Hi girls, Yes so frustrated with this all! Laura, he did check me for a uti and said I didnt have one. The only thing he said about my urine was there there was a trace a white blood cells but just a little so nothing bad to my knowledge. I decided to go to another office to get my bloodwork done since my OB dropped the ball numerous time. Im back to square one and am a little excited but terrified as well. My quant read 90 so if it does indeed rise, then Im hoping that the baby is in fact in my uterus and healthy. I know my progesterone is on the lower side and I too read that I could get meds for that. So mad that my dr missed all this. I wouldnt have had to go tot he er like Angel said had she done a quant like she said she was going to. Makes me think I couldve maybe done something to save my first lo.. maybe my progesterone levels were low back then but since they seem to not like to do the right test, they wouldnt have known. Idk...

 

[xoxo4angel]

Yay for the new Dr's office! You def want them to pay attention to your progesterone...it is often the culprit of many female issues! As for your lo in heaven, no telling what could have been done, but we know for this one what CAN be done!

(Have any of you read Heaven is Four Real? I think it's the name...I meant to read it because it's about a 4 year old's account of his near death experience. After he was revived he spoke with his parents about meeting his sister in heaven. Amazing thing was, his parents had NEVER told him about their prior miscarriage! I need to read this!)

 

[mommylov]

as far as the level being at 90.. I dont know if thats where its suppose to be I would think if it were that high, then it would show up on the qual so that fact that it wont show up on the urine or qual scares me.

 

[xoxo4angel]

HCG of 90 is good this early on! I too wonder why the qual test aren't catching it!

Have you already made appointment with new Dr? Do they see patients on a Saturday? If not, I know my Urgent Care does quantitative, results in about an hour...

How are we all?! Jen Laura how are bumps? Amy any updates? I will catch up in a second to see if i have missed anything since this morning..

Bethany hope youre okay!

Horsey Angel how are you? Geegirl? You okay?

Jess how are u ??

Anyone else ive missed?!

Well, its been eventful, i passed out and then woke up and puked everywhere at work...
So left work at 1 to go to the doctors, i told her about AF not being here yet and how awful i felt etc etc, this is the point where my day got worse...The doctor then asked me if i could lay down on the bed, she felt my stomach etc, and then said she would like to do a internal examination, so she sat there and i whipped my trousers and knickers down, and there she was...in her full glory...Aunt Flo...Soaking through my knickers (TMI) All down my leg , how i didnt feel it only heaven knows..So the doctor literally laughed and whipped her gloves off and said well its clear you arent pregnant, beter luck next time..

I just sat there, embarassed, and heartbroken, and slightly aggrevated at her uncompassioness (if thats even a word) about the fact i was trying for a baby...

Guess after a 32 day long cycle im out this month

Actually sat here crying, oh dear these damn hormones (((((

Hope youre all having a better day than me xxx

 

[xoxo4angel]

Sorry Tash. I think Dr's are so wrapped up in the science they forget they are dealing with a human who has real emotions. Hope you are feeling better...stay hydrated.

 

[xoxo4angel]

Psst. It's Friday!

 

[TTCSecrets]

thanks angel, to be honest i had a heads up aunt flo was coming because of my temperature, oh well, at least ive done a full cycle of charting and its helped me understand things easier, i had a dream that i announced i was pregnant on new years eve last night too, so im thinking it is going to be december ish time i catch, said i was going to stop trying and have a month off in november once af gets here but the temptation is too much, ill chart and do opks but im going to try and not stress myself over it...YAY FRIDAY! And i put numbers on the lottery today so if i win we are all going on holiday lol!

My gramma is popping round at about half four to see me, so i think once shes gone, i think me and aunt flo are going to have a nice bath, huddle up on the sofa in those thick pyjamas i have, grab a hot water bottle and a cup of tea and watch the soaps...

How are u today? What cd are u ? xxx

 

[lilesMom]

anatsha sorry hon, xxx
did doc say why she tought u passed out?
hope u feel better soon sweetie, sorry stupid showed her face xxxxxxxxx

 

[lilesMom]

ur doc was a bit rude maybe she was tryin to lighten the mood and make u not feel embarrassed xxxxxxxx in a stupid way xxxxxxxx

 

[lilesMom]

it is weird amy that the results r being so confusing, but fx for rise in next lot and for things to work out xxxxxxxx

 

[TTCSecrets]

she just said that after a d and c it seems to exaccerbate every aspect of a womans reproductive body, she said it could be because af was so close and it just took it out of me, and i thought well thats very different to the last doctor who said that a d and c has no influence over future cycles :S So dont know what to think, she just said to get rest, lots of pain relief and hot baths/bottles etc and just ride it out lol! She did say though that i may have to go back to hospital because i was diagnosed with endometreosis last year and they were going to operate the week after i found out i was pregnant so had to cancel the op, so now im not pg they think i may have to now go in for the op xxx

 

[lilesMom]

aw hon , hope it gets better fast for u xxxxxxxxxx
my sis had endometriosis nad was told yrs ago she would never have kids, she now has 4 i dont remember her goin for any op. but if docs say it will help u and may help u later with ttc might not be a bad idea. no need to think about it for now anyway , just rest and get better xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[TTCSecrets]

Im just gonna chill, at least with AF starting today i can get the first three days of it out the way in the comfort of my own home, so at least i can just rest up instead of having to go to work n such, it usually finishes within 4 or 5 days so hopefully by the time tuesday comes it will be gone and me and DH can get back to BDing!!

I think im backwards, im always in a better mood on my AF, my bad mood hits the week before :S LOL i think af is like a release lol

I cant wait for my gramma to come round, it was her birthday last week and ive bought her another present ,only some creams and face creams but ive made a box myself with a lid it looks really nice too So at least its something i made for her, she loves stuff like that

How are u laurs everything going well xx

 

[lilesMom]

she wil love it glad u can rest xxxx
and glad ur mood is better, i knwo what u meant though, u can look forward now again without thinkin am i? all the time xxxxxxxx happy bding in a little while xx
im good babe, have abit of a coldy thing but im drinking lots of honey and lemon and staying tucked up and warm xx

Random Confession: I am 5/6dpo. I'm been mashing on my (.)(.)s! I have ZERO symptoms and I know it is too soon for any, but I have felt compelled to poke!

Sitting here cautiously optimistic for you Amy! So glad you went for a second opinion! You do need the repeat labs because HCG doubles every 48 hours...if it goes up, then pregnancy is progressing swimmingly! I believe your Dr has lost your trust, so I'd be on the fence about going back too. Why didnt THEY do the dadgum quantitave...that was a blatent disregard for patient care! As for the scan, normally can't see anything until around 5 weeks, so it was early to even see a sac.

Have you tried Googling Dr's in your area? There is a website where patients get to rate their Dr and I found it helpful when picking my RE, maybe it will help you find an OB/GYN.

Ladies...TGIF!

PS Amy, to be a fly on the wall when your regular Dr realizes the mistake she made with you! She's a dismissive wench!

So called this new dr and they had me come into the lab just now, drew blood and I should get my results within the next hour. She said that she may start me on something tonight for my progesterone and get this... she HAS heard of this and actually has some patients right now with it and they are pregnant and sounds like they are just fine! I started crying when I was on the phone with her and said this week has been such a battle between all the drs visits, labs, er, and all of them telling me that they have no idea. I told her "You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that. Everyone was making me feel like I was crazy and my other dr just dissmissed me". She said "Oh no, I hear about drs shooing away client saying they are not pregnant in this same situation and I just want to scream WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!? You and I are going to be working VERY close together. First off, I am ordering that you get lab work done and I am telling the lab I want the results STAT. Then, based on the results we will see if we need to start you on *name of drug for progesterone* as early as tonight and get you in here for an appt". I feel so much better! So crazy this happened but I hope that if anyone else goes through this, this know that they are not alone and it ISNT unheard of.

Tash, you sure its AF? I thought my spotting was too then got bfp then.. well you know the rest! You just NEVER know so unless you get a huge WOOSH of flow.. Id say theres still a chance!

Angel, I have been doing the same thing! lol squeezing them and poking all week. I think they JUST started to feel a little tender today so yes as you said its way early! lol keeping my fingers crossed for you all!!!

Sorry if the past few days has just been me rambling about my nightmare. I more so wanted to make sure I got this all out just incase someone else went through the same thing and before I forgot any details!
