November Autumn Babies

Fingers crossed it's just a blip and things are ok :hugs:
 
Time just flies by, I forgot to update last week. So my hcg bets went from 292 to 746 in 48 hours which was good. i also had them recheck my progesterone since on CD22 of Feb Cycle it was only 7.2 and they called yesterday saying its up to 25.6 The nurse wasn't sure what it should be since at the time the blood was drawn i was 4w3d so she sent the Doctor a message and im hoping to hear back from him today. Since my Betas were good they decided to not do any more testing and just schedule my appointment for my 8 week scan.. come on April 5th!!!
 
Randa I’m so sorry your levels dropped. Do you have any bleeding or cramping? A scan may or may not give you a conclusive answer so early. Big hugs to you
 
Keepfaith those progesterone levels sound good to me, I have read that they like to see 20 or above in the first tri

Some sharp cramps low on the right, and pressure in my back and pelvis. On Saturday, I had a very sudden, very sharp pain that worried me, but I shrugged it off. I'm hoping my midwife will send me for an ultrasound today.

After the nurse told me she didnt know i went to Google Haha and found basically what you said, 20 or above. After reading up on that i was able to relax and really enjoy that I am finally pregnant with #2 and realizing how long the next 3 weeks will be til i have my first US :happydance:
 
It's good you feel more relaxed :) hopefully these three weeks will fly by
 
Yeesh lots to catch up on from the weekend!

Randapanda, so sorry... keeping everything crossed for you! Im not sure an ultrasound would show much at this point. I dont think they will see anything unless your levels are over 1000 (if I remember correctly). Hoping that this is just blip and that your midwife can offer more insight! :hugs:

Keepfaith, your p number sounds great! I'm sure the 5th will be here before you know it!

How is everyone feeling? I've been really struggling with heartburn lately. Nothing seems to be working... I'm at a total loss.
 
My doctor said that he felt my numbers indicated "I was never really pregnant" and that there was likely just an empty sac. He doesn't feel like I need to go for further bloodwork or an ultrasound, and recommends just waiting until the bleeding starts...which he says there's no specific timeline for when it will. I just feel very helpless. I'm not even sure what to expect - what if it starts at work? Or when I'm alone with the kids? I know people deal with this all the time, but I'm just a bit overwhelmed.

Anyway - I'm to call again if I have a fever or extreme pain. I hadn't had my initial midwife appointment, but called to take myself off the books.

Best of luck to everyone else - wishing you all a happy and healthy 9 months <3

I hope so! some days i seem to forget that i'm pregnant because i get caught up with work and home life after/before work. Everything is going well and nothing coming up so far. I have basically no pregnancy symptoms at all. I didn't have any sickness with my first so i'm hoping it will be the same this time.. but you know they same o 2 pregnancies are the same!
 
I’m so sorry Randa. Miscarriages are so hard. Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Keepfaith, great numbers!

Jwilly, wanna switch symptoms?!? Lol. I’m so unbelievably nauseous. I did juice celery, apples, and oranges this morning and it worked. Sounds like a weird combination, but it tasted so good and was like a nutrient dense electrolyte drink. Grapefruit also helps (thanks Wishn for the recommendation). And the only meal I’ve been able to stomach is sushi. My bras are starting to fit a bit tighter already! Please tell me I’m not the only one.
 
So sorry Randapanda :hugs:I do think that your doctors words were a bit harsh. Never really pregnant? You were very much pregnant. Unfortunately I don't really have any idea on what you should expect. Our last loss was ended with medication, so time-wise it all happened fairly quickly. Thinking of you.

Keepfaith, I forget a lot of the time too. Even with symptoms! Hope you can evade any sickness again for this pregnancy!

NoGreater, my nausea showed up last night and today. Double whammy! Still want to trade? :haha: Fruit has been my go to for the last few days as well. Everything is still staying down though, so hopefully it stays that way.
 
Bummer, we’re in the same boat now jwilly, haha. I’m pretty sure I’m going to turn into a fruitarian soon but it’s the only thing that makes me feel good.
 
Randa your doctor seems like a jerk, to be honest. You were/are pregnant, it just isn’t developing properly. Sharp pains on one side could be ectopic, so watch out for that. My first loss started with spotting at 5 weeks, then started cramping and a heavy bleed at 5w4d. It was essentially like a heavy period, with a few stronger cramps here and there. Nothing about this is easy or fair. Take care of yourself.

Nogreater I’m glad the grapefruit helped! I just ate half of one and saving the other half for later.

Jwilly I was really worried about heartburn because I’m prone to it, but haven’t had any so far. My naturopath gave me this liquid calcium-magnesium supplement to take before bed every night. It’s a bit white and chalky, and tastes like blueberries. I think it’s warding off heartburn when I lie down because it coats my stomach and as a bonus the magnesium is helping me sleep and stay regular!
 
I’ve been testing every morning from the day after I took my trigger to now which is 15 DPO. This morning’s line was almost darker than the control so I am going to stop testing. Just [im]patiently waiting for my second beta draw tomorrow morning &#65533;&#65533;

Beta went from 113 on Friday to 790 this morning!! :happydance:
 
That’s an excellent beta Lady!

I’m feeling pretty good today...it has me worried. I know symptoms can come and go in the early days. I’m really anxious for my first scan...is it Monday yet?!
 
That’s awesome Lady!

Wishn, how exciting your scan is on Monday! I know it’s only Tuesday but I feel like this week is passing by so quickly. I’m colder than usual and trying hard not to throw up every waking minute. But I’m so grateful for this pregnancy so I’m trying not to complain.
 
I think I'm joining you guys, but I still don't really believe its true, and its very early days...I got my bfp yesterday morning, not sure on O day, but CD26. Going by this, due November 22nd, and makes me 3+5 now. We've been TTC for just 2 months and I came off bcp in January, so wasn't expecting anything quite so soon!! No one knows except me and oh at the moment, which i think is part of why it doesnt feel real. Fx you all have smooth pregnancies!
 
congrats zoboe!

Lady thats a great number!

Wishn, do you happen to know what it is that you are taking? Im taking zantac right now (although it isnt helping much) which I was told is safe during pregnancy, but I'm not big on meds, especially now, and would prefer something more natural if it will help. Im excited to hear how your scan goes on Monday! I felt AWFUL yesterday, but a bit better today too. Yesterday I was cursing about how crappy I was feeling, and now that Im feeling better I'm stressing about that too! I think its a lose-lose for us right now.
