@omg1108 I'm so sorry you're going through a similar hell. When every day feels like forever, I don't know how doctors think we can stay sane for TWO weeks!!! Praying for a good outcome for you
@omg1108, I'm so sorry your appointment was not what you had hoped. Thinking of you as you wait for the follow-up and hoping for good news at your next appointment.
Hi all, I'm out as well. Had a call this morning that my beta levels are only at 8,000 despite not having cramping or spotting. Just waiting on an u/s appointment to confirm the inevitable, a missed miscarriage. 4th m/c at around 9.5 weeks, all seem to be between 8-12 week mark. Of course yesterday I had taken the $750 panorama test...Devastated doesn't begin to explain it. Wishing you all the best luck with your pregnancies.
I'm spotting a lot more today -- rusty brown, enough to fill a pantiliner. I've put a message in to the RE, but I am just nauseated with anxiety right now.

@soralette, thinking of you and hoping you can get some reassurance today.
I have my first ultrasound tomorrow morning at 7w5d - a scary moment of truth. Better to know if something is wrong than not know, but the lead-up to the significant appointment is stressful.
@naveed7 I am so so so sorry! Words can’t even do justice to the heartache and pain that I’m feeling for you! Hopefully the panorama, despite being frustratingly expensive, can help provide some form of answers or steps for moving forward!
We have our 8 week U/S tomorrow and I can’t tell if I’m nauseous from pregnancy, anxiety, or flu-like symptoms. This pregnancy has been a MAJOR waiting game. At 6 weeks they only saw a GS with nothing else except for a massive 9cm ovarian cyst.
My friend is currently about 24 weeks pregnant with her second and I just keep thinking how easy it’s all been for her and why so many of us have to go through it this way?!? She got pregnant the first time without trying. The second time she came off BC and got pregnant the next month on the first try. She hasn’t contemplated or worried that she could lose the baby even once... and im SO happy for her that she hasn’t had to experience that pain but I DO wish that blissful peace of mind for all of us :-(
I’m hoping after tomorrow, if things go well, that I can ask for weekly U/S’s until 12 weeks or until I can hear the heartbeat on my home Doppler. The anxiety and waiting is so hard! To top it off, one of my best friends asked me to be in her wedding which would be the week before my due date in another state. She told me two bridesmaids already dropped out because they’re pregnant and due that month, and another is going to be TTC soon and will hopefully be very far into the pregnancy then. I don’t want to sound mean but... I hope and pray that I have to back out of the wedding because I’m finally getting my triple rainbow baby 🌈 🌈 🌈 I didn’t feel confident telling her I was pregnant with our history since I haven’t shared all of our losses with her yet.
@sunshine2417 I hate the waiting game!! And I hate the fact that pregnancy, for some of us, is not the joyous, carefree, innocent, easy path, that it is for some women. But, if anything, I try to remind myself that all of these struggles and heartaches and anxiety make me a much more compassionate and empathetic woman. Those of us that have gone through a miscarriage (s) are stronger than we ever thought we were. I am praying so hard for you to see a wiggly little nugget with a strong heartbeat tomorrow. Keep us posted.
Ugh, I’m so sorry to hear of the stress and waiting. Sometimes it’s worth asking to be seen sooner than they offer for your emotional health. I’m thinking about you wonderful women. It shouldn’t have to be so danged hard 😞 Hoping to hear good news soon. 🤞🏻
We just got back from the ultrasound! She immediately went in and went to look at my cyst and my husband whispered “I THINK I SEE THE BABY!” And I was so anxious wondering why she would go to the cyst first!!!! But thankfully, we saw our sweet little jellybean with a HB of 174! Due date of Sept 18th so we are 8 weeks and 2 days! I’m breathing a little more and have let out some of the air I’ve been holding on to. I’m hoping to become more trusting and confident now that we’ve seen the HB and everything—I know I’ll still worry. For today, I am pregnant, and that makes me so very thankful and happy! Hoping for more good news for you ladies as well! ❤️❤️❤️
Unfortunately my hcg levels are not good. They dropped from over 9000 to 6000 in the last two days. So the doctor called in a prescription to induce a miscarriage. I am heartbroken & wish you all the best. I already have a referral for an reproductive endocrinologist & another specialist that handles recurring miscarriages & high risk pregnancies. I hope to be back with a successful pregnancy in the near future.
@omg1108 I'm so sorry to see this update. It is so unfair. It sounds like you have a plan moving forward. Hopefully you can get some answers soon. I am sending you big big hugs. ❤
@omg1108 I am so, so sorry to hear this! Hopefully the RE will have some answers and be able to help you achieve pregnancy again soon. Take care of your heart and know we will be thinking of you as well. It is so, so, so painful and unfair!
@omg1108 -- I am so, so sorry for your loss. *HUG* I hope the RE can get you some actionable answers.
@eller-2@nomangos23@40momma@zuuls_mom -- My RE's basically just patting me on the head, but given that we've been getting epic amounts of snow here in Seattle (my neighbourhood's had 6" in the past two days, no snow plow, and a couple BIG hills), I couldn't've gone in for a scan or blood work or anything, so... pats-on-the-head via email is just about all I can hope for. First ultrasound is scheduled for tomorrow; I hope we'll be able to drive there. We intend to give ourselves an extra hour of travel time (it's normally a 20-25min trip), just in case. Thank you for thinking of me.

@soralette I'm just up the coastline from you in Canada and we are getting snow too (we rarely do here as well). I'm sure tomorrow will be stressful but just take your time, drive safe, stay positive and remember to breathe. Fingers crossed for excellent news

@soralette Really hoping it's is no big deal. Rusty brown is okay... Probably just an SCH
@naveed7 I'm so sorry, I know how heartbreaking this is. Please be kind to yourself.
@soralette thinking of you, spotting is so darn scary. I'm really hoping it's nothing and you get some answers soon
@soralette I hope you can get checked out soon! I know how nerve wracking bleeding/spotting can be.
