Oh, ladies, now I'm really freaking out! I had to go get my progesterone level checked today, so I asked if they could do my HCG too instead of waiting for Wednesday. Now I'm almost wishing I wouldn't have. My progesterone was fine 23.8, my HCG was 9902. I really was looking for over 10,000, I never made is to 10,000 with my last one so for some reason that was a magic number for me. Almost made it.

So why am I freaking out so badly? Well I'm almost 6 weeks and my HCG numbers had a doubling rate of 59.1 hours, last pregnancy was the same. Number doubled in under 48 hours until almost 6 weeks, then they went to doubling every 57 hours. Then at 7 weeks they were doubling every 133 hours and we knew something was wrong. :cry:

So this looks like the same pattern. :cry: I know there's nothing I can do but wait, but I was feeling so great about this pregnancy until today. :cry:

Aw hun, I know it's really difficult not to worry but your levels still look perfectly normal to me :hugs: I don't know if you have googled yet but I found this web page really useful:

I'm sure everything will be fine, I will say a little prayer for you x
 
Wow! This thread moves fast! I will have to check in more often so I can keep up :coffee: :winkwink:

It looks like there are a few of us with scans on Thursday this week? I also have a scan on Thursday. This is my first 'scheduled' scan to check everything is ok. I ended up a having a scan last week though (Thursday - by my dates 6 weeks along) due to a few symptoms that freaked me out: I had brown spotting from Wednesday evening through to Thursday morning, it was pretty light and more cm based if anything; I kept having minor pains on the left side around the ovary area; and, I kept getting a sharp pain in my shoulder blade. Of course, I thought 'Etopic' so called my OBGYN, they obviously thought the same thing so got me to go straight in for a scan.

I was so nervous that I closed my eyes and couldn't even look at the U/S screen, the sonographer said "Did you have IUI"?, I couldn't remember if that was the one where they implant into the uterus or fallopian tube and panicked thinking it was actually etopic!! I explained that we had not had any fertility treatment. Then she asked if there was a history of twins in our family, I immediately opened my eyes and looked at the screen and she said "It's TWINS"!!! Shocked!!! They measured at 5w5d & 5w6d so was close enough to my dates to be looking good - there was no heartbeats but she said that was normal for that stage. I am soooooo excited but equally terrified as I know there is more risk with twins - very nervous for the scan on Thursday and praying for two heartbeats!!!

Please pray for me ladies![-o<

Hello all!! Well I have FINALLY got round to booking a scan!! Its this Thursday at 6pm!!! I am shitting myself to put it politely!!! I know what i should definately see at this stage so im terrified that there wont be anything!!! PLEASE PLEASE Pray for me ladies!!!

As for the spotting, im just not sure what it is and whether its actually normal or not!! It could be just coloured discharge (Its kinda creamy / yellow / light light brown) caused by the pregnacare im taking or it could be a tiny bit of old blood!! Is anybody else getting this?? :shrug:

Found out we are expecting our rainbow baby in october. We miscarried in January and have been blessed very quickly and im a little nervous. My first son i miscarried at 16 weeks in 1997. I had to give birth to him and he was named.I was told it was unlikely i would conceive again after infection in my womb due to no d &c. I fell pregnant with my second son in 1999, found out at 11 weeks pregnant and on millenium eve. He starts high school after the summer. 9 months after my son was born i fell pegnant again. At 9 weeks i bled and was rushed to hospital. Scan showed i ha.d miscarried my baby but i was still
expecting . My surviving twin daughter was born healthy at 8 months gestation. I fell pregnant again 2 years later and had another daughter and then had my youngest son two years exactly after. Two years after my youngest was born i fell pregnant again but scans showed baby wasnt forming right and i miscarried at 9 weeks. 3 months later in october 2008 i was sterelized. More because i couldnt bear losing another child if i got pregnant again. For over three years i have had problems inside and been tested for cancer twice, diagnosed with PCOS then told misdiagnosed, had 10 phantom pregnancies and docs treating me like i was crazy cos i was adamant i had fallen pregnant. In december 2011 while 'sterelized' i fell pregnant. By time docs agreed to have me scanned my baby had passed but scan proved exsistance and that my sterelization clips are nowhere to be seen and no tubal damage. I was told there and then im 100% fertile. We
were devastated that we had lost our baby and are now so happy as we have fallen
pregnant within two weeks of bein

oh my gosh you have been through so much:hugs: congratulations on your bfp!!!!!
 
hi ladies!

RB - good luck with your scan on thursday! if your spotting is as light as it sounds then i woudlnt worry too much, when i had spotting before my mc it was always a definite brown that got darker and yours just sounds like normal discharge that is maybe discoloured from supplements. hopefully the midwife will be able to reassure you today!

congrats on the 3+ islander!

welcome to all the new ladies, and good luck to everyone having scans this week! my first scan is friday and starting to get a little nervous!

hope - whoop whoop on the twins! how exciting!

mom2 - i posted on the PAL after recurrent losses thread also but your betas sound completely fine for the stage you are. they only double for the first few weeks and then start to slow down. if you read my post from a few pages ago mine are not doubling any more either but apparently my figures are spot on, im sure yours are too, please try not to worry honey xx
 
Congrats on twins Hope4aBFP! I am a fraternal twin so I was anxious to see if I had one or two sacs at my first U/S (just one for me LOL). My first U/S was at 5+4 and we only saw a sac and a yolk sac, so your scan sounds pretty normal to me. 2 weeks later we saw a baby with a nice strong heartbeat.
 
Thanks for the support ladies. I'm feeling a bit better this morning. I guess there's nothing to be done but wait anyway...
 
Oh my god!!! New symptom alert......Trapped wind!!! Its f'ing killing me!! Its kinda really low down and really adding to the pressure down there!! It really hurts to walk around and im so burpy!!

Does anyone else have this?? :shrug:
 
Hi All! Wow this thread moves so fast I can't keep up! I found myself running to the toilet today as soon as my eyes opened. As much as M/S makes me miserable I'm so thankful to have it since I didn't have it with the previous pregnancy. Taking added progesterone certainly doesn't help the queezy feeling though.

Welcome new BFPS and congrats!!!

Hope- TWINS!!! That's wonderful!

I can't wait to hear how everyone's scans go this week. I don't have my next scan until next Wed (March 7th). Thankfully my Doctor is doing scans/appointments every 2 weeks or I might just go crazy wondering.

Oh yes, besides exhaustion that is my biggest symptom! :haha:
 
Trapped wind is bad for me too.... I get on my knees and elbows and stick my butt in the air!! LoL! it works!
 
Where are you guys tonight?? Hope everyone is doing well!
 
Hi ladies so sorry for being awol. Dd had flu then i managed to get it too. spend avgoid few days in bed with a high temp shivering etc. Now feel like i have been run over.

Hope I'm so excited for you. Wow twins.

Countdown to tomorrow when so many of you have scans. Hope your ok ladies?

I really don't have much to report. Scheduled to see gp on 7 th march week today hopefully i will be able to persuade her to refer me to epau. She did say she would after my follow up appointment after my last loss. Symptom wise I have only sore boobs that's it.
 
Hi all I have been awol too feeling generally crap.

So many scans tomorrow - looking forward to seeing all the pics tomorrow. My next scan is Monday so starting to get a bit nervous! xx
