So worried and upset

[Possums]

Hi everyone...I just found out my HCG levels have not risen much in the last week. My IVF nurse is very worried and concerned and is preparing me for the fact I might miscarry soon. I am shattered. I can't bear the thought of losing our little one. I see my OB this afternoon and will probably have another scan. We just saw the heartbeat on Friday and felt so elated. Now this. My nurse said sometimes "hiccups" can occur, but she advised me of her concnern and worry.
It's going to be an awful time waiting until we know what's happening. I just feel so helpless and so sad and worried.

Hey there possums! congradulations... and i kno its hard but unfortunetly the more you stress the worse it is for your body.. plus there is a chance that your hormone levels could rise right?

maybe look into what u can do to assist your hormones to rise.. i think i read that someone had posted last week that eating helps because it gives u nutrients and energy.. try relaxation methods...

good luck and keep us posted!

Sorry you have had this horrid scare i will be pacing round the computer till i hear your news and i hope it is the best. HCG can level out or do weird things after about6 weeks, so hopefully that is all that is happening. Sending you loads of positive belly rubs and cyber hugs.

Hi everyone...you are all just the best and so lovely and supportive and have helped make my journey easier so far.

It makes me feel better to hear some of you say HCG levels can do weird things after 6 weeks...I hope that is the case.

Sadly, I am not going to know either way what's going on with our baby for at least a week!!! My OB said the fact my HCG levels have levelled out (they rose marginally in a week) is not good news, but nevertheless, they haven't gone down, and 4 days ago we had a heartbeat. So he said we have to sit tight and see what happens and told me to have another scan on Friday week...which seems an eternity away!! A whole week and a half of horrible waiting, not knowing.

He said ifI develop cramping or spotting etc to call and we'll have the scan sooner. He said best to wait otherwise so we can see more when I am about 8 weeks. He said, maybe I have just had a bit of hitch this week and things could get back on track, or this could signal a sign that things are no longer progressing as they should be. It's just so hard wondering and not knowing, and I know so many of you can relate.

In the meantime I have to try and be positive for our baby's sake. I have acupuncture tomorrow, hopefully that will help. I am eating as healthily as I can and trying to do all the right things.

Thanks again for the kind words.
