My progesterone numbers from yesterday came back at 29.4. The dr was very happy about that.
But my cramping and back pain got MUCH worse late yesterday (no more spotting, though). I saw the dr. this morning and although she didn't feel anything (i.e., tube mass) in the exam, she ordered an u/s so she could rule out ectopic (since my symptoms mirror that).
The u/s went fine. The tech saw nothing abnormal as far as masses/fluid in the ovaries or tubes. She even saw and showed me the speck that she thinks may be the very beginnings of the sac.
I have a f/u u/s in 2 weeks to hopefully get some confirmations.
Oh--and I have my second HCG test tomorrow AM. The dr. ordered it "stat" so I should have the results w/i 1-2 hours of the test. Hopefully we see at least double my 234 from yesterday.
Hoping and praying...
Anyone else in these early stages (I'm 4w3d) and freaking out (because of current symptoms and/or because of your past m/c experience)?
Re: Appt., U/S, Progesterone #s
GL! I hope your numbers come back great tomorrow.
And yes, I'm in the early stage and freaking out as well. My last pregnancy was ectopic and this pregnancy is mirroring it way more than I'm comfortable with, although my RE seems to think everything is normal and wants to wait another week for the first scan (when I will be 6 weeks). I think I'm going to go crazy between now and then!!!!
I had lots of cramping very early on, and was scared out of my mind from it. A friend of mine said that her doctor told her cramping is more common with additional pregnancies. That made me feel better, and the cramping calmed down a few days later.
Lots of doubling vibes headed your way!
You're the best! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for sharing this; this makes me feel a bit better. Today is already about 25% better (less painful) than yesterday. I hope it calms down more, but I'll deal with whatever I need to to have a healthy baby. I just hope/pray I'm on the path to a healthy baby. Holding my breath until bloodwork and results tomorrow...
