Hello Ladies,
I joined a few days ago but been waiting to hear my final HCG numbers before I could officially say my hello here. Third time lucky wasn’t to be…
The beta-HCG has not budged from last week (rose 5 points from 115 to 120 - I should be nearly 6 weeks now).
I received such kindness and support in November-14 on the Bump Loss (same username there) when I lost out on my second attempt, and I knew nowhere else to go. I heard this is the place to come to.
So here goes my story…
Am 32 (DH is 31) and we been married almost 4 years. Got my first BFP in Jan 14, which ended in a MMC at 6 weeks. Though I carried it till almost 12 weeks – repeated sonograms and lots of meds, negligent doc and even more painful recovery. My body was in so much pain for months later – periods became horrid, and I couldn’t even think to TTC again. Till October 14.
BFP#2 in Nov14 ended soon in a blighted ovum. I really didn’t go through much pain this time (had changed my doc). It was over before I even realised it was there.
I did a list of blood work to check for immune & clot factors and infections – everything came Normal!
Now, I wanted to give myself a break but a February short vacation turned into a surprise for us.
BFP#3 in end Feb 15. My doc put me on suppositories straight away and I had beta-HCG drawn. At 4.3 weeks, it was a mere 115. A week later (today), only 120.
So here I am, so numb and exhausted from hearing bad news every time I visit hospital.
Worse is, my in-laws are visiting currently for a week and I don’t know what to do…should we tell them our situation (and of course ruin their vacation with us) or should I pretend all is fine and carry this bean with me till they leave before I take the med/do D&C?
<Sorry about the length>
