I will update here. No bleeding today! I am trying to be hopeful about Friday.

@gadzooks_3 that’s great news! I’m sure it won’t be easy but staying positive until Friday is the best thing you can do.

@gadzooks_3 so happy to hear that!! Only two more days!!!

marikkita12

@gadzooks_3 how was your ultrasound? I hope it was good news 

gadzooks_3

It was still inconclusive.  They imaged two gestational sacs, no yolk sac, no fetal pole.  I am to come back Dec 1 which will be definitive.  Sacs were measuring 5 weeks 3 days. So my dates just might be off.  It is difficult to wait.  I am sorry but I might be quiet on here until then as it is difficult to maintain calm for that long. I feel pregnant - quite pregnant! The sacs are growing so I am getting all the hormones of a twin pregnancy.  It is going to be very hard waiting to see on Dec 1

@gadzooks_3 ugh! I can only imagine how stressful the wait is. Just keep remembering the mantra “today I am pregnant.” I’ll keep my FX for great news on December 1!

@gadzooks_3 the suspense is so stressful, fx for good news only Dec 1

@gadzooks_3, I've been thinking about you. Keeping my fingers crossed it was just too early and everything works out with good news.

♥️ Not great news, I had my first ultrasound and there was a gestational sac, but no fetal pole or yolk sac. They have me coming back in two weeks on the 3rd, but I’ve been down this road before (with my last miscarriage) so I’m not super optimistic. I’m going to be pretty quiet here until then (what am I going to do with all of my spare time now lol). ♥️

daisy528

@bkjade oh I am so sorry. FX it is just a little too early to tell, and that you get great news on the 3rd! 💕

@bkjade I'm praying it's just too early. So many hugs. ❤️

Hello, 5+2 here. I had some brown spotting this afternoon that turned into pink heavier spotting a few hours later. This happened last week as well. I called the OB office and they said it's fine as long as it's not accompanied by severe pain. I feel as though I am being ridiculous. Just very nervous being my first pregnancy. We tried for 2 years and were receiving treatment. Then decided to take a break. This is spontaneous pregnancy, so I think I'm just more paranoid because I wasn't expecting it. I go for my ultrasound 12/3. Hopefully I can keep it together until then

@bkjade I’m so sorry. I hope it’s just too early and that you’ll get good news on the 3rd ❤️.

@bkjade, I’m so sorry. I am hoping that it was just too early. Sending you tons of love. 

gadzooks_3

@bkjade so sorry to hear it. I hope you get good news but I know how hard the wait is going to be.

So I had a positive test a week ago today and today I had some bleeding. I’m scared it’s a MC. I had intercourse two days ago, could that be the reason? I have slight cramping and nausea still. It’s more than spotting and stained my underwear. Should I be concerned? I have an ultrasound tomorrow but the wait is killing me. 

riansmommie

@kelskels430 it could be a number of things, but we can not diagnose you. Many women bleed in the first trimester. I’m sorry you’re experiencing it, keep your appt tom and your doctor will have answers for you. But for now, you are pregnant . Keep us posted.

I went for a scan today at 6 weeks because I have a history of losses. No embryo. Something that looked like an embryo. Obviously no heartbeat. I'm told it can all be fine. I'm going back in a week. I was told to bring my husband with me next time. I'm super discouraged. Hoping for a great scan next week. Nothing indicates a problem. HCG has doubled. I feel nauseous/tired at all times. No blood. No cramps. I'd love thoughts and prayers if you have any to spare. 

ThePax89

@bkjade it sounds like we are going through something similar. Hope our babies grow grow grow. Hugs dear. 

DuchessOfCambridge

@ThePax89 all the thoughts and prayers for you ❤️ How stressful and anxiety inducing, I’m sorry you’re going through this and pretty there’s truly nothing to worry about

Thinking of you ladies!!  Fingers crossed for you all.

@gadzooks_3 good luck today!

@gadzooks_3 thinking of you today ♥️

My thoughts with all of you ❤️ Praying for good news all around 

gadzooks_3

Just back to update.  Unfortunately not  good news.  Scan today there was one embryonic sac and no yolk sac or fetal pole. It hadn't increased in size. Looks like a blighted ovum/ missed miscarriage where one twin was already reabsorbed.  I am very sad. I knew something wasn't right but I had held out hope that maybe at least one of them would have been viable. 

Good luck to all of you with your pregnancies. Enjoy it as much as you can. It really is one of the most beautiful experiences, bringing a little life into this world.  Thank you for the kind support. ❤
