I am suppose to go get another blood drawn. Its been 3 months. But i dont want to here that my levels are negative and thats good. Because in my mind it is safe for me to get pregnant again.

Angelcutie, My D&C will be 3 weeks ago on Thursday. I get my second blood draw at the end of this week. I hope it's a big jump down. I am feeling okay. Frustrated but hanging in there. Still feel like it's a lot to wrap my mind around and I feel light years better than I did fresh off the D&C so I understand you feel very raw right now. Hope you are getting lots of rest and letting others take care of you for a while. Let us know how the pathology reports turn out. I will hope for a PM as well, fingers crossed.

Hi - hope everyone is doing ok. I see there are a few new ladies joined us - welcome - this is a fabulous site and a great support. It's been a long day today so I'm going to post and then read back through other posts later.

I've got a date for my c-section - 3rd December - yikes!!! I went for my appointment at half one and didn't leave the hospital til gone 6! It's this blinkin' rash!!
Saw the midwife and she said my blood pressure was higher than normal and then felt my belly and muttered something about it felt like there was a lot of fluid around the baby so it didn't get off to a good start. Then I went to see my consultant and he booked me in for the c-section- becuase it's being done before 39 weeks due to my history I'm going to have the steroid injections again. Anyawy, I showed him the rash which has just been getting worse and is horrendously itchy at night - it's all over my body now and I've got quite a few 'blood spots' which bleed insanely if I catch them (or scratch them - oops!) The steroid creams I was given before have had no effect whatsoever. My legs and ankles were also swollen so he phoned the dermatolgy dept and asked if they'd fit me in today.
I then had to go off for an ENT appointment for the bad nosebleeds I've been having for months - might need an op to remove a fleshy growth (the doc gave it a name but he was foreign so didn't catch what he said!) so got to go back there in 6 weeks.
Then was waiting around to be slotted in to see the skin specialist. I'd had to phone my friend to collect Gabriella from nursery as as I pulled into hospital her nursery phoned to say she'd been sick and could I collect her!). Dermatologist thinks I have something called PUPPP but said she'd like to do a biopsy to make sure and could I stay around for that. So had to phone my friend again and ask her to pick Ava up from school too. I had Conall with me and he was getting restless by this time. Anyway, finally at about half five I go in for the biopsy which is quite unpleasant so now have two stitches in my arm.
I've got so many appointments to keep track of now and came away with 5 different prescriptions. Feeling fed up and sorry for myself. Hubby was away last night and tonight too with work. I can't wait for the 3rd December!!!! My friend has been brill - she'd given the girls dinner and had a plate for me and Conall waiting too. Got home, put kids staright to bed and I'm off soon!

Sorry for the rant - it's over now! will read back tomorrow and see how you are all doing xx

I have reached the point where I am absolutely done too--ugghh!! At my appointment on Monday with the midwife my BP was high and it was high last time as well and both weeks I had protein in my urine and my legs and feet as sooooo swollen so she ordered labs for bloodwork and 24 hour urine collection which I turned in Tuesday night. They had results back by Wednesday afternoon but I didn't get off work in time to call back, So called this morning and they are just calling it mild pre-eclampsia and I have to retest my blood and urine again next week. WHY CAN'T I JUST BE DONE??? I'll take an induction please!! I hope your new Rx's help and they get the rash resolved before Dec 3rd!! At the rate I'm going our babes could have the same Birthday if I go a few days overdue!!

On a lighter note--I have another ultrasound this afternoon so at least I get to see little man in that regards...and only a Friday seminar and 2 week days next week and my maternity leave will be here!!

 

[want2beamummy]

Hey ladies im back! have tried to avoid the internet esp. facebook lately it just got too hard, welcome to the new ladies! and sorry you are here but this group has been amazing!

How are you all? getting excited for Christmas?

Afm, im down to monthly urine test happy about that but still unsure of the 6 month wait :/ im happy to wait 3.

 

[ihave5boys]

Blakesmom-how did u/s go?

Afm-i have not been testing daily anymore. I am trying not to think about it. Cm seems fertile but i have no clue and havent done the deed for awhile either...

[aimze]

I am so annoyed an upset with my body, please just go away HCG an leave me alone!

So its gone from 25 to 11 in a week an then 11 - 6 in TWO WEEKS. What a stupid drop!

 

[Kabeth29]

3 weeks post D&C and hcg levels at 1200. Sigh... seems like such a long road ahead.

 

[aimze]

kabeth....good you had them so close to d&c...mine was 10 weeks after...you find the largest numbers drop in the biggest chunks...mine have been slowly in the under 100's for about 8 weeks now....with each period they take their biggest drop...big hugs....are you on weekly tests? x

 

[ihave5boys]

Just want my period to show up now, its been almost 9 months since i had one

SO CLOSE!!!! What does your doc consider negative??

 

[aimze]

bloody 2!!!!! prob take me another 6 weeks to get there! all a total joke reallyy since my urine is "normal" x

 

[B&LsMom]

That gets so confusing for me with the urine and blood tests. They don't do both here. My Doc was the same--under 3 was negative, when a few people on the facebook groups I'm a part of were negative at 5--I think my level just before "negative" was a 6 if I remember right--thinking I was just 1 aware from that standard was nice, but still needing to go down by 4 by my Doc's---grrrr. I was down to testing just 1x/month at that point.

 

[Angelcutie]

hey girls, how is everyone doing? can't believe the holidays are around the corner, not sure if thats a good or bad thing for me right now..

i had my first blood draw on wednesday, no one has called me about the results, and they never told me what they were to start with..i go to the dr on tues so maybe he'll have my pathology report and tell me about the blood work...i dont even want to know what my levels are, i think ill obsess over them =( i've been so depressed lately, i dont know if im more upset that i cant try right now, or more scared that i could need chemo and i keep thinking what if i die from this, stupid thing to think (i hope) but i cant help it, im so scared of all of this and its just the beginning...sorry to be such a downer, i've been reading all of these posts from the beginning and its the only thing that makes me feel better, just hearing all of your stories...i hope a year or so from now this will all be a memory, unfortunately not something you forget...

 

[B&LsMom]

The Holidays helped me last year (I was 3 months post D&C at that time) as there is just so much to keep busy with. Also a happy time when its easy to feel so sad for yourself--Holiday cheer is nice!! My Doc's were terrible about calling with results--I was always the one to initiate contact--and I would have to leave a message for a nurse to call back which was very impersonal always playing phone tag with them. Hopefully a year from now this will all be well behind you. I just found my records from getting my first negative hcg test--It took 14 weeks,(I think it could have been negative around 12 weeks but I was only having monthly blood draws at that point) and then the next month I started charting my cycle like a hawk. Now I'm counting down the days for this rainbow babe to be born!!

 

[ihave5boys]

The holidays are going to suck for me this year. Unless i get a positive before christmas. I was planning on having this baby arounfpd the 14th of dec. So i was planning on having a newborn at christmas. The depression is already starting for me. Today been a bad day. All i can think and dream about is getting a positive.
