Kristokekerooni, I won't tag you so you can see this when your ready. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I have followed you on ttgp for awhile and i sincerely hoped this was your rainbow. Please be kind to yourself and know that you have many Bumpies in your corner ready to support you when you're ready
@eabrahamson my first beta was at 16dpo, second at 18dpo. I'm waiting for the call sometime today about my results since they don't upload them to the patient portal until well after they've called.
TW.... So sorry for the losses. I am not the best with commenting on these, not for lack of compassion, but bc of the personal memories. One day it will be a sad memory for you too but one of the challenges on the way to getting your perfect baby. Any time I think of my loss, I just have to look at my son and think, if not for the loss I wouldn't have him. So it's still sad but it can't be wrong or bad. /TW
I did have my first appointment today at 8 weeks. I got a script for a dating US to do ASAP but I can not get an appointment for 3 weeks due to the holiday! I ended up scheduling for April 3 at a facility farther away just so I can get in. Otherwise it would have been 4/11 dating ultrasound and 4/20 NT ultrasound. Ridiculous
@Eveinshock I had a very similar situation. I went to the OB last week and the Dr. wanted a dating ultrasound ASAP. The scheduling lady put me down for April 10th! I've called back since then and gotten it moved to April 4th... but still. Thankfully, the 2nd OB office I'm considering has me scheduled for one next Thursday. It's driving me crazy having to wait.
Following in Josie's footsteps of not tagging so you can see it when you're ready... Kristo, I am so so so sorry girl. There are no words to express how much my heart hurts for you. Be kind to yourself. Take your time to heal. I know you're aware of all the love and support we have for you but please take advantage of it. We're here if you need anything and I'm raising the biggest middle finger to IF for you. It's so unfair and I am so sorry you're going through this again. *all the hugs and love to you and yh* Eta: you are one of the strongest women I *know* you WILL get through this in time even if you're not okay right now

Kristo, friend, again I tell you I wish I had a single drop of something to bring you comfort & peace. I’m only a PM away. Please, please take care of yourself & know that whatever you need to do right now to cope or not process shit or whatever, is okay. Given what you have been through and what you are going through, it is understandable to want to numb out and feel any or all the feels and yet feel nothing at all. I wish I had one single thing of worth to say to your shattered hopes & dreams. ❤️
When is your appointment? April 26th What is being addressed? Meeting the midwife Questions/Comments/Concerns? This is my second pregnancy I went right away to a midwife the first time but i'm going to a different place this time. i'm just concerned if anything happened between now and then how will I get help maybe they just don't want to see you until it is less likely of a MC at 8 weeks. Also I weight lift and I wanted to know if I should take any precautions but I guess if i'm healthy and I listen to my body I will be fine.
Got my BFP two days ago and experiencing bleeding today... it seems to be getting heavier. I’m very very confused. Not very optimistic.. haven’t even had a doctors appt yet.
@onesassybishh I'm sorry you're experiencing bleeding. Hoping all is okay. Have you called your dr to at least schedule things/get everything check out?
Afm appt today went great! Little dot did a great job growing from last week. Guesstimate at dating is 6w0d which is close to exactly on track (6w0d is tmrw based on LMP). Best part we saw the ittiest bittiest flutter of a heartbeat!!! Tried to get a listen, unfortunately we couldn't audibly hear it but measured as 122bpm don't have to go next week for a follow-up since today went so well. Graduate to first "official" prenatal appt scheduled for 3 weeks from today with lab/intake a week beforehand. U/S pic posted on the u/s thread.

Kristo, I am so so sorry. I cannot possibly say anything better than what Josie, coconuts, and jrm already said, so I won't try. Please be kind to yourself and know that you have so many people thinking of you and flipping off the universe for you. Know that you are loved, even though it feels like the world is against you.
The nurse assistant called. They said since my numbers didn't double that I need to go back Saturday for another blood test to keep an eye on it. How worried should I be?
@eabrahamson - I wish I could say not at all but that might not be true. At this point not doubling might mean nothing or it might mean that something is wrong. I really hope it's the first. Sending good vibes your way.

Betas:
16dpo - 354
18dpo - either 1024 or 1204, I scribbled so fast its illegible I don't remember but it was over 1000!
That gives a doubling time of something like 31 hours and I'm so excited
