Probably Coming Back Soon :( Long...
Not that I didn't miss you ladies, and all, but I am so sad to probably be returning to the TTC board. At my six week ultrasound on Tuesday, the doctor could not find a yolk sac. DH and I went back today, and still no yolk sac. We're leaving for Virginia Beach and DC in an hour (I insisted on going on our vacation), so I may end up miscarrying while we're out of town. I was really hopeful that the sac would show up on this one, but it didn't. The doctor took more blood to check Beta levels and progestrone to see if my body's already begun the process. They ran the tests through STAT so I should find out this afternoon if it's starting soon. If we'd stayed home, the RE wouldn't want to see me until Thursday, so I am feeling good about going out of town. My stepdaughters have no idea about the pregnancy, and I really don't want to sit around and wait for it to happen. I just hope that we can have a good time and that it doesn't take too much away from our family time. DH has been wonderful through all of this. He came home from work early on Tuesday because I was upset, and he stayed home all day today. He's sad and is already having me look up hospitals in case we need one. I love his overprotectiveness. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have him to go through this with.
I hope everyone has been doing well, and I'll check back in again after we return on 7/5. I have one more appointment at the RE on 7/6 to check things out. See you soon.

Re: Probably Coming Back Soon :( Long...
I'm really sorry to hear this. I went through this same scenario right around 8 weeks and it is very tough to handle. I hope your vacation helps to take your mind off of everything.
By the way, I live just outside of DC and all of the INOVA hospitals are great, although I prefer INOVA Fairfax. It's where I had my D&C and delivered DS. It's one of the highest rated hospitals for the woman & child care.
My heart just sank at this post. Lizzy I am so sorry you have to go through this.
I am so sad for you. I am glad though, that your wondeful husband is strong and such a support.

Thanks! Just added that to the list of hospitals. I'm sure we won't need it, though. Everything was checked thoroughly to make sure it wasn't ectopic.
Apparently my HCG levels are still going up (11,422) and my progesterone is high enough to support a pregnancy, so it doesn't look like it's going to happen right away. I'm hoping to at least enjoy the few days we have at the beach.
Thanks for your support, ladies! See you in July!
Oh no Lizzy. I am so sorry. <<<HUGS>>
Is there any way the doc just can't see the yolk sac yet? I guess I am asking if there is any hope at all. I feel like I have seen other women say this on the board and then they end up seeing the yolk sac when they go in again.
I am glad your DH is being so wonderful. I also think it is good that you are moving forward on your vacation. For me, there is something about a change of scenery that always seems to help during the bad times.
Oh Liz. Your post is so heartbreaking. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
I'm glad your DH is being so supportive - he sounds like an amazing man.

Oh Lizzy!! I am so sorry! This just bites the big one! I am asking the same thing as Holly...if you're levels are still rising...could there be any chance that they are just missing the sac?? I don't know much about this but I am hoping by some miracle this one holds on for you!
