I'm so so sorry Mamma. That's devastating. Please let us know how you're doing.

Back from the hospital. They took my blood and my beta is just under 1,000. Pretty low for roughly six weeks, but they don't have anything to compare it to so they couldn't make a call. She said that my cervix is closed, but there is quite a bit of red blood in the vagina and it definitely feels like a full-on period to me. I'm going in for another beta on Monday morning but from my perspective this certainly feels like a m/c. I'm sad But I'll be ok! Thanks ladies for your thoughts!!

Oh Gina,
I'm so sorry to hear that I hope that everything does turn out ok. I will be thinking of you lots this weekend.

So sorry to hear that, Gina. I hope it's just a fluke. You'll be in my thoughts.

Thank you everyone for your kind and supportive words regarding my freak-out on Wednesday. Apologies for disappearing—I’ve been both totally exhausted and sleeping a lot, and really busy with work.

ShwarmaQueen: So sorry to hear of the spotting—I hope that’s eased up, and that this pregnancy sticks and gets easier for you! Yay about the hb!

Rose-Roget: Sorry to hear of your loss. : And thanks for suggesting the pregnancy after loss forum—I knew about that before and somehow forgot about it. Will check it out.

(of course, this is coming from someone who still hasn't stopped temping, so I don't know who I think I am giving that advice!) But, it looks good that your temp still was above coverline even though it dropped! Maybe you were sleeping with your mouth open or maybe even the temperature in your house fluctuated.
Gina: That’s exactly what I thought the first two temps that went down, which is why I didn’t put them on my chart. But then it kept going down… Well, in any case, it’s back up. Thank you for the suggestions. Also again.

Thanks for asking after me, Safariguri.

Thanks, Minsca. I think you must be right. After my temps went back up, I started getting reeeeally tired, and nauseated, and food cravings and aversions kicked in. So yeah—maybe it’s just normal hormones fluctuations.

AFM: The above pretty much covers it. After my temp went up after the drop, I started getting all these heavy new symptoms. My temps are back up, but I'm still having a lot of cramping. Weird. I'm trying not to worry. In the midst of all that, I’m having to write a paper for a conference I’m presenting at in a couple days. :stress:

It’s going to be so weird walking around seven weeks pregnant, with not a soul—not even the people I’m rooming with—knowing about it! My own little secret.

Rhiannon- good luck on your paper! And ibkniw what you mean about walking around be being he only one who knows.. Its so strange to know that something so significant in your life has changed, so exciting, and it's you own little secret, at least for awhile I'm cherishing every day of this. Glad to hear that things are better! And I'll be praying fir all of us that we make it through this 9 months safely and healthy!

So sorry Gina... I know this is hard not knowing, I'll be praying for you on Monday!

Shwarma... Awesome on the hb! I can't wait to see one myself!

... about your own little secret thing...

That was the plan. But my 10 year old blew it. She found out accidentally, and I told her we weren't telling anyone else yet so please keep it quiet. I've never had a problem with her blabbing before so I didn't anticipate it. Well, I guess she told her cousin, who told her sister, who told her mother, who told HER sister, who called me out on it through instant messenger last night. It was my husbands sister. So I got the whole, "do you have a secret you haven't told me???" stuff. While she wasn't negative, in fact.. she was oversweetly happy about it.. I just wasn't ready for everyone to know. I don't feel like its right that I get put on the spot and made to feel guilty simply because I didn't want to share something about MY body and MY life at this time. Argh.

Guess I can pig out and wear maternity clothes now right?

Ugh, Nature, I'm sorry. How frustrating. No way you could have known that would happen. Blah!!

Rhiannon...hee; it's weird to have the secret that you know and are thinking about a lot and no one else knowing...

I feel like I want to weep this morning. Not sure why. Have been having what feels like reflux and occasional nausea and just starting to feel a mess. I am thankful, though, because I take that all as good signs. Makes me feel more hopeful. I just wish the next 6 weeks or so could fly by!

Sorry guys for being mia for a couple days. I've felt like total and utter CRAP. I hope this goes away soon. It's cruel torture. On antinausea meds for puking, so tired I can hardly get outta bed, and my head hurts. I want to cry. Ready for this trimester to be over with already! :
post #51 of 57
Sounds miserable, Shwarma...but at least a good sign that baby is doing well! Antinausea meds can make you really drowsy on top of already feeling kind of that way...no surprise that you'd barely be able to get out of bed!

DH and I went to take a really long walk today after grocery shopping and shopping at Costco, and there was no way I was going to make it. He let me turn around early. I felt like a wimp, but I guess there's a good reason to take it easy if I'm feeling tired.

Hi ladies - I didn't want to ruin the new thread with my news Just wanted to update that I got my beta yesterday and it dropped from 1,000 on Sat down to around 200. I saw my dr. and she says my body is taking care of things just as it should, so that I guess is good news (no need for a d&c). DH and I are really ok with everything and just finding peace in knowing it wasn't meant to be for us this time around.

I want to wish you all the best with your November babes and I will be lurking around checking on you Good luck and take care!!

Love,
Gina
