  • @KathrynShustek that’s a great beta !!! Congrats
  • @KathrynShustek Congrats!! That’s a great number! Do you go back for a second draw? 

    @msd1001 How are you doing??

    I also came to update—I had my first u/s yesterday and we saw a tiny little peanut measuring one day ahead and heard a HB if 127. I go back on the 19th for another one and then will be released to the OB. *TW* The time between u/s when we lost our twin last time, so I’m naturally nervous, but the one we lost had a lower HR and I think was measuring slightly behind, so I’m trying to focus on the fact this little one was measuring ahead with a good HR. Man, IF kills the nerves! 


  • thanks ladies, @ashleymarie512 yes I go back thursday. so we shall see.

  • @msd1001 So residents are students. They are pretty much fresh out of med school and if they're in their first year residency, then they really don't have a whole lot of clinical experience. Also, ultrasounds are hard! So there's that, but top it off with the fact that this was an ER resident, which means they were probably boning up on all their trauma, infectious diseases, things like that, but it may have been awhile since they were really studying up hard on their OB. I do think that is pretty messed up that rather than getting another doctor's opinion, they would tell you something so scary, but that's probably what happened. So glad the RE had better news for you! Hopefully that SCH will resolve itself, and won't present any problems...
  • @msd1001 I’m glad you had a good appt! Continuing to send positive thoughts for the upcoming weeks! 
  • @KathrynShustek Any update from you yet??
  • @msd1001 Great news today!!  I'm so happy that things went well.  I can't even imagine how terrible it would have been if you would have stopped your meds.  I agree with @businesswife....residents are students and make mistakes...but that's a pretty significant mistake!  I'm thinking positive thoughts for your fighter peanut. 
    @KathrynShustek That's an awesome beta!!  Do you have to do a third beta or do you go directly to ultrasound?
    @ashleymarie512 Congrats on seeing your bean!!  It's so hard to be positive when you've had prior losses but it sounds like all looks good.

  • @Radmom27. Oh yeah!  Absolutely!  That is an YUGE mistake!!!  That's why I'm saying, I don't know why they didn't just stay cool and get another opinion before they said that!!!  I mean holy terrible bedside manner.

    @msd1001 I personally would call and let someone know what happened at the RE, too, just because.  Yeah.  That's a pretty unacceptable mistake. :/
  • @msd1001 I was 6-6, but measured 7-0, so one day ahead. I go back on the 19th...so nervous, but excited to see it again! 
  • Panicking a little. Tonight i had cramping and spotting. I hate this. Called the RE nurse hotline. They are not concerned. But that’s easy for them to say. Going to bed. Hoping i feel fine in the morning. Ultrasounds not until the 22nd and we leave for vacation on the 17th until the 21st. Want to have a little peace of mind on vacation. Just don’t know what they could do for me to give me that.

  • @KathrynShustek ****lurking****

    As long as the cramping is still pretty minor, (not like major, strong, doubled over period cramps), and it's just spotting (not a dark, heavy, bright red, full flow), it's totally normal early in pregnancy to have cramps+spotting.

    *****TW**** early pregnancy symptoms

    <div class=" Spoiler">I had spotting, (mostly brownish, but also some pink), for a good 9 or 10 weeks, and even one evening of bright red (but still light) the evening we were telling FIL at 8 weeks!!!  So scary that time, but I told them anyway, and all was fine.  Ironically, mine didn't go away completely until around the same time I tapered off PIO and onto suppositories.  This is why they say early KU symptoms and early AF symptoms can be the same!  So the spotting really can be normal, and you can expect a certain amount of mild cramping and pulling as the increased blood flow to the uterus causes it to start stretching and getting ready for baby.</div>
    Congratulations, and good luck!!!!  Try to relax and trust that you've done all you can do, and it's out of your hands now! ;)
  • @kathrynshustek FX everything is OK and you're able to get some confirmation before you leave on your trip.

  • @KathrynShustek Ugh, I’m sorry! I also had spotting/bleeding that turned out to be nothing. Will they have you come in for another beta? My office did, just to see where things stood and they ultimately decided it was random, “normal” bleeding. 

    @radmom27 Good luck today!!!
  • Thank you everyone your words are very comforting. the cramping and spotting has stopped. If it doesn't happen anymore then I will just trust the nurse at the hotline, if it starts up again, I may ask for another beta before I leave for vacation - just so I know whats going on.

    @KathrynShustek Oh no fingers crossed ! I hope it’s nothing ! Ivf pregnancies are so scary because bleeding is sooo common !!! It’s the scariest thing ! 
  • Thank you. Bleeding stop for about 20 hrs and then started up again. They moved my blood test up to tomorrow. So hopefully I’ll have news to report then. So sorry for monopolizing this board lately.

  • Don’t be sorry at all all that’s why we are here ! Do you think it could be a subchorionic hematoma again like your previous pregnancy ? I hope everything goes well tomorrow !
  • @msd1001 i sure do hope so. Or truly a progesterone side effect like they mention. If my calculations are correct I’m hoping for approx 16,000 hcg to signal everything is good. Thanks again ladies. My husband is out of town all week every week and i have the twins to myself. It’s been tough.

    @KathrynShustek So glad to hear!  Bleeding is so scary! 

    I had another ultrasound visit on Thursday . Baby is measuring 8 weeks and HR is 171. I can even see the umbilical cord, it’s crazy how fast they grow. My SCH is stable still measuring 3 cm but hasn’t gotten smaller so still worried . Does anyone know how long it takes for those to resolve?

    We have been released from the clinic . I go to my first OB appointment on Monday . It was bitter  sweet because my husband and I got very close to the staff there . I’ve been there since May of last year so you truly get to know these amazing compassionate doctors and nurses. You can tell they get very close to you as well , all hugs when we left .

    @ashleymarie512 did they say anything about stopping some of your meds yet? They pulled me off my estrogen because my blood test shows it’s over 800 and I guess they stop if your at 400. As for my PIOs I continue that till I’m 12 weeks.
