Pregnant after a Loss

**FINAL UPDATE** Not an Intro--Hope it's ok that I post here, coming from TTCAL...

edited January 2014 in Pregnant after a Loss
Hello to all of you wonderful PGAL ladies!  I hope it's ok that I use this board for a little while to help me stay in contact with my TTCAL ladies, I'm in a very funky situation and it's not appropriate to post over there.  I'm missing my crazy train and check-ins and am hoping some of the TTCAL will read this.

I had a very light period this cycle which started on Jan 17.  It lasted for 4 days and was SUPER light compared to normal.  I started testing with OPKs on CD 5 and they were positive from CD 5-CD 12.  I posted a lot in crazy train and in my check-ins that I was going crazy about all of these positive OPKs and that my temps were higher than normal at my baseline...I had to go buy a new box of CB opks and this one came with a HPT so I decided to take it, it came back positive immediately.  Took another, positive.  Started crying immediately.  I took 4 pregnancy tests last cycle, all BFN.  There is no way I could be pregnant and have a BFP from this cycle so it must have been from my last cycle (12/20) and be another unhealthy pregnancy.  I've had cramping in my left ovary for about 5 days and I assumed it was that I was about to O but now I'm worried it's something more serious.  Doctor sent me for betas and they came back at 95.  Not a good number I know if this is from my last cycle (I would be about 5w5d).  I had a gush of red blood yesterday, another bad sign....The doctor won't see me until I repeat betas tomorrow and find out the results on Friday.  Thank you in advance to all of the PGAL ladies for letting me post this and for any support and hugs you might offer.  

So to all of my TTCAL ladies, I miss you so much and I need to you now but I know I can't post over there now....I'm assuming I'll be back on Friday after my appointment with my doctor.  I guess the moral of the story is that 7 days of positive opks are not normal and there was something "crazy" going on :(  On the bright side 95 is a much lower number than what I started with for my last miscarriage so maybe I won't have to have another D&C.  I was just starting to feel better after my September d&c and now this.....






**UPDATE** I called my doctors office and told them that my cramping on my left side has not gone away and they are seeing me at 2:15pm today. I woke my butt up at 5:45am to be at lab when they opened at 6am so my betas should be back by then and we should be able to formulate a plan this afternoon. I'm just praying the cramping is my cysts acting up and nothing more serious. Will give you all a final update this afternoon. Thank you all for your hugs, kind words and support. I don't know what I would do without you.

***Final update on TTCAL.  I cannot thank you ladies enough for allowing me a place to hang for the past couple of days.  I hope that I'll be able to come on over officially some time soon.  I wish you all the most boring and uneventful 9 months ever!!!***

    You describe cramping on your left side and that is probably normal, but if it becomes very painful, make sure that your doctor knows about it.

    I'm very sorry you're going through this. I do hope your doctor is proactive in checking things out. With my ectopic I had what I thought was a wonky period and low beta numbers at 7 weeks so I hope it's not that. If your pain gets worse, definitely go to the ER, though, just in case.

    *big hugs*  I'm sorry you're in such limbo right now.

    Lots of prayers that there is another explanation for this. But I want to echo pp, go to the hospital if your pain gets stronger and/ir you start bleeding profusely. Limbo sucks so bad...I was there twice with this pregnancy (bright red bleeding and cramping) and, I have a healthy baby bouncing around in there.

    BIg, big (((hugs))). Of course you can hang out here and thank you for handling this the way you did and for the respect that you have shown TTCAL. Snegde has given you really good advice. I would proactively push for an ultrasound. If you start having any pain whatsoever, I would head to the ER.  I am so sorry that you are going through this.
