Pregnant after a Loss

Intro

Hi ladies. I don't know which board fits me.

We had a miscarriage at 5 weeks with our FET baby Sept 2013. Summer 2014 we adopted embryos & just transferred in December.

We got through rising betas the last week of Dec. (212 & 508). Then went in Friday at what should have been 6 weeks by my transfer dates but all we seen was a sac & yolk sac. Possible 2nd sac. Visibility was very
Bad with my tilted uterus.

My RE said he gives 3-4 days difference so he said I was only at 5w 3d by his calculations. Didn't say what the sac measured. I got an early BFP at 4-5dp5dt & have been spot on with my last transfers so I still feel I was about 6 weeks.

I know 6 weeks is right when hearts start beating but with my other kids we had heartbeats by 5w 6d so I'm a mess. Next u/s is Friday which of course seems forever away. My RE was only bummed he couldn't say how many & said he had no reason to worry right now but my anxiety ridden brain is terrified we're going to go Friday & it will just be a black hole again .... it's not personal to him. It's just science. I love my RE but even his reassurance doesn't feel like enough. I know I can't change anything but I can't get rid of the worry.

My anxiety had actually calmed alot after my betas went up & I even felt good going into the ultrasound but walking out with no definite answers has brought all the emotions back.

I don't feel I fit in on any other boards right now & wanted to intro here ....

Re: Intro

  • I'm so sorry for your previous loss.  Welcome to the PGAL board and congrats on this pregnancy.  Sending you many positive thoughts as you await your next scan on Friday.  It's such a hard wait.  I don't have any experience with measuring smaller and then catching up, but I know there are ladies here who have.  I hope you are able to find support here.  The mantras posted at the top of the board are great- Today you are pregnant and you love your baby/babies.

  • Thank you all so much!
  • Thank you! I am praying that's all this one is too. I have read so many stories where heartbeats didn't come till later in the 6th week & this may be a slow starter too. I may be a few days behind on growth or something. RE didn't actually say.

    But we all know that anxiety .... ugh. Wish it was gone. I do have some hope for Friday. At least I'll have better answers by that point.
  • Welcome and congrats!  I'll be keeping everything crossed for you that Friday brings great news and you can breathe a little easier.
