Loss of Pregnancy Symptoms

[texasangel343]

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.

Ditto to everything Jen and Amy said!!

Don't give up hope yet!  I'm still praying for you and your sticky bean.  And stupid doctors with no bedside manner SHOULD be slapped!

Thanks ladies - makes me feel a little better.  We are trying to make it through the day...9 am seems so far away.

I agree completely!  They may not see a heartbeat during the 6th week, and I wouldn't worry about some doctor who has not seen you all along.  As for the symptoms, mine came and went.  I mean really came and went.  I'd go a week and feel absolutely nothing, then I'd feel a little sick again.  Sore breasts are caused by the progesterone, so if you switched methods that could be why they feel different.  Also, taking them orally is supposed to cause nausea, so that could explain the loss of that symptom.  Even if you hadn't switched methods of taking progesterone, I'd say it's perfectly normal to not feel symptoms anymore.  Just hang in there.  I'm sure everything is fine!

You know how this stuff goes. We never know what is happening one day to the next. I think that since that other doc was the on call doc, we can discount his opinion right now :) He hasn't been there and he doesn't know your history etc except what is written down. I know it is easer said than done, but try to relax untl you see the other doc. At 6 weeks you probably wouldn't have a heartbeat yet anyway. Most people don't see it until 7 weeks or so. I don't know about the symptoms. With my first m/c I had no symptoms at all - the whole time. With this chemical pregnancy this past month, I had a lot of symptoms with really low numbers. It is a crappppshoot - I personally think everything is just fine and that other doc should be slapped for panicking you. Tell your RE everything tomorrow: loss of symptoms, the jerk doctor, your ACTUAL O day, not LMP - everything. They see alot of people, they can't memorize everything so we have to be advocates for OURSELVES! If it doesn't "look good" tomorrow - have them do a beta and see what it says (ask for a Progesterone reading anyway since you switched meds - it won't be as accurate since the suppositories are going directly to the cervix/uterus, but if it is low maybe they can give you oral and suppositories - I know you don't like the oral ones but doubling up may help). Bottom line, stay as calm as possible, go to the RE tomorrow and tell him everything. Hang in there and we are praying for you sweetie. HUGS and SSBD!
