beachy~ Im confused, Do you know what your progesterone is now? or thats what your waiting for?
I know exactly how you feel. I went throught this in March and everytime I went to the bathroom I was just anticipated blood being there. Its awful feeling like you just don't know whats gonna happen.
The good news is TONS of women spot (even have full AF) and everything ends up totally fine
My progesterone at exactly 5 weeks is 11.5. I had beta and progesterone done on Wednesday and had to go back for a repeat on Friday, but I don't get those results until Monday!
Congrats on your baby Indigo!!! I bet he is just precious!!!Quote:

With ds2 i got a positive test and then bleeding so went to docs as i presumed i was miscarrying but both boys were fine. Docs told me its only if its heavy and really red blood particuarly with pain that you really need to worry.
Fingers crossed for you, hopefully its just one of the many dramas your little girl will through your way xxxxxxx
THERE IS NONE AND PLEASE DO NOT CHECK YOUR CERVIX WHILE PREGNANT.Quote:

Exactly. :agree: You can see that it's not one number in isolation that matters, it's the set of numbers and how they change over time.Quote:

You ladies really are so reassuring! I really, really appreciate it! It means so much! :awe:
I have come to realize that whatever will be, will be and looking at numbers or worrying won't do anything but cause me stress. I only have one more day until I get my results. I haven't had any spotting at all so I do feel good about that!
Checking in this am! Let us know your results when u get them. I'm sure your #s will bs right where they need to be!
I called the dr and am waiting for them to call me back! HURRY UP!
Hoping you get good numbers Beachy!!! I'm sure you will!
Atomic, I've come to my senses!! I told myself that I was being obsessive, and that it was a good way to drive myself crazy. I havent dont it again, and no pink....duh, go fiure.
can't wait to hear updated betas Beachy! I'm sure everything is OK tho!
waiting and waiting :-) Hope the numbers are good beachy!
Stalking for your update.... Praying you get good news!
Hope you've had good news NC x
Praying for you Beachy!:bighug:
So I just got my beta back and it went from 4,794 to 8,324 so they said that was good. BUT, they said the lab made an error and didn't check my progesterone. So, I have to go back today for another lab for progesterone to make sure it is going up! UGHHH!!!!!
At least my beta doubled! Would you all breath a sigh of relief or hold out for the progesterone results before feeling better?
yay for the good beta results! I think that is a good enough sign in my opinion, but I also honestly don't know much about the numbers and their meanings either.
Yay! That is a good sign!!!Quote:

I know I would obsess and it would do me more harm than good. I am sure everything is fine Beachy, remember....I already told your Beachy Bean that they better behave!!!
Sounds really good hun, especially as you're feeling sick etc too.
So good they do these tests for you, when I had spotting at 8 weeks pregnant with ds1 my GP said 'well, there isn't anything I can do you're probably having a miscarriage just go home and put your feet up'. He refused to arrange a scan even. My dh called my midwife and she talked to me on the phone and said that it was probably nothing and explained how common spotting can be around that time, but she could tell I was a nervous wreck and arranged a scan for me to put my mind at rest. Thankfully all was well, so horrible waiting to find out though so I totally sympathise with you. xx
According to this website: Beta values main chart the average for 23 DPO is 2,463 and mine is over 8,000 so I guess that should make me feel better too!
i bled bright red for 3 months. i figured i had a miscariage and never went in to the doctor to get checked. when i did finally go in there was a perfect little baby measuring 12 weeks waving at me. he's 2 months old now and still naughty!
NC- how are you? Im sure baby is ok with those great beta numbers!
I'm doing good!!!! Thanks for asking! I did have a tiny bit of spotting on Monday after DH and I DTD so nothing to worry about it..it was just a tiny spot and did not come back. My final #s ended up:
21 DPO - Beta:4,794; Progesterone: 11.5
23 DPO - Beta: 8,324; Progesterone unknown
26 DPO - Beta: 19,081, Progesterone: 10.1
The doctor said not to worry about progesterone...seems pretty low to me...but said my beta was the biggest indication that everything is going OK.
Lookin good beachy!
That's awesome! Hope you feel relieved.
