Anyone else in limbo?

ac5008

Currently waiting another week and a half to determine if the pregnancy is viable. Just wanted to check in and see if any other mommas have gotten not so good news, but still waiting to see what happens.

I'm in limbo also. Betas are rising but not doubling. Going in on Monday for another ultrasound. Could be an ectopic pregnancy. Could just be early. Limbo sucks. I hate it. & I hate the waiting. I want to crawl into bed and not get out until the uncertainty is over. But life goes on, and my family needs me. So we keep going.

Good luck to you @ac5008 ! I will be praying and sending good thoughts your way!

Sames ATM...apparently am having not a 'good pregnancy' according to the gynae staff...my betas are low and slow to rise but not doubling...

ac5008

Im so sorry to hear others are going through this. I only measured 6w at my ultrasound on Tuesday. Although its possibly my dates are a little off, that would put my BFP at 4 DPO, which isn't right so I just have to go back in two weeks. Basically just sit and wait.

joanne38

C I think my dates are off too...I got the implant removed in august...took my first period on 4 sept and nothing again. My positive test was on 2nd October...I think I was just 'caught' when I tested positive.. They don't give me much hope which is heartbreaking

roots&wings

I'm sorry y'all. This is the hardest thing. We can do it though. just stay as positive as you can. We can grieve when we have a reason to. Right now, though, we are pregnant. & we will get through this waiting.

joanne38

Am not letting their negativity get me down...I feel pregnant and great!! My levels were 156 176 129 154 and 200...I got another draw done this morning so waiting til 6pm to ring for my results...

Good lucky @joanne38! I pray that we can all look back on this while holding bitty babies in our arms.

I was in limbo for 2 weeks . My betas went from 500 to 1400 in 4 days and then from 1400 to 1600 in 48 hours. My first u/s showed a yolk sac but no fetal pole at 5 weeks 4 days. My second u/s at 6 weeks 4 days showed a 3mm embryo and I breathed for the first time in weeks. My doc and I decided if I have another baby after this one we aren't doing betas because it was so stressful and things turned out fine (so far).

joanne38

Same to all the mums to be currently in limbo!!!!! Lil sticky baby's to you's all and lots of baby dust...... x

joanne38

It is very stressful I feel so anxious ATM....I had a small bleed nothing more than when I wiped and now some spotting (old blood) am really hoping for a positive outcome

joanne38

My dates are all up the left... The consultant wasn't much help either...says am still in the 'grey area'

Sending strength and positive growing vibes to all those in limbo. Limbo is the worst, I've been there (and, hey, I could still end up there with his one... too early to know much). Here's hoping for good results for all...

nocompass

Yep. Not a fun time.

I've been bleeding and now spotting for 2 days. I had my first u/s yesterday which showed a heartbeat. ...I know that's supposed to be good news, but the same thing happened in August. We had a heartbeat. The spotting kept going until I miscarried.

I go for another u/s on Friday. I'm scared. I'm worried. I'm cranky. I hate not being in control.

Good luck & best wishes to all!

213.6...not very promising looking

No sign of baby just a sac. Doctor didn't bother to give me my levels I'll find out tomorrow.

Best of luck love

joanne38

Back on Sunday for another blood test... Has anyone else had really slow rising levels and been OK? Or am I just being too hopeful

dojo1

In limbo too - LMP August 26, Betas on Oct 4 were 135.  Ultrasound on Oct 14 showed yolk sac but no embryo. - maybe I ovulated early.   I did repeat blood work today, go back in four days and repeat ultrasound on Nov 11.  I'm going to be in limbo until then.

ac5008

joanne38

My appointment is tomorrow and I'm freaking out.
I peed on a stick today after two weeks of not. Just to make sure that it still said pregnant. It was the darkest line I've ever seen.
I just wish that someone would tell me, "Oh don't worry girl, I had slow rising HCG and my baby caught up and we're fine!"

I really want to see that heart beat tomorrow.

APago

I had slow rising HCG! Mine were not doubling at first and I was freaking out! Then they shot up on my third beta and have been rising pretty consistently since then! We've got other troubles now related to a low FHR but that's another kettle of fish! Good luck! Sending thoughts and prayers! Hang in there!

Shutterbug&17

Just waned to stop in and say that I'm sending T&Ps to all of you in Limbo.

@APago‌ my 7 yr old was a slow beta rise and then she was a low progesterone and she charted a little behind and came early... Also, she was fine.... I always reminded myself that 50 years ago women didn't know all this stuff, if a baby was in there then it was in there so I bet it is normal.

joanne38

Hey ladies I dropped to 190 then got an urgent call from gynae to come in for the methatrexate shot... The pregnancy was growing outside the uterus..... Good luck to you all and I will be back in 3 months hopefully with happy news for you all...much love Jo xx

Thanks @tasteslikeshiny‌ we had a good appointment today so I'm feeling a little better ! Had some spotting after but it was a transvaginal u/s and stopped fairly quickly so I'm thinking all should be fine!

@joanne38‌ I'm so sorry to hear! Thoughts and prayers
