Goodbye FET baby (updated to Hello FET Baby!)

[~Trish~]

Thinking of you and praying for you Ruth .

[Liviam]

Can't wait to hear all about your scan in a few short sleep. You have never seen a sight as amazing as your baby's heartbeat. You are going to love it.
My FS remains entirely neutral until you are well past 12 weeks. I always had terrible thoughts when I left his office. Much different this time.

Ruth, sending you love and best wishes for your scan, thinking of you. xx

[Maruschke]

Hope you are doing OK today Ruth. Only two more sleeps .

[Bloom]

I'm trying to get my head around this. So we have:
4 hours of bleeding at 5 weeks (not enough to fill one pad but still significant) followed by 4 days of slow flow red going to red brown (needing a panty liner but not a pad). No further discharge or bleeding.
HCG at 5w1d 2195
HCG at 5w3d 2700
HCG at 5w5d 3900
Onset of some morning sickness at 6w3d and continuing.
Currently 6w6d.

What do you think? Our scan is on Friday to see if there is a heartbeat. I just wish I could have some percentages about likelihood of a viable pregnancy... any thoughts gratefully received by this nutter.

[Arimeh]

I dunno anything about that mate, but I have everything crossed for you!!!

[Inanna]

was there only one embie transferred my love?

[Bloom]

Yes, just 1 x 5 day blastie transfered with a medicated/hormonally suplemented FET. We considered it might be a vanishing twin, but not sure if there would have been time for the embie to split....

[Inanna]

That was my thought. As you know when numbers don't double we get nervous. But having said that - many a low number has turned into a chubby bubba. That is my hope for you... What time Friday for the u/s?

[Possums]

Ruth, I would say there is hope...but I don't know how much ...from what I have read and been told (during my own past experiences with slow rising HCG) when HCG levels rise more slowly than they should it is cause for concern and can be a sign things are not progressing as they should. However, there are cases of slow rising HCG pregnancies resulting in a healthy baby. I hope your little one pulls through. Thinking of you and good luck for the scan. I know you must be a nervous wreck with all this waiting

[Bloom]

Thanks for your thoughts Flowerchild and Possums. Thanks Mel for your kind words - brought a smile to my face.

Scan is booked for 8:45am. DH and I are so anxious now. As Oscaroscar has pointed out to me the rate of increase is increasing for my HCG, so I'm taking that to be a glimmer of hope. And I haven't started bleeding again, surely that's good... *wanders off to delusional land where all is good*

[Inanna]

Darling woman I know that feeling well. My thoughts and prayers are with you both...

[~breeze~]

So glad the bleeding hasn't started up again... that IS a good sign!!!

Good luck, I'll be thinking of you & your DH

[Maruschke]

I hope the MS is a good sign! Good luck for friday morning, I'll be thinking of you at that time and my guts out.

[mrsmac]

I don't blame you for being confused and stressed, you poor thing i think I would be insane by now! Every time I see your thread come up I hold my breath hoping its good news. Crossing everything for you on Friday.

[Cuddlepie]

Oh Ruth, only two more sleeps, I hope you keep sane. From what you said, I said there is hope especially there is no further bleeding and you still have m/s. Lots of love and prayers sending your way.

[Rommy'sMummy]

Ruth I think it sounds really hopeful. Doesnt sound like too much blood to me. I bled more than that with DS at 5-6 weeks and it was a twin as we saw an bit of an empty sac at 6 weeks. DS is now 4.5 years old and full of beans. I have no idea what his hCG levels were as we weren't testing. I am being tested for this pregnancy and its doing my head in!!

I will be continuing to pray for you, bubs and DH for a joyful scan on Friday.
