Scared momma!!

htopa2011

So according to my last period I am 7w2d, and I have been spotting very little for a couple days out of the last few weeks, nothing even worrisome..so Friday I noticed a quarter size amount of pinkish blood on my toilet paper went to the e.r and all was fine told me to rest..last night I went back in because my toilet paper was covered in pale pinkish blood..the e.r Dr said that my cervix was still closed and all she seen in my pelvic exam was old blood, however my hcg levels are around 3-4 weeks instead of 6-7 weeks so I go back in tomorrow for more blood work..we still haven't had our ultrasound but I don't feel pregnant other than an increase in fatigue and sore breasts off and on..anybody else have this happen to them?? This is my 2nd child and I'm scared

Try not to let it scare you, it could be you ovulated later than you thought, and you are only 3-4 weeks along. Which also means you might not be getting MS quite yet.
According to my last period, I should be 21 weeks. Thanks to temping and charting, I knew I was only 9 weeks along.
When did you get your BFP?

htopa2011

What is BFP?? Lol..I'm not in with the lingo..I've been chatting and keeping track of my ovulation and I'm supposed to be between 6-7 weeks so I'm just nervous

Big fat positive - BFP in other words when did you test and get a positive?

kbru88

Temping is the only way to confirm ovulation (other than blood test). So if you were not temping, there is a possibility your chart could be off by a couple weeks. I used to use a period tracker and once I started temping, realized that app was off by 1-3 weeks.

I have a longer cycle than "normal" so my dates based on LMP are always about a week off. That said, having HCG levels 3+ weeks off is a bit disconcerting. When will you be able to get an U/S to confirm heartbeat and date the pregnancy?

htopa2011

I got my positive test September 11th..and my missed period was the 10th..

htopa2011

My cycle is usually about 32 days and my period is around 5 days..hopefully I will know more tomorrow at my appointment..my initial "8 week" ultrasound is this coming Friday but now with my low hcg levels I'm not sure what's going to happen now

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. I hope your body makes it clear what is happening one way or another soon.

I am in I the same boat. 7 w 2 d any symptoms I might have had are gone, except for barely sore boobs off and on. I had a tony bit of spotting over the last two weeks but thats it. First appt. isnt for a week and half. So scared to go in and see nothing. We'll just have to keep each other posted

htopa2011

Blockedrose paying for you!! We're definitely staying positive..and I know my levels will be higher tomorrow..we're hopeful so I will keep everybody posted!! Keep me updated on you as well..lots of luck for sure!!

GL! I went in to the DR. last week-based on my LMP i should have been 7w . But there was nothing there to see so he sent me for blood work and confirmed I was only 4w. Hoping this is what is going on with you

I'm in a similar boat...I should be 8 wks but I'm measuring at 5. They were expecting to see a heart beat today but didn't and bc my progesterone levels were so low they've decided I will probably miscarry...this is also my second. And I'm extremely sad and praying they are wrong. Let us know how your appt goes!

Good luck. T&P for you. Keep us updated.

Bookhousegirl

I'm in a similar boat... Just had my first ultrasound and should be 7 weeks but only measuring 5 weeks 5 days. I'll find out more tomorrow when I get my blood work back, but it's so scary! T & P's that your appt goes well today!

Update?

htopa2011

So my hcg levels only went up a lil over 500 points since late Saturday night..they did an ultrasound because at least it's going up and not down..they found the sac almost immediately but that's all we could see..it's only measuring 4w5d and according to my app I'm almost 8 weeks..so I'm going back the 12th for another ultrasound and we will go from there..they're checking my progesterone levels and if they're too low I will probably take the shots..my aunt did and it saved her kids

babycakes8214

I'm glad they are testing your progesterone and that they will have you back on the 12th. I'm sorry it is so far away though. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

AppleRidge

I'm so sorry you're going through this.  Just one word of caution from someone who's been there:  if your hcg is not where it should be, progesterone shots may just prolong a pregnancy that is not viable.  Is there any way you can get in sooner than the 12th?  I'd have to think another in a week or so would still give a good idea of what's going on.

I had an US today as I have been spotting since last Tuesday. I measured at 5w4d, not 7 w like we thought. We did see a heartbeat though.

htopa2011

We only had a sac..the Dr was very persistent on 2 weeks..just to give it time to grow so we can definitely see the baby next time!!
