Loss of Pregnancy Symptoms
Hi all.
I should be 6 weeks 4 days today according my my LMP - but I ovulated on CD 17 so I'm more like just 6 weeks.
On Tuesday (11/24) I went for an ultrasound and was measuring right on time at 6 weeks (a little bigger than ontime). They saw a 9mm sac and a yolk sac. Things looked great. I switched from progesterone pills to vaginal suppositories Tuesday night because the pills were causing dizziness. Same dosage, just administered differently.
So, my symptoms up until Wednesday were: very sore breasts, bad constipation, some nausea and being tired. I woke up Wednesday and my breasts weren't as sore, no nausea and throughout the past few days I've become less and less constipated. I started having cramps too. Prior to this I had some very light spotting - but nothing to be concerned with. I had it with my daughter and things were just fine. Today I had some egg white discharge.
Yesterday I went to the RE again since I lost all the symptoms. I got a horrible doctor who said the sac was not measuring the way it should be. It was only 11.5mm and there was no heartbeat. He also had a hard time finding it.
I guess my question is does this sound like a miscarriage or one that is about to start? I go back tomorrow to see my real doctor. Any helpful advice would be great.

She isn't even talking to me - oh well. She'll get over it. I'm sure she's told everyone I'm such an inconsiderate you know what. I talked to my sister in law and asked her about the cryptic text they received and she said she was mad because that is all the information my mother in law had. They called to get more news and all she could say (because she hadn't even spoken to me!) was that I was miscarrying! Ugh. My oldest brother in law moved away and this is why. No one can have a private conversation in this family. I have to say I am as bad as them about gossiping - but something like this, no way would I have sent a text message spreading news that was false and so personal! I wonder if I tell her if I farted at 2:46 this afternoon if she would spread that news?
I'm in a much better mood today. Trying to get used to these no symptoms. I was a little nauseous last night but nothing too bad. I'm achy at night around my hips and lower uterus. I know it's stretching. My legs hurt too, just like they did with my first. I'm not upset there aren't any symptoms! I can't wait until I get to about 8 weeks and can use my sister in laws state of the art doppler machine and hear the heartbeat whenever I need to!!

haha I KNEW it would be fine! I'm telling you - I'm almost 12 weeks and my symptoms just finally started coming back! They've been 100% on and %100 off all the time! Back and forth constantly. I wouldn't place too much emphasis on how many symptoms you're feeling as a gauge of how your pregnancy is going. I hope you learned your lesson now :o)
Sorry about the MIL - I'm sure you've heard me say a few choice words about mine. The most recent thing is that she called DH a couple days ago and said she's planning a big family vacation in NC in July (a month after our baby is due) and expects us to be there! DH said he didn't think we could make the 9+ hour drive or flight with a one month old, and we didn't feel comfortable exposing the baby to the entire extended family that young because you're supposed to hold off a few months til their immune systems build up. You'd think that would be enough to snap any non-completely self-centered person back to reality and make them feel like an idiot for even suggesting it! Well...not her! For FIFTEEN minutes she wouldn't drop it! He kept having to hold his ground that we weren't coming! WTF!!!??! Then he said "well I'm assuming you're gonna wanna come here when the baby is born" and she said (long pause first) "oh, um (pause) sure, well, (pause) I guess" in a manner as if it was the first time she'd even thought about it! This is her very first grandchild by the way! Anyway that's MY mil gripe! Hope you set yours straight!
Keep us posted! I really hope things continue to go smoothly!

OMG!!! God is great!!!! Tons of blessings to you and happy pregnancy!!!! You did it girl:)
Thank you all so very much. We are so blessed.
I sent my mil a text while I was in the waiting room (at this point thinking the baby was gone) telling her I didn't appreciate her spreading news when she hadn't even spoken to me...and that I would tell her when I was ready. I sent her a message saying we saw the heartbeat and she said "that's great news - maybe it was all the prayer that went out to both of you" ugh...

I'm so glad they found the heartbeat. I go in Wednesday for my first appointment since finding out I was pregnant and am SO nervous b/c I have hardly any symptoms...not sick, not constipated, not much of anything! Hopefully I'm just going to get lucky and have an easy pregnancy. I hope you do too.
And - P.S. - what is it with M-I-L's!?!?!?

OMG! Congratulations!!! That's wonderful news!

(P.S. I tried to reply to your note last week, but your account is set not to receive notes. Just thought I'd let you know).

I am in tears with relief for you right now! I know the stress you were feeling and it is just such wonderful news!! Now that on call dr needs to apologize for making you worry so much!! I'm sure your numbers wll be great!
OMG! We saw the heartbeat today. I broke down. My husband, the doctor and the nurse were all crying too. I was in total shock...we are so blessed. Measuring at 6 week 2 daysish. Makes sense since we ovulated on CD 17. Got progesterone tested and should know that and HCG later this afternoon and go back next Monday for a follow up ultrasound.
Thank you all so much for thoughts and prayers...you all mean so much to me!!

Hey sweetie, just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you and I've got all fingers crossed. Good luck today..
I think there is some sort of oath that they take at our weddings....that they promise to be evil and mean! No, I don't think she did it maliciously - but she never thinks when she does things. I don't want news that hasn't happened yet to be scattered amongst the family.
Well - I think it's really over. Went to bed with sore breasts last night (for the first time in several days) and this morning woke up with non-hurting non-full breasts. At least up until yesterday they were full! Ugh - I'm prepared, so I think. I'll let you know what happens later this afternoon.
Thanks for you support.

Hey girlie;) When I was pg last Dec. (Mc'd in Feb @ 11 weeks) I was being pretty closely monitored, mostly cuz I was 39. & had just had lap. surgery, & a mc all within 3 months. ANYWAY, I was anticipating a low number beta one day...WAITING for my Dr's office to call etc.......& since my US was "off" bt like 4 days, I was REALLY worried;-/ WELL, the NEXT night (my beta was PERFECT 33,000 @ 6 weeks 3 days) my MIL leaves me this message on my cell, saying she is SOO SOOO sorry about my MC, & bla bla bla.....I don;t even think I finished listening to it! I was so SOOOO MAD. I called her the next day & told her that I really had no idea of what she was talking about.........last I had not had a MC!!!! UGHHHHHH I was SOOOO PO'd @ my DH, he I guess had told his mon, & sisters (all very close) that things weren't looking so great. WHAT A DORK! He SAYS, it was cuz when I was waiting for "the call" I was crying on the phone, telling him that it's probably not going to be good etc......
I was a BAL darn emotional!
Anyway, that SAME MIL NEVER called me when I DID find out I had a missed MC........she FINALLY sent me a text AFTER my DnC like 3 days AFTER I found out the baby had died! She was out of town, w/her daughter who was pg at the time.....but STILL! I STILL have harsh feelings about this. She actually did this to me w/BOTH my MC's this past year;(
BUT, she is not evil, I do lover her, she's just soooo CONSUMED by her 4 grown daughters, ALL very demanding, my hubby's family reminds me A LOT of the show "brothers & sisters" A LOT! LOL except their dad is not dead;) & as far as I know, nobody is gay;)
Anyway, just wanted to let you know I TOTALLY understand, VERY VEY well........it is hurtful;(

OMG! I feel for you... Had a similar problem not with my mother in law, but my hubby's aunt. I asked him not to tell anybody that I was pregnant, but he was too excited and told her. When I misscaried, turned out everybody including my husband's cousin's in-laws knew... Now I am preparing myself for the subject of our infertility to come up during Christmas dinner... Ahhhhhh!!
...and this is why we do not associate with my mother in law...she is evil! Sounds like yours is a tad evil too. You may want to steer clear of her for a while. Trust me, it helps :) Hugs!! I am prayng extra hard for you!!

I will be SO FURIOUS!!!!!! hang in there. the doctors told me Friday that I will miscarriage and i haven't start bleeding yet!!! I rather get it over with!!!!
I have seen almost all the other physicians in the office and they all stink. My doctor is caring and kind and his staff make everything better. For being in the same office I'm shocked that there is such a difference in the way they act.
Oh - something else that pis sed me off. My freaking mother in law. I spoke to my sister in law and let her know what was going on. We have the same doctor and she went through a miscarriage at 20 weeks last year and we've been close since then. She shared it with her mother who decided to send a text message to all of my husbands brothers and sisters. (there are 9 including spouses). So we started getting texts saying "sorry about the miscarriage, and let me know if there is anything i can do..." WTF? I haven't even talked to her and she is telling everyone I've miscarried? What kind of person does that? I am furious...and saddened by her lack of privacy in this matter. UGH
