@ktewart Thank you! I know, I have to stop. I feel like I'm seeing a lot of the same situations in other women where the result was 50/50 -- some went on to have healthy pregnancies while others did not. I'm driving myself crazy so I just need to stop. My DH said the same thing. Thanks for your insight!

*Lurker* Oh @peachy13. I am so sorry to see this. FX that it's just early. T & P for good news and for this time to pass as quickly as possible.
When you're ready, write a letter to the lab. I would keep it neutral (not, this guy should be fired!) and just say, "Hey, I got this terrible news and then I was sent down for labs. I realize the tech didn't mean to be hurtful but he said these things and it only added to the the hurt. Please educate your staff that they need to be aware of these things and to be gentle. I realize that it's just a regular Tuesday for you but for me, it's one of my very worst Tuesdays ever when it should have been a great day." I think it will give you your voice back and will likely save other women from the same.
TTGP is rooting for you!!!

@kiki75 thank you SO much, your advice is perfection. I just took my lunch break and watched "Glee" on netflix on my phone and it was the first 45 minutes in a while when I wasn't thinking about anything.

@peachy13. Hi. I feel like I'm reading my experience from yesterday. Same thing happened to me. According to my knowledge I would be 7w2d. The sac measured 7w with no fetal pole. Went in for bw yesterday and will go again on Friday morning. Next u/s scheduled for the 29th. Two weeks from now. I am a nervous wreck and feel there is not can do but play the waiting game. I hope I get some news on Friday but have a feeling may have to wait until next week. I have heard that levels could still go up even though the pregnancy is not viable due to hormones in the placenta. So as I understand I may be only able t tell tlif viable through u/s. How am I supposed to wait 2 weeks for a life changing moment? Good luck to you and please keep us posted.
@Familyof6 I'm so sorry you have to wait 2 weeks! As some others have suggested, try and stay positive and maybe there is some distraction you can get into like work, cooking, TV, a good book, etc. I will be trying the same thing and keeping my fingers crossed for you in the meantime!
@peachy13@tsarina Thank you both. I do hope we have great news to post. Really think it's time to stay off computer for a while. Too much info for me right now. I'll be in touch. FX
There is still hope so try to stay positive! Also, don't listen to Dr. Google. Every time you think of Googling something imagine me smacking your hand away lol. And I really like @Kiki75 's advice!

Sorry you're having to go through this! Like others said, try to stay away from google! My progesterone was low too (8) and I started the supplement yesterday. It's hard not to freak out but it's very important for baby's health to stay optimistic and positive
Hi everyone, I had labs drawn on Tuesday and everything was okay except my progesterone was low. As a reminder, on Tuesday we saw an empty gestational sac. My hcg was at 1,073.
Labs drawn last night showed that my hcg only rose to 1,700. My OBGYN just called to say it looks like I have an abnormal pregnancy. I am needed at work today and helping the big boss today with some crucial things, so I have had to put on a brave face and can't go home and cry it out. I let my mom and DH know... thankfully we didn't tell many people... I would be 8 weeks this Sunday and we were going to tell our families on Thanksgiving.
I am really bumming and also scared about what miscarriage is going to feel like. I am choosing to go naturally rather than have a D&C, and I am hopeful about trying again in the near future.
Best wishes to all you ladies - thank you for the kind words of support while I was in limbo. Fingers crossed for a happy and healthy 9 months!

@peachy13 I'm so sorry for your loss. Please be kind to yourself and I hope you're back on a month board soon. FWIW, I had a D&C and it was really not that bad - feel free to message me if you want to talk about it.

@peachy13 I am so sorry. Please take care of yourself, grieve as you need to and try again when your ready. I know throwing myself back into TTC after my loss was scary but felt like the right thing to do. I hope you find yourself back on a BMB quickly. Find a good support system, talking to people that have been through a loss helps make you feel less alone. Sending you strength to move forward and my deepest sympathies during this hard time

so sorry for your loss @peachy13 and i am extra sorry you have to work, I hope you have time to grieve for yourself this weekend. I have been there and is hard to imagine having to work after this news hugs.
@peachy13 so very sorry to hear this. Like others have said, I hope this weekend you can take time to relax and grieve apart from any distractions. I hope to see you on a BMB very soon. Sending thoughts and prayers your way
@peachy13 I am so sorry for your loss. FWIW I've experienced both an at home m/c and a D&C. The D&C was certainly less painful but for me it was more of an emotional toll. If you do have any Q's about either please feel free to message me. I am so so sorry you have to go through this it is very difficult and you are in my thoughts.
