ttc after a d&c

[mommylov]

haha i know, my dh was so over protective when i was pregnant, id get up from the sofa and hed be like WHAT ARE U DOING, and if bel ike, im making a cup of tea? And he would sit me back down and say, well bloody ask me to do it.. Lol! I was like im pregnant not legless!

Its good though i guess, i suppose it makes them feel like they are involved in teh rpegnancy more or something lol!

Yeah all babies i researched were healthy, one was udnerweight but like i say, progressed and grew fine

I just asked an online doctor for you what the percentage of negative blood tests re pregnancy that were inaccurate, e.g showed negative when pregnant..

And he said, that doctors blood tests are correct in about 96.7 percent of cases, which means they are wrong 3.3% of the time, maybe you are just one of those unlucky 3.3%? xx

EDIT: Just saw your post, but if you think about it its still very early for us, i went for an early us at 5 weeks because they thought i was further along than i was due to my size, and it was BARELY there on the screen xxxx

Lol maybe. Lucky me! At 5 weeks I would think they would atleast see a sac and that's what terrifies me.

Thats interesting! Kind of makes me think usually you are better off with HPT for the *intact HCG* as it called on that article? That is interesting! THat could be it then, you havei ntact hcg in your urine, but its masked by antibodies and other such things in your blood?! Which that article to me is saying is normal? xx

 

[mommylov]

Well I guess I was barely 4 weeks when I went to er so that might explain it. I got my pos opk on the 17th of October so that means conception could've occurred anywhere between 17-19th ish so that puts me barely at 4 weeks five days TODAY if I count from the 17th. What a bizarre situation!

Nah i didnt see a scan and from what i remember im sure i was 5w2d, maybe 5w3d, but there was barely anything there, literally a tiny sac, and if bean had a problem implanting, that could also have delayed not seeing a sac? What week and day did u get us done xx

That's how I interpreted it too but didn't want to get my hopes up. That may be the reason many women don't know they are pregnant until later on?

U answered my question we posted at same time, see i went in a week and two days ahead of u and i barely saw anything, so if u were barely or just 4 weeks, that doesnt surprise me, YOu never know!

I dont mean this to sound horrible, but its either gonna go one way or the other, like u say it COULD be chemical, but i would have thought ud start geting fainter positives or negatives by now if it was a chemical!
Or af is coming, which i dont think it is for you...

I honestly think its a doctors mistake, a too early ultrasound, and doctors not doing things properly, i honestly do xx

It was Thursday so I guess about 4w2d?

i agree ames..i thought the same thing about women not finding out til late on..I think you are just one of the unlucky percent, and that your blood is hiding or masking ill say the HCG xx

I'm not too familiar with chemical pregnancies but if the baby implanted in my tubes then wouldn't I keep getting pos too? That's another fear of mine.

 

[mommylov]

So bizarre! Dh thought maybe it was the cup I was using for my urine lol. He had me switch that out, use a different brand, middle of the day pee and still came up pos FAST!

 

[TTCSecrets]

i just read that the earliest a us will show a sac is 4 weeks 4 days, at the earliest, see i spoke to my doctorl ast month cos i thought i had a tube pregnancy, and he said if you did you would bloody know about it the pain would be horrendous xxx

 

[mommylov]

Oh really? Ok then I just have to see what tomorrow blood test brings. Also have you heard of a rh blood test? I know Jen is rh- and has to get a shot for her and lo so I wonder if that's what they are checking for. I just don't know what that means. I know dh's blood is A+ and I think I am O- or O+... I can't remember which now but I remember looking it up and we were ok in the respect.

 

[mommylov]

Just did a little reading and I guess this maybe could be the antibodies that could be messing with my results! I hope if they do in fact find out that I'm rh- that it isn't too late for me to get the shot. Also read that this is something g they are suppose to check for when you miscarry and given the fact my last dr didn't look for any of this, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't give me a shot after my d&c like she was suppose to grrr

 

[mommylov]

Jen, when did you find out you were rh-? Really even more pissed off at my last dr right now.

 

[mommylov]

I'm thinking possible blighted ovum

 

[lilesMom]

with blighted ovum, sac develops like normal they cant tell difference between blighted ovum and normal preg uintil they can or should be able to visibly see baby on a U/s .
sac develops baby doesnt.
the hcg is stil produced like normal. u even usually have higher levels of hcg with a blighted ovum. so dont think so honey xxxx
in ireland when u go to confirm ur preg htey take bloods and ur rhesus factor is checked automatically as part of all preg bloods, i only know this cso when i had spotting with lile , she gave me my blood work results in case i had to go to the hospital emergency.
i think this is prob the case in all countries since they know how fixable it is and how much trouble it causes if they dont check and things r wrong xx

u could ring old doc and make sure they tested u like they were supposed to xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[mommylov]

I actually ordered a copy if my records for the new dr so I would think that they would be in there. The details if my d&c should be included in that. I just don't put anything past the old dr since I am starting to find out she didn't do a lot of things she was suppose to do. if I am in fact rh- or something, then I'm hoping its not to late to save this pregnancy if I am in fact pregnant with a healthy lo.

Did you get a chance to read that article I posted? Jess and I were talking about it this morning. Just changes s lit of whst we think about + and - .

 

[lilesMom]

yeah i did babe but the artilce still reckoned it should be fairly reliable test early on in preg, just not later. but the thing is with any tests the most they r right is always say 98% or so, thats means with everything there is a margin of error, with lab blood tests there is also human error . so it could be a really unlucky combo of the 2 and all could be fine. xxxx

there has got to be a reason u r gettin pos poas all the time and the really most likley one is pregnancy , fingers still crossed like mad for u honey xxx

 

[mommylov]

Thanks Laura. Trying not to be one of those girls that gets thier hopes up and thinks something when it's not there but everytime I start to come to terms with the fact that I'm not pregnant, I'm proven otherwise. Not saying it is a healthy pregnancy but really hoping it still can be.

 

[lilesMom]

me too honey, i think its impossible to prepare if it isnt, with lile i had 3 weeks and it still hit like a ton of bricks, let urself hold onto hope cos its still there hon and hopefully we will be proved right to be hopeful xxx
