Update on Unexpected BFP
Well as some of you know I got a VERY unexoected BFP last Tuesday. The doctor saw me that day and took my levels. I went back in on Thursday to have them rechecked (due to all of the bleeding I was more than prepared to hear taht the numbers had declined). They made an appointment for Friday morning to go over my numbers, see the doctor, and have an ultrasound. Well....you can imagine mine and my husbands surprise when the doctor walked in and said you're very much pregnant. My numbers had doubled, almost tripled! Unfortunately I was still bleeding VERY heavily so they did an ultrasound. I definately have a gestational sac formed but nothing showing in it...YET. The ultrasound tech and the doctor said that was common because odds are i'm VERY early in the pregnancy. They measured me to be 5wks and 2 days on Friday (putting conception about 3 weeks out) which would've been right before AF arrived. Crazy huh? The doctor has told me not to hold my breath on this pregnancy taking due to all of the bleeding. The ultrasound shows that I have a blod clot in behind the gestational sac which may/may not pass itself. I was thrilled Saturday when the heavy bleeding stopped. I had passed a few small 'clot like' things. Now I have VERY VERY LIGHT brown spotting. I just took a home test to see if it still came out positive or if I lost it after leaving the dr on Friday and much to my surprise it still went BFP super fast! I'm still "TRYING" not to get my hopes up. I go tomorrow at 2:00 to get levels checked again, have another ultrasound to see if anything has formed, and see the doctor. I'm praying that they'll see something in this one. If not its most definately going to be my 2nd loss in 2 months. If I do MC this one, the doctor is going to put me on the pill for 3 months along with an iron supplement to get it back where it belongs. He mentioned something about baby aspirin to help with the clotting. Right now I'm super nervous, a little excited, and a little stressed. I'm trying to take a different outlook this time. With my last MC I went through WEEKS of an emotional roller coaster and was so angry and stressed. This time I'm taking it day by day, lots of prayers, deep breaths, and trying to take it easy. I figure me stressing isn't going to help so i've put it into someones hands greater than me....It will turn out as intended. The dr is as puzzled by this pregnancy as I am. He, myself, and my hubby sat in the office for 20 minutes going over dates, and when AF came and how long i've been bleeding and well....lets just say there was no definate ovulation time found. Crazy to say the least. Please pray and keep your fingers crossed for me that I get GREAT NEWS tomorrow at my appointment. Thanks to all of you who have kept in touch over the weekend with questions on my situation. I appreciate all of you.
I`m sorry to hear about your miscarriage, I also recently had a second miscarriage in three months and it was very hard to deal with. I hope your body will have a nice rest and everything will go well next time. We are also planning to ttc in January if all is well. I was also planning on getting pregnant by the 30th of this month. Why I was giving myself such a tight timeline, I don`t know but the advice I got from lots of lovely people on this forum helped me to realise that I needed time to heal. All the best for next time.
I am sorry that things turned out like this! but as Bam said it sounds like you are trying to keep positive about it and I think that's the best thing to do!
I agree that 25% isn't that bad. I dont even know what % I would have.
remember that we are here for you if you need to talk!

I'm so sorry you didn't get the answer you wanted. But your post does sound pretty upbeat, so I take that as a good sign. Now, you can concentrate on getting your body and mind healthy, so when you get pg in Jan it will be all good. I don't think 25% is horrible either, so hang in there.
Many hugs are being sent your way. God bless.

Well.....we just got home from the doctor and it wasn't what we wanted in our hearts, but what we had anticipated. The ultrasound showed a perfectly healthy uterus. Healthy ovaries....no baby, no yolk, no sac...just empty. I must've lost it Friday evening or early Saturday w/out even knowing it. I'm doing ok though.
I'm going on a bc pill for 2 months and taking a rx iron supplement to get my level back up where it needs to be. I'm to continue taking my prenatal vitamins and folic acid as well. We'll be able to TTC in early January, so not to bad I suppose. I wanted to be pregnant by 30, but thats in a few weeks so no such luck.
He said I have a 25% chance of miscarrying again, but I don't think thats horrible. My hubby is doing ok with the results. He took it a little harder than I did, but I think its because a woman knows her body and can sense things. I think we'll be ok....

I hope you have to come home and change your user name:) good luck, and let us know what happens?
GOOD LUCK!! I'm saying a little prayer for you right now and my fingers and toes are crossed!
Ok ladies....Its time to start praying, crossing fingers, sending fairy dust, and doing magic chants.....i'm getting ready to leave for the doctor. If they've figured right I'm possible 1 day shy of being 6wks so HOPEFULLY they'll see something on the ultrasound today!!!! (I know, so much for not getting my hopes up about not losing this one....) I can't help it, I just have a feeling. Lets hope its right. Bleeding stopped COMPLETELY, (mild spotting since saturday-but NONE today). Took home test yesterday and was still very much positive, very quick. Now its off for bloodwork, ultrasound, & see the dr....Wish me luck!!!!!!!!
Any news yet? I will keep you and your baby in my thoughts and prayers...
I really hope you get the best news tomorrow. I will be thinking about you!
You will be in my prayers for sure!! I soo hope you get the good news you want tomorrow. It does sound very promising that your levels are rising. But I understand you wanting to be cautious about getting you hopes up.
I hope you are going to have to change your profile name soon because you aren't empty in side any more... literally!
I hope that your hCG keeps on increasing like mad and that you see something in your next U/S!
keep us informed. its so nice hearing stories like this!
