I just wanted to jump in and hope everyone is having a great day!!!! I am feeling really positive now and have decided to not let previous bad experiences effect my joy of this pregnancy... I am taking each day as it comes and the blessing that each day is with it..
Smallfryplus - My Dr has given me a referral for a dating scan but has asked me to wait until the second week of October to have the scan. I have been charting though and know my dates, do I just take the first day of heavy bleeding from mc as CD1 as that's what I have done. If that's right, I am 5W1D today.
Mrs Hendo - you have a great attitude I hope your BT went well today, I am going back again in the morning too. I used to be so SCARED of needles and in the past few months I have just gotten used to them. How far along are you?
TinaR - over 100,000 at the 8 week mark? Wooowweeeee, that's an amazing number! I can only aspire to that figure. Congrats!
Megsmum - thanks for writing that about your cramping in your successful pregnancies. I too have been experiencing some cramps and sharp pains. On Monday before I knew my BT results I got a stabbing pain and actually yelled from the shock of it. I felt for sure it meant a bad outcome but luckily, I am in this thread now
AFM - I have had a pretty quiet day at work. I can't believe how calm I am after getting the increasing HCG news yesterday. For a week I have been waking up and POAS and analysing everything about it, was it darker, how long did the line take etc etc. This morning I even forgot to take my temperature and didn't POAS at all!! Plus I have got this general happy feeling all over and I want to shout my news from the rooftops, whereas last time I wanted to keep it a secret until we got further along. Yep, I'm a strange one
I can totally relate. Even though I am at a high risk of another miscarriage I just can't keep it a secret. I have noticed amongst my friends, those who have never lost a pregnancy always wait 3 months yet those who have shout it from rooftops!!!
In my situation I have really craved support this time. I need to believe it will stick and that it will be a successful pregnancy. I have had to let work know as my job is quite stressful and I need time off for lots of dr's visits and blood tests.
I am currently 4 weeks and 2 days.... although I already feel about 10 months... lol or should i say treating myself like I am.. hahaha
Good luck at the dr's tomorrow I hope your hg levels have increased tooo!!! How far along are you?
Mrs Hendo - did you get your BT results? How did you get on? I had another BT this morning so hopefully should get the results in the next few hours. STILL bleeding unfortunately, just when I think it stops, it starts again. I am 5W2D I think??
starangel - I haven't had got my results yet. my doctor won't ever give results over the phone good or bad so i have to wait till my appointment tomorrow...longest 2 day wait ever... i still have really strong symptoms so I think the force is strong with this one.
Is your bleeding light? Let us know how the results go... everything here is crossed for you
Thanks for the well wishes, the Dr rang and my HCG is over 2,300! Can't believe that this time last week it was only 70. The bleeding I am experiencing is annoying really. It is light but I am calling it spotting because that makes me feel better. Basically I am wearing a liner and once a day I get some staining but other than that it is just brown sludge or red mucousy blood when I wipe. I did have some clots but that was last week and haven't seen anything like that since then. I keep thinking the bleeding has eased but then I go to the toilet and there it is again. It's persistant that's for sure. My last pregnancy didn't have any bleeding at all until I started to mc (the very very light brown spotting was my first sign) so it is still scary to me but with my numbers increasing, I am feeling more positive.
Starangel thats awesome news!! 2,300 is brilliant. I have gone home early from work. I was sick all day vomiting i just left and went to the doctor.. but I now have my results, so on the 28th by hcg was 46 then on 30th it was 186 so thats gotta be a good sign...
I just feel sooo rotten and want to sleep all the time. But sooo excited at the same time that i just feel this is gonna be it this time...
I can imagine the bleeding is worrying but as you have probably read on here it can be really normal. I have had a bit of slight cramping and that makes me worry but it hasn't gotten any worse.
