“There will be so many new babies this year!” Right after learning I’m having a 3rd pregnancy loss

Had an ultrasound this morning that confirmed it’s not viable. Went to school (I’m a teacher) and people were announcing/talking about their pregnancies and principal said “there will be so many new babies this year!”. That was supposed to be me too. Salt to the wound.

Realizing I can’t expect my mom to really support me

Any time I update her or try to vent about my anxieties she will either give unwarranted shallow advice (ex - “just stay positive” “just don’t think about it” “just try to xyz”) or barely react to/not react to it (just “oh” or “yep”) and then will immediately change the subject. She just doesn’t know how to listen and I get some people don’t know how to react, but my first miscarriage she told me about how she had one and how after she told her friend about it her friend told her she was pregnant, so you would think she would get it more

Yesterday I was telling her about how I’m getting another ultrasound (monitoring blighted ovum or ectopic) and she did that then STARTED GIVING ME DETAILS OF THE BIRTH OF HER COUSINS GRANDSON… I cut her off and said “sorry Mom but this isn’t something I want to hear about right now” and she was like ok ok ok… but like seriously?????? How the hell did she think I would want to hear about that, especially immediately after talking about my situation? I think I need to expect less from her. Luckily my husband is amazing and his mom is more supportive to us.

Wild ride, confused and cautious

Ok this is crazy

Positive test on July 1st, bled heavily from July 15-19. On July 21, hcg was 84 and ultrasound showed my uterus was empty.

August 3rd, HCG was 1169. OMG. Is it ectopic??

Today August 6, ultrasound showed gestational sac in the uterus measuring 5w2d. I said out loud HOLY FUCKING SHIT

We had intercourse twice the week of July 19 thinking it was impossible to get pregnant so soon…

August 6 HCG is 1565 and progesterone 9.48. It didn’t double over 72 hours (34% increase) and my progesterone seems low, so we are scared again. Waiting to hear from the OB tomorrow.

Is this likely doomed because of the numbers?
