  • @purplg8r I'm so sorry you weren't able to get your bloodwork results in time for the weekend. Hugs. 

    I have no idea about how temps work with bfps and mcs. I hope someone else can weigh in. 

    Good luck. We're thinking of you.

    *tw* loss mentioned 

    @purplg8r fx for you that everything is fine. When I had a CP I was still getting bfps on frer digitals for about 2 days when I was spotting. But your case sounds very different since you started bleeding so many days ago so if it really started then I don't think your body would've had enough time to build that high of an hcg level for it to still be detected 12 days later on a test so hopefully this is a different story! I hate when docs offices drag their feet on calling with results. Good luck!! Keep us posted!

  • i didn't chart last month. I temped three times after the day I thought I O'd to make sure they were high. They were. Then I checked 9 days from when I thought I O'd to see if it would drop like normal. It did and I started to spot like normal.  That's the bottom chart.  Then the top chart is from when I thought AF started. My cover lines have been anywhere from 97.7 to 97.9. So this has been much lower.

    When I had my second M/C I was a little further along (6w) but my temps were pretty low throughout. I tend to run lower temperature wise in general and my RE said everyone is different so...I also got BFPs for a long while after I started bleeding (4 weeks).

    I truly hope this isn't the case for you. FX'd so hard that you get good news!!

  • @VLillyV congrats!!  I hope it's a happy & herhy 9 months!!

    Ok--so this is dear diary-ish but  I need to get it out & get advice---
    I got my results back. My hcg on Thursday was 434. I asked what that meant and she said any number greater than 10 is positive. I asked what my numbers for Saturday were and she said "oh, you had to get bloodwork 48 hours later?"  I said yes so she went looking for them. Came back with results of 421.  I said "oh so they dropped". She said "yes but not by 100 points or anything. And only to worry if you've  been bleeding or cramping". Which I said I had been. But I know that the numbers should be doubling.  She then said they want me to go in for an ultrasound tomorrow afternoon. 

    I I personally dont lthink it's good. I've been taking BFP morning & evening since I have those wondfos. They were all strong until last night. That one and this mornings were a lot fainter. Also, Saturday and Sunday the flow had turned to barely spotting.  But today it's back to bright red & clots (though not as heavy)

    debating on if I want H to go.  I haven't told him yet.  If it's bad news is rather process it alone & tell him in a few days.  I don't like to be upset in front of anyone and will just fake it.   But if it's positive, and I'm going to see something in the ultrasound, then I want him to be there.  What do you guys think?
  • @purplg8r hugs girl. mid 400's are good numbers but they should be increasing not staying stagnant. As for having DH there or not I would have him there.  I know you said you'd like to process on your own but seeing the ultrasound sometimes hits you like a ton of bricks if the news is bad. If the news is good you'd want him there too.    This is so much to deal with on your own. I am so sorry your still in limbo. I really hope that your little peanut surprises everyone tomorrow.

  • @purplg8r Thank you for coming back to update us.  I'm keeping FX for a sticky bean and appropriately doubling numbers.  I agree with @wabash15; I understand your need to process things alone but with something so big, I feel like I would want DH there for the support if the news is bad.  If the news is good then I would want him there to celebrate.  Please please keep us updated!

  • @purplg8r I'm crossing everything for you! 
  • @purplg8r Thanks for updating us. I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. Hugs to you.  I am like you. I like to process things on my own and don't like to be upset in front of anyone, so I totally understand being unsure if you want DH there. I would probably want to be alone, process my feelings either way, and then fill in in DH. But like I said, I'm very private, and I know that for many people it would be much easier to have a support person there. I am keeping my FX for you and thinking of you.

    @purplg8r I'm so sorry this is happening to you. If it were me, I'd tell my husband - one, he'd be mad if I didn't and two, I think shared sorrow (if it is bad news) is half sorrow. But do whatever feels right for you. Many many creepy internet hugs.

  • @purplg8r : Sorry this is still a confusing time. Still crossing fingers that all ends up well. 

    Regarding the appointment: Given your situation, I would want DH there for support. I think you will end up appreciating it, regardless of the outcome.

    ***TW**Personally, for my CP, I decided to go alone. I wasn't very far along and already had a feeling I knew what the outcome was. I too wanted to process on my own. I ended up regretting it. Even though it was just having the results read to me to confirm a miscarriage, the whole situation felt  cold, lonely and depressing. I texted DH afterward, but I wish he had been with me. He had offered to go, but I insisted I went alone. Looking back, I wish I would have had him there. **TW**
  • *lurker/siggy warning *

    @purplg8r I'm sorry you have to go through this and I have my FX for a good outcome for you. <3  As far as telling your H *TW* one of my main regrets about my MC is that my H wasn't there for my first U/S. He didn't get to see our babies heart beating like I did. He only got to have the bad news and not enjoy the good time. I also went alone for my last U/S where they confirmed my loss. I still am unsure how I managed to get myself home after such terrible news. I fully intend on my H being there for every U/S from now on. *End TW * of course you should do whatever you are comfortable with, but if it were me, I'd want my H there, no matter the outcome.

  • @purplg8r - So many good thoughts coming your way.  I'm so sorry. You gotta do you, but I'd cast another vote for having H there. *TW* I've done it both - gotten the m/c news alone and when my H was there.  While I'm not a talker and I like to process things on my own, having him there was incredibly helpful.  Plus I wouldn't want to have to tell him, I'd rather him find out with me and then us process in our own ways.

    @purplg8r I'm so incredibly sorry you are going through this.    I'm praying that this is your sticky bean.    In regard to your ultrasound tomorrow, I don't want you to be even further disappointed so I wanted to let you know that even if this is a viable pregnancy, a sac will not be visible on ultrasound until your HCG reaches 2000+.   I'm not 100% sure what your doctor expects to see on the ultrasound this early and if what can be seen will or won't confirm viability.. but I'm definitely praying that it offers you some insight into what is going on, because I know first hand that  being in limbo like this is the worst feeling in the world. Again I'm so sorry you are going through this. You are in my prayers  <3
  • Thanks for pointing that out @kiki75, I totally didn't mean to make it sound like it's impossible to determine viability at this point.  Like you said, sometimes it is completely visible that the blood/tissue is gone.  It's just not always 100% clear cut with super early ultrasounds and they can sometimes only lead to more questions.  **TW  This happened to me with a previous CP.. my HCG had stopped rising but the lining hadn't begun to shed yet, so at that point it did still look like it could/would be viable on early ultrasound. End Tw**   I think sometimes doctors don't tell women what to expect, and it can lead to more frustration and heartache in the long run.   
    @purplg8r you are in my thoughts, praying for good news at your US tomorrow  <3
  • @purplg8r Lots of hugs. The decision is ultimately your own, but *TW* when I went in for my blood work to confirm my M/C I was a mess before we even saw the doctor. I know that there is no way that I could have driven myself home. DH was my rock. He's the one who remembered what the doctor said about next steps, what we should watch for, etc because I was in a fog *End TW.* If you don't bring DH I would suggest at least bringing someone. You shouldn't have to go through this alone.

    Lots of hugs and I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

  • @purplg8r I am crossing my fingers for you that you get positive news. It's such an emotional roller coaster and not knowing for sure what is going on is just draining.  I saw someone else question progesterone...did they say anything about those numbers?
    Just from my experience, I'm with everyone who said to tell your husband. I hate the thought of someone going through the past couple of days of uncertainty alone. 
    *TW*My husband was there for my confirmation of pregnancy(during an unrelated ER visit). After a few more days of blood work to watch my numbers, I got a phone call that I should expect my period-my progesterone was low and numbers weren't increasing the way they'd like. Unfortunately, I got that phone call at work. By the time I got home, my husband had ordered pizza and called out sick to be with me.  I'd imagine either way, you will be glad that you told/brought him.  End TW*

    Praying for great news for you and your husband tomorrow. 

  • @purplg8r I'm so sorry you are going through this. You know YH better than anyone, so just do what you think is right for your family. FX so hard for you.
