Well I spoke with the doctors and htey said that my HCG was -2 or Negative. My progesterone was 6 and my thyroid normal.
I asked what the chances of my being pregnant are and that thye might have checked blood to early. They did agree that I may have implanted on Sunday night and therefore wouldn't show anything much yet on blood even....but I dont know. The progesterone is so very low that even if I am pregnant - the chances of me miscarrying are way too high.
My symptoms dnt seem to be going away but getting stronger. So I decided to reschedule an appt tomorrow and make them check me out because something is going on. If it's not pregnancy then something hormonally is being screwy because I just feel pregnant!
We shall see. Im betting it has something to do with the fact that I have dropped 71lbs in a total of 2.5mths. Maybe it has caused my cycle ot be wonky or something...maybe my "implantation spotting," was actually "o"?
Im aso going to talk to him bout sterilization procedures because Im sick of this crap. I rather not be pregnant at all if it's always going to end badly. I also am tired of the wiating thing. I had intentions of getting "fixed" last year but didn't do it because I got pregnant. It ended badly and I should have rescheduled but didn't. **sigh**

I was mistaken about my HCG number. I called back and asked why I was getting positive tests if Im at minus 2. She said she told me "22." So I am pregnant. But apparently will inevitably lose the baby.

I'm so sorry...

I think your new doctor sounds great, though... maybe he can really make a big difference for your health and ttc-efforts. I'd understand if you'd want to sterilize...but, as you know, that is a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. I am sure your doctor can talk over the pros and cons with you.

Sending you
You are not an idiot. Even your doc thought it sounded like you were preg!!!

If you have an HCG of 22, that is within the range of normal for an early pregnancy. if your progesterone is low, can they prescribe a progesterone suppository to help you sustain the pregnancy? I would definitely call and find out about this! Why are they so certain that you will lose the pregnancy?

I'll keep you in my thoughts, and I hope everything works out for the best! Please keep us updated!

I dont understand why you think you would loose the baby? 22 is a good number for your dpo and the progesterone though low dosnt = m/c they can put you on progesterone if they will. With ds at 25 dpo my progesterone was only 8.9 so they put me on the progesterone as a precaution and he is now a healthy 4y.

Contrary to what some say if the baby is healthy and has no defects and your only issue is low progesterone then progesterone can prevent m/c. Some woman have low progesterone with a normal baby but if the progesterone isnt raised they start bleeding and cause the baby to loose its hold.

Im scheduled to go in tomorrow morning at 8:50 and we are going to talk about the option of progesterone and such. I think there is something I dont know. Like feels like they want to tell me something else at this appt too or they would just call the progesterone over the phone right? He seems to think that the progesterone may only prolong the pregnancy a little and wont actually prevent the miscarriage.
We will see what new info I get tomorrow.
