Seansgirl - did you get your beta results back?

[seansgirl]

Hey everyone. Im sorry for responding so late. My betas went up to 9800 and then 17000 but unfortunately it ended for me Tuesday night. I started having severe cramping and then had huge amounts of bleeding and clots. I lost my baby. 😭 Even to write this breaks my heart. This whole process is so unfair and I dont know how people move on from this. This was our one and only embryo. I knew that there was a high risk of miscarriage as it was untested but having great betas gave me hope that this was it for me. Im not in a good place right now. My clinic has been amazing with everything calling and checking on me. My nurse gave me her number to call her I need support. I wish you guys all the best.

Seansgirl- that brings tears to my eyes to read that!! Im so so so sorry! I hope you find peace to move on. I cant even imagine how hard that is for you!! I wish I knew what to say to make it better but I cant even imagine!

Seansgirl - Im so sorry to read this! I cant even imagine the pain you are feeling. Its so hard when everything is so positive (strong betas etc) and then just robs you. Very unfair and confusing. My greatest fear for sure in this process.

Seansgirl, I am so very sorry to hear this. So unfair.

1118 - when do you go for your ultrasound? How have you been feeling?

[1118]

Hi SD11. How are you doing?

 

I actually went for my ultrasound on March 26th, and everything looked great. The babies heartbeat was 170!  I was in disbelief!  I had spotting (mostly brown) on and off for a few days that week as well (and a couple days the week before). They could see where there was a little blood and said I may see some brown again, but I haven't yet. I've been having symptoms that come and go, so was very worried but everything was fine! My symptoms were mainly feeling seasick ish (nausea with no vomiting) some days (through night and day), but it didn't start until 6 weeks, and went away for nearly a week in between 6-8 weeks. It was back this week. Yesterday I felt fine, so naturally worried, but then today feel crummy again! My breasts sometimes have surges, but overall are okay. Every once in a while it feels like someone took a big chomp down on them, just for a few seconds haha.

 

I'm waiting for a call for my 12 week ultrasound. Haven't heard anything back yet. Have a couple of blood req's to get done next Friday, at my 10 week mark! We are very excited, but very cautious.  We haven't really told anyone yet, other than my parents and one friend (and all of you ).

 

Sending positive wishes to all.

1118 - nice to hear from you! Your journey so far sounds very similar to mine! I think you are about 1.5-2 weeks ahead of me.
I had my first ultrasound yesterday. Babys heart beat was 156. From what you are describing, the spotting and seeing a bleed on the ultrasound, did they tell you it was a subcorionic hemorrhage? Thats what they said I have. Its very small and most likely will resolve itself but I may or may not experience some light spotting because of it.
So far my symptoms are mild nausea that usually lasts all day and everyday which started at about 6 weeks. No throwing up though. And of course tired.
Ill also be going for some blood work and another ultrasound in a few weeks!

[1118]

SD11 - that all sounds wonderful! Funny how similar our journeys are! They did not label it as a subcorionic hemorrhage, however I think that is what it must be. They just said they can see where the bleeding was coming from and can see that there is more there, so I may still get some (though nothing since 7 1/2 weeks).  When do you stop taking your estrogen and progesterone? I am set to stop at 11 weeks. I'm excited to stop, but nervous at the same time. I cannot remember if we take baby aspirin throughout the entire pregnancy, or stop that as well. 

[SD11]

1118- I stop the progesterone at 10 weeks. Im looking forward to it! Im not on baby aspirin or estrogen so I cant comment on those.

[1118]

That is awesome...almost there!
