so nervous. I'm about to book an appt

I have been nervous about this from day 1. I just had leep in August to remove cancer, I just stopped yasmin last month and the only reason I took an hpt was that I had bad cramps for days. My new dr only does one beta which was 24 which of course, made me more nervous. Now I'm not a paranoid or generally nervous person. Ive been through 3 very different pregnancies but I dunno, this one I have been probably because my last dr was so comforting and pro-active. 

Anyhow.. I've had exhaustion, I've had the cramps, I'm bloated so much I've had 3 people ask if I was pregnant. My already too large tatas are spilling out of my bra and they have been sore. Over the last weeks or two the cramps have gotten better and replaced with almost a braxton hicks type feeling. My exhaustion is still here, the bloating still here, and the tatas are still way too big, but the pain is gone, no nausea.. I'm eating more and better (I had lack of appetite). In fact if it wasnt for the bloated belly, in the mornings I wouldnt even feel pregnant. By afternoon of course the sypmptoms are stronger.

So sorry for rambling but I was volunteering today and I either over-did it or something is not right. I have stabbing pains. I emailed my dr who said to book an urgent appt. I'm just scared to go to the dr. I will go, and I'm about to book it, but ahhhhh I just want the baby to be ok and I'm freaked out. I havent told anyone so I have to vent this here :( 

Thanks for listening.... I'll update everyone later

  • Fingers crossed that everything is ok!

  • Well the good news is that it's not an ectopic pregnancy like my dr was concerned about. My cervix is closed and they think the pain is from the rather large cyst on my right ovary which doesn't concern them. The bad news is all we saw was a large sac. The dr said based on my really low beta and the vaginsl ultrasound not showing anything more than a sac that I'm not nearly as far along as we thought. They cancelled my next weeks appt and booked one for the 5th instead and said hopefully we will see something then.

    How far along do you think you are?

  • I have no idea and they said until they can see a baby they can't guess. I just got off Yasmin so I do buy that I'm not as far along as my lmp. On the 8th my hcg beta came back as 24. That's all I got. He said if he sent me to radiology they could probably see something with their machines but he saw no reason to do that. At one point he thought maybe he saw something in there and switched to color Doppler or something like that but we didn't see anything
  • Oh and he said the sac size was def bigger than what I would have if I was still at 24 so he said he's not alarmed. But he kept reminding me that it's anyone's game still whether I miscarry or carry to term. i hate waiting games but am relieved it's not ectopic. I just hope on the 5th we get a heartbeat. I know I will cry out of happiness
  • I'm happy to hear it wasn't ectopic. I hope you get good news at your next appointment.

  • If it helps I went to the OB at 5 weeks 3 days and there was only the sac no matter what way they put the US, this past wed. was a week later, and we saw a fetus and heard a heart beat:)
