Due end of June....

Hello all!  I am hoping to join this group, but we are still watching my hcg closely.  It was low to start with (10) but has been doubling and reached 468 on monday.  I get results tomorrow, let's all pray for 1000!  I've had bleeding as well, which started Sunday night but has turned red on monday and continued ever since.  If the numbers double then I don't think it's due to miscarriage ... maybe subchorionic hemorrhage.  I know, I'm grasping at straws now.  The doc originally wanted to wait until 5000 hcg to do an ultrasound, but maybe he'll do one earlier if it doubles because of the bleeding.

Keep your fingers crossed!!!

I am a member of the miscarriages forum, and the ladies in there are awesome.  Come by and join us if you need some support.  I'm pregnant now, but after just having a mc this summer I definitely need the extra support.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Thanks tink ... I will probably be around for awhile, as long as it isn't too disturbing for you guys.  I don't know that I can see you guys to your due dates though, that would be too upsetting.  I am a part of the maternal & child forum though ... it fits more in line with what I'm going through.  We will wait at least a few months before we try again.  The doc will need to make sure the hcg goes down and then the following month I'll need a progesterone test to make sure it was the "bad pregnancy" that caused the low progesterone and not another problem.  I do have a thyroid condition, but levels have been ok up till now.  I've heard if you get pregnant before your due date it makes it a little easier.  But we'll have to make those decisions a little further in the future.

Thanks for your support!  It is hard, although I think the 3 weeks of wondering and worrying makes it somewhat easier.  At least it's finally over!

back from the u/s ... not good news.  There is no sac ... only a little line of tissue.  I actually passed something that looked suspicious yesterday and when I described it to him he said it was probably the sac.  So I guess it's now a miscarriage for sure.  He gave me two pills to take orally (Cytotec I think).  He said because there is little tissue remaining and thin lining it shouldn't be bad.

So there you have it...  Thanks for all of your support!

So ... dh had to run to his mom and dad's last night (4 hour drive) because she was admitted to the hospital.  She has been fighting cancer for the last 6 years and apparently things are NOT GOOD!  Can we add any more stress???

Well, I called my doc this am because I was concerned I was going to get "the call" and am supposed to be getting more blood drawn on thursday and u/s on Friday.  Can I leave town with a threatened miscarriage???

He said come in Thurs morning at 8:45, we won't do the blood work and we'll just do the ultrasound!  Yeah, I'm getting my ultrasound early.  Hopefully we'll have answers and I'll know how to treat the weekend and join dh and his mom if possible.

I'll let you all know what happens.

Got more numbers today ... I was a little wrong about the last.  It was actually 1212.  Today it was 1515.  So it went up about 300.  Doc wants to do one more hcg test thursday and then should have ultrasound on Friday.  The kicker is the bleeding is worse.  It's a little heavier, but more clots as well.  It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Anyway ... wanted to update and see what you all thought.

Hi Pips!  I've been praying for you girl - even though I haven't posted before now.  I 'm very glad to hear that your numbers are up, and agree with JoyRenee (because it happened with my mom).  Keep your head up and your faith strong!  We are all thinking of you and praying for you!

Hi, Pips. I want you to know that some women have slow-rising HCG and everything turns out normal and healthy! I do hope the bleeding stops for you. Some women do get pregnant with twins and miscarry one twin. That might be your case. Or your uterine lining was so thick that your body has to shed some of it to make room for your growing baby! All very normal.

Hope everything turns out great for you and that you get an ultrasound soon to see a beautiful beating heart.

so, over the weekend I had a slight increase in the bleeding, mild cramping and am now seeing clots.  I'm thinking ... it's over!  I got myself ready to hear a similar if not lower hcg number today (thursday was 739).

So here I sit ... four days after the hcg of 739.  My new number.... *drum roll* is 1246!  What the hell!

Ok ... so I'm getting stat blood work tomorrow to see what's going on and then probably an ultrasound Friday if numbers continue to rize.

I'm going crazy here!

thanks mapes and tink ...  I get blood drawn tomorrow and can't wait for the results.  I did find out it is an extra $39.99 to get the results stat and offered to pay it if insurance wouldn't so I can get the results by monday afternoon rather then waiting until Tuesday.  That will make it a little easier.

Keeping my chin up for the time being....

I agree.  I would definitely wait and see what happens.  I had a similar situation in my first pregnancy with spotting, and I have a healthy boy.  The same thing happened in my last pregnancy, and I had a miscarriage.  Either way, God is in control so try not to worry (yeah right).  I will keep you in my prayers.  Keep us posted.

Here's the update:

hcg was 739.  Last test 3 days prior was 468.  Obviously did not go up enough.  Doc is giving me the option of stopping progesterone and letting nature take it's course, or staying on for one more stick on Monday.  I am opting for staying on the prometrium and testing Monday.

Any thoughts?

Keep fingers crossed!!!  Pray for a miracle!!!

Girly Im sorry to hear that you was or is bleeding but dont you worry everything could be just fine .. You but your baby in Gods hand he will take care of everything.. Dont give up on hope and trust the Lord.. I will keep praying for all of the girls in this forum.. and your numbers will double better yet triple . God works in misterious ways and anything is possible ..
Girly I do know how you feel cuz Im somewhat going through the same .. I am 6 weeks and 4 weeks since fertilization.. and girl I started spoting brown for about a week it has been two days that it stop and Im thankful to God and happy.. girl ever since I told the doc they have been monitoring me checking my levels and they recently did a ultrasound .. But they saw nothing they said not to worry if they couldnt see anything cuz it could be to soon and of course everyone baby developes differently .. So i got scared of course cuz here i am spotting and not knowing if I had a m/c or if its going to happen.. and all the u/t detect was two empty sac thats all.. So the last level that I had was 8200 and now Im schedule on monday to recheck. and then to do a u/t depending if its goes up.. so girly all we can do in any situation is wait and trust god ..
and dont worry some girls bleed through the start of the pregnancy and it's nothing ..

pl keep all of us posted smile:)
