TTC and Beyond!

[morganwhite7]

^Best way to be Miss Mirolee.. you'll thank yourself later for documenting.. and it will be so awesome for lil person to see one day! I love the "letters to baby" I see people do. What an awesome gift for when they're 18 or whatever. P.s. I checked out your Hawaii part 1 and I LOVE all the pics.. you guys are adorable.. so jealous of the Jeep excursions, that had to be a BLAST!

Actually I think I'm going to write a really, really long letter to Marley for her 18th bday now that I thought about it. Tell her how I feel right now, how much I miss her brother and how she has lit up our lives and once again given us hope. I think she'd love it one day! HA and we can see all the plans I HAD for her and how well they actually turned out!

I've been. They can't see anything, no sign of pregnancy. I'm sat in tears. I have to come back in a week to check again that it's not ectopic.

Hun I'm keeping everything crossed for you. FX for good results in a week

 

[morganwhite7]

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME BB!!!!!!!!

They sent me home telling me since I had pos tests, to expect to miscarry at home. Then I went back (KNOWING they were wrong) and they said well it must be ectopic then since they still could not see anything! I was DEVASTATED but went back in a week and found that it was JUST TOO EARLY sweetie! I have NO IDEA why doctors say things like that when an option they didn't consider is that you just aren't far enough along for them to be able to see anything. Do they know your tests were pos? I hope, hope, hope they have you do quant betas to measure your levels, that is stupid what they just did to you. Not okay at all sweets, you could VERY WELL have a babe in there that is simply too small to see. They need numbers to prove there is nothing in there. My heart is broken for you bc I remember the awful pain of hearing those same exact words. Ugh.

FX'd sweetie, it will be a long week I'm sure. Stupid doctors. I have faith there is a tiny bean in there.

I've been. They can't see anything, no sign of pregnancy. I'm sat in tears. I have to come back in a week to check again that it's not ectopic.

If your levels are low they may not be able to see anything just yet. I hope that's the case for you but if it's a worst-case scenario, you'll get through this.

 

[morganwhite7]

Either way, I'm sure you would have bled a lot if you did in fact miscarry (which I DO NOT think happened). You ARE pregnant, whether it's in a tube or just too small to see. So I will pray little bean is growing where he needs to be. Ugh I know that pain all too well BB, and they think a mom can just go home and "relax" after that. Humph. Stay positive.

 

[clynn11]

I definitely implanted on the right. I get the sharpest little twinges reallllly low in my back on that side, almost my buttcheek its so low lol. I cant sleep on that side anymore because it feels like too much pressure. Normal??

 

[wavescrash]

Could be sciatica.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

BB, I wouldn't worry yet. I think it's way too early to see something. Please keep your chin up for another week. If you haven't bled or had really bad cramps, you should be fine!

 

[brunettebimbo]

I'm having bloods done again on Wednesday. I can't help but feel that this is over. I am absolutely devastated. I can't stop crying.

 

[wavescrash]

As hard as this must be for you right now, whatever is going to happen will happen. All you can do is think positive thoughts to help your bean grow if they're in fact still in there, growing in the right spot. Don't give up on your bean just yet! And if things continue to go south, then it was meant to be to make way for the right bean for you. Wednesday isn't far away so hopefully you're able to relax a little, enjoy being pregnant because you ARE pregnant right NOW (you got BFPs, have HCG in your system) and let Wednesday's test results unfold as they shall. If this isn't a viable pregnancy, that doesn't mean it's the end of the road right? You've got a wonderful group of ladies here who have been through everything you can possibly imagine on the TTC/pregnancy journey to support you.

FX for you

 

[morganwhite7]

^I agree 110%. I was so sure we didn't have a bean, was told ectopic also since I had lots of right side pain. I cherish this bean so much more because of what happened, being told she "wasn't there" when we knew she was. I think you will too, your bean will show them who's boss! FX'd for good news sweetie.. my numbers were low & weren't doubling correctly (doubling every 72-96 hrs) and I was told there was no way she'd make it- and here we are today. Just trying to reassure you that docs CAN and ARE wrong lots of times. They are trained to prepare you for the worst and sometimes don't know how much heartache that can cause a mama in between appts. Praying for a healthy bean for you

 

[HWPG]

SO not trying to crowd in on BB right now - in fact, really want to make sure you know how supported you are and how we're rooting for you......
i just wanted to report that beta #2 was 162. that is a 31 hour doubling time. i feel happy.

BB- thinking the best for you. One of my besties had the same thing happen, and baby turned out just fine, it was just too early to see anything. Also, are you having any pains? That is also a sign of problems.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I've had pains on and off but more so when I've eaten! They aren't excruitiating or anything. I'm so worried

Mirolee that's fantastic news

 

[goldstns]

mirolee AWESOME! PS where do I see Hawaii photos??

 

[asmcsm]

BB, I know it's hard not to be worried but you are still very early. My first US they didn't see anything either and my hcg was 1413. All they saw was that my endometrium had thickened. I know that's it's nerve wracking to have to wait and wonder and worry, but at this point it's all you can do I'm sure everything will be okay. Some cramping is to be expected at the beginning. I remember being super freaked out because I had lots of sharp pains in my cervix this time and I still freak out when I get some cramps. I've got my FX super tight for you and your little bean

Also, as far as the cramping when you're eating, not trying to get up in your personal business or anything, but have things been backed up at all? Since taking the zofran I have been and it gets so much worse when I eat as far as cramping goes

 

[brunettebimbo]

I was constipated yesterday and have diarrhea today

 

[jury3]

bb-I'm so sorry you are going through this. Like the other girls said, it's still early and you can't see much this early on.

Mirolee-Yay!
