    Sad to say baby is no longer. I rang my doctor this morning and she told me to go the the hospital as I am RH negative and therefore need to have a shot if I bleed while I am pregnant. I got there at 3 this afternoon and didn't get home until 11.00 at night because they were so busy. They did a blood test and confirmed that my HCG levels were almost 0. It was what I had feared from the beginning. It always seemed odd that all the pregnancy tests I did were so pale whereas with my other two pregnancies they got noticeably darker with every day.

    oh Sammy waiting in the Hosp must have been awful, glad you had the shot though. No words can say how sorry I am.

    SammyP So sorry this happened to you again. It's not fair.

    Poor WTH. Hope you're feeling better and the congestion clears up. I know that can be miserable. Oh, and my mum always made me stick my head over a pot of boiling water (no longer on heat) with a towel over my head. I'm not sure what that did, but it usually made me feel better. And then splashed cold water over the face to make your skin tingle.

    Hope everyone's well.. xoxo

    Hi lovely ladies,

    Emmy83: best of luck for your tests over the next couple of days

    Hi to all the other ladies on this thread. Sorry not much time for persies today.

    AFM: Well had my first ob appt yesterday, saw the heartbeat. Nearly started crying when it was first detected- silly I know. I was so nervous before my appt, that my ob decided to do the US before taking my BP. BP was still 140/60 when he did take it, he wasn't so concerned about it as the bottom measurement was fine, he said the top measurement is more likely to be elevated due to anxiety. I was certainly anxious. I had loads of cysts on my ovaries, more than when I had a pelvic US the month before we got our BFP. Ob suggested that it could be due to the changes in hormone levels, but we will have to monitor them. Does anyone else have PCOS with their pg? Apart from that he was happy enough not to see me again until 13 weeks, so I guess pretty good news.

    Love to all and I will do some persies later.

    Cheers

    Josh'smum - I have pcos but I havent been told I still have cysts whilst pregnant. Maybe I have but I wouldn't know. It wasn't silly to be nearly in tears when seeing the heartbeat. Its a very emotional time!

    Emmy - Welcome to the thread, I wish you all the best in this pregnancy! I would get another HCG test as soon as possible just to ease you mind, I was at my docs every 2-3 days for the first 3 weeks!

    Thanks ladies. I am feeling anxious due to my past two m/c but I am this will be a happy ending meaning Ill get my baby at the end of it.

    I saw the Dr who gave me the referal for repeat bloods. She told me not to have it till 72hours which is Thursday Lunch time. All I can say is thank God I can get the results that day asanother few days on top of Thursday to get the results would not help. Sorry for my anxiety. I hope it eases as soon as I see the numbers rising and if not
