PGAL/PGAIF Check in 4/3

[laurensc927]

I'm glad the ultrasound was good bethkate! Continuing to think good thoughts for you!

[twotxmommies]

How far along are you? 6w1d

How are you doing physically and emotionally? nauseous all day anxious all the time.

Appointments and/or milestones? u/s this afternoon, we got to hear the heartbeat which was a nice surprise as our RE said that it would probably be too early. Heart rate 124 measuring spot on.

Venting space/need for thoughts and prayer? I have been having some intense cramping that has me scared. RE says nothing to worry about and to increase water, but it doesn't help. PRAL brain has me over analyzing everything. I feel like I am living for my next appointment.

Thanks, everyone. Ultrasound was good. Baby measured 9w6d (I'm 9+4) with a heart rate of 183 (up from 166 last week). I'm still not confident things will continue to go well, but it's not over yet.

That is great news!  Did they have any suggestion about the bleeding?  Continuing my good thoughts and prayers

Nope, no reason for it. That's what is making me feel so pessimistic. I've been here before with bleeding and a good u/s, and then ended up miscarrying.

I hope you that your fears are unfounded.

bethkate, How are you doing this morning?

Thanks for asking. I'm fine. It's back to brown spotting. OB appointment is tomorrow afternoon, so we'll see what they have to say.

I could use some thoughts and prayers. I'm on my way to my 1st scan and I'm so nervous they're going to tell me something is wrong.

[theloveparade]

T&Ps fknhostile I hope everything is great today!

[fknhostile]

Thank you theloveparade

[fknhostile]

So I don't know what to think right now.

Baby only measured 6 weeks 1 day. I know I'm 7 weeks by ovulation. With a heart rate of only 108. If I'm only 6w 1d then I got my 1st positive at 4dpo... Yeah no.

I have another scan in 2 weeks. I don't know if I can handle waiting 2 weeks. It's hard to think optimistically right now. I cried the whole way home. I can't lose another baby.

[peggels24]

((hugs)) fknhostile, sending you lots of good thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry. Two weeks is a long time but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

[laurensc927]

Sending you lots of positive thoughts fknhostile. I'm sorry you have to wait so long for the next scan.

Thinking good thoughts for you bethkate!

[blabbermouth]

I'm sorry you're in this position fknhostile It's hard to wait at the best of times! Sending you good thoughts!

[cnf2013]

Oh fknhostile, im sorry. Hopefully baby is just a slow starter. And early sonogram can be off, baby is sooooo small.

If you can't wait two weeks maybe wait a few days then go to an ER or urgent care that can do another scan. Big hugs.

[cnf2013]

So I think I'm spotting? I say I think because it's a small brown spot in my underwear but the bathroom at work is dark and dingy I can't really tell for sure. There didn't seem to be anything when I wiped. Ughhhhhh. My scan is Monday, I think I can, I think I can.

[fknhostile]

Thanks everyone. It's tough to stay positive when those measurements make no sense. Maybe a day or 2 off, but not 6. And with the hb at 108, I don't have much hope.

The tech had no clue what she was talking about and the doc wasn't there today. She kept saying I must be wrong about when I concieved... I'm not. So I called my OB and waiting for a call back now.

[theloveparade]

fknhostile I'm sorry you're stuck worrying about this for 2 more weeks. I know how much that sucks. Sending all the positive healthy baby thoughts your way!

cnf2013 maybe it's just the lighting in your work bathroom? I can relate to that! If there's nothing when you wipe it's probably nothing to worry about. Hugs. ❤

Sounds like an incompetent tech. I'd try not to worry too much till you speak to the doctor.

[fknhostile]

Just got off the phone with my ob. She hasn't recieved the results from the scan yet, and won't until Monday. But from the info I gave her she said there isn't much we can do but wait.
My 1st appt with her is 4/14.

She said if I start bleeding to call, but in the meantime I'm in limbo until my next scan.

[jax1182014]

Ugh sorry you are in limbo fknhostile.

[laurensc927]

I'm so sorry for the limbo fknhostile, I'll keep sending positive vibes your way.

Sorry about the spotting cnf2013. I've pretty much had it since day one so I'm right there with you.

I'm sorry you're in limbo. Is there any way they could get you in for an u/s prior to your appt next week? It seems crazy to make you wait two weeks for another.

Thank you. When they call me Monday with the "results" I'll ask but I really don't think so. She said there isn't much they can do in the meantime but wait. And 2 weeks was the earliest the receptionist said they could get me in.

Thanks. I haven't seen anymore, and it was brown so I'm sure it's fine, but it's hard not to over analyze things. 

My appointment was originally Tuesday afternoon but the other health teacher knows I'm pregnant and doesn't have any morning classes. She told me to make all my appointments first thing in the morning and she would teach my morning class, so I changed it. Somehow going 30 hours earlier feels like such a huge difference.

Hi, I just wanted to do a quick intro over here. Im 6w6d and had an u/s today. Baby was good measuring 6w4d and HB 134. I had a mmc in January w/ a d&c. Even though the u/s was good it's hard to be super excited or even reassured. But "today I am pregnant and I love my baby"

Here's to the most boring and healthy 9months for us all!!!
