TTC after miscarriage before AF

[TinyLynne]

Had an ultrasound, saw 3-4 small black spots, but one is a bit larger and we feel like that was the one. But the OB said that the other spots are probably fluid, so if I start spotting that is why. So now I'm freaked out that the other 2-3 smaller spots are the start of a mc. But that's just me freaking out! So I'm googling trying to figure out what those spots could be and I'm finding NOTHING!! Betas done. Will have results tomorrow. No spotting or bleeding still. That's definitely good!

4 weeks and 3 days... Another ultrasound next Thursday and praying praying and BEGGING for a heartbeat.

No Googling! Google is the enemy. I am praying for you Tiny every night! I really really hope that everything is just perfect for you and DH. I will be checking in tomorrow. Keep us posted on those betas and how they compare to the past!

FX'd!

Got everything crossed for you as well tiny! Will be checking back on for updates!

Tiny, we're here with you, cheering on a little sticky bean!

 

[TinyLynne]

Thank you so much ladies. You have no idea how much I appreciate the support.

Longest I've ever been without spotting was 4 weeks 2 days, so we have crossed that small milestone! Betas have never been above a sad small 23. So I feel good that they are higher than that. Median is about 400 for 17DPO, but I'd be super happy with 300! 300 is the number that I keep in my head and keep picturing. Will know soon I suppose!

How are all of you ladies doing?

 

[TinyLynne]

I knew I wasn't waiting for good news. I knew it wasn't. But thought that maybe if I acted positive then I would feel it. 83. Highest it has ever been. But still.... 83. So I guess I will retest tomorrow. But that is not very good news to me.

 

[mssk]

Don't lose hope yet Tiny the range for 4 weeks is 5-426. I know it seems like vast scale and we all want to be on the high end of it. But, things could still be alright. I'd say since it is your highest HCG yet that is reason for hope. I am thinking of you

Cycle day 5. This cycle has made me feel relieved. I finally got AF on my own. And for once I am glad I didn't get pregnant last cycle. The amount of clots that came out of me from marble to golf ball size and pieces of tissue let me know why we didn't conceive last month. I no longer think that I O'd but like I said I am glad because had I by some chance got pregnant I feel it would have ended in another miscarriage. I didn't even have this heavy of flow after giving birth to DS and DD were born. I finally feel real hope for this cycle. My body doesn't feel congested anymore. I feel good.

 

[TinyLynne]

Thanks for your kind words Mssk.

So glad to hear that your body has gotten a good clean out. Hoping that this cycle is your BFP!!!

 

[xanzaba]

Mssk- it does feel good to get that real period, even if there's lots of gross stuff. Mine was the same, the first one was light, this one was more like when I had clots. And I remember now how it felt to O, and even if I did O last time it wasn't the whole deal. Geez, the things we hope for on these threads...

Tiny- I had numbers like that with my first pregnancy. They told me the important thing is how it doubles, not how high it is. Well the numbers doubled nicely over the course of 6 days and they told me I was off the hook. Here's hoping for a nice doubling!

I decided to do OPKs this month and it looks like I O'ed on CD 15 or 16. CD 15 I had a positive OPK and DH was being a pain, distracted by work. I don't know what came over me, but all of a sudden I started crying. Freaked out DH, because I never cry. I admitted to him how stressed this whole thing has made me, and with the new job and everything. After a long talk we cuddled and next thing I knew... The next day I felt O, so good timing! Temps were up today. Now we wait.

 

[TinyLynne]

Thank Xan, good timing with your DH. Sometimes it just feels good to let everything out even if just for a few minutes. Fingers crossed for you!!

TinyLynne, mssk is right. There are ladies in 1st trimester who had numbers lower than that, but they doubled so that was the best sign. The number has to start somewhere and you are still very early. Don't give up home yet. I so hope this is your rainbow baby and your number doubles!

I knew I wasn't waiting for good news. I knew it wasn't. But thought that maybe if I acted positive then I would feel it. 83. Highest it has ever been. But still.... 83. So I guess I will retest tomorrow. But that is not very good news to me.

Hi Tiny,
I jumped on kind of late, but I am sending tons of baby dust your way. Fingers crossed and saying a little prayer for you.

All will be okay !!!

 

[TinyLynne]

Thank you ladies.

I don't think I would be as down about it if i hadn't got my BFP at 9DPO. If my betas are doing, it would have been nearly nothing at 9. But.... Still a little bit of hope. Something that j hope I do t have to kick myself for having later.

 

[Aayla]

At 14dpo I was at 17. At 16 dpo I was at 43. We didn't test beyond that as they doubled fine and were within range.

 

[TinyLynne]

Thanks for the support Aalya!

So that turned into a successful pregnancy?

 

[Aayla]

I unfortunately miscarried but my levels got up to the right range before they just stopped. When I went to the hospital because I started bleeding I knew based on the number when I stopped doubling. But it was fine up until then.
But just because that happened to me doesn't mean it will happen with you.
As long as you are doubling then things should be fine. And be persistent if you are worried. My fertility clinic kept telling me no to get more blood work. I was sitting in limbo hell for a week. I finally called my regular doc and he ordered more based on my ultrasound.

 

[xanzaba]

Tiny- are you getting your betas checked again this week? Inquiring minds need to know when to stalk the boards...

 

[TinyLynne]

Tomorrow I will get them checked again. Not sure when I will get the results

 

[mssk]

My OB's office (in the hospital) lets me call in an hour after getting bloods for the result so I don't have to wait till the AM. I think they know that I will go crazy waiting..but maybe your OB would offer something like this. Bloods only take about a hour for the lab tech to get to and 15 minutes to process.
