~PgAL / PAIF Check in 5/3~

[sdgal]

WineNChocolate Fingers crossed it was too early for your squish. Hopefully you will see the heartbeat at your next ultrasound.

We could barely see the baby smushed up between the yolk sac and the edge of the gestational sac.

anniebn I am so sorry! Hugs and prayers.

WineNChocolate the waiting is terrible but prayers you'll see your little baby at the next appt! It's very very likely it was just a bit too early. I had an ultrasound done at 6w4d and the tech seemed surprised to see the heart beat. She said it had probably started the day before lol. So fx it was just early and everything is on track!

This is what I wanted to ask...but I didn't want  to be pushy. Its so hard to talk about it when things seem to be not so positive. but thanks for asking!

birch113 - just thinking about you..hope your okay.

[birch113]

Hey ladies. Thanks for all of your support and positive thoughts! I'm still in limbo, but things are looking more positive. The nurse called (finally!) yesterday afternoon.

My betas from Monday were fine: 8137. That's a doubling time from my last blood draw on 4/19 of ~52 hours. My progesterone dropped, though. It's over 10, but under 12 (not sure why she didn't give me the number), so I started supplements this morning.

So, right now it seems totally likely that we were just one day too soon on the ultrasound and that it was too hard to see the baby since the sac is so high in my ute with my C-section scar in the way. Of course, there is something in the back of my mind saying that the baby could've just stopped growing a day or two before my ultrasound, but I'm trying not to focus on that. I was on the fence about asking for an ultrasound Friday so that I don't have to spend the weekend in limbo, but I don't want to risk getting bad news right before Mother's Day. I think I will just suck it up and wait for our scheduled scan on Monday.

Well ladies..I wish I had wonderful news...but I have more like uneventful. I am technically 6w2d today and well I went in and my Dr. was like oh well there is the sac and the yolk everything is right on schedule for 5-6 weeks. Which is what I am based on my Ovulation. Sooo...my dr didn't give the MC talk she just said it looks viable and in two weeks she can definitely say we will hear a HB. I am a skeptic and was like are you just being nice right now...cause I need real. But I am going to stay optimistic and hope that it was just early. These are the times I wish I would of found out I was pregnant like 3 weeks after my missed period.

The next US I will be right where I was this Feb when we realized there was no fetal pole. So it will be that milestone.

I hope to still be in the running. sdgal bring one home for the team.

So we basically had the same ultrasound. I have everything crossed for you that everything is perfect at your next scan.

@usernameedit Sunny75 mrswillie trufflefries welcome to the check in!

Sorry I have been a crappy check in later this week! Between my scan on Monday and a ton of layoffs at work yesterday, I'm a little bit of a mess right now. I promise to get caught up!

[WineNChocolate]

birch113,There you are! *Big Ol' Creepy internet snuggles* I was going to say we had very similar US. I think that it was just early for us...more you than me! You are probably based on ovulation just in the beginning of 5 weeks. Got keep hope alive hunny. I hope your scan in the next couple of days is victorious. We are not out of the game yet. Stress is not your friend or your bean.

[requiressnacks]

I'm glad your betas were good, birch113. So many positive thoughts going your way for Monday....

[lastnamewithheld]

birch113, I'm so glad your beta was still good! I'm hoping with everything that I have that your ultrasound on Monday shows that HB!

[babycowbell]

birch113 that sounds encouraging! FX for Monday!

[winewinebustarhyme]

Hey guys, I took a few days off but wanted to update.

Unfortunately I am out. I had my u/s on the 25th at 8w4d and baby measured 7 weeks with no heartbeat. My dr is very optimistic that I just did not give my cycles enough time to regulate (I only had one full cycle after my previous loss before my BFP). We were sad of course, but we know it will happen for us. The day we found out we ended up taking DS to the beach for a week with my mother, per my boss's order.

My OB and I have a great game plan for next time. I truly wish you all a happy and healthy next 8 months!!

[lastnamewithheld]

winewinebustarhyme, I'm so sorry! take care of yourself!

I'm not having a good PGAL/PAIF day. I woke up feeling great - like a totally "normal", non-pregnant person! Yay!, right? Nope - Immediately my thoughts go to a really dark, dark place. This is such a mindfuck.

Thanks for listening.

You are not alone!  I had that happen to me last week - all my symptoms were just gone (except I was still a bit tired) and I was so nervous.

Try to enjoy it, because in just a few days my symptoms came back!  

Stay positive - do something good for yourself that you haven't done in awhile because of your symptoms.  

((hugs))

Thank you.  I just repeated the mantras to myself and went to my cafeteria and got a chicken ceasar salad.  I am feeling a little better.

{Hugs} Hope your worry lessens thru the weeks and you get to enjoy the wonders of pregnancy.

requiressnacks, sorry friend. Try taking some big deep breaths. In through nose and out through mouth. Like really deep and noisy. I find that relaxes my body a lot and helps me cope a bit better. Hugs and enjoy the chicken Caesar salad!

[birch113]

requiressnacks I had a day like that yesterday. Then I lost up my breakfast this morning. I hope you can find some peace of mind. (((hugs)))

This has happened to me too. But I looked in the mirror last night and could tell I've definitely got more pudge than I had around the mid-section. So that made me feel better. Who feels good about getting fatter? Lol
