Tiger's news

[Tiger63]

I got my results today and the doctor said my levels are consitent with a viable pregnancy. I am 4 weeks and 6 days and my HCG level yesterday and it was 5000. I will have another blood test on Tuesday to see if this pregnancy is going to progress.

I am trying hard to not to stress out. What have you ladies done to try to relax while waiting?

Yay!!  Just listen to your doctor... s/he says you are progressing normally and that's all you need to think about.  Easier said than done, I know but this is a new pregnancy, a fresh start.  I'll be thinking about you!

hey, I just left you a note.  I kind have been absent from this forum a bit becuase I found out I was much more worried than I ever thought i would be.  i am in a little different boat anyway since I din't actaully m/c, but the baby was unhealthy. I find myself worrying more when i read too much.  I am going to wait until the pregnancy progresses like someone normally would when they first find out they were preggo.  We are finding out if we are moving soon and that will help me find a dr. I really like.  I called my old dr. and they said to wait to go anyway since I have been on pre-natel and folic acid since April anyway!  good luck belly buddy!!

Congrats!! I currently do yoga which I find is a great de-stresser. There is yoga for during pregnancy and also meditation and visualization are great ways for you to focus positively about the pregnancy. Try and take it easy, your levels seem great, so enjoy!! :)

I'm so happy for you...I was starting to worry when we didn't hear from you for a few days! You and your little peanut will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Good luck Tiger you are in my thoughts. Your numbers are really high so as long as they rise you should be fine. Best wishes to you and Happy turkey day!!!1

I really think that those levels sound very good. I think you have a great opportunity to go out and do some xmas shopping with a girlfriend. This will get your mind off of things and be with someone in case you want to talk. I think you need to stay positive for yourself and most of all for the little baby trying to grow.My thoughts are with you and let us know how things turn out after the next test.

I agree with nunu, you just have to try to think positive.  There is nothing to say that this pg will end in a m/c.

I'm not a yoga kinda gal, but have you thought about trying it?

[nunu1977]

Try and think positive and not focus on the bad. remember that the added stress is not good right now. there is nothing to say that this will end in another M/C so dont even think about it. its amazing how you can change your thinking by making yourself think positive.
Try and make yourself busy so time doesn't feel as slow to have another test done.
I dont want this to sound bad but now that i found out that i have a tumor on my ovary and it needs to be taken out i am worried that i am preggers. the nurse said the dr wont take it out if i am preggers, but the pain now is starting to wear me down and i am not sure what the next 9 months would bring  if it doesnt get taken out. life just isnt fun sometimes.
let us know what the next test says... you are in my thoughts!

Hi ya i've been there and i'm sorry but i have no ideas on how not to stress out. I had a m/c on the 30th Oct and it was so hard waiting for all the blood test results before hand. I was an emotional wreck.
Good luck and i'll have my fingers crossed for you.
