They couldnt find the hb, sac looks like its collapsing, looks like its mc#7 and the end of our journey...

 

[FeLynn]

Im a mess now. 5 weeks gestational sac and yolk sac fetal pole not sure i get rechecked in 2 weeks.

 

[Squig34]

B4bee, I'm afraid you're on the wrong thread but I'm sorry for your loss. Crying is very natural but I think it would do no harm to see your doctor & have this loss recorded.

Sunny, I'm so so sorry

Felynn, sorry things aren't looking the way they should. I hope your next scan gives more positive news.

 

[LoraLoo]

Sunny I'm so very sorry hun. It's absolutely devastating xx

Felynn I'm new to the thread so not sure how far along you are, but hope they scan you again so you can see if things are progressing.

Afm, ive had a stressful couple of days in which my tests appeared to get lighter. Yesterday the digi was still 1-2.

Rang drs who got me in for bloods which are 171 (yest@16dpo) anyone clued up with hcg levels?

I tested today and the digi has moved up to 2-3 and my test lines are darker than the control line so think I had a dodgy batch.

Wish I'd not asked for the bloods because of course now I hVe to wait for the next lot (drawn tomorrow, results Thursday)

Hope everyone else is well?

Im 5 weeks which is what i should be by lmp

 

[LoraLoo]

Im 5 weeks which is what i should be by lmp

Sounds great to me hun, at 5 weeks we just saw an empty sac. Fingers crossed for you x

 

[Squig34]

Felynn, I thought you were farther on. If you're 5 weeks & saw the sac, that seems positive.

Lora, 171 for 16DPO sounds perfectly fine to me. There is a useful Web page I came across last year which shows you normal/average hcg levels for different DPO. I'll try to find it & post the link though I can't guarantee!

 

[Squig34]

Ok Lora, there's lots of info. I can't find the exact site I'm thinking of, but if you Google 'hcg levels by day past ovulation', you'll see that your number is perfectly normal & within the range of 33-323

 

[FeLynn]

Spoiler

I thought i was further bc i couldn't find any dates for after the 31st. I always kept track my phone cracked and i wasn't keeping track. I know i had sex after my lmp just can't remember and i Bengali keep an eye on my cm and pains. So im the scan says 5 weeks that's spot on for my lmp


Sunny hope all is well

 

[ginny83]

Lora those levels sound on track

Sunny - my heart is breaking for you go easy on yourself. You've done everything possibly within your power - no one can do anymore. Things change - focus on yourself and hopefully you might be able to try again if thats something you want to do. Here for you either way xx did you go to greece?

[dairymomma]

I'm so so sorry Sunny. and prayers.

 

[sunny74]

Thanks everyone, time to accept this is the end of our journey and try to find some peace.
I did go to greece ginny, spent £2.5k, ivig etc,,what a waste of money, we found out my nk cells are still sky high despite the ivig, lit etc.. so maybe it will never work for me, we dont have any more money to find out, we've spent about £30k now and nothing to show for it...ouch!

Anyway, i wish you ladies all the best in your pregnancies xx

 

[Squig34]

Good luck Sunny

Hello Ladies, I hope you don't mind me posting in here.

Over the past 8 years of TTC I have had 2 ectopic pregnancies treated with methotrexate, a MMC with ERPC, a natural miscarriage and a chemical.

4 of my 5 pregnancies were as a result of Femara, prescribed due to PCOS.

So.......my last pregnancy was at the beginning of this year and ended up being an ectopic. I was treated with methotrexate but my HCG levels took 2 months to return to 0. I decided at that point that I'd had enough and needed to take a break from trying to conceive.

At the beginning of November I just knew I was pregnant and a test confirmed it. It wasn't planned (but wasn't prevented either) and happened completely naturally. I was filled with panic from the moment I saw the 2 lines but managed to get an early scan at 7 weeks. The scan showed a 4mm (6 weeks) little bean with a nice strong heartbeat which I've never had before.

My relief was short lived when all my symptoms disappeared a week later but thankfully another scan revealed everything was fine.

That scan was done a week ago today and I just can't shake the feeling that my next scan at 12 weeks is going to reveal another MMC.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. I don't feel pregnant at all now with my only symptom being slightly saw boobs.

Sorry for the long post ladies, but thank you for reading.

Sonny I'm sorry.

Glad the rest of you are doing well

Kira - I have also had methotrexate for an ectopic (two previous mmc) - my fourth pregnancy is my rainbow who is 8 weeks old today. No real advice except to try and relax - I was on this thread on almost a daily basis at the start of my pregnancy with y rainbow, I never thought I would actually get to meet her and even went into the scan room once (around 8 weeks) saying that there was no point scanning me as I had definitely miscarried. Sure enough she was there an healthy - I still didn't feel out of the woods as my second miscarriage had an 8 week baby on scan. A strong heartbeat is a brilliant sign (although admittedly not a guarantee) - is there no way they will scan you before 12 weeks? I was scanned at 6, 7, 8, and 10 weeks in the early pregnancy unit. My symptoms didn't kick strong until about 8 weeks and got progressively worse until 10 weeks when they plateaued.
