Nervous and need support..*Mini Update

edited December 2016 in August 2017 Moms
Hi Everyone...Im scared, nervous, driving myself crazy, and just need some support. I have had  prior miscarriages, the last was a partial molar, and am already nervous about this pregnancy. My periods have been wacky since my last mc so im between 5.5 to 7 weeks.

Two days ago I had brownish spotting, then the light pink spotting and cramping the whole time. I of course freaked out, called my dr who had me get my hcg and progesterone checked. Wednesday my hcg was 40,000 and progesterone 10.4. I got a call from my Dr who said my hcg is very high and my progesterone was good. what does very high mean? I also think that the progesterone is low, but he said its fine. I had a draw today to see what my hcg says so I guess today I will know the outcome.

The waiting stinks. I have my us Jan 5th but when your cramping and spotting that seems years away
I just needed to talk about it a little. I know many of you have had similar issues or have to wait to see your lil beans. The waiting just sucks.

Thanks for letting me let it out lol. 

**Update....Just got my 2nd draw labs which are at 47,000.  I dont know if its good or bad. my cramps are still there but light and my spotting is almost gone but makes an appearance when i have a bm.

    I have had cramping every single day since getting my BFP.  I had an IUI so I knew my ovulation date and have been seeing my infertility dr. I asked him about the cramping and he said it's completely normal and cramping throughout the entire pregnancy is normal and to be expected.  Your HCG level seems fine and the progesterone seems fine if your dr is concerned.  The spotting being that it's brownish could be implantation or irritation.  If it turns bright red than I would call the DR ASAP.  Good luck!

    I bled through my entire first trimester with DD. Prior loss too, so I feel ya. 40k is normal for 6-7 weeks gestation so that's right in track.  With my MC around that time my hcg was 550.

    I also think the hCG sounds great. Your progesterone sounds low to me tho. I was just under 9 with my last loss and the doctor was very worried and put me on a supplement. 10 is the vernlowest on the acceptable scale for progesterone. I would ask about that and see if you could get something prescribed.

    Thanks guys. I mostly just needed to talk about it a little. Im waiting on my hcg numbers from today which will at least tell me if im progressing or not. Once i get that, i may seek a second opinion on the progesterone. Everyone o know will progesterone numbers similar to mine were put on a supplement, i truly feel im on the low end and would benefit. Im just anxiously waiting for the hcg. My Dr and affiliated hospital have an online office type thing, you can see everything exactly when the dr can. Test results usually post about midnight so Im pulling a late one. I hope this is it, my rainbow.

    I completely understand.  I am sorry that you are going through this though!
    I am in the same boat.  I had some spotting that started Christmas Day.  I had an appointment the next day, and my doctor ordered a quantitative hcg test that day and Wednesday.  My levels were very similar on Wednesday.  Your HCG level sounds good based on the chart my doctor gave me too.
    I really hope you get good results, you stop spotting, and that this is your take home rainbow baby!

    Just wanna say hugs mama! I can relate, i went through the exact same thing last week, had my two beta draws and now waiting on u/s on the 4th. I hope everything turns out well, but 40,000 is great for this stage, funnily enough my hcg and progesterone are exactly the same levels as yours!

    @Glitter mine went up a similar amount.  They went from 31,000 to 39,000.  First draw was at 5 weeks 6 days.  Second draw was 6 weeks 1 day.  My doctor was happy with the increase.  You are still definitely in the range of normal!

    @glitter, once they get that high, then take much longer to double. Continuing to cross my fingers for you!
