Trying to Conceive Forum

Thanks Danaa! My next beta is scheduled for tomorrow, but I won't get results until Monday. I'm just so confused... because I had a full blown AF last week, so I don't know if I should count that at CD 1 or wait for another bleed you know? Ughhh. I'm just waiting for her to call back but who knows if she will before the weekend- its 4pm where I am

I really hope she does!In case you lost or will lose the pregnancy(I hate that I have to write this)count as cd1 the day you started bleeding,that is what my doctor told me.
It was AF like normal with clots and everything?or just bleeding?
Lots of women bleeding in their pregnancy,I did and i know one lady who had bled soo much taht she was conceived she wasn't pregnant anymore but her bleeding was due to low progesterone,as soon as her doctor saw the progesterone results he upped her dosage orally and vaginally and I think she had like 1-2 progesterone injections a week and her pregnancy progressed nicely after that.Where Im doctors takes very seriously progesterone and they want to see a number over 20 but I do know different doctors different ways of working and different labs means different lab references.

And yes, I tested with another Wondfo this morning and it looks the same as Wednesday night.. Here are all of the tests so far. I thought they were getting lighter overall.. but this mornings seems just as dark as Wednesday nights. They definitely don't seem to be getting darker. I think the HCG is just going to drop slowly..

Yes, AF was normal- heavy bleeding and clots- I would have never guessed I could still be pregnant after that.

Thank you for all of the info! I do spot a couple of days before AF which I know can be a sign of low progesterone, I do fear it's too late to save this one though- I will ask my Dr. what she things if/when she calls back!

Ugh I hate to say this but yeah they are not looking darker and bleeding with clots and cramps is not good.
I don't know what to say.......I'm so upset for you but at least you know you can conceive and they do say your more fertile after a loss,I got pregnant the second cycle after my loss I don't know how much this counts bcs I had Ivf done.
Good luck to you and if she doesn't call in 20mins you call them again,you need answers.

The craziest part is that my tests were basically negative the morning I started bleeding (no lines within time limit). Which means during and after all the bleeding my levels kept rising.

Yes, I've basically already accepted this as a loss- I'm honestly taking it well all things considered, because I never really had a chance to be excited or happy for this.. I knew it was a slim chance at being viable to begin with. I'll be ok <3 My husband is sad, but he's putting on a tough face.

I know,I have seen your tests that is why im saying to buy somn natural progesterone,when I lost the pregnancy I saw my husband so hurt and sad,it broke my heart seeing him this way,he tried to hide it but i knew...
Some men don't like to show their emotions or they don't want us to feel bad...I don't know.
Im also scared of a possible ectopic pregnancy.....in my buddy group there was this lady who had a late bfp and slow rising hcg with bleeding and she later found out she had an ectopic.So many questions,you are taking this better than I would've had.

by **Veronica86** » Fri Mar 24, 2017 4:45 pm

Yes, I asked her about a possible ectopic yesterday- she said that my HCG would be rising like normal even if I was having an ectopic pregnancy. But she also basically told me I wasn't pregnant yesterday because one of the urine tests she gave me was positive, but the second was negative. They even wrote "negative urine test" in my results.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is I don't think I trust her opinion on this- especially since ectopics are SO serious when they're not caught early. I may need to get a second opinion.

by **Danaa** » Fri Mar 24, 2017 4:52 pm

Definitely get a second opinion,that is not always true about the hcg rising normally,I personally know 2 women who had their hcg tested and it wasn't rising as it should,one of the ladies was lucky bcs her doctor was proactive and immediately gave her a scan when she didn't saw anything she had a shot to eliminate the ectopic pregnancy the other lady wasn't that lucky bcs her doctor was awful,it took a month to be diagnosed with an ectopic,she was bleeding and HCG wasn't doubling but in the end she got a shot as well and she said she might have surgery to remove her tube if the shot wouldn't work...she was crushed

by **Danaa** » Fri Mar 24, 2017 4:59 pm

And why in the hell would she give you two urine tests,one wasn't enough?!Or that is the clinic policy?!!Is like she was trying to prove ur lieing......
Im getting so annoyed for you,doctors do things a bit different here and maybe that is why all this it seems outrageous to me,I even have my doctors personal phone number(I love my doctor,he is the most caring and professional doctor I have seen)

by **orchidsea2016** » Fri Mar 24, 2017 7:28 pm

What a tough deal!! Make your dr check you out and make sure you are ok!! A silver lining for me was that I got pg the cycle immediately following my mc at 6.5 weeks...prayers that you get some answers

Hi Veronica

After reading your latest updates I'd want to kick my Dr if he acted as yours is

did she get back to you? Have you thought about seeing the emergency room or another Dr asap? Your test seem to vary in darkness so I can't tell if it's dropping

I'm so sorry about the whole situation and give yourself and your hubby a cuddle from me

I'm keeping whole body crossed for you... And sending heaps of love... I'm glad to hear you can conceive naturally at least there is an upside or a silver frame around the situation... Please keep us posted... Bubs and I are doing good

hoping beyond hope you can have your precious miracle asap xox I'll be thinking of you

Hi girls.. quick update. I'm freaking out a bit. I haven't peed on a test since Friday morning. I decided to test this afternoon to see if my line was getting lighter (as I fully expected) but instead... this is what I see.. my little bean is REALLY trying to stick!! But my progesterone is so low! Now I feel like I need a Rx for progesterone but won't be able to get anything until tomorrow!! What do I do?! I cannot believe how dark my line is
