Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss #1

[Mia01]

Ladies

Thank you for all your support

Today I got my results from yesterdays BT it was 1919 hcg! YAY atleast its heading in the right direction so all is good here.
The doctor told me to now try to relax and not think about it, easier said then done but I'm happy enough not to do any more BT's and wait till my 7wk scan. all goes well.

Minnie I barely have any symptoms either and I'm 1 day behind you. All I have are very sore bb's especially in the morning but besides that nothing much. Hopefully we'll get more happening as time goes by. Atleast we dont have the morning sickness!!! YET! Eeek! LOL
Try to relax as much as possible, stress with things around us doesnt help but just try your best xo

Mich8 yes those results (664 hcg) were from Monday which was 4wks 3 days! I'm glad they're good
How far along are you?

[Maruschke]

Yay Mia!!!

[Mich8]

Yay Mia! Great news, that's even better than doubling! I'm 4 wks 5 days (adjusting for my late ovulation) so one day behind you. You, Minnie and I are each a day apart
Thanks Loops - It's good to hear that it gets better and you can relax a little more now.

Spotting is maroon and brown rather than bright red today. So yay, but not really yay No more stabbing pain tho, just a sore back today...

**sneaks in sits down and waits**

Cautiously coming in here, some of you know me from my DD pregnancy, some from my recent loss of my son... Very very early on, sitting still until a few Weeks past then might start posting.... little excited but still not getting my hopes up just yet...

[Maruschke]

Quietly supporting you, HPL.

[Mia01]

Thanks Marushke and Mich8

WOW I didnt know you were a day apart aswell Mich8, we're all very close then!
all the maroon CM etc goes away for you

HPL - BIG and when you're ready to join us you're welcome anytime xo

Hi HPL! Fingers crossed for you!

We had a great scan today. Measuring a day behind, which, when adjusted for my cycle, is exactly the same as DD was at the same scan. HB of 130bpm. I am just so relieved.

[minniemouse]

Audax: you must be SO relieved ! have you been having hcg levels done ?


HPL: come in and put your feet up, i know about not wanting to post, i went through it too but decided to bite the bullet because i need the support

mich: boo to the spotting still, i have everything crossed it stops

loops: you are still my inspiration with your miracle bub

mia: things sound like they are going on great guns for you

Maruschke: how are you feeling with next week approaching ? did i see somewhere you already know the sex ?

afm: i had another blood test today, they were hoping for the level to be around 1800 and it was 2100 so all on track so far, i don't know if having the blood tests is making me feel any better though because i was worried all day waiting for the result. i'll probably have one more though just before the scan so i get a rough idea of what i will see at the scan

Awesome! Congrats . I wish you smooth sailing from here.

Minnie - they are great numbers, looks like everything is progressing well for you .

I changed the date of my scan... it's now on Friday @ 1. So FX for another week, then we might (haha!) relax a bit. I think it's a boy, that's what the NT said.

[Mich8]

Audax - what a great result, so happy for you!! I bet you're happy with your decision not to stress yourself out with bloods now. So a stress free, relaxed pregnancy from here then?... ha ha ha.
Minnie - more good news on this thread, yay! Hugs.
HPL - glad you sneaked in I'm sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel about posting but figured whatever the outcome, I'm going to need to share it. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you.
Maruschke - Only one week til scan, ooooh. And a "probable" boy, that's exciting. You'll know for sure after this scan won't you? Did you have to change the date for any reason? Thanks for thinking of me (and my spotting ha ha), you're very kind. You might have some powers (spooky!) because spotting is very little today

My news is: spotting is very little today but it has been replaced with cramps.
Happy St Pat's day to all for tomorrow - it's my favourite day of the year. My BT tomorrow is very important because the results will determine whether this is the first St Pat's in 12 years I don't have a drink!! Ok, I'm downplaying the test cos I'm pretty worried I'm just hoping for a clear result and nothing inconclusive!

[Hope.Positive.Love]

Thanks Ladies for the warm welcome... I might just post every now and then....

Maruschke: good luck for your scan.. I'm gonna say BOY, coz I want some boy vibes for us too lol... Hope you have an uneventful week leading up to the scan..

Audax: So nice to see another familiar face glad your scan went well

MM: I had my first of many Im sure blood test today, checking HCG as well as Prog... last pregnancy the progesterone levels werent very high so i have to use perrsies to help... My Ob has asked me to start taking a Low dose Asprin from now on and wait for the results on the prog... Glad your BT was a good level, I tend to have BT rather thanearly scans, I get too scared if I dont see a HB... I;ll go have a scan around the 8-9wk mark... :d best of luck

Mich: Fingers crossed its no drink St patty's day for you and that the results are good ...

Me, well I have spoken to the Ob and am taking asprin, see if that helps, then just waiting on my BT from this afternoon and hoping for some HIGH HCG levels, not to get my hopes up, but some good signs would be encouraging for us Like I said before I get a little scared and anxious with early scans, but my Ob said that as my last m/c was recent (Nov 11) i might need an early scan to make sure everything is on track... still unsure if i want the scan though. Now to just enjoy the weekend, we're buying a car tomorrow eeekk, and then wait for the results!! I'm sure they will be fine, just trying to not think about it and really with a very active toddler on my hands im sure it wont be too difficult to do!!

Thanks ladies for the support already, Ill do my best to post and support you as well!!

Hey chatterboxes!

minnie - nope, no hcg. I didn't get in to my Doc until 6 weeks, a week out from my scan, so we decided not to. I am quite relieved; I have had more than enough hCG tests for one lifetime already. I'd sort of forgotten about the falling prog last time, but it never got so bad I had to go to pessaries, so FX it's the same this time.

Mich8 - It was just so so so so amazing to be told straight away "Ok, there's a nice little heart beat right there" - within 30 seconds of the scan starting! I am trying so hard to have a nice, normal pregnancy, the kind that I am jealous of so many people around me for having. And it seems to be working. It feels so different to last time, there's a lot less fear. I don't know why; maybe I feel better equipped to cope with it? Maybe my brain chemistry is just a little bit healthier this time? Maybe it's time for a Tim Tam?

Hooray HPL on your March BFP! With DD my BFP was on March 18, I'd pulled a sickie from work, and thought I'd better cover my bases, not expecting that to be the result. Heaps of stickies for you!

[Mia01]

Audax - Great result HOw many weeks are you? I'm looking forward to my scan but its not till 02Apr, just hoping all is good in there!
Minnie - 2100 is great! Whens your first u/s scheduled for?
HPL - take it easy and I hope the aspirin helps xo
Maruschke - Will be thinking of you next friday, all goes well and you see if it is a little boy!
Mich78 hope your having a great day and your bt came out awesome

AFM - just chillaxing at home and then off to see Carl Barron so that should be funny. Not sure if I should do another BT next week or just before the u/s I have on the 2nd of April?? Maybe I'lll just leave it for now and just try to think, all is well all is well Happy St Pat's day all! xo

[luna moth]

Mia - with your awesome BTs, I'd just sit tight until the scan. It does seem far away, but it's only, what, 15 sleeps? (nanna naps excluded) Do-able. Totally do-able.

[Mich8]

Hi all!
HPL - ooh, I hope your levels were where you wanted. It sounds like you have a really great, proactive ob!
Audax - seeing that hearbeat must have been amazing, sigh You sound like you're doing so well with the calmness, you definitely deserve a tim tam - or three!
Mia - I hope you enjoy your night out. Maybe you could just leave the blood test if you're feeling fine but know you can always go in for it if anything is worrying you.


AFM - well no St Patrick's Day drinks for me! My HCG was 8656 today at 21 dpo (up from 306 at 14 dpo)!!!!! OMG However my progesterone has dropped to 55 (from 75) despite being on 3 pessaries per day. I'm quite worried as my previous pregs sat around 30 and were m/c's. The clinic said they don't worry until it's in the 30s and to come back in a week for another BT. I'm thinking of trying to get the FS on the phone on Monday. Is there anything I can do? Any advice?

[minniemouse]

Maruschke: are you counting down to the scan ? not long now

audax: i hope you are feeling relaxed after seeing your little ones heartbeat

HPL: how were your blood test results ? how exciting a new car, hope you enjoy it !

mich: im sorry i can't really give you any advice but i hope you can get onto your specialist tomorrow and get some answers

afm: no news really, i have been sick for a week now and have such a bad cough, just can't seem to shake it off, hopefully i will soon, im really tired but don't know if that is from the sickness or the pregnancy

[Hope.Positive.Love]
