LTTTC-after loss-TWW...

[barbikins]

Nimbec, yes from my anatomy scan - all is going perfectly!

So sorry ladies about the bfn's

Mowat, all is going well I see?

 

[mowat]

No news is good news? I guess. Still feeling pregnant so I guess that is a good thing! My last three losses have been detected at the u/s after always having good betas, so it's all about waiting here. Occasionally have a bad day, but most days I can feel somewhat optimistic. Can't ask for more than that!

Are you staying team yellow Barb? I found out last time, but this time I think I'll try the surprise.

 

[Sis4Us]

Mowat just click on the Siggy should take u to the page

AFM not liking my test still saying PG 1-2 wks might have to do another beta B4 8/26!!

 

[butterflywolf]

Hey all. 2 dpo here. Trying to stay/keep busy. Trying to just take it as the days go by. It's fairly easy not to obsess at the moment since Claire keeps me busy.

Sis, try not to think too much about it. Though to help keep yourself calm on at least knowing it isn't Chem, get another beta done. I did last time because I was concerned it was only staying 1-2 weeks. It stayed that way for two weeks. However, try not to test (easier said than done. I should practice what I preach huh?) You'll only worry yourself. I know with Claire at 5 weeks 5 days I had a light spotting so I had gotten another draw. Found out that I was in the 7000's then.

Hoping for the best for you sis and mowat.

Barbs, read your journal and so excited for you. And wow...three years. Hard to imagine but it has been so long. And I do not think it silly to listen to a psychic. If they have only given you reasons to believe then it's wise to say to believe. If they had given wrong readings then it's fine to be skeptical. However, I would believe in yours since she has been right so many times before .

 

[barbikins]

mowat, I understand the fears. I feared every ultrasound, anticipating bad news. It's getting better & more so now that I can feel baby moving but I'm still apprehensive and wonder if some thing is wrong. That's the unfortunate thing about miscarriages.
They don't stay in the past. Do you have a date set for your u/s?

Yes we remain team yellow! My husband really wants it this way & at first I was totally on board. Now that I can know, I sorta wish I could know. However, I know how important it is to my husband so I'll give him that much

Sis, when was the last time you took the CB test? There are ranges for each weeks for where your HCG should be so you may still be in range of 1-2weeks. Are you not 1-2 weeks anymore? From conception?

Thanks, Butterfly! Yep today's 3 years...it's crazy to think. I miss her very much & would trade in the world for her to be here right now. It's been a difficult day but I'm getting through. I'm happy to be pregnant this time instead of once again having nothing. It makes it a little easier.
As for the psychic, yes you're right. And we'll see eh? If it's a girl, then she's got some talent LOL. She did an amazing reading on one of my best friends. It was quite eerie. She did a great job so far on my fertility reading but not my year long forecast. Where as she did a bang up job on the year's forecast for my BFF.

How are you doing this cycle? I wish you the best & for a sticky bean that'll be your take home baby. Any new protocols to help? Will you try progesterone or any other pregnancy supporting hormones?

 

[Sis4Us]

Last time 2 days after my last beta I got a 2-3wks well my beta then was 248 my beta Fri was 258 so I expected to see 2-3wks since its been 3 days since that draw!!

I'm already sitting at 6 draws so Im trying not to go but it's hard to not worry!!

My bet is Girl by Ur Scan nice round skull there

 

[barbikins]

LOL scull theory eh? I dunno about that one LOL But yes, it's a nice head indeed
I feel like it's a girl myself.

Sis, it's hard not to worry. I get it. I was there too in the first trimester.
I hope it's all good from here FX

 

[mowat]

"They don't stay in the past". Very well said Barb.

Scan is scheduled for next Wednesday. I could have had it this week, but I thought it might be a touch early. I'm going away for the weekend and frankly, I was afraid of bad news.

 

[barbikins]

I understand, Mowat. I wanted a scan the day I got a bfp LOL
I was always waiting for the next scan...and fearing the worst.
There's no real other way to deal with it. Just taking one day & one week at a time. From scan to scan. I had LOTS of scans! And went in paranoid and got more scans.
Will you be going to a local RE in your home town for all your appointments for first trimester?

 

[mowat]

We don't have any REs here. I guess I'm just going to the obstetrician---not sure if they want to see me at the fertility clinic again. I'm guessing since I'm so far away they would assume I wouldn't want to fly down again. They've gotten my two beta results and they've faxed my pharmacy prescriptions. Guess they're just waiting for the u/s like I am!

Hoping for the best Sis!

 

[barbikins]

Your OB should be able to take care of you well.
I hope you'll get lots of u/s at first given you've had your m/c.
Are you taking Estrace & Progesterone still?

 

[mowat]

Yup. And prednisone.

 

[Sis4Us]

Well as I suspected my HCG is going down so that's 3 in a row for me

Mowat how much prednisone are u on?? I insisted to my Dr I needed it but he wouldnt do it or HCG boost something has to give I cant keep going thru this

 

[eyemom]

Shanta that's awful I'm so sorry.

 

[mowat]

So sorry Sis. I'm on 10 mg a day. Are there any recurrent miscarriage specialists around you? So frustrating when it feels like you can't get any help. If this pregnancy doesn't work out I don't know what I'll do as no one seems to know what's wrong with me.

 

[wannabemummyb]

Shanta I'm so sorry hun x

 

[Sis4Us]

A friend in my Oldies group sent me her Drs info she's in Houston also so I will be calling them as it says they deal w Recurrent Loss so we will see!!!

I just know this PG played out just like my 1st loss so I knew it was iffy but was hoping I would get help but I didn't
I actually had prednisone for my back and took it a week when my numbers where doubling but my dr insisted I didn't need it or a HCG boost!!

We will see what the new dr has to say she's a woman so hopefully she will understand my concerns more!!

 

[nimbec]

Oh Shanta i'm so so sorry I'm pleased to hear tho that you have some options too see specialists. Hopefully they maybe able to sort this asap and you will have your forever baby soon x

 

[mowat]

Good luck with the doctor!

 

[barbikins]

Shanta, I'm so sorry. I hope you get some answers and can see someone about it.

Mowat, how are you getting on? Pregnancy symptoms?
When is your scan? It's coming up - this week?
