Been MIA due to a scare...

lucreciac

Hi ladies - I've been a bit MIA due to a few scares over the last week. Sunday morning I woke up at 4am because my son was crying - only to realize I had bled through my underwear and pj bottoms (sorry if that's TMI) I completely panicked and called my doctor, because I was supposed to be on a flight home from Florida that morning at 10am (Figures) Luckily the bleeding stopped and the cramping went down, so I was able to get home and see my IVF doctor on Monday (my son's first birthday, of all days)

Monday's appointment went well - the dr saw one clear sac as well as what could have been two other sacs or just residual bleeding - but she was confident that there was at least one viable pregnancy in there. Also my HCG numbers went up from 8000 on Thursday to 11024 on Monday, so not doubled but still increasing. Dr. was pretty sure that bleeding was either due to a large fibroid that I have or due to the fact that I was miscarrying one. I went home feeling better, but then yesterday woke up bleeding heavily again, as well as passing some clots. Back to the IVF dr where this time they saw not one, not 2, but 3 clear sacs (WTF) with a possible 4th that could just be bleeding. Needless to say this made us a bit panicky, but relieved as well that for now it looks like there is at least one viable pregnancy (if not more)

The doctor still thinks the bleeding can be from either a large fibroid that I have, or from possibly miscarrying one (as there was clots this time too). She also thinks that the chances of the remaining three sacs all surviving are slim. So right now we are just waiting and seeing. My husband took my son in to his emergency day care at work today because I've been ordered to stay off my feet - something kind of impossible with a 1 year old! When I did try to pick him up yesterday, the cramping was just worse. I feel like an awful mom that I can't give him the attention he needs - something I was worried about before we tried to get pregnant, but unfortunately with my age and IF treatments we didn't really have the luxury of waiting much longer. I woke up today with just spotting and cramping so I'm laying on the couch all day and hoping it passes. For now, my next u/s is Monday (which will be 6 weeks) Just hoping for some more clarity then. 

Sorry this is a bit of a novel but I really like this group and felt bad just going MIA. Hoping I'll be around for the long haul!

Praying for you, that must have been really frightening. It's so hard with a little one when you have something going on with your health, but you aren't a bad mom. You're doing your best for you little one and the little one(s) you are growing now!

Wow what a stressful week! I remember a girl from pgal who did IVF and had a similar story, bleeding and not quite doubling betas due to likely losing a twin that wasn't developing and she ended up with a beautiful little baby. Sending T&P that all goes well at your u/s.

T&P to you lady! Sounds scary but hopeful.

lucreciac

Thanks ladies. Definitely scary because with my first I didn't bleed or even spot - but also sounded hopeful so that's what I'm trying to focus on. Will keep you all posted!

@lucreciac - I went through something completely similar last week and while the drs still can't confirm what it is/was, they reassured me that there is one clear sac and that my numbers are fine. FX for you that it stops and that there is at least one little sticky bean in there for the long haul. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way!!

T&P, hope the baby or babies hang on! Sorry you're going through this, try not to feel bad about your son, you've got to take care of yourself!

lucreciac

@AandJ28 that does make me feel better. Just found out my numbers went up again even with the bleeding so I'm hoping that there's at least one determined, sticky little baby in there!
