I understand why you're upset honey. I just want to add a little more information. If you did lose a twin which it would seem is almost certain... Then this will fiddle with your hcg results. So, there would still have been residual HCG from the other embryo. This could look like less of a rise than really did occur for the baby that is there.
After a heartbeat is seen on u/s the best indicator of wellbeing is the sight of a consistent and adequate heart beat & of course growth. You have this so that is an incredibly positive sign.
So - whilst that rise could seem deflating I have personally seen this occur from a twin pregnancy where one has flown away. I hope & pray that your baby stays...
Thankyou so much Inanna, it would line up as the rupture of the second sac was Wednesday night before the scan, and with all the preceeding bleeding, we can hope that is most certainly the case just wish this wasn't such a rollercoaster, I look forward to just enjoying this pregnancy, not looking at numbers waiting for results and scans...
Beema, I haven't been on much lately and I am sorry to hear that you have been going through this. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. I hope that the weekend flies by and your mind is eased with wonderful results on Monday .
I too can see a time when you're posting about feeling over it and big at 41+ weeks! I woulda said to that Dr, 'Whatchoo talkin' about? This is a take-home bubba!'
All the best and I all is well for you and you can keep relaxed and positive - the best things you can do for 'flicker'.
Oh, hun what a difficult time this is - so many emotions and so much to deal with as you try to have some reassurance and understanding of what's happening. I'll continue to pray that your baby holds on tight, and that your OB can give you lots of reassurance and the wait until Monday isn't too bad.
The heartbeat is everything, and with the increase, it sounds so very positive and strong little baby hanging in there!
Come on, little flicker, you're strong enough to be a take home bub, we know it!
