Erp...after 2 mc, scared to hope: UPDATE: hCG levels came back GREAT!

[blissfish]

N'other Update: Naturopath called - Lab "found" my blood, and the hCG came back right in range! Spotting just...spotting, at this point. to everyone who was so supportive! I'm never going to be done worrying about this baby, but I feel much less stressed out about the blood.

Update: Took an hCG blood test on Monday, and the labs got lost! So instead of good news, I have...prolonged no news. Plus, ugh, my poor wee veins! Please, keep your good vibes coming!!

I took a + HPT on Wed. It's my 3rd pregnancy in about 14 months (lost 1 at 6 wks 3/05 and 1 at 11 wks 1/06).

Today I've had a little bit of spotting. I can't bear to hope, or tell anyone again (except you all... ). When is typical implantation? I haven't even called my OB yet, since I'm having trouble associating her with anything except bad news.

Please send me good vibes. I'm scared my stress and fear are making the chances of mc that much more likely.

Sending you lots of sticky vibes!!!

I don't really know anything about implantation, but I completely understand your fear...having had a m/c myself in December, I have been freaked out basically since the day I got my BFP. Please be kind to yourself and try not to stress!

I'm sending you good vibes and hoping that you will be joining us for discussions over the next several months.



Please keep us updated!

Congratulatin on your pregnancy! I had many m/c and I know what you mean by "scared to hope". Try to relax and enjoy - I know it is hard.
With my current pregnancy I had bleeding for 3 days and it started on the day when I expected my period (which was 14 days after I ovulated). It was pretty severe bleeding (with cramps) - I do not know what made me to take a test - it looked like a period. I am not sure if this was "implantation" or not.

If you worry - you can try to go to your OB and ask for quantative hcg test - you have to do it at least twice to compare results. It really depends on your OB practice. See if you can get a test today or tomorrow.

Hi, Rebekah, sending you sticky vibes.

I've also had 2 recent m/c and just got a on Wednesday. I'm thrilled but a little scared, too. Today I talked to my belly and sang a song, and I think it made my chick pea a bit stickier. Let's stay in this due date club together!

So...still just a tiny tiny bit of brown and cramping. Thanks to other threads, I called my naturopath & am going in for an hCG test today. I'm feeling...optimistic. Lots of people seem to have these symptoms, and it isn't always complete doom, right?

THANKS again for all your support, and wish me luck.

Rebekah - I've been reading your posts and am holding your hand from afar. Bled a little myself today and am hopeful it's implantation bleeding. Had a 6 week miscarriage in March, so the anxiety of holding onto this pregnancy is full force. Peace and happiness to all of us!
