May rainbow baby

[Chrissi1981]

Hun I'm so sorry. Have you had your hormones tested ?? It could be something so easily fixed ... Xx

I haven't been here much this week I needed a little break. Trying not to think too much about the pregnancy ... Still getting positive results and lines getting darker. I am 5 weeks tomorrow and test line is pretty dark now... Almost as dark as the control line.

I will see the doctor today but doubt that they will do anything as I have only had one mc.

Kate will you get an early scan hun ??

My doctors wouldn't test anything I don't think, they don't seem to be very interested in things like that. We found out about our miscarriage at a private scan and even though the doctor contacted our doctor to tell them I don't think they even added it to our notes. I'm just telling myself now that we've lost the baby and then if a miracle happens it will be a nice surprise.

I hope your doctors appointment goes well though and somehow they manage to put your mind at ease

If this is another one you should demand that they test your hormones. When did you lose your previous bean ? Xxx

It was last February but before we had our second son so I think they'd look at this as starting from scratch anyway as we've had a live birth since the last miscarriage

No, I actually feel ok which is just like my mmc, with both my sons I felt ill with morning sickness pretty quick which is another reason why I think something is wrong

george, fx that everything's still okay!

Chrissi - Nope, no early scan (will probably be able to get one around 9-10 weeks), but I go back for my second blood draw today. I hope they get the results back to me before the en of the day, I don't want to have to wait until Monday! I'm more nervous than I expected. As long as the numbers rise a little bit (they probably won't double since they wre already so high) I'll feel better.

AFM, I feel hungry and like I need to eat this morning, which leaves me feeling nauseous, but when I eat I also feel nauseous. Boo. I even started taking B6 & Unisom again, and yet I feel worse this morning!

Lots if hugs to you George. Hoping everything is ok.

 

[Kelly9]

George have you gone to the docs?

 

[Kelly9]

My ic's are darker then control when I pee on them but when they dry they look lighter. My frers are still as dark as they can be.

A little ms today not as bad as yesterday but other symptoms still around like sore nips tiredness and crazy dreams and sense of smell.

Oh my glad to see I'm not the only one who feels more sick after eating. This morning I ate breakfast and was getting ready to go to the doctors when I started to feel ill. The neighbours were toasting some bread. It was awful I was heaving, I literally thought I would throw up but didn't.

I won't be scanned until 1st November when I am 12 weeks. It's gonna be a long wait !!!

Hoping we have uneventful pregnancies from here.

Love to u xxx

Chrissi - Are you waiting a bit to eat breakfast, or eating it right away? I think my problem this morning is that I didn't eat anything until I got to work (about an hour after I woke up) so I was already feeling sick. Have you tried nibbling on something (like some crackers) before you even get out of bed? I think I need to start doing that.

I only feel nauseous after eating. I usually eat my breakfast 30 mins after waking. I also eat a lot of good fats and thinking it maybe that ... Although it's not that bad yet. If it gets worse I'll cut down on the fats, which will be hard as I love nuts and avocado !!

 

[kategirl]

Oh, nuts always made me feel sick my first pregnancy....

 

[kategirl]

So, now I don't know what to think... my beta from this morning was 21,000, which isn't a huge increase from two days ago. My doctor is only "causiously optimistic" and wants me to do a repeat beta again (though I can't until Tuesday evening due to a trip/work) because it wasn't rising enough. The RN I talked to said my doctor was concerned by the numbers. Though the PA I saw on Wednesday said that it may not double and that as long as it rose a bit she wasn't worried, and from reading online it stops doubling as quickly once it gets fairly high (I saw that the limit is alround 6,000 for 48 hours doubling). Thoughts?

 

[Kelly9]

Once they get that high they will double within 3-4 days yours would still do that just about. I'd try not to worry about it to much. I'm kind of happy I'm not being monitored at all for the time being, I get way to crazy. I can't wait to try the doppler though, I think now I'll wait till 8 weeks since I've always heard it by that point before.

 

[kategirl]

Kelly, I know, I kind of wish I hadn't done the second beta now. If they had just told me 21,000, I wouldn't have been worried. But since my doctor is concerned, now I am. Ugh. I need to just relax and trust what I've seen online and what the PA said.

 

[Kazy]

That seems ok to me Kate. Not a professional here but I think what Kelly said is right for the 3-4 days. Have you done betas in your previous pregnancies?

 

[kategirl]

No, these were my first betas with any pregnancy. But it went from 15,049 to 21,000 in two days - that's a big increase! I mean, the increase itself (6,000) is the same amount over which they say betas don't mean much! Everything I see online seems to say it's fine, and the bleeding/spotting hasn't come back since earlier this week. I just wish the PA I saw on Wednesday had been in today so I could see what she thinks (she seemed much more understanding that the 48 hr doubling rule isn't always hard and fast).

 

[Kelly9]

it's not always the case. When I had a blighted ovum my first beta was 12,000 around 6 weeks then only went up to 15,000 in a week! I'd say you're fine.
