@campbellcobb I’m thinking of you. With my anxious googling about my own ultrasound (I’m trying to stop), I have run into a few things with yours too.. they may have missed the heartbeat, had a bad angle, could be a combination of a few things. I don’t want to say much because I of course don’t know, but I will have hope for you. Hoping your symptoms and hcg have just fluctuated and that your next ultrasound will find what they’re looking for ❤️
Hi everyone. I just introduced myself on the introductions thread. I am 8 weeks tomorrow but since 6+2 until the last 24 hours I have been spotting. So far I just see it when I wipe and it looks like older blood, but seeing it daily/ multiple times a day for a over a week has been an emotional rollercoaster. I called my dr's office but they said unless it's filling up a pad or I have cramps then I have to wait until my first ultrasound - which is finally almost here (3/31). I've googled myself into every rabbit hole and possible outcome on the internet. I think I tired myself out with all the worrying, emotionally I am leveling out and while I'm still so anxious about my appt on Weds, I am ready for some answers. Luckily my husband will be able to join me so no matter what happens I'll have him right next to me for support.
So far nothing about TTC or pregnancy is what I envisioned. I was SO naive.
Progesterone is still normal and hcg is stable. They said it shouldn’t double anymore because it’s already so high. 🙁 They still want me to come for the ultrasound Thursday. The high hcg seems to suggest a problem.
I’m so sorry you have this stress @campbellcobb. Are you feeling any different? I wish I knew more to help you out, all I can say is that hopefully this is just a hiccup and things aren’t as bad as they seem. I am rooting for you.
@campbellcobb high hcg is usually a good thing, so its extra stressful that they are being weird and vague about it. I would email or call them just to clarify what exactly they are worried about, just for your own peace of mind. I'm sorry you are having to deal with the extra stress. ❤
@campbellcobb sorry you're still in limbo with all this. Hopefully Thursday will clear everything up!
@knottie2d3245211b556a99 I had a moderate bleed and then spotting off and on since 5+4. It is nerve wracking but can also be totally normal. I totally get pregnancy not being what you expected.
AFM: I had my final ultrasound my my RE today and the SCH has almost completely healed. I've had brown spotting off and on but was told that is to be expected and he anticipates the hematoma will fully gone in a few weeks!

Hey guys! I’m needing some advice! I learned I have a subchorionic hemorrhage a few weeks ago after a lot of bleeding and a trip to the ER! I’m 9 weeks today! My last/first sono was @ 8 weeks and my doctor doesn’t seem concerned at all! She said it usually goes away on its own!
My next sono isn’t until I’m 14 weeks! I’m just highly concerned that that’s too long of a wait, especially since I had a MMC in Nov!
How do I go about asking for another sono before 14 weeks?! Should I just change providers?! My current doctor delivered my first son and I had a good experience! But her lack of concern especially after a MMC is starting to rub me the wrong way!
(I accidentally started a new thread when I first tried to post and I’m not sure how to delete 🙃)
@luvmama0000 you can always just ask for another. Your insurance might not cover it though. Mine only covers two for the length of the pregnancy. You could also go to an ultrasound boutique. Sorry you’re struggling. I hope this is your rainbow baby.
@luvmama0000 I hope that you get some reassurance soon and that everything's alright! It's good that you were at 8 weeks and your doctor wasn't concerned at least
@luvmama0000 Hoping in from Dec Moms -- ask your doctor how much the out of pocket would be for an u/s if your insurance won't cover it. With my first pregnancy, I had u/s weekly from week 7 to week 12 and then another at 16 weeks before my big one at 20 weeks. I also got severla u/s in third trimester since I requested them. My insurance had no issue paying -- the major thing is that the doctor's office code it as medically necessary. If you don't want to risk it, you can always go to a boutique u/s place.

I went to the ER. I was hysterical and I can’t imagine that’s ok either. They did a bedside ultrasound but gave no answers. The girl tried to tell me that they aren’t allowed to tell me if there’s a heartbeat... I don’t know if that’s true. They took my beta levels and they were 5762. She said because my beta levels were “normal” they would not send me for an actual ultrasound. Came home to find 5762 is really NOT normal for being 9 weeks tomorrow. I am calling my doctor tomorrow but I believe I am done. I feel so stupid.
@usedtobeknottie don't feel stupid, you're doing everything you can and it's right given the information you received. I'm hoping for a better tomorrow
Does anyone know if I have any chance at all of being pregnant any more? I know no one can tell me for sure, but I have been crying non-stop and I can’t eat or sleep. I am devastated. I hate that the ER doctor said my hcg is normal and it’s just not according to google. I have searched thousands of sites trying to be wrong, and they’re all the same. I forgot about Easter Monday so I can’t see my doctor until Tuesday...
@usedtobeknottie yes there’s definitely still a chance! It’s so worrisome but cramping and spotting are normal in early pregnancy. At 9 weeks, the placenta is just starting to take over which can occasionally cause light bleeding/spotting. Cramps are most likely the uterus growing more than anything else. It’s such a scary time and your thoughts are going to be running wild, straight to negative thoughts. Give yourself time to be worried but do your best not to let it consume you. I’ve heard of some women scheduling themselves an hour to be worried/sad and then you go about your day. Imagine as if you got good news and do your best to relax.

I just don’t know.
