Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom? 6 weeks, 2 days. 5th time being pregnant, STM.

Previous loss(es)? Loss at 9 weeks , Loss at 5 weeks, Loss at 6.5 weeks.

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? We had an early US today as part of my RE's protocol, and everything looked great. We saw a lovely little flickering heartbeat, which was so reassuring. I just feel more positive about this pregnancy, and really hoping that this feeling is a good one.

Any appointment updates? see above. Next US on the 25th.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I feel like this holiday season is flying by, and nothing has really happened yet. I just know that once thanksgiving is here, it will be Christmas in a blink, and then the new year.

Any milestones coming up? Saturday gets me further along than 2 out of 3 of my losses. The closer I get, the better I can breath.

Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom? 7 weeks, 0 times a mom

Previous loss(es)? 1 in July

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Physically, nausea a lot, PIO lumps are pretty bad, fatigue, fairly persistent anxiety but seeing heartbeat helped last week. Happy to have nausea which I know is weird but it's a least a sign potentially of progress.

Any appointment updates? Had a great ultrasound last week, next visit 11/21 for 2nd ultrasound expect to be sent to Ob/GYN then

Rants/Raves/Questions? Ready for one of the holiday breaks, been an intense fall at work

Any milestones coming up? Have recently passed when I had my loss and also got first heartbeat ever. Taking all the positives I can.

Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom? 5w3/July 15/ zero

Previous loss(es)? March, September

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Physically pretty good which is emotionally hard. My symptoms come and go and I’m trying to remind myself that’s 100% normal

Any appointment updates? First OB on 11/15, first U/S on 11/25

Rants/Raves/Questions? I had my fourth beta drawn this morning and it felt like it took a million years to get the result. There was nearly a week between blood draws this time so just made it seem that much more important to see a huge increase. Went from 270 to 3000+ in five days so that feels really encouraging.

Any milestones coming up? Getting a great beta feels like a milestone and I’m going to try to trust that for the next couple weeks as we wait for the U/S.

footdrbritt · November 2019

Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom? 5+ 6 STM

Previous loss(es)? 2, one before my son at 7+2 and one in Feb 12+3, which was devastating

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Eh, cautiously optimistic, my RE has our ultrasound Friday, and I feel crappy but our last loss was after seeing a heartbeat and all that so I guess until this nugget is born I’ll probably be nervous

Any appointment updates? See above

Rants/Raves/Questions? I could rant for hours right now. PIO and I aren’t friends

Any milestones coming up? Friday, hopefully US goes well ❤️

rachelredhead That's a great jump in your HCG.

modoodles · November 2019

I am at 3+3. I have 4 healthy kiddos, and we had a loss in September.

How are you feeling? --Right now I'm cautiously thrilled. Is that a thing? I found out yesterday and I keep going from elated to terrified and back again.

Appointment updates-- This will be a big hurdle for me. I should call, but my office doesn't see anyone until 8 weeks, and that is just with a nurse educator. Then you dont see the dr. until 12 weeks. Back in September I had my 8 and 12 week appointments already scheduled, and ended up meeting the doctor to confirm miscarriage. I had never met that dr. before, and I'm almost afraid to go back. He was so, so wonderful, but it's scary. And maybe I'm superstitious. I haven't been able to wear the pajama pants I was wearing that morning either. The first appointment will have my anxiety through the roof.

No rants/raves/questions for me right now.

Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom? 6W+2D, FTM

Previous loss(es)? September at 7 1/2 weeks

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? So. very. anxious. My last pregnancy we found out at 6 1/2 weeks at the ultrasound that continued viability was a 50/50 chance. At the follow up scan at 7 1/2 weeks, the heartbeat was gone. I'm nearing the same point now, and I hate that I just don't know what's going on in there.

Any appointment updates? Finally got an appointment scheduled for ultrasound and doc visit on 11/21. Betas were good and went from 845 to 7400 over the course of a week, but my progesterone dropped. I'm going to have to start taking progesterone suppositories.

Rants/Raves/Questions? How is everyone else dealing with the anxiety that comes with waiting around for the first scan? I'm going out of town for a few days tomorrow night, so I think that will help, but the wait is dragging out.

Any milestones coming up? Just the first u/s where we hopefully hear a strong heartbeat this time.

Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom?
• 5 + 1 today, EDD is July 19th, mama to 2 in Heaven

Previous loss(es)?
•Early miscarriage in May at 5+2 and an ectopic pregnancy in August that was treated with chemo at 6 weeks

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically?
•Emotionally, I am so ready to get past the milestones of my previous losses and then I think I will feel a little bit better. I have been meditating, practicing yoga, and doing all the self care that I can which is helping. But, I'm still anxious.
Physically, I am exhausted with bouts of nausea, sore boobs, and constipation (thank you, progesterone suppositories!) *TW* I haven't had any bleeding this time around which has been very reassuring. *End of TW* Overall, this pregnancy feels very different and healthy.

Any appointment updates?
3rd and final beta HCG draw this AM. 6+3 ultrasound on 11/27 to rule out ectopic. 8+1 viability ultrasound + prenatal appointment on 12/9.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Headspace has a great pregnancy meditation course that I have been listening to while I take a lavender bubble bath with candles. This has to be the most relaxing self care ever.

I. Just. Want. To. Poop. Like. A. Normal. Person. Does anyone have any tips or tricks?

Anyone else out there with a previous ectopic?

So grateful to have this group and I look forward to getting to know you all ❤️🌈

iulishor · November 2019

Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom? 5W+3D, July 19, FTM

Previous loss(es)? 3 of them at 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 7+3

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? I'm nervous and constantly checking up on symptoms. Occasional boob press to make sure they're still sore, TP checking for spotting, it's exhausting 😕

Any appointment updates? First pregnancy US scheduled for 12.3. Betas doubled at 4 weeks and this morning was in the 1300s. This has been the highest beta of all 3 previous miscarriages.

Rants/Raves/Questions? - none just yet, wish the waiting wasn't so hard but there's nothing we can do.

Any milestones coming up? Making it to 8 weeks and that first US
