The digital ones usually look for a higher HCG level, around the 50MIu, but the non digital ones usually look for a lower level, between 10MIu and 25MIu...that could be why...
My story is similar to yours, although I don't have endo. Just wanted you to know that I did not have a dand C with my first m/c but I did with my second and I fell pg straight after. I am 23wks now and all is ok. I think the D and C did my uterus wonders and I am hoping the same for you.
Anastacia. I lost 3 angels when I was younger. I believe stress has EVERYTHING to do with it. The three I lost were when the dad didn't want them and was pressuring me to abort. I was going thru uni and working and dealing with pgcy and now x-bf's being AHoles and demanding I get rid of the bubs! I only ever carried to 8wks for those 3. I had to hide what was happening from my family as they didn't agree with who I was dating and I didn't need extra stress. When I met DH and we decided to TTC, it took 5 months and I had started to panic that the 3 un assisted non diagnosed m/c's could have damaged my uterus ( stupid me never even told my dr at the time. Just went a week after and complained of heavy and painful periods and had an U/s which came back all clear each time. I was in denial of what had happened for soooo long..... I just couldn't deal with it or cope at that time). But I fell and I knew from the moment I fell it was different. Dh was so excited and happy and babied me for a lot of that pgcy. I carried Kat to term and Jess and now I think this one is going to be the same. Even if Dh is a little reluctant about me being pg again heheh. I know he loves me and would never make me abort and that he will love and support me and the bub so I feel safe. Maybe I am off topic, but I do truely believe stress is BAD during the first trimester! It's not good during any time of pgcy, but you need to have a good outlook and support and hopefully your body will be able to carry to term. Goodluck hon. Sounds like u r pg so.........FINGERS CROSSED for u!
Hi anastasia - one thing caught my attention in your story- blood clots. Have you been tested for anticardiolipin antibodies? i have this and it has something to do with your blood, a simple blood test will confirm. I need t take apirin to help thin my blood and prevent clotting. TTC now for the first time since finding out what i have to do. Dont want to alarm you- just thought i would share what i knew.
hey star bright, i have done blood test for everything, and all is good my specialist, as we speak. there is nothing wrong with my blood, genetic or chromosomes, test the tissue for curette and nothing wrong. going for a blood test 2m so wish me luck.
That means that you are pregnant, and they want you to go back to the doctors to have another test to see if your HCG levels go up...because 28 is still pretty low (due to how early on in the pregnancy you are, nothing to be worried about!)
Congratulations!!
hey thanx tannedangel, i just got my second blood test results and it's gone up higher, 117 hcg. and im 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant. but before i had a little bit of brown discharge, should i worry?
Nope, i dont think you should worry. Some women do bleed during pregnancy, as long as it stays brown it should be fine. When it starts getting red/bright red then id get worried, but brown is good
Hey come join me and one other in the Belly buddies group due april 15 - 30th...were hoping more people come in and join
another month of failure arrived today on day 23!!!!! normally 28 day cycle
so annoyed as i had the weekend from hell to start with and then this just before i go to work!!!
Congrats Anastasia. My news did not turn out well. On the day my AF was due I had a positive result of 20 but 4 days later it dropped to 11 and I miscarried the day after that result came back. I knew it was about to happen as on the morning of the second test my symptoms just disappeared. It's weird, I have taken it all much better this time around.
My gyno says he is sure it is because of a suspected fibroid so I now just have to wait until I get to the end of the waiting list for my lap and hopefully that will clear things up for me.
Feeb - so sorry your AF arrived - it is always terribly disappointing for me too.
