Back again!

[1moregirl]

Fingers crossed for you Tinksmagic. I hope and pray this one is healthy and sticks for you. Have you had any more blood work done? Waiting for things like this is just awful I know. Xx

[tinksmagic]

Not sure what to think at this point, and again, not holding my breath. Should be 6 weeks today. Hcg is over 9200. Ultrasound shows 1 sac in perfect shape but doesn't appear to have anything in it (though she didn't spend much time looking, just long enough to take measurements) and is measuring 5w1d. I go back in 11 days for another scan. My ob isn't concerned, she said everything looks great at this point, numbers are going up and symptoms are all strong. I'm on progesterone finally and not much more we can do except wait.

Sounds frustrating to not really know Tink but glad OB says not to worry. Really hoping this your stickie bean.

Hi Tinks, you said you were going back for a scan this week so I wanted to say good luck and I hope it is nothing but really great news. Thinking of you.

[tinksmagic]

Thank you!
So yesterday I had a second scan (7w4d). apparently because I'm a large woman and have had several kids, things are "very 'big'" in there and she had to zoom out 3 times to see anything. In doing so she lost resolution. We can see something in the sac, she thinks it's the yolk sac and maybe something else, but couldn't get the resolution. She did say the sac is measuring 7w1d (it's catching up), has a great round shape and has the "ring" around it (all very good signs). Added to it that my hcg 12 days ago was actually 9538 (not 9200) which puts it as doubling normally and I have no signs or symptoms of miscarriage.
I go back next Friday for another scan. Doctor said to stay cautious because we aren't seeing the baby, but other than that, everything is still good. If next week they will can't see anything, I have to have an ultrasound at the hospital because their machines are much better.

Hi Tinksmagic,

First tri is so nerve-wracking isn't it?

Were you able to find a heartbeat at your u/s? I think once you hear it, it would go a long ways towards easing any anxiety.

[tinksmagic]

It certainly is! No, no heartbeat yet.
Today I had very light (tinged) brown spotting, might be from the ultrasound the other day. And very slight cramping (might be pants are now very tight, it stopped when I unbuttoned them).
But yeah, very frustrating! One more week and maybe we'll finally know!

OH that's so nice to have some good news!!! and happy thoughts coming your way.

Thinking of you at your u/s this week Tinksmagic!
