Hello all, I posted on Thursday about my 27 weeker who is now 5, our still birth at 20 weeks and now this (we have been trying for 10 months)....Thursday I went in had several positives but the dr said negative did blood work my level was 16. But I ovulate late, my cycle is long, and it is very early so that didn't surprise me. So they tested me again Friday to see if my levels were rising but because it is memorial day weekend I won't know till Tuesday. This is so stressful. So I studied up on sensitivity of tests and bought several different kinds and have been taking them every day. The lines are a lot darker than they were friday or saturdsy and it's Monday so I feel like that's good. Anyone else been in this situation ? Prayers are appreciated.
Ok here is an update the dr called Tuesday said my levels went from 16 Thursday to 28 friday so they went uo which is good but I can't start lovenex yet so to come in next Thursday and we will make sure it is a viable pregnancy and go from there. I asked if something was wrong she said no my levels were low but that was because it was early so everything should be fine. Of course I am still a nervous wreck. I have to wait another week and a half to go in and make sure. I have taken more tests bc I am so worried. I took one this morning a first signal from walmart and it shows no line but I am hoping that is just bc it's a crappy test and I had peed twice throughout the night so it wasn't as concentrated. The wondofo test still showed a line still faint ish but darker than when I started taking them. I hate the unknown and getting my hopes up.
Thank you for the update. I'll be keeping you in my prayers. I drove myself crazy with my hcg #s this PG and messing around with different tests. The peeing 2x at night probably DID affect the test. But take your rising #s as a good sign. My #s were only rising 50% in 2 days. Sono at 7w showed everything was just fine. I know the waiting stinks! Hope all goes well next week.
Thank you @kcmichel I started thinking today that if she was concerned about my numbers that she would send me for another blood test. So I am hoping that means all things are normal and the sono is next week because I'm early....thank you for the prayers they are greatly appreciated!
My numbers were low, too. They said that as long as they increase they're happy. I think my progesterone was a 27. She told me not to Google, but if course I did and it seemed much lower than other people's. I'm 23 weeks tomorrow so if they're not worried, then I'd try to distract yourself... I say that because I know you can't relax. Thinking of you and sending you sticky baby dust!
Thank you @PlainJane8350 unfortunately everything seems to be going wrong now, I started spotting the other night a little brown then yesterday it was red and a lot more not heavy I would say moderate and I had one small clot. So of course I am thinking the worst. From what I have read on other threads it's pretty much 50/50 at this point. Some ladies experienced this and were fine and others had MC. I'm so scared mine is MC I'm not sure I can handle that right now but I'm praying and knowing God is in control.
I'm seriously praying you (and me) are just having some weird bleeding and our little beans are in there growing like they are supposed to. I've been slathering myself in progesterone cream because my dr basically scoffed at me when I asked to have my progesterone checked. I'm fairly certain it had a big part of my last two MC. Let's pray for miracles!
I am praying as well! I will pray for both of us! I read a long thread on another cite last night and there were tons of women who had the same thing and even big clots or lots of clots which I haven't and they were fine. I'm praying and believing that we are both going to have beautiful babies at the end of this, praying this is caused by something else. When do you see your dr?
@chelsb@cc.usu.edu I'm so sorry to hear that. I saw your other post just now, I'm glad they are doing a full blood work up. I will be praying that you get some answers! Thank you for the support. Yes I will let you know....I feel like it's stupid to even be hopeful at this point.
I'm so sorry, Chelsb. I saw a fertility specialist after my loss who determined the cause of that loss and discovered that I have a folic acid deficiency that wasn't why I lost that pregnancy, but could have caused me to lose a healthy pregnancy. Here's my email if you have any questions about the process I went through afterwards:
Well I went to the dr but don't know still....she did an ultrasound it didn't show anything. But she looked at my levels and since they were 16 two weeks ago and my cycle is long she said she can't see anything until my level is 2500 so there is a possibility it's still early. So she drew my blood and they will call me tomorrow.
Thank you @PlainJane8350 but I am 6 weeks one day today according to my last period however I think my ovulation could be off so maybe that's it honestly I don't think I am anymore.....they will be calling me tomorrow and I'm a teacher it's our last day of school. So getting that news at work should be awesome (she said with sarcasm)
So I didn't want to call the dr while I still had students in my room. I called about an hour ago and I didn't realize they closed early on Fridays. The emergency line operator told me that didn't constitute an emergency so she couldn't put my call thru. So now I have to wait till Monday to find out my results. This is just torture. I'm pretty sure I know...but I could be wrong and the dr wasn't positive and she knows as much as I do so then I think if she is saying there is a chance then I want to think that. But the longer this goes on is making me crazy and I may go insane.
@Olismom Im sorry you're going through this, waiting is unbearable. I live by expect the worst but hope for the best - still have to hope for the best. I think if something was wrong or #s were going down they would have called you to make you aware. Try to relax this weekend, stay busy if you can. Let us know how it turns out!
Thank you ladies! @kcmichel and @chelsb@cc.usu.edu I appreciate all the prayers and well wishes I have tried to stay busy this weekend and keep distracted. I'll keep yall updated. But I just wanted say thank you no matter how this turns out it has been so nice having you ladies support me and each other and understand things like no one else can. I wish you all the best!

I'm so sorry ladies that I have not gotten back to y'all with an update. Life has been a little crazy lately. My Dad has cancer and just finished chemo and radiation and is having a hard time and we have spent a lot of time helping them lately. Anyhow I called Monday and they told me that my labs showed the numbers decreasing and I had miscarried but the doctor hadn't looked at the results yet. On Wednesday they called to confirm that I had miscarried. Thanks again for your prayers. We are going to continue trying and hope for better results next time. Good luck to you all
So sorry for your loss @Olismom. Glad to hear from you and hope you are doing okay. Turns out I myself have suffered a MC. It was a missed MC so baby stopped growing 4 weeks ago and while Ive been bleeding Im still waiting on the proccess to carry itself out. Its great that you are not giving up! It's so hard for me to cope right now but I have moments of clarity where I realize I'm stubborn and not easily deterred so will keep trying too. Best wishes to you and to your father. Do take care and best of luck going forward : )
I'm so sorry! I always fear the worst, as I wouldn't feel like jumping on the board and repeating bad news. Thinking of you and your family. I'm sorry for your loss, too, @kcmichel.
@Olismom I kept checking the post to see what had happened, I was praying for you. I am so sorry for your loss and for what you are going through with your dad..sending you much love and strength, hope to see you back here soon. HUGS XO
