MARCH 2014 Monkeys! - Please join if you're due in March 2014

I haven't had it happen myself, but I know someone who spotted for a long time whilst she was pregnant and has a healthy little boy now! It's pretty common apparently! Have you had any cramps??
If you're worried or if it gets worse I'd go the the ER, just to put your mind at ease!

 

[BaniVani]

I don't know where to turn except to you ladies; my husband thinks I'm over-reacting. I started spotting about an hour ago, light brown liquidy-a few drops after urinating. I am so very afraid, just had some more of it, still light brown. Have any of you had this happen without losing the pregnancy?

_________________
I had this and it turned out to be a minor urinary infection-I went straight to the ER. However, you need to consult with your doctor or better yet, take a visit to the ER... Hope everything is okay===please keep us updated.

I spotted light pink yesterday night and some brown this morning. I cAlled my nurse. She said as long as it wasn't bright red and I didn't have cramping, it was normal and not to worry. I go tomorrow for my 3rd beta. Hoping for good news.

Best of luck!

Ladies, help please! I had a mc in Jan, and just got my BFP on 7/13...went in yesterday for a beta so they could watch hormones more closely, and hcg is 25 and progesterone only 2.2. She said the hcg is fine as long as it doubles every couple days, but they will recheck tomorrow. If hcg goes up, they will start progesterone to keep the pregnancy viable. I'm just so scared of another mc!! Anyone else have experience with this and had an ok pregnancy? I'm not sure if low prog indicates mc or can actually cause it, I'm just freaking out!

I hope your levels go up. Only your blood work will give you an accurate answer

oh honey i can understand the freak out!
My spotting last time was constant like a dripping and i had cramps.

But my best friend had bleeding and very bad cramping through the first 6 months of her pregnancy, and my god daughter was born perfectly healthy!
If your worried i would call your GP. Even to request bloods or something to put your mind at ease.

Just wanted to give you a huge hug and offer congrats.

I never had my progesterone tested, but had two levels tests at 5w3 2000 and 5w5 3800. My OB assured me all was okay--that they take up to 72 hours to double and mine almost did in 48. I still miscarried. It's not an exact science and every pregnancy is different. As a result, I won't have levels tested this time. Try to rely on your instincts, hard as it is... I knew my January 18 :BFP: wasn't viable as I had taken the morning after pill within 12 hours of the accidental pull out mishap...I spotted from 5w3 on....it physically hurt to sit down....I was almost on bed rest so as to prevent spotting....I had no appetite and no nausea...only symptom sore breasts.

If you're not spotting and don't have a lot of the issues I mentioned, I'm very hopeful this is your rainbow ~
Hope this helps, I'm scared to death as well!!

 

[mrsmarty]

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! Lucylake, I spotted on 9, 11 and 12 dpo and none since. Now I'm 16dpo. My gut instinct was very positive until this, so skipping blood work sounds a more peaceful route. Unfortunately the knowing and not knowing both drive me so crazy I can't tell which I hate more!! My hpts are still coming out positive, just have to wait until Thursday morning to get my results back from tomorrow's beta. Congrats to you as well, I hope you have a healthy pregnancy this time around! Mc is definitely no fun, no one deserves to go through that!

Just realized we are cycle twins or something!! My mc cycle, I got my BFP 1/18 as well! Now this time around, BFP was 7/13 one day after you, so crazy!!

 

[LucyLake]

So awesome MrSmarty! . I'm due based on ovulating day 13 3/21, but I had my OB confirm my pregnancy today and give me pamphlets and she said more like 3/23 based on lmp 6/16/13

I love that you also got a Jan 18 , I got pregnant with my lo on New Years Day! never would have thought in a million years, I could get pregnant on the map. My hubby was one and done the last nine years.

That definitely sounds like implantation bleeding since your hcg was 25, I have no doubt about that. . If you have a chart, it may even confirm it

Huge prayers and hugs, I know how annoying this wait is. I also am dying to know, but terrified to know. It's driving me nuts that there's no magical way food-wise, etc. to raise your own levels

Huge hugs and congrats too

 

[mrsmarty]

I do have a chart, as I temp using fertility friend. Didn't have an implantation dip, my LP temps were actually way more stable than usual which was my first clue something was different...although I've had a lot of differences month to month since the mc. How do I get my chart on here?

 

[LucyLake]

I think you can go to Fertility Friend and click share. Here is mine: it's helping me to continue to temp and makes me worry a bit less, though we're talking a teeny tiny little bit

I had a little day 9 dip, but stayed pretty even too. I actually don't like the idea of dipping below coverlines, seen a lot of charts where a MC results...so even is good!!

I felt really weird on day 7-9, nauseous and not myself. And all the positive opk's...ClearBlue Smiley's.

You ladies are bursting my bubble saying that morning sickness didn't hit until around 8 weeks. I thought I was doing so well hitting six weeks with only waves of nausea. I mean, I'd not want to get cocky but I started to hope I might make it through with bouts of nausea. Only time will tell. It seems worst for me after dinner. I usually get home, need to nap and when I get up from that nap, I feel sick and usually feel worse after dinner but still not terrible. Just slightly hung over. reading about all you ladies with your head in the toilet...I'm lucky!

 

[mrsmarty]

Your temps look good! K here's mine, I hope this worked!

Yea i start to get nauseous around 6 weeks but by 8 weeks my heads in the toilet! Im hoping it doesnt turn to vomiting everyday again that really sucked!!

 

[Avas_mum]

Hi ladies i have not been on here in a while... I'm now 6 weeks and ohhh the ms has hit but not just in the morning all day! So my question to the ladies with children and who work fulltime how do you do it? Any tips? I had to take the day off today just feel awful.

Congrats on the great scans so far ladies.. I am counting my scan down still another two weeks.

Hope all is well mrs a....what a horrible experience to go through

I'm exactly the same as you all day sickness and I finally caved today and didn't go to work.... I'm addicted to chicken soup and my friend bought me some of the sickness bands today.... Touch wood I haven't felt sick since I put them on but the true test will be in the morning.

I've tried ginger snaps, mints eating little and often but hasn't worked all I can say is I can fully sympathise with you and feel free to pm me to rant/ moan lol.
When are you due, doc put me at 3rd march but my dates I think 1st march. Xx

I am due MArch 6th by my lmp so we are just a few days off each other. I have discovered i can only stomach sweet stuff , the thought of anything savoury makes me gag! Got some meds today so hopefully they do the trick i will let you know how i get on.

 

[mrsmarty]

Thanks lucylake! My temp doesn't typically drop below coverline til first day of AF, so I'm not sure I'd get much forewarning. Fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow and ill keep you posted!! Thanks for all the support, I needed it tonight

 

[J_Lynn]

Two words, ladies: sour skittles

We fell in love tonight. I even proposed. I never want them to leave me! I HATE sour stuff, I have NO earthly idea why all of a sudden they sounded good - but I am eating the mess out of them. The roof of my mouth is all tore up lol
