Please help me figure this out!!!

Anybody...?
I am going in for a beta quant tomorrow...so hopefully that will give me some insight...
Here is my chart if anyone wants to take a look:
Katie's chart

That makes me feel alittle better...but I had a three pack and two were and one that I took the day before was a This is all so weird...and upsetting.

Ok, I know you said you were going in for the test today so at least you will have an answer

the thing is that even if this is a chemical pregnancy that does NOT mean that you were not pregnant. An egg was fertilized it just didn't implant. I'm not sure if it is the implantation that makes you "pregnant" or the fertilization. But just remember our baby was still created. the beginning work had started.

I hope that this is just a false alarm for you and that everything is fine.

I actually didn't get to get in today, they called and asked me to come tomorrow... I won't even have any results till Wednesday! (Which feels like forever and a day....)

Megan- Thanks for your reply! The thing I don't understand about chem. pregnancies, is if I had 3 days of how could not have implanted? Did it just die soon after? And, call me insane, but I swear I FELT it implant! Ow! (Same when I was pg with dd.)

I am trying to remain calm and optimistic, but I am prepared for the real possiblity that I may lose this baby. I just want this baby so bad! My midwive's office is treating me so insensitively - like every pregnant woman in their office is much more important than a woman who is afraid her baby died/isn't viable/will never come to be. Sucks.

A little T Does anyone know about diarrhea....is it a sign of impending miscarriage? I know it is linked to labor sometimes. I have had a bad case of it for 2 days. Maybe it's unrelated. :

Well we're in the same boat on the waiting game, ecxept that my gp will have my results by the afternoon--I plan to be in her office to pick up the requistion tomorrow morning when they open at 8:30 I did take a home preg test this morning and it was still Course with some of the other threads I've read it can take forever for the beta level to drop again. Does anyone know what level the average hpt picks up???

My quant hcg was today...but I didn't go. I woke up bleeding bright red...and just felt the pregnancy was over. Maybe I should have gone in for confirmation, but I just don't feel like being poked and prodded under flourescent lights surrounded by pregnant women.

It's_our_family, thank you for all of your kind words and encouragment.I remember you from the TTC board,and you were always so nice!

I'm thinking the diarrhea happened for the same reason it does before birth...just to rid the body of waste in preparation to get the baby out. Causeitis magically gone now. After two days of that, and now bleeding, I am trying extra hard to get hydrated.

Is a bad lower backache/cramping the norm for m/c? How long will this last? Megan, when you had your chem. pregnancy, how long did you bleed? I am also terrified of the baby going into the toilet. I know it is really teeny...but still.
Thanks everyone.

katie, i'm so sorry for your loss.

{{{{{{{{{{oh Katie}}}}}}}}}}}I'm sorry
Hang in there sweetie.

Hi Katie,
I'm sorry to hear about your bleeding today. As you likely know from the other threads you and I have been chatting on, I got confirmation of my m/c today. I feel like I'm in a different sort of world right now. How does one mourn the loss of someone you never knew?? (and yes, I do think of it as someone, and somehow I just know it was a girl-why, not sure) This was my first preg, and thus also my first m/c. I know for me the cramping in my back was terrible. I actually ruptured a disc inmy back a few yrs back adn lived through 18 mos of that and then surgery and I really don't know that any of that pain was worse than what I went through Fri night. I have a pretty high pain threshold and I'm sure the emotional pain played a huge role (one I'm not accustomed to letting in ) but if you combine emotional and physical pain, I've never been through such hell (does that make sense????) My dh has left for work adn I'm now kicking myself for not asking him to stay home, I'm sure he'd have preferred that but he's trying so hard not to burden me or hurt me so he's also not showing how he's really feeling. My big old dog (who I SWEAR know what I was talking about when I told him he'd have a baby to protect hasn't left my side and just keeps looking at me with his big sad eyes. He almost didn't make it through last winter and although he's much better this year, I so wanted him to be around when we brought a baby in. This likely sounds stupid but when you think of Norman Rockwell--this dog is the dog every kid should have. My old boy just worships children and has taught 3 of my cousins to walk by letting them haul themselves by his ear, we used to try to stop it until we noticed that whenever he saw them wanting to "move" he'd go over and hold his head down for them to grab onto. This is a 100 lb german shepherd who is trained in search & rescue, bitework and narcotics, he's just got such an amazing heart where children are concerned. We also have his granddaughter right now and while she is a great working dog, she simply does not have his amazingly kind heart.
Sorry for the length of this, I'm just so glad to have somewhere to speak as we told very few people.
Anyway Katie, huge and if you want to talk, feel free to private mess me.

I'm very sorry for your loss......

Yes, low backache and crmaping is very normal. My chem pg was a lot like a normal period for me. I'm not sure why but my m/c never were that severe...I guess its kinda lucky...if you can even call it that...

Its hard to lose a pg you have worked so hard for...even if you hadn't been working hard it is stillnot easy...

Take care of yourself. Drink plenty of fluids. Take it easy. And don't forget to grieve...for me this was the hardest but I'm glad I let myself. Even if the only women that understand our right here.
