Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss #4

[me4ever]

Hi girls, I would like to join this group! Have got my BFP this afternoon, after a FET. Am freaking out a bit as apparently progesterone levels are on the low side, but HCG is highest ever on my first blood test, 150, so hopefully all will be fine. Need to start progesterone pessaries again, 1 a day. I'm due around 26 October, which makes me 4 weeks, 4 days today.

Congrats me4ever. I know how tough the 1st trimester is for someone who has had a m/c. Take it easy and try not to stress. Your count is good. Do you have another bt? Good luck and welcome to this thread xxx

[me4ever]

Thanks Vic! I can't believe you're already over half way! So exciting! How are you feeling? I'm having another blood test next Wednesday. xxx

me4ever i just wanted to pop over and day congratulations and send you
i hope i can join this thread in a few months too x

[Melster]

Congratulations me4ever

Hey everyone else

I have my drs app this morning to confirm pregnancy and get referral. He doesn't normally do blood test last time I don't even think he gave me a pregnancy test

I am only early. 3 weeks something and when I did the test it came up two lines before it even finished ... Did another one and the same thing. Plus I have bloated belly (happened all the other time) heart burn already and I even feel sick. I know ppl experience things differently. Do you think it's a good sign then and maybe I have high hormone level?

[Khaleesi]

Sounds like a very positive sign Mel, who know maybe you ovulated/implanted early this time

[me4ever]

Thanks kbudgie! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that you'll be with us soon! xxx

Mel - sounds all good! I had heartburn at 3 weeks exactly, 2 days after embryo transfer. Then again last week at 4 weeks 1 day. I never had heartburn before, not even last pregnancy and that finished prematurely, so am certain this is a very positive sign!! Have you got it non stop? I read somewhere it could be due to the progesterone level going up.

Me4ever - I am feeling good. I have my 20 week scan tomorrow and it will be a relief to see Boo again. Its been 6 weeks since our last scan and I have heard the hb at 17 weeks. I am so happy that your pg again. I remember reading your loss a month before mine. Dont worry, time will fly. The first trimester is the longest I think. Although you do have a dating scan at 7 weeks to look forward to

I think I hung out in this thread until I was 9 weeks. I was too scared to jump right into another BB group.

CONGRATULATIONS me4ever- sticky vibes for you xx

[Melster]

I was thinking that Cheshire

Me4eva i suffer from severe heart burn during me pregnancies were i vomit in my sleep.... It's terrible and so painful... I have had it a few time so far

I had my drs appointment and nearly had a heart attack when nothing came up on the test.... But it just took its time he has given me a form for a dating scan for around six weeks... Will you see heart beat and fetel pole by then?

[damprye]

Melster, if dates are correct (which is most likely with your early BFP) then you will most likely see a HB. Mine have all had a HB in week 5 but slow as so early. ds2 was 119BPM at 5w4d I think it was. Good luck

[Khaleesi]

You should see one but not everyone does. Some take a little longer to start

me4ever - congratulations! hope those pessaries kick in and you get a more reassuring progesterone level for you next BT.

melster - congratulations also! i have read that more symptoms mean higher hormone level, but i had a high hormone level for my BT's and had no symptoms whatsoever - so i think you are right, its different for everyone. sounds like you are a person that gets symptoms straight away, which i would find very reassuring. at my dating scan (around 6 weeks & 4 days) i saw a fetal pole and heart rate was 119. i was worried it was a bit low, but assured it was fine. i was told they only worry if it is lower than 90bpm at that stage. at 9 weeks heart rate was in the 150's, then at 12 weeks it was 172. all the best.

I havent posted in here before, but I wanted to thank you for posting this info! I had my dating scan on Wed and was dated at 6w4d with a heartrate of 119/120 and was stressing because it seemed a little low. Feeling SO much better now though.

[Andie78]

glad its given you some reassurance, im sure you (like i did) googled and expected a heart rate of around 140...! all the best.

[Calluna]

I just remembered when pregnant with DS that they told me that anything above 120 was good.

[Melster]

Thanks everyone

I'm just so nervous about those scans... Hopefully everything will be ok....

[me4ever]

How are you girls going? Have any more positive symptoms arrived?

Had a bit of an off day yesterday. Besides feeling very tired and being a bit emotional, I don't have any other symptoms and am so worried that the embryo has stopped developing... I hate this not being able to check somehow every day to know that it's still going. Even though I only have to wait till Wednesday for another blood test it seems like forever. I'm working a couple of hours today, so at least I won't have the time to worry about this pregnancy and will be distracted. My DH is very optimistic this time, I want to be optimistic, but am afraid I'll just be more devastated if something went wrong. Okay whinge over, now onto work. xx
