Hey Ladies :wave:
I just wanted to get my thoughts out there really. I am 6w today having had and Ectopic in Sept 2009, Chemical Jan 2010 and Blighted Ovum April 2010
DH and I took a break as recommended by my Acupuncturist whom I began seeing after the last MC. We werent really trying in June to the effect I wasnt really monitoring etc. But had started BD around mid cycle etc. Anyway... on the 9th of june! I was scared and afraid instead of being exstatic
Well since then I have been regularly monitored and had bloods done all last week. My bloods have been rising nicely. much higher and better than any of my other pregnancies.
Friday 16th, I had some brown spotting and went to A and E... after lots of hours there, bloods told us the pregnancy was progressing, they wouldnt scan me (arrgghh) but said they couldnt rule out Ectopic or MC but increase in hcg is good.
Tuesday 20th I went into EPU and they did a scan only. I was 5w6d and thought I would see a fetal pole or a yolk sac, as well as a gestational sac if the pregnancy was in the right place (as apposed to another EP). The sonographer didnt tell me much and as I didnt hear key words such as "fetal pole, yolk sac.." My heart sank and I started thinking the worse.
The nurse said it was a little too early and that I should go back in two weeks.. errrrr 2 weeks!!! I was too shocked and lost to think of asking questions and then just walked out numbly.
My bleeding was the result of a blood spot adjacent to the pregnancy. The nurse did say to expect it will come out, may be like a period pain, and not to worry. To be vigilant and make sure it doesn't go red. They didnt want to do more bloods and add more worry to the numbers I got back
So all in all- not really anything to tell me anything is wrong..but I am soooo worried. I have not slept well the past two nights. Naps and night dreams are telling me I am bleeding- wiping or on pads I have tiredness, frequent peeing, boobs, dizzyness, gassy and bloated as my major symptoms (though the latter could be the herbal tablets my acupuncturist has me on)
I worry about the lack of twinges now- I had them mostly last week but week 6 and they seem to have gone down-is this normal? I don't have MS- my last bloods on Friday 16th were 2376 so by now if they are doubling nicely like they were I would expect to be way over 10000- so shouldn't I be getting MS?
I know there isn't anything concrete pointing either to a MC or viable pregnancy but I cant help thinking the worse and really getting worried. I just wanted to get this out of my mind into words and see if anyone else has had any comments or similar stories to share. Thanks to those who already have
