Popping in from my normal board for some solidarity...
Got a very surprising BFP on Friday -- unexpected and unplanned. Found a new OB/GYN that day and made my first appointment (which isn't until 2/15) and went in to have my blood drawn because I wasn't exactly sure how far along I might be -- first day of last period was December 20, but my cycles are irregular, sometimes 28 days, sometimes 35. HCG on Friday was 530.2. Went in today and its only at 871, didn't double within 72 hours. They're having me come back in on Wednesday but the nurse basically told me to look out for bleeding, seems like I might be having a MC.
So I went from total and utter shock for two days, freaking out, to starting to be happy, and now I just feel so sad. I just hate this waiting around in limbo bit -- if I'm pregnant I can deal with it, and if I'm not I can deal with it, but dammit I just want to be able to make plans because its a big freaking deal!
Sorry, I know there isn't really any advice anyone can give me, I just needed to unload to a friendly ear.
**UPDATE**
Wednesday level was 1204. So it's not doubling as expected. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next Wednesday that should hopefully determine once and for all whats going on. Everything I've read online says I'm probably headed for a miscarriage, but the nurse I spoke to yesterday was strangely optimistic. Honestly at this point I just want to know either way.
**SECOND UPDATE**
Ultrasound was inconclusive!! BAH. There was a sac, but it was too small to measure. No fetal pole. It's possible that my dates are off, that the spotting I had two weeks ago was implantation bleeding and that I'm 4 weeks instead of 6 weeks. Or, more likely, I have a blighted ovum. Basically the only way to know is to go back in a couple weeks for another ultrasound.
I can't believe I'm stuck waiting around for another few weeks before knowing. Meanwhile, my body *thinks* it's pregnant - full day morning sickness and migraines have hit. UGH.
