I have a ton of credits at restore. Has anyone used IV drips from there or any of the other iv drip companies? I’m feeling dehydrated and curious whether your doctors signed off on this and if so what type of supplements/vitamins you got in the drip.
first time pregnant, 33F, I had my first scan at 6 wks and US measured 5 weeks. Since there was no fetal pole then and had a yolk sac with 5.5 mm diameter and gestational sac noted about 10.2 mm, doctor asked to come back in 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, a fetal pole of 2.1 mm was noted with a gestational sac of about 32mm, but no heartbeat was detected. For 8 weeks pregnancy, CRL noted about 5 weeks 1 D, establishing it as a growth lag of 3 weeks. I am keeping all options open. But want to understand from fam here: 1) Should I wait for one more week and hope for a heartbeat? 2) Even if the heartbeat appears, is it safe to carry along, or is it a case of MMC for me, unfortunately, and accept it as I am crying my heart out right now. Appreciate your experiences and inputs.
Hi all! I found out I was pregnant 10dpo and it was a vvfl. I got beta done at 3 weeks, 5 days (13dpo) and my hcg was only at 31.59 it did progress to 92.01, 48 hours later (4 weeks, 15dpo) but with it being so low, makes me so scared of a bad outcome. Does anyone have any positive outcome stories to share? I need encouragement! I had a chemical in October of last year and my cycles have been long and weird, so I'm just really anxious.
I’m 13dpo. My HCG was 22 yesterday & progesterone was 5.7. I had a chemical pregnancy last summer & so scared this one will be the same. Has another had a similar experience? I’m hoping it’s just so early that the progesterone can help it 😞
Hi all
I know that beta levels are not everything . However I have had four losses with one being ectopic. I have had four beta draws they were
5/5 67
5/7 208
5/14 2446
5/20 5653
The only reason I had this last beta was because my midwife is trying to schedule me an early ultrasound due to my ectopic history, but the MFM does not do ultrasounds under 6000 HCG.
I am absolutely gutted at the last level especially with it being a 119 hour doubling time. I know that once it gets to 6k the double time increases to over 96, but I’m not even there yet
Trying to see if I can get in anywhere for an ultrasound - may have to go to ER at this point.
Did anyone have success with a slow rise like my last?? Should I prepare for worst ? what would you do in my situation?
I had all the symptoms at first. Heightened smell, hungry constantly, very very tired, my garmin watch HRV was every night. Body battery never got above a 40. Waking in middle of night.
About three days ago all disappeared. HRV is higher close to baseline. Body battery is 68+. Sleeping through the night. Not exhausted. I’m 34 weeks conceived via IUI. Our second round, but our first round was chemical. My Beta on 15 DPO was 103 17DPO it was 271 and 20DPO was 1070. I’m now a few days past that, but my symptoms disappeared that same day I had the labs drawn.
It just worries me the fact my watch is showing all of my levels basically back to base line and the symptoms pretty much match that. I go for an ultrasound on June 1st and that’s about a week and a half away. My pregnancy test isn’t at a dye stealer yet, but line is exactly the same as the control line color. Anyone else had this happen and the outcome was positive?
I’ve had two losses in a row and 42 years old. My “LMP” was a chemical on March 21. I ovulated April 6 and conception was April 7, which lines up with the positive pregnancy test on April 14. Should have been 8w1d yesterday based on this but the fetus only measured 4mm with no heart activity. It measured 3mm the week before, which is also concerning. The doctor however said she wasn’t sure if the flickering they had seen then was in fact a heart beat and that things could just be “early” but likely not. Moreover, the gestational sac only grew from 9.7mm on May 6 to 15mm yesterday, May 20. They want me to rescan in a week but I feel like the hope is gone.
Are there are any success stories out there where things have been “off” by two weeks and then caught up? I’ve read them from time to time but it almost always seems that the dates were wrong and someone conceived later than they thought
Hi all. I’m currently 6-7 weeks pregnant after multiple losses. I’ve recently been advised I have a small subchorionic hematoma.
I don’t really know what that is but they suspect that’s what was causing the bleeding/spotting. I’ve been on progesterone as it was low early on.
Yesterday I had intimacy and immediately started gushing blood. A week prior to this i had stopped spotting and bleeding all together and now it’s back and pink and bright. Just want to know if this is normal? I’m at work and not sure if I should leave to be going to doctors/hospital
Tomorrow is my first ultrasound, and I’m feeling every emotion possible. I’m 6 weeks today been trying for 2 years, and this was our 3rd IUI.
Before this pregnancy, we had two losses with our first two IUIs, an ectopic pregnancy before that, and before that a spontaneous pregnancy that made it to a heartbeat but was measuring behind. We miscarried about a week later. With the other IUI we haven’t made it this far.
I’ve been counting down to this appointment for the last two weeks, and somehow it has felt like two months. I’m so nervous, but also weirdly excited — like Christmas morning when you want to go to bed at 6:30 just so morning comes faster.
Trying to stay hopeful, while also realizing that after all these losses, there really is no protecting my heart. There’s just going through the grief if it comes, and trying to let myself feel joy and hope in the moments where I can.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow. 🤍
Update: they found identical twins!!!!
Hi to all, I would like some to ask if this happened to anyone, I am freaking out.
My wife is pregnant with our baby 32 weeks, and our baby is consider small, it weights only 1400 gr, and now we need to check her every week, we have some specialist to look the baby next week, but all was good until last three weeks, when we went to check her growth, before three weeks baby was around 10-15 percentile now is under 3, we did double test that came back as low risk, nt was 1.1 mm, and anatomy scan at 20 weeks showed that everything is good, I cant sleep I am torturing myself as I saw that this can be a sign of a down syndrome, I cant stop thinking about that, I dont eat and I cant sleep good.
Please if someone was in same situation I would like to hear you. Thanks in front.
My hcg went from 1004 to 1884 within 48 hours (2 pm), then to 2002 at 9 pm same day as second beta (hospital visit was the reason for the second same day draw due to previous ectopic and concerns for that)
A gestational sac was found inside of my uterus (so thankfully not an ectopic at least). But I am worried about only having an 87% increase within 48 hours. They said it could go either way at this point.
Does anyone have any similar success stories? Or similar but not so successful? I’ll keep this thread updated with what happens as well
I am 27 overweight ftm.... yesterday my TVS done
Fetal pole, Gsac, CRL all are present but no cardiac activity is seen.... ACC to CRL I am 6w5days pregnant....1 week behind my actual date... I am just loosing hope... This is soo emotional situation for me... What is the normal timing for heartbeat to came and
Anyone here who experiences the same...
Your successful or unsuccessful experiences kindly share❤️
Hiya All,
I am a ftm (third pregnancy though) and am 21+6.
So, like the title says, I'm wanting some advice or to know if anyone had anything similar.
At my scan at 13+3 my cervix was 51mm.
I then had a scan at 17+5 due to some nerve pain and my cervix was noted as 46mm.
Yesterday I finally had my anatomy scan and pretty much everything seemed fine with my sweet baby, however my cervix was noted as 36mm.
I called my midwife (in Australia) and she didn't seem concerned with the change but my official appointment for the results isn't until next week.
Should I be concerned with this change in the shortening of my cervix?
Thank you in advance!
I originally had an ultrasound at 4w4d and the tech said it was measuring at 5w1d. I then returned at 5w5d for another scan and the sac measured 5w3d. A two day growth in the span of 8 days is almost a guaranteed mc right? It was taken by two different techs with two different machines. Is it possible they were wrong or just slightly off with measurements? There were also two yolk sacs which they told me was a sign of genetic problems with the embryo. Am I delusional in thinking they may be wrong? I might just be clinging onto hope
I’m stressing and doing too much research, I know that’s not a great idea but i just need some advice or feedback on anyone’s experience who’s been through this.
I last had my period march 12, didn’t have any intimacy till march 21, then again on march 25/26, then again early April. My period was due April 9th, tested positive on April 15.
I did an HCG test on April 17 came back 503, did another one on April 21st came back 2261. My doctor was super happy with the results.
Had a dating ultrasound may 7 which supposedly marks me at 8 weeks based off last period date, they couldn’t find anything other than a gestational sac that measured at 6w4days (1.49 cm) and the US was transvaginal. I did another HCG test on may 7 and it came back at 23680. My doctor was happy about it and told me I’m earlier than they think most likely because conception took place late march that’s why they didn’t find a yolk and fetal pole. I re did my HCG a week later on may 14 and it came back at 24067. So I’m 1 full week it went up by a few hundreds (I’d say it plateaued).
I’m booked for another ultra sound on may 22
My question is, is it possible that since I had intimacy in late march that I’m only 5-6 weeks along and not 7-8? Or do you guys believe this might be a blighted ovum? Does the rise in HCG indicate this is a non viable pregnancy? Or should I hold out hope?
Hello everyone.
As the title states i recently found out I am pregnant. I conceived while taking 40mg everyday of Atorvastatin for my cholesterol and weekly ozempic to help with diabetes. Both medicines advise you stop taking them 2 to 3 months before even trying to get pregnant. This pregnancy was a total shock but it's definitely desired. This would be my 2nd baby. Im going through waves of emotions and dont know what to do or how to feel. Has anyone gone through anything similar and went full term with no issues?
TIA.
Hello everyone. I got a faint first response on 5/15 so got my HCG blood test. It was only 3 miu, so I figured it was still too early.
I got blood drawn again yesterday 5/19 and it was only 9.2 miu. Does this sound like a chemical pregnancy? My periods are irregular, and I thought I ovulated on 5/4 with a positive LH strip.
Any input would be appreciated or personal stories. This is the first time I’ve ever been through this.
Hi all I’m fairly certain I’m going through a chemical pregnancy at the moment. I just passed an abnormally large clot that is blood and beige grey flesh coloured which truely scared me. Has anyone had this experience before?
Hi all. Estimated 6 weeks 5 days. Hcg measured at 4388. Last pregnancy around this time my hcg was 15000 so this is concerning- should it be?
Hi. I’m so frustrated. I’ve had a handful of miscarriages that have led me to IVF to genetically test.
My numbers seem quite low. I’m really hoping for any feedback, success stories in the IVF world or even natural conception.
