The I'm Scurred Thread 5/19

[ashtog]

siouxsieq yep! Google hcg levels on clear blue digital and it will tell you 1-2 is 50-200, 2-3 is 200-2000, and 3+ is 2000+

spano41 ((hugs)) I'm pulling for you!

Eta: clumsy fingers made my statement a question

[flcl]

I have many of the same fears as you... Will this pregnancy result in a healthy baby? Will H and I be able to handle 2? I think my biggest one right now is will my LO continue to be the fun loving little guy he is with a younger sibling in his life? I wish I had a crystal ball to tell me yes to all of the above questions

[silvermelody]

spano41 I'm so sorry about your daughter and how rough it was for your relationship. I think your fears are valid, but the fact that you are already thinking about them means you can put plans in place to mitigate some of it, like making time for your DD.

The odds of having a second with KS are so slim, try to let that fear go without dwelling on it. Easier said than done, but try.

[silvermelody]

ashtog thank you

[mleep]

spano41 you sound like one amazing Mom. The thought of having 2 is overwhelming for most people (myself definitely included!) and I can't imagine the thoughts and fears running through your head now.

While there's not much I can offer you besides my thoughts and prayers, I'm always here to listen.

[judyblume14]

summerrain, how are you doing today? Hair pats to you.

spano41 - that sounds like... a lot. Hugs.

Deep breaths...I called my ob's office this morning to get the results of my betas, and they only had Friday's test, but not Wednesday's. And Friday's was only 91. So cue my freaking out and lots of googling before they called to say they got Wednesday's from the lab and it was 41. Which was a little bit of a relief.

Because of the ectopic I had a few years ago, they'll have me continue to go in until the numbers (hopefully) take off. And then I'll get an early ultrasound, either end of this week or early next to confirm the embryo is actually in my uterus.

So today was a first positive step, I was just hoping for higher numbers (for comparison, with DD's pregnancy, I went from 146 to 747 in 3 days, though with the ectopic, I don't think my hcg levels went much above 52).

Sorry for the novel, trying to work all this out in my head!

[flcl]

mleep, glad you were able to get both results and that gave you some relief. The beginning waiting game is so rough

Well the bleeding got so bad last night I ended up changing my clothes three times during the night so that was...fun. Sorry for the TMI. Anyway, just going in to get my betas drawn now and will go back on Wednesday to confirm they are going down. I took a test this morning and my second line was barely there. I'm just going to hang out here for a couple days in case some miracle happens. Thanks for thinking of me.

[peaseblossom55]

I'm sorry summerrain, I'm still hoping you get good news.

[peaseblossom55]

So now I am in freak out mode, now I have to worry about the extra risk of multiples and now having two babies that are healthy and chromosomally normal. Also twins on my 4'10" frame is going to be rough. A whole new set of worries have just arrived, good thing I meet with my therapist on Wednesday.

[mleep]

Big hugs summerrain.

Should be 5+3. Coming back from another blood draw now, will get results by tomorrow morning (hopefully tonight, but not holding my breath).

well, the numbers went up right? so try to focus on that. and like you said, your EP didn't go above 51? so this is already better than that right? {{hugs}} 

[rinny]

My progesterone was low with my DD. They just put me on a supplement until my placenta took over around 12 weeks I think. It was just an extra pill. I would call your OB and see if they can just send you a script or something. Try not to freak out though. I know that's hard not to do.

[mleep]

LovesMeSomeCake, I'd call your ob. You can be put on progesterone suppositories.

[ellabee]

Sending so many ((hugs)) your way summerrain.
