So worried and upset

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. :crying:

awww hun! huge hugs!!! dont expect the worse hun, have some hope. I have everything crossed for you xoxoxo

thanks...I :pray: our little one is strong and hangs on

Hang in there Possums, I am sending you such a great big hug to get you through. :hug:

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! :)

Possums my friend..

You know I am thinking of you and you know I am always here for you.

Stay strong, I know it is so terribly hard at times like these.

Let me know if you need to chat.

Big hugs Bel

Possums
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. :grouphug:

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. :dunno:

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. :crossfingers: :pray:

Thanks again for the kind words.

Sending you all my hope and prayer

I hope this nest week will be speedy for you and with positive news xx

Possums I think it was haywire week and bubs will be strong and make it. You are in my thoughts

hey there have you had much morning sickness? i have heard that morning sickness is a sign that the baby is embedding itself.. and is a good sign of a strong pregnancy...

all the best hope u receive good news! its good news your levels have risen slightly so far :)

Thanks ladies.
Not much MS so far....tiredness and sore BBs

TG- I am pegging my hopes on it being a haywire week....have had a good talk to our little one and said it's time to get back on track now!

Possums- oh geez! I hope all comes back perfect for you and theres nothing to worry about.
I dont know much about this stuff, but couldn't they do a scan now just so you could see your babys heartbeat and be put at ease at least a little?

Hang tight little one! :crossfingers:

Possums - I am so sorry that you have this scare and have to do the waiting thing again. I'm thinking positive since you saw the heartbeat. I hope that when I next have a chance to check this forum that you have some good news!

Thanks everyone...thinking positive and hanging in there...it's hard though.

Oh possums, I am so sorry to hear that you are having a bit of worrying time ATM. Waiting is the hardest! :comfort:

Hope you will be more relaxed after your AP session today and look forward to the good news next week, take care hun!

Possums :hug:

I am glad you are thinking positive and hanging in there. So many things can go right here hun. TL is the best recent example.

Use your AP time to relax and connect with bubs the best you can.

Thinking of you.
xx

Thanks Cuddlepie and Dusty... I am madly checking my BBs to see if they are as sore now! looking for symptoms and signs...second guessing things....aaarrggghhhh

Tak it easy Possums for the next week or so and all the best at your next scan .... I'll pop back in then to see how things go for you.

I didnt really get any symptoms (sore BBs etc) until about 8-10 weeks pregnant so you might be like me.

Good luck !!!

Hi Possums,

I just wanted to say my heart goes out to you, and that Im sure you will get your positive news soon. I dont know much about this stuff and cant offer any advice, I just wanted to say Im thinking of you... Hopefully the acup will help you relax and help to stop the worry, which I can understand is the only thing you can do right now...

Sending all my positive vibes out you

Thanks for your kind thoughts.

Hi- I just want to let you all know that I had a bit of scare this morning, as I had some brown spotting. I freaked out obviously and rang my IVF nurse, who was wonderful and managed to call in a sonographer for me (their ultrasound rooms are usually closed today).... and on the scan we saw a beautiful heartbeat!!!! Now up from 106BPM to 146BPM and things measured 7 wks 2 days (we are 7wks 5 days by IVF dates) so all looked good!!!!!:leap:
I can't begin to describe the relief and joy I felt to see our baby still alive and doing well.
They said they could see some blood on the scan and it looked like old implantation blood, just coming away now.
I have been praying for our little one and sending all the energy I can and I love our baby so much already. DH and I are so relieved today and hope now things just go smoothly!

sweetie just what happened to me hun :hug: so happy for you godd little bubba

Excellent news Possums!!
