Morning all babybaba hun fx for you - as others have said it happens a lot in early pregnancy and if it was one of us you'd be saying the same thing - we all know how you feel so im sending you lots of sticky dust and thinking of you xxx :fairy:

Moved too quickly in bed last night and got a sharp pain in my groin - freaked me out totally but I think it was just that everything is losening down there - have had nothing else since and I refuse to dwell on it. Bubsta - totally get what you are saying

Olive lovely to see you so excited xx

Mizze xx

Well, I've decided to add a ticker. I couldnt bring myself to use the one that I used last time (even though I probably prefer that one) but I somehow feel like I'm tempting fate... Or I'd be constantly reminded of last time. Had a chat to Hubby and we both agree to really try to enjoy this time and not focus on the 'what if's(whilst not being in denial).
Feels a bit more real adding a ticker! Yay! Xx

 

[Taurus8484]

Know how you feel. I want to add a ticker but don't want to jinx it.

Hi All!

Babybaba, I can totally understand how frightening spotting was, but as long as you have not cramps, or continue to bleed, all is well.

I heard back from hospital, I am going to be prescribed 75mg aspirin and cyclogest 400 pvnocte(progesterone) to try to help me as i've had 3 early losses-is anyone else taking anything? I've read some good success stories about progesterone, so heres hoping it helps me. know every case is different, but happy this time there is something extra that may help things.

Symptoms today include saliva mouth(but no nausea) and mild diarrhea(TMI, i know) has anyone else got this? not sure if its something i ate or not!

Mizze good for you with PMA-we all need it! and all that nausea is apparently a good sign

Olivelove-great to hear you are getting on well with doctor, and you can plan delivery you want! I have used up all my tests, and am itching to buy more, but visiting doc tomor so Hcg should do...... Also frustrated that digital tests don;t go higher than 3+ weeks!!! i want to see it progress to 4 and 5 weeks!!! Might ask doc to do regular bloods to keep me sane. or less insane!

I reread a part of a book i got after last MC, and I have to say i still love this one line that 25% of pregnancies end in MC, and that after 3 the risk only goes up to 28%. YAY! don't google for other stats. this is my favorite! And the book was written by specialist, so fairly sure its legit!

I'm on progesterone too since I did IUI. I've also heard it helps in sustaining pregnancy.

Sarena - my friend on here, Embo, just had Max after 4 losses. She was on cyclogest this time too
Quick note though - she had pink spotting the first couple of weeks of using it and then again when she stopped which is apparently normal but worried her hugely at the time! Just thought that might be useful info.

Bubsta loving the ticker! Think i'll feel the same about not using the same one - not even slightly brave enough to get one yet though!!
Taurus thanks chick. I've posted my story in here, ttc, ttc after loss, wtt, and stillbirth,neonatal loss & sids so is very likely you have seen it somewhere!! The stories are in my siggy if anyone would like to read.
Olive - so glad to see your dr was a big help and you can get the birth you want on your insurance. Thanks for the test offer - accidentally bought a few more today so we'll see how they go first thanks!!
Mizze i used to get that sort of pain all the time - sort of sharp pulling? I think its round ligament pain and is a good sign - means things are moving and growing in there!
Babybaba hope things have settled for you now like the others have said, brown blood isn't uncommon. Will be keeping everything crossed gor you honey.
Raelynn what is old bay?!?! Olive what are sour patches??
Hi to everyone else i've missed. :wave:
Off to bed now. Night night bump buddies.

Old Bay is a seasoning for crabs here in Maryland but it is also excellent on fries!

[TwoRdue]

Hi all, I have been on this forum for a wile but new to this chat.
I miscarried my twins just over 6 months ago when I was 18 weeks along, my OH and I decided to give the IVF another go and here I am four weeks pregnant with the last embryo we had. I get my first lot of beta today so I am hoping they are good as had morning sickness the past couple of days ect..

 

[Taurus8484]

Hi TwoRdue,

Welcome, fingers crossed you get sticky bean this time xx

 

[OliveLove]

Hi everyone, so my beta results were bad.. it was only 139, so on the low side. There's still hope in seeing if it doubles in a couple of days, but I have a strong feeling this is it. That's why I was panicking so badly yesterday, because I just felt it..

Here's the range if anyone is interested:

Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml

Were they your first bloods OliveLove??? How many days DPO are you???

And your right, I work in a Lab and we look for doubling time, not necessarily the results themselves.

I had mine yesterday at 15DPO and they were 202.5

I am at 17 DPO. Is there still chance? Do people get low results like that?

Yes, those were my first results and blood work!

 

[raelynn]

Olive - When I had my beta done at 15 DPO they said that they were looking for anything above 50 so you're fine. I've heard of people with much lower betas and they were fine. It is really the doubling that matters most.

 

[Taurus8484]

As raelynn said, it really is the doubling time. You can have a high hcg level at 17DPO but if they dont double in the recommended range of time, then chances are its not a viable pregnancy.

They arent great for 17DPO, I wont lie to you on that, also depends on when you implanted and even what time of the day you had your bloods done. Just as long as they double, thats what you need to focus on rather than the number.

That makes me feel so much better!

OOPS, sorry, I'm was actually 15 DPO! I had it done yesterday and I ovulated on the 10th. How is that then?

 

[Taurus8484]

Well that makes it better then, a lot better. And I know how hard this is because Im going through exactly the same thing as you at the moment, but relax............

And remember, its just a number at the moment, the next bloods will tell you the whole story........stay positive!!!

Aww..Good luck to us Yes, I've been googling all this time and apparently it's ok, as long as it doubles. I've been just so set on this baby not making it since day 1. I cannot shake this feeling no matter what. This morning I tested again after all those tests being light, and it was darkest of them all. It made me feel better for a good five minutes, and now back to stressing. I know I need to relax, but I don't think that's going to happen until I surpass 13th week.

I'm just not going to think about this until I get my blood test again, worrying won't do anything, what is supposed to happen will happen whether I worry or not.

Thank you for your support!
