offtoneverland · March 2018

@marfi236 I can't believe they made you wait a week for a repeat beta. That's absolute torture!
@mockingjay1 I'm so anxious to hear how your US goes on Wednesday. Good luck!
Good luck to everyone else getting betas this week!

When is your appointment? I had my pregnancy confirmation appointment on Thursday and my next appointment is April 9th.

What is being addressed? Pap smear and physical exam, and the OB said hopefully the doppler too if it's not too early (I'll be almost 11 weeks).

Questions/Comments/Concerns? Am I only supposed to post here if my appointment is this coming week? I'm not sure, so I posted anyways.

middleschoolmommy · March 2018

@marfi236 I'm in the same boat! My first beta was last Wednesday and they are doing the 2nd check on Thursday... I hate that they are waiting so long!

marfi236 · March 2018

@offtoneverland It has been absolute torture!! I'll be glad once I get the results!
@middleschoolmommy It's the worst! I'm glad mine is just a week exactly! I can't imagine having to wait even one more day! I hope the beginning of the week goes super fast for you!

What is being addressed? I will have my first ultrasound and then will meet with my ob for probably a pap. Bleh.

Questions/Comments/Concerns? I'm just so ready for Wednesday. I started having symptoms, finally, so am feeling better about everything. But, hoping to get to see sweet baby and a heartbeat on our ultrasound. Wednesday can't come soon enough!

KristoKekerooni · March 2018

TW?

I guess I didn't update everyone, but I started bleeding yesterday. I woke up with a lot of brown blood soaking my pad (which I wear because of all the suppositories). I tried not to worry since it was all brown, but after getting up and moving for a few minutes, it turned bright red and I was passing a lot of large clots. It was a constant bleed, all day, but never terribly heavy, never more than a tablespoon an hour, it was just consistent. I woke up this morning to more blood in the pad, but the active bleeding seemed to have stopped, till I started moving around today, and it was more bright red. I really wasn't hopeful for the appointment today.

She was able to find the gestational sac pretty quickly, but we couldn't see a yolk sac, and it was measuring about a week behind. She couldn't find a source for the bleeding. At this point, we could just have a late implanter, it could be blighted ovum, or it could be the start of a loss, there just is no way to tell, but she was hopeful (aren't they always)?

For now, I am just waiting to hear back from the RE. The repeat betas should help us decide where we are headed.

Oh, here's a picture of little bee:

@KristoKekerooni fx’d for positive news for you!

lurvleybunchococonuts · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni Oh no, I am so sorry you're going through this hun *hugs* how scary! All the thoughts and prayers that you and your little bee are okay. Crossing all the things that your betas come back looking good and sending you all the good, positive thoughts.

goldie987 · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni I'm sorry you're dealing with so much uncertainty, that's so rough. Fxed you get good beta numbers

@marfi236 @middleschoolmommy my OB did betas a week apart with my first pg, back to back Thursdays. You'd better bet I was on the phone begging them for numbers the second Friday, not a chance I was going to sit there waiting all weekend. Hope you get numbers back soon!

When is your appointment?
Tomorrow for the Endo, Wednesday or Thursday for the OB
What is being addressed?
Optinizing thyroid hormone levels tomorrow, confirmation blood test at the OB .
Questions/Comments/Concerns?
I'm hoping going for my confirmation test later in the week means my levels will be high enough that they won't make me come back next week for a second test.

mockingjay1 · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni - I am so sorry you are going through that. I can't imagine how stressful that is. The waiting game sucks so bad. Everything crossed you get good news from your lab draw and at your next ultrasound.

CopperBoom86 · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni How scary! Hoping the best for you!

argyleagain · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. Hoping for the best for you

middleschoolmommy · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni so sorry to hear this. I hope you are resting and get some good news soon.

marfi236 · March 2018

@goldie987 Thankfully, I didn't have to wait too long! Got my results back only 5 hours after my test! My levels went up way more than I expected, from 101 to 3061!

middleschoolmommy · March 2018

@marfi236 that's great news!! I couldn't help it, and I called to move my blood draw up from Thursday to tomorrow =X

goldie987 · March 2018

@marfi236 that's such amazing turn around time! And great numbers!

thebobloblaw · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni I’m so sorry your going through this, so stressful. I hope everything turns out positively. Thoughts and hugs to you.

offtoneverland · March 2018

@tessiesmom26 @wannaflickone Good luck at your ultrasounds! I can't wait to hear how it goes.
@KristoKekerooni Oh lady, I am so so sorry for what you're going through right now. It goes without saying that I have my fingers crossed so hard for you and I'm sending all sorts of good vibes your way. Please keep us updated.

josie12367 · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni So many hugs to you. I can't even imagine what you're going through. I'm fx everything that your little bean is doing just fine and that your next ultrasound shows just that.

vicioustrollop · March 2018

When is your appointment?
Friday @ 9am
What is being addressed?
Early ultrasound due to m/c in January
Questions/Comments/Concerns?
I asked this in randoms, but I guess I could mention it here. I think I'm scheduled in the u/s lab so I assume that means no dildo cam? At 6+2 will they see anything with a regular u/s? I didn't have one with my first until 10w so this is new to me.

KristoKekerooni · March 2018

They called late yesterday with my beta results. It was only 475. An entire week ago it was 261. So it didn't even double in an entire week. Office protocol is to do one more US and lab draw, just in case. I don't think there is any sort of chance that baby is okay, but I will update after that appointment, on Friday.

lurvleybunchococonuts · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni Oh no *hugs* I am so sorry to hear it wasn't a better beta results. I'm praying so hard your baby bee is okay

Either way be kind to yourself girly. Feel free to PM me if you need. *so many kitten headbutt snuggle hugs* Praying so hard for you, YH, and your bee

mockingjay1 · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni - I am so sorry. I know you know the odds, but I am still praying for a miracle for you.

tessiesmom26 · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni I'm so sorry you got upsetting results, but count me in as praying for a miracle for you

Take care of yourself.

lifesabeach85 · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni I am so so sorry you are going through this. I hope you get your miracle and that you are surrounded by love and support in this difficult time.

middleschoolmommy · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni I'm sorry hun. Praying for you and sending all the love.

prairiemomma82 · March 2018

Had my first ultrasound today. “Slightly irregularly shaped gestational sac in uterus” “small poorly defined yolk sac and what appears to be embryonic tissue measuring 5w6d” no visible heartbeat.

According to lmp, should be 6w3d, but cycles have been irregular since loss last year (28-34 days) so hoping dates are just off. Hcg was 6049 on Friday and 12001 yesterday.

So... Test again tomorrow. Scan again next week. Crying/praying in bed today.

pelorunningmama · March 2018

@KristoKekerooni I am also praying for you and am so sorry you received that news. Hugs and take good care of yourself.

pelorunningmama · March 2018

@prairiemomma82 Praying dates are just off and next week's scan looks great. Your numbers sound good!

mockingjay1 · March 2018

@prairiemomma82 - Everything crossed your dates are off and you get good news at your next ultrasound.
