Update: They want me to come in for an ultrasound and biopsy the tissue in my lining today. Dumb question: in the extremely small chance I am still pregnant, and trust me I'm not banking on that, would a biopsy be a problem? Could that cause a loss?

A biopsy would likely cause a loss on the off chance that you're still pregnant. I would push for the u/s but see if you can hold off on the biopsy

I'm still lurking. I need a bit of advice. I haven't been keeping food down since last night. Liquids seem to stay down. Any tips on what to drink? At what point do I need to worry. Idk. I have a blighted ovum so all of the pregnancy symptoms are there especially the morning sickness.

I'm assuming they'll do the ultrasound before the biopsy. Since you're 6 weeks today they should be able to see something from that (I think you're one day ahead of me right, I'm 6w tomorrow). If the ultrasound confirms that it's a loss, then they'd do the biopsy. Or they may have already decided that it is a loss based on the blood work. It's a great thing to ask them when you get there. Sending lots of love and good vibes. I'm sorry this is all happening during the holidays too.

@irish I see a squinter and that wasn't a long hold. FX you have some answers soon.
@rama I'm so sorry. This limbo hell you're in is insane. I hope you get a firm answer soon. I've been thinking about you. Hugs. It's all bullshit.
My random: I wish I could just stay home while H takes DS to his family's Christmas. I just want some alone time to lay around, watch Netflix, and eat all of the cookies. I'm horrible, I know.
Will someone come and kick my husband in the nuts? He's being a total ass about things today. I reminded him that we needed to wrap my nephew's gifts, then I remembered that his pajamas also needed to be wrapped (my family has a tradition of giving pajamas on Christmas Eve, my mom buys for her kids and grandkids, but me and my sister buy for our husbands). He threw a fit saying we can just bring his pajamas over unwrapped (why bother bringing them then?). I told him I would wrap them, just bring me a box from the basement. 15 minutes later no box.
I'm fucking sorry that I am on doctored ordered rest and can't do anything! But we already aren't wrapping our gifts to each other so sorry if you had to help wrap 3 fucking presents.
Wtf is up with men and Christmas spirit? My husband won't wrap presents. At all. and did zero shopping. His parents are not getting a present because I told him that was the only one he had to buy. I will probably cave and buy them a gift card because I don't want to look like an a hole. I hope he brings you your box. But cute for the pjs:) do you guys all match?
He did finally bring me my box and his pjs are wrapped.
No we don't all match. We usually get ones that suit us. My sister gets thick warm pajamas because she is always cold. I get lightweight pajamas because I get really hot when I sleep. DH has Ninja Turtle pajamas.
We all wear them to my mom's in the morning when we go over for breakfast.

I'd try gatorade or a sports drink. Or even something like pedialyte. It'll give you lots of the stuff you need in liquid form. Do you have some saltines? Maybe try eating one and seeing if you can keep that down for a short period. Did they say that the blighted ovum would go away by itself or are they giving you something to help it along?

remylove1011 I have an appointment on Tuesday to 'confirm' even though once they ran my blood work that pretty much confirmed it. The nurse practitioner told me on the phone yesterday that they'd confirm the ultrasound on Tuesday and then an appointment with my doctor for treatment options. So I'm in a waiting game even though I already know the outcome.

I guess all of that makes sense. I'm so sorry that you're stuck in this waiting game. I'm sure that doesn't make this any easier. ((HUGS))

We told right away the first two times. I just don't think I'm comfortable until I get confirmation. I feel like I'm like lying or something if I tell them I am. Which is crazy. A line is a line and I have had several lines.
Holding off. Would have loved to tell them at Christmas though.
@rama I actually am not sure they would be able to see anything on a u/s with such low betas. I can't remember how high betas need to be before they can see anything, but I know it is in the 1,000's and not 100's. So while I would absolutely push for the u/s (in case they CAN see something), I have no idea if it will be helpful.
kam3100 what the others said--Gatorade, and maybe some smoothies? Maybe the coldness of the smoothie would help it stay down easier. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
Yeah, we're leaning towards doing the ultrasound and holding off on the biopsy until we get the next beta on New Year's Eve. The most frustrating thing is that we had accepted this loss. We grieved. We expected confirmation of information we KNEW was a foregone conclusion. And now this. **trigger under spoiler, maybe**

And a biopsy would likely cause a loss, yes. :/
Yeah, we're not expecting to see much, if anything. They usually will start doing ultrasounds around 2500, but I'm in a particularly abnormal position.
kam3100 try some chicken broth if you can. The but of salt in the broth actually helps your body absorb the fluids. So it will give you some calories and help you from getting dehydrated
Rama I was looking around a little bit after you posted and apparently the presence of a sac can continue to produce HcG even if the baby isn't growing anymore :/ I am glad they are going to do an u/s. I wish I could hug you

We got a 7 week u/s this morning. Baby measured a couple days small but had a nice strong heartbeat at 145 bpm. Best Christmas present ever . Now down at ILs doing Christmas Eve
Oh Rama, I'm so sorry you're going through this. A loss is bad enough, but to be in this limbo is just icing on the cake. I really hope you get answers today so you can move forward.

* all the trigger warnings *
I had a biopsy done to check my luteal phase and was told that if I were to get pregnant that cycle that it would cause an "increase in the chance of loss" not a definite loss. However I was told to definitely TTA that cycle.
