Everything sounds great to me! I understand your nervousness, I was a wreck the whole time I was pregnant with Ryder. But it is normal for your WBC count to fluctuate a bit during pregnancy, and I think it happens primarily during first trimester. As long as it's in normal range, your fine. When your body is fighting an infection (or if it was indeed attacking the embryo) I believe it would be a much higher count then that. And honestly, in my experience, OB's (I never had an RE) don't pull any punches. If things don't look good, they are pretty up front about it. Congrats hon, sounds like you got your sticky one!!!! (((((hugs))))
yay!!!!! Here's hoping for super-stickiness....good luck momma!
Well, peri called back. She thinks this is nothing to worry about at all....PHEW. She said that she considers 11.7 and 7.3 to both be within normal range and she doesn't feel that it's a drastic drop. So, now I'm just trying to relax and hope that this is a sticky one!
Oh Kristen...I really hope she calls you soon so you don't have to wait much longer! I'm hoping that everything is good and this baby is as sticky as it can get!!
Gosh, Michelle. I hope so. I am so freakin scared I can't stand it! I just hope that it doesn't mean that it already "died" and I'm waiting to miscarry.
UGhhhhhhhhhhh.....this is so scary.
Gosh, I hope my peri calls soon.
Thanks guys. You guys are awesome.
Hugs to both of you
I have read up on this and your WBC dropping is a good thing!!!!!!! I have you in my thoughts and prayers all the time, I know how much worrying you are going to be doing, but try and take it easy and relax! You don't need the extra stress!!!!! Keep on calling your peri until you get an answer!!! ((((HUGS))) to you... Michelle
No I would imagine that if the WBC are dropping that's good because I don't think they would ever "stop fighting" if they found something in your system that they thought needed to be expelled or fought off....but I'm not sure. I hope your peri calls you back soon!
I am hoping that is the case. But the other scenario scares me. Like basically, has the pregnancy already decided it's no good so my white blood cells aren't fighting anymore?
I don't know...I always assumed that with new pregnancies there was a point at which the body went "wait, what the heck is this?!" (the elevated WBC) and then I always assumed it either goes "get out get out get out" (WBC elevate further as miscarriage occurs) OR it goes "oh, okay" (WBC return to normal and the pregnancy continues normally).
I don't know, maybe I'm crazy, but that's always how I kind of pictured the implantation period. I'm tired today so I could just be delirious and making absolutely no sense....but maybe that's it, lol.
