Staying or going...I am praying to stay

jodes727 · September 2012

So I had my first appt today. I am 8 weeks tomorrow. OB did an internal and said my uterus felt smaller than it should be. So he wanted to do an US (which I wasn't supposed to have at this appt). I had an internal US and they could see the sac with fluid but nothing else During this time, they tested my urine with a pregnancy test and it came back positive...

So he said two things could be happening. 1. My dates are off/I ovulated vey late and I am not far enough along. Or 2. My body is ready to have a miscarriage. They took blood to get my beta levels and I will have to go back in on Monday to get more blood work done and then they will call on Tues with what my new levels are.

I am SO nervous/scared/confused and about 100 other feelings. Has anyone gone through this or have any advice? Tuesday seems like forever away!

I understnad some of what you are going through my first ultrasound was done was i was estimated to be 4 weeks 3 days. we couldnt see anything yet. Although i was told this is normal I have to go back October 11th to have another ultrasound...I cant begin to explain how nervous I am that baby wont be there or something will be wrong. Needless to say I understand how you feel.

unfortunately I'm going through the same thing as you. Today I went to see the dr after they ordered me bloodwork because I was spotting and cramping yesterday all day. My levels were a decent level today but not as high as they should be for 7 weeks. They did an ultrasound and they only found a sac which was measuring 5w3d. Which is possible after I went back through and calculated when we had sex in Aug. I go back sat. to get more bloodwork then if my #'s go up another ultrasound on thurs to see if we can see anything else.

I will have you in my thoughts for your appt. on Tuesday.

I totally get it right now! I went in for a first US 9/19 at 6.5 weeks, no heart beat and only measuring 6 weeks. 4 days later I went back, heart beat was normal and visible, but only measuring 6 wks and 1 day. MD is very concerned with the slow growth and told us that we only have a 15% chance of this being a "normal" pregnancy. I have to wait 8 days (next tues) for another US but he is predicting that the heart will slow and stop. I won't naturally miscarry because I am on Prometrium 2x/day. Completely heartwrenching--today is the first day I haven't been a complete bawl baby since monday, but just thinking about it makes me so sad to know this may happen and even if the heart is still beating, if there's not much growth it's makes me wonder what lies ahead for us and baby.

My boss at work who is super sweet has been through multiple miscarriages and even delivered stillborn at 6 months so sitting down and talking to her yesterday really helped because she gets it! She said this time is tough because you have to mourn and hope at the same time and she is so right. We are praying so hard right now that baby grows!!

Hang in there and keep yourself busy! You just have to take it one day at a time. My milestone today is that I washed my hair and made it through a days work without flipping out on someone or being a complete emotional mess! I won't tell you not to stress because I haven't been doing a very good job of that these last few days. Know that you have tons of support....thoughts and hugs go out to you! Hoping you have good news!!

I'm really sorry you are going through this right now. I will pray for you and for everything to be ok.

I am not in the same situation but I have been having an issue that I hope resolves as well. IT's so hard when you just don't know where you stand and all anyone can say is hope and pray.
