Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi girls, What a crazy nervous morning. My husband started calling the doctors office early this morning and he said one of the nurses told him she just took the results off the fax and brought them into the doctor's office but it was super busy. When my husband told me this I felt that it was bad news because if it was good I thought she would tell him the number. When I mentioned this to him he called back and she said she did not look at the result and does not even know how to read it and the doctor should call in half an hour. Well time kept pa__sing and it was over two hours and nothing. Then I started to think if it was really bad they would have called me because I could have a tubal and they would have to do something. So then I started telling myself no news is good news. Well the nurse just called and said the Dr. wants me to have a sono but no rush it can be in a week or two, I asked her what my levels were and she said they went up to 2624 or 2625, one or the other but that was really good as they more than trippled. They say you cannot see anything on a sono until your hcg is at least 2000 so my husband and I want to go today so he is calling and trying to set something up. I thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts, I thank God that the levels went up this much and the nurse said though the longer we wait the more we will see and that maybe we won't see the hb today and that is fine but it may make me nervous. I don't know I kind of just want to see any thing in my uterus but I will see if my husband is able to schedual the sono. I am relieved, one step at a time. I hope you all are well and I will update you but Ethan is a wild man now. TTYL

They sound good to me. At 5 weeks mine were only 187 and now I am 13 weeks and doing fine. Good luck xox

Sounds like congratulations are in order - and prayers with all those kids running around! ha ha

Thanks I am still nervous because some of my symptoms have gone but I was never really sick with any of my pregnancies and felt the same with Ethan. I don't know if it is because of the shock but I don't feel pregnant and I don't know if it is because we weren't trying and every other pregnancy we were trying but I am scared because I don't feel pregnant and I think something may be wrong because of that. I mean I am so worried about my scan next Friday, I want so much to see the baby in my uterus with a strong heartbeat.

Any news?

Hi girls, well, the news is not good. I went for my u/s today my lmp was June 21st but since my baby was only 3 months old my ovulation was probably off so we were not sure of how pregnant I was. My hcg levels were trippling but today the u/s showed only an irregular shapped gestational sac and an irregular shaped yolk sac, there was no fetal pole or hb. They are running an hcg which I will have the results of in an hour. I am very upset this is my fifth pregnancy and I have never had a mc. I am scared, the dr. said we can just wait and see what happens and repeat the u/s in one week. She is not optimistic at all due to the irregular shape of the gest sac. She said it is like folded in on itself. I have some cramping now but no bleeding. The weird thing is I have really bad m/s and I thought that was a good sign.

Now they called and said my hcg is 18,551 which is really good and she just told me that the u/s was measuring me at 6 weeks. She said she is schedualing me for a sono next week. I don't know what to think now. I am so conflicted.

Wow! Sorry to just now get back to you. I had an odd shaped gest sac with my first preg due to a bleed (hematoma?)....they said many self absorb and don't cause problems...I had other problems and lost the baby. My sac looked like a black silhouette of a bat - wings on both sides. The u/s tech told me sacs are like noses and no two look the same....I hope that is the case for you!

Hi Everyone, Well the news is mostly the same, my hcg is still rising and at the sono she thought for one minute she saw a hb and kept telling me to hold my breath, so then she said it wasn't but she did see a fetal pole that I am not sure if she saw last time because the doctor said there was no fetal pole last time. Anyway my doctor was there and she had him come in to the sono and he looked and said he is not sure but not to get my hopes up and that he wants to repeat it Wednesday and we will go from there. He also told me if it does not work out it is no one's fault and that Ethan is a gift from God and that he is a blessing and that not too worry if it does not work out but to wait three cycles and he guarantees I will get pregnant again. So anyway that is where we are with that. There is a girl on PI first trimester and when she went for an u/s like me they told her she was officially losing the baby as there was no hb and they told her to come back in a few days but that it was over and when she went back they heard a hb and now everything is fine. I know anything can happen but I am just not expecting the best outcome with this. I cannot explain it by I feel numb and then I feel bad that I feel like that. I think the pregnancy has never set in and now this. I mean my legs were shaking with the u/s so I know it was emotional but I just don't know. I just wish things would be alright but if they can't I hope things happen naturally and I don't need a D & C. Only time will tell. Thanks for the prayers.
