Had an appointment this morning. They took lots of blood and I didn't pass out! It was actually the easiest needle experience of my life. I was amazed.
Talked to the doc about feeling faint and she said it sounds like low blood sugar. She said to keep granola bars in my purse and eat every 2 hours and if that doesn't seem to help let them know. They'll also check iron levels in my blood work. Heading to the grocery store today to stock up on granola bars. Maybe I should just hit up Costco bc I know if we have them in the house I'll have to fight DH and DS for them.
Heard babies heartbeat on the doppler and a few good thuds that doc said was baby kicking around. HR in the 160s.

rosey06 I'm sorry you are in limbo. That is crazy they have such an old machine. I hope you can get in for a better US soon and get some clarity. ((Hugs)) and prayers

Thanks ladies. Appt is for Tuesday afternoon. Im not going in expecting good results. I really thought this was our special baby after how things played out beforehand.

I had my f/u for the u/s and betas today. I'm still in limbo, betas dropped from 67000 to 64000, it could be an early m/c but she felt they were very high for my measurement of 5wk+6 which brings us to my u/s. My u/s is showing what looks like 3 sacs, 2 empty, 1 fetal pole. The two empty sacs could be pockets of blood, but she said they were very clear to be blood. I'm going for more betas tomorrow and Monday then a follow up appt and u/s on 12/30.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. This sounds so confusing. Was it ever a possibility that you were having twins? Was this your first u/s?

This was my first u/s so multiples hadn't even crossed my mind.

1/30 seems like a really long time to wait for a f/u ultrasound. Did she say why so long? Are they hoping another beta draw will give you more answers?

Sorry I meant Dec 30
Oh. That's much better. I hope you get some answers soon. Big hugs!

So I had my 12 week ultrasound today at the MFMs office.
The good news is that the baby looks great. Strong HB, measuring a few days ahead, low nuchal translucency measurement.
The bad news is that my uterus still looks fucked up. I had a septum resection in August, but today they said it still looks like there's a left side and right side. The baby is in the right side. The left side they said looks "mottled" and they can't tell if it's remaining septum or scar tissue. The MFM came in to talk to me and she said that the baby looks great, but they're having trouble differentiating what's going on in the left side, which is where the placenta is. She started talking about the risks of pre-term labor and premature rupture of the membranes. And I guess it's still possible that I could end up with another 2nd tri loss. I go back in 4 weeks for another ultrasound.
I was hoping that I could get really excited about this pregnancy once I made it past my loss milestones. Now I have legit reasons to worry. So much for my shiny new uterus.
So sorry AmazingTulip sending hugs, hope all ends up ok
Ugh mrscatfarmer13 your limbo state sounds so rough, I'm so sorry. I've been backing away from the board since my apt till I know something, but I really wanted to come check in on your situation. Sending hugs.

U/s is 12/30 not 1/30
whoa, that is crazy. I'm so sorry about the betas and just so much uncertainty. I hope you get answers at your next appt. praying for you.

I'm probably going to take a step back for a bit, but thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and support. I'll post updates as I get them. Merry Christmas.

Big hugs mrscatfarmer13. I hope you have some good news coming your way.
AmazingTulip, I don't understand half of what that all means, but I'm so sorry that this is an issue. Since they know now, it's there anyway to correct it? ((Hugs))
