I feel like I'm perpetually in limbo.
To back it up a bit, on Sunday I went into the ER for bleeding. At that point it was early in week 5. They did the ultrasound, found gestational sac and yolk sac. No embryo, which is normal for week five. Hcg came back at 3853.
On Tuesday I went back to the ER because I couldn't get an appointment with any OB before the 8 week mark, even with bleeding. The bleeding was heavier and they did draws again, which came back at 5935.
I managed to get in to see my OB on Wednesday. Bleeding was the heaviest on that day with some very small clots. Draws were done yet again, and came back today at 6600. So, kind of a slow rise, but within normal limits.
Of course I'm classified as threatened miscarriage and high risk. I'm still bleeding, but it's much lighter than it was on Wednesday. Still dark and red though. They did another draw today, and I go in for another sonogram on Monday with a follow up appointment on Thursday. I'll find out my numbers from today on Monday.
I just feel like I need to know, one way or another. This limbo is driving me crazy. On one hand I am hopeful. On another I am trying not to be hopeful. I don't want to get my hopes up and have them come crashing down when my numbers drop.
We tried for 3 years for this baby, and I've been in a funk of depression since Sunday basically. I don't know what to think, what is normal, or even how to feel.
I feel like I got to enjoy the thought of being a mother for all of a week before it was snatched away. And it's not even snatched away yet, I just feel like it is!
This is actually the first time since Tuesday that I allowed myself to come to May board, because every time I tried I would burst into new tears.
Update:
I had an ultrasound this morning and they did find a subchorionic bleed. They saw the fetal pole and yolk sac and a little flickering heart beat on the abdominal scan, and obviously clearer on the transvaginal scan.
A few things confuse me though, as I was tracking ovulation the measurement was 5 weeks 5 days. It did say plus or minus 3 days though. I guess that's normal?
The heartbeat is only 96 bpm right now, but I hear that's normal for so early on.
I wont find out my next beta's until later today, but I guess everything is going as planned! Anyone out there have any input or thoughts? This is my first pregnancy and I'm just at a loss as to what is normal and what is not!

If this little seed survives, I tell you, it will be our little miracle. Worked so hard to get it, working so hard to keep it!
I'm on bed rest right now and I'm pretty miserable.
I'm going to be alone for the first day since Tuesday, so I'm a bit apprehensive that things are going to get worse while I'm alone.
Right now I'm just spotting, which is making me hopeful. I'm trying to tell my brain to stop with the May baby daydreams.

TCM says that lotus seed consumption will 'cool' your kidneys and help prevent miscarriage as is also said for chaste berry or other vitex plants.
I'm military and even though I'm high risk for my age (44), they won't relent on standard procedure as to when my first appointment will be.
I know all about bedrest. It can make the days sooo long. Now would be a perfect time for video binging or watching season after season on Netflix. You will get through this.

Even though you know when you ovulated/conceived, I'm sure it's still normal for measurements to be ahead/behind so I wouldn't worry much about that at this point.
LCT - 5.15.14 ~ 9lbs, 22.5 inches
Yay for a heartbeat! That is huge!!
I wanted to tell you that with DS, when I went in for my 1st u/s, they measured him at 6w5d, which was about 3 days behind what I thought he was based on O. I was worried, but he ended up catching up and measured right on track the next 2 u/s I had. GL!
Congrats!
