TTC#2 for the 4th month

[dragonfly26]

Boo for them not calling you yet. But super awesome the digital says 2-3 which means your levels did rise. Super exciting!!!

 

[CJGirl]

It's almost 5 so I guess they won't be calling today A number would have put my mind at ease a bit more, but hopefully they call early tomorrow. I will be getting another test on Friday or Monday at work if I can. Then I will know in 45 minutes instead of having a panic attack for 2 days. By Monday I will be 5 weeks and at least can breath a little knowing I made it farther than last time.

So I called again this morning and the receptionist said she would send a message to the nurse about it. Then the receptionist called right back and said she had overlooked the note on my chart saying labs were good and if I didn't have any questions I didn't need to contact the nurse. I told her, but I do have questions! I need to talk to her! So now once again I am waiting! I am so frustrated!

 

[CJGirl]

I finally heard something! So on Tuesday my HCG was 75 and my progesterone was 15 (I think that's what she said for the progesterone. I was so focused on the HCG lol). I am going back to the lab at my work in just a little bit for another draw and will know in a while what it is today. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next Friday. I feel like I can finally start getting a little excited, but not too much before next Friday!

 

[dragonfly26]

That's great news! Can't wait to here the results from today. And progesterone level is good too! Yay!!!

Did you go to the health office at your school?

Did you go to the health office at your school?

I went yesterday, but after being stuck 5 times she couldn't get any blood. I went back this morning and after 4 more sticks it finally worked. My HCG was 386! I'm starting to feel more relief! One week until my ultrasound!

 

[dragonfly26]

Woohoo!!!! I was praying so hard last night that the reason you weren't on here wasn't because of that. I will continue to pray for a healthy pregnancy and baby!!! I can't wait to hear about your ultrasound. So exciting I hope you keep coming on here.

I'm good! I was wrong about my first progesterone, it was 12 and then the second was 16. So good numbers all around so far. I got a 3+ on a CBD today so that was exciting! My appointment is at 9 am on Friday. I am so anxious. I have kept testing on Walmart cheapies just to see that they are good and dark and then the digital today to make sure it went up to 3+. The only symptom I have so far is at 3 everyday I pass out for a hour lol I can't fight it at all! It's like I've taken sleeping pills! I will let you know asap on Friday how it goes! I am so ready to see a baby after all this time waiting!

 

[CJGirl]

I was feeling a little more confident about things, but now I am really scared again. Partly because I started reading things online about ectopics and blighted ovums. I am so scared that we will get to the U/S in the morning and get bad news. I was starting to get excited. DH told me he is feeling positively about the situation, but not excited. I'm sure he is better in those feelings. If we lose this one I know there will be no more trying. This is an emotional roller coaster. One minute I feel great and think that there is no way something could go wrong again and then the next minute I am terrified and preparing for the absolute worst. I will be so glad when I at least know one way or the other. Less than 24 hours to go!

Can't wait to hear yor your appointment goes, what time is it?

Thinking of you, hoping all is good!

Thinking of you, hoping all is good!

Thank you! My appt was at 9, but just got home! It was a crazy day! The ultrasound showed a gestational sac and a yolk sac in the perfect place! DH started to cry! And then I started crying! But then the PA I had to see because my OB/GYN was not available said that I was measuring by ultrasound as 4 weeks 3 days not 5 weeks 4 days and did I have my LMP day correct. I told her I did and she said that see would expect to see a fetal pole. I automatically began to panic. She sent me for first OB labs plus a HCG quant. She said if my numbers were still good maybe we didn't need to worry that the baby had stopped growing. So I went to the lab and anxiously awaited the results. It seemed like it was taking to long. I started looking on countdowntopregnancy.com on my phone at 5 week 4 day ultrasounds and they all looked just like mine with notes saying things like, "Yolk sac, no baby visible yet." So I thought maybe she is wrong. The lab called about 20 minutes ago and she asked if I was sitting down…we were all expecting a level around 3,000 since I was 390 last Friday…she said how about 10,016?! She said it took so long because they ran it twice thinking they had made a mistake, but both were 10,016!!!! We are not fully out of the woods yet of course, but this is the best news ever!!! I am an emotional wreck still with the ups and downs, but DH is finally full on excited!!!!! It is so good to see him like that after all this time!

 

[dragonfly26]

Yay!!! Doing a little dance here, I am so excited!!!! And the numbers are awesome!!! Is she sure she didn't see two in there!!! Woohoo!!!

Yay for everything being in the right place. With Boston i had two ultrasounds before 6 weeks and we seen the fetal pole at 6 weeks one day and a heartbeat. Before that just the yolk sac etc. Im so happy for you!!!! Praying this baby is super sticky and you have a wonderful pregnancy x

 

[CJGirl]

Thanks ladies! I was told today by one of my students who is pregnant that at 5 weeks they couldn't even see her yolk sac and then a week later she had a fetal pole and heartbeat. She said her specialist said that measurements are completely inaccurate before 6 weeks and that the PA probably should not have told me I was measuring a week behind at this point. With that said, what you said Misscalais, and all my other googling, I am much more hopeful now and can relax and just be excited! My next ultrasound cannot get here soon enough! It is on the 29th and it seems like forever!

 

[Misscalais]

I agree that shouldn't have been said to you. Im so very excited for you!! Can't wait to hear all about your next ultrasound i hope the time goes super quick

 

[athena87]

Yay! We didn't see the hb til 6 weeks. They did an u/s at 4 weeks 5 days and didn't see anything. My levels would've been around 3200 at 5 weeks 4 days. Maybe you've got twins I'm so excited for you.

 

[CJGirl]

Hey ladies! So my u/s is only a few hours away and I am a mess! Last night I completely freaked out worrying I have a blighted ovum or something and started googling things again. I started having severe nausea at 6 weeks 1 day, but no vomiting. That's how it was with Ally. I was also super bloated and no appetite. For a few days now I have felt great and be eating just fine. I didn't think anything of it until I started reading things I'm so scared. I honestly can't imagine anything is wrong, but I am a worrier always now and want to be prepared for the worst. I'll let you know how it goes. My u/s is at 10am and then I see the PA at 10:45.
