welcome back! Although.... almost no one is here anymore. Can I invite you to our super secret FB group?

Amy - I'm so sorry for your loss. It's always so sad.

AFM - I'm 1 week past D&C. My beta on Wednesday was down to 514. Hopefully it'll keep dropping fast. With my previous two first trimester loss, it took a really really really long time to drop to zero. I'm hoping my period does come in the ...

Gi - congrats! That's amazing! You made it to your 35 week planned C-section!

Enjoy your new babies!

Gi - either those babies are here, or you have having your planned C-section tomorrow! OMG! OMG! OMG! Good luck! I can't wait to hear the good news!

so many betas today! I'm stalking for results....

AFM -

yeah.... what a nightmare.

We decided to go with misoprostol. I didn't want to wait any longer to miscarry and we decided with my doctor that a D&C wasn't a great idea. The amount of tissue was so small, and I've already had 4 D&Cs and 3 ...

Nicole - I hope you are pregnant! What are your chances, or do you have no idea? Try not to drive yourself crazy... but I know that's impossible!

AFM - met with my beloved OB today - he said that he doesn't think a D&C is necessary and that we should try the misoprostol to induce the miscarriage ...

gestational sac hasn't grown. There is still no yolk sac or fetal pole.

Definitely a blighted ovum.

I have an OB appt on Monday. We'll do another u/s to confirm and then discuss the options. The main options are (1) D&C (2) misoprostol (medication to induce a miscarriage) (3) wait for the ...

gestational sac grew to 10mm, but nothing inside. No yolk sac, no fetal pole, no heartbeat. My beta is over 10,000 - so we should see something.

Now we wait, but it's most likely a blighted ovum.

Next scan on Thursday.

so...

Thursday night, after work, I started bleeding. A LOT. Bright blood pouring out of me - soaking through pad, underwear, my mattress.

The bleeding stopped after about 4 hours.

Friday morning, we went for an u/s. My doctor was suspicious of an ectopic pregnancy. We didn't see anything ...

gi- babies still baking?

AFM - u/s on Sunday! Gah!

ugh! That sucks. Did they tell you what time they'd call?

My old clinic always took foreeevver to call. With my new clinic, the results are posted on the online-portal as soon as they are available - usually around noon. Soooo much better!

What was your results?

well, RE wants the u/s sooner - so rescheduled for Sunday April 7th at exactly 6 weeks...

beta at 23dpER - 1365!!!

fingers crossed. U/S scheduled for April 11th at 6w4d. I'm trying to relax and not go crazy until then....

beta at 16dp5dt = 374! Doubling in 34 hours since Friday. Cautiously optimistic....

Tawny- two girls! Hurray! Congrats! I'm so happy they are doing so well!

Gi - those three babies still baking? I'm stalking for a birth announcement!

Kynlee - how are you and the little guy?

AFM - beta is still going up -- 141 yesterday at 19dpER. Another blood test tomorrow.... I'll be 5 weeks ...
