Pregnant after a Loss

Probably Leaving, Stuck in limbo

So I unfortunately have a bit of back story. I started this pregnancy low on progesterone which was terrifying but I have been on suplements since the begining. I had 2 beta draws that more than doubled and my progesterone went up so I thought things may just be okay.  Fast forward to my first u/s on Wed of last week. I thought I should be about 7w1d. I don't know my exact O date but thought I was close based on when DH and I had sex.

I go into the appt feeling like we weren't going to see anything and I was right. I was measuring 5w0d. I started to panic and just couldn't control my tears. I was alone as DH couldn't be there b/c of the holiday. I explained to my dr that I am almost certain I was further along than that. He got my blood work out and said that to him it seemed like I was on track. My first beta was so low he was surprised I got a BFP. He said that he was not in any way comfortable telling me I was going to m/c without more info. He had be run another beta and requested the techs call him immediately on his cell with the info. I was instructed to call him that night for the results. My beta was 4700 ish (I don't remember the exact number) he said that it was doubling every 72 hours and he was okay with that.

He said I could be off on my dates and the u/s machine isn't always perfect. He told me not to worry yet and to enjoy my Holiday and call the office on Monday so we could check the betas again. I stayed home with DD as she was not feeling well yesterday. I went to the restroom early yesterday morning and started spotting. I was sad but not surprised. So far it's pretty much been spotting and clearish discharge. No real clots or anything. I didn't even call the DR. I assumed I would have a natural M/C like last time and he wasn't very simpathetic so I just laid around all day yesterday. So today still just spotting. I am wearing a pad but it's not getting anything on it.

I called my DR and I am waiting for a call back. I don't feel good at all about this and I am just plain over it. I am less than a week away from my 1 year anniversary of my 1st loss. I just want to go home and snuggle DD.

Sorry this was so long. It's been a long few days.

  • I'm so sorry you are having to go through all this, but please don't give up hope just yet.  It sound like your Dr is very optimistic which is a refreshing change from what is usually said by doctors.  GL and I will keep you in my thoughts.

  • Oh hon I'm so sorry you're going through this, it is just awful waiting and wondering and going thru the u/s alone super sucks. I hope your doctor gets back to you soon and although I'm sure you are preparing yourself as much as you can, I am going to think lots of good thoughts that maybe the spotting is just a fluke. *HUGE HUGS* I think you should go home and snuggle your DD and just take it easy. Sending you every good thought I can!

  • I am so sorry you are going through this. :(

    A kind of similar thing happened to me. Two days before my ultrasound, I started spotting. It was never a flow, but happened a few times over two days. When I thought I was 6w, I went in for an u/s, and they didn't see a baby or yolk sac. Unlike your dr, they told me it was probably an abnormal pg and I was going to miscarry.  

    So I stopped taking my prog supplements, and went on to think I was about to m/c naturally. I felt devastated for a whole week, but kind of wasn't surprised, as it was going to be my 3rd m/c, and I had already felt scared & defeated. During that week, I even had more spotting/bleeding and AF-like cramping.

    Well, I went back a week later for a follow up (when I thought I was supposed to be 7w) and there was baby measuring 6w1d, with a yolk sac, and a heartbeat of 129. I thought there was no way I was a whole week off on my dating, considering I charted, used OPKs, had ewcm, and the timing of sex. I was so worried the baby was just not going to grow right. 

    However, since then, baby has made huge strides and is still growing.  

    Good luck, and keep us updated!!! Sending all of my T&Ps!
