <3


Had my second lot of bloods this morning, the doctor was lovely and wonderful and told me to not give up hope yet as she has a good feeling... I wish I did lol

I explained my anxiety around pregnancy due to my sons birth and she promised I would hear from her today with my numbers and a plan of action, whether it be medical intervention or another scan in a week... Regardless of the outcome, she's made me feel better about it all!

Either way I will know within the next 3 hours!
 
Texmel that is the cutest idea ever! I love it!!

Ameeann I'm praying your second result is another great number <3

We live in Alaska...wanna talk about cold, it's a low of 1 degree Fahrenheit today and a high of 8! It's so cold that it's hard to breathe in the air outside, so when you walk out of your house or a warm store and take that first breath it is instant pain in your chest like your lungs just froze, and yea people pretty much do hibernate all winter here, I plan to too :haha:
 
I'm afraid it's not, it's only risen by 500...i have another lot of bloods Monday, then probably a scan a few days later then I'll probably have to make a decision, the doctor said it's not common but she has seen cases where if didn't double the first time but did the second, I don't feel that'll be us though... I'm okay, obviously a bit sad and concerned for any future pregnancies, but at least now I have an idea of what's going on xx
 
Ameeann don't get too discouraged, this was only a 48 hour test, from what I understand once your numbers are as high as yours are it usually takes 72-96 hours to double. Thinking of you, hand in there! Are you still spotting?
 
Thank you, but of thats the case then they should have really gone up by at least 1000 but thank you, I'd rather admit defeat now tbh, plan for the worst and anything better is good I guess... Nope, no spotting, little bits of cramping here snd there and today my ms has been horrid (how torturous!) like I say though, I won't rush into any treatment I'll keep having thr blood tests and scans and go from there! My levels eith my second son were only 3400 at 5w3days too but his nearly doubled after the first test so we shall see Monday! Thank you for your reply lovely xxx
 
Ameeann I hope it’s just taking a bit of time for the numbers to increase. It can go slower the higher they get. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you.
 
Sorry that it wasn't better news Amee. Hoping for good news on Monday :hugs:
 
Thinking of you amee, hoping and praying for a little miracle for you. Hugs.
 
Super cute pic tex!

Sorry about the numbers amee. Hope you get better numbers next time.
 
Awwww sorry Amee, i understand your thinking, prepare for the worst etc. I really hope for better numbers on Monday :hugs: xx

TexMel, your wee boy is gorgeous, love his tshirt x

I think it is a great idea that you want to wait things out. I miscarried three times and the first two I let my doctor push me into a D&C. I completely regretted it later because I kept wondering - "what if?" With my third I let things happen naturally because I wanted to make sure that it really WAS a miscarriage. I had about three or four scans before I finally miscarried when I would have been 11 1/2 weeks. Hopefully you have a bean that is just having a hard time taking off and nothing more :hugs:

I think I'll keep getting my bloods done and scans and if numbers start to fall then I'll agree to intervention but not until I have solid proof anyway, the doctor was really supportive and said exactly the same which was nice!
 
Sorry to hear Ameeann but I have my fingers and toes crossed for you :flower:
 
I'm sorry it wasn't better news. ameeann. Glad you have found a supportive doctor. That does help things!
 
Well the metallic taste in my mouth FINALLY showed up today... at 6 weeks! Took it long enough! I hope this means that my hormones are rising as they should. I can't wait until my appointment on Tuesday. Only 2 more days. I really hope my doctor schedules me for an early ultrasound. I'm a nervous wreck lol.
 
Hey ladies, sorry been AWOL past few days! On top of uni, feeling exhausted and moody, I've just had a lot on my plate! Hope everyone across the pond had a great Thanksgiving! :flow:

TexMel - how cute is your LO with the Thanksgiving/announcement top!

ameeann - really sorry about your numbers :hugs: FX'd tomorrow's are much better :flow: x
 
Ameeann - Sorry to hear about the low numbers. I hope you see an increase!

lilmisscaviar - I had the metallic taste with my first LO. I haven't had it with this pregnancy yet. I keep waiting for it to show up!

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm feel like I'm just barely getting through. I've had my husband home for the past 4 days which has been wonderful! I'm dreading his return to work. We have an ultrasound on Tuesday morning. I'm so ready to have an official due date! Wondering has been making me crazy.
 
Happy Sunday ladies (or it’s sunday for me anyway. I’ve been so lazy and miserable feeling that I’ve done nothing all weekend. Today it will be a victory if I wash the sheets and do the laundry! My husband is at spin class (we used to go together and I miss it.. I miss feeling good and energetic and not sick!) and then luckily he will go pick up groceries, and he has plans with friends to watch sports this evening. I have plans to lay about and do nothing. It’s takinf a lot out of me physically (not to mention emotionally) to work a full time job and make it through the week so weekends I just let myself do nothing and try to rest and recover as much as I can.
