thanks for everyone's well-wishes, and THE PREGNANCY IS OK...i had a sub-chorionic hematoma , it was near the pregnancy, and hence is still a danger for me. if i have more heavy bleeding, it could wipe out my pregnancy, but this chance is small.

so we saw the baby on u/s, still measuring good and heartbeat 167!!..what a relief. my DH was so grateful. the tech was so nice. she gave us a picture, and we could also see where the bleed occurred. then to my OB's office, he reviewed everything, and examined me- specifically my cervix, they were concerned it was still open. but it has closed and felt 'competent'..... so all things considered, this is about the best news i could have got.

thanks again for everyone's care.. i'm exhausted now, i'll rest and catch up with posts and personals later..karen

Good evening ladies. I just wanted to log in and do a few personals.

Karen I am so happy to see that your baby is ok. I know that it must have been terrifying when you saw that blood. I pray that the rest of your pregnancy is healthy.

gina Congrats on 1st u/s. It's so wonderful to see the little bean! Good luck on your 2nd u/s and I look forward to the good report. I have my 2nd u/s on 12/23. I am so excited & nervous at the same time.

waiting for 4 I am so sorry to hear about your m/s. I pray that you and DH are doing ok.

Much Hope I am happy to see that baby C has pulled through. Congrats and I hope the rest of your pregnancy is a healthy and happy one.

ManitouBaby Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Glad to have you be apart of this thread.

To all of the ladies in the 2ww, hang in there and stay positive. I"m praying with you for your BFP! I hope that everyone else is doing well! Take care. HUGS to all!!! :D

Karen Glad to see everything has worked out... Plenty of taking ot easy is the way to go right now and dont let anyone stress you out :)

Manitou baby Welcome to out thread and to the 2WW. I am having my beta the day before you. I had my transfer (3 day) on the 9th so i feel like i have been in the 2WW forever and i'm starting to go really crazy now!

Hey Ladies, i went for blood work yesterday, which i have never done in a 2WW before. My levels were

Progesterone 380
Estrogen 1100

Does this seem ok to anyone? He told me to cut my estrogen pills. I have never had these bloods before so i dont know if they are good or bad? to me estrogen seems high but not a clue on progesterone...

Any thoughts. And i still have no symptoms (as per usual so my PMA is slipping through my fingers)

Karen - I'm so happy and relieved for you!

Well I had my u/s this morning and I just feel terrible. They could not see a clearly defined sac as they should. At least they could see that last time. It is not over yet, but I just feel a sense of dread and I don't know if I can handle this again.

Good morning ladies.

Manitou baby - I also had a 5 day transfer but we put back 3. I would absolutely love twins, but I would take triplets or a single if god would give them to me.

KAS101 - I dont have to do bloodwork before the beta test but I am on estrogen patches so maybe it has to do with you being on the pills instead of the patch.

2ww update - luckily I have been so busy this week that I haven't had too much time to think about the long wait. I dont know how I am going to handle next Tue waiting for them to call with the results - that is going to be a super long day.

karenvancouverisland - that is great news that everything is okay. Lets hope the rest of your pregnancy is uneventful!!!

Well my nurse said there is still hope because my bloodwork was good - hcg at over 1,600 and my progesterone was nice and high. She said there is definitely still hope. It's just so hard after last time! I go back Friday for u/s. Keep me in your prayers!!!!!

Thanks guys,
Jill

Karen, I am so thrilled that everything is fine. Stay positive and get some rest. You lil bean is nice and snuggled for her winter nap :)

Kas, I am sorry you are in a sort of limbo. When will they do another U/S and have they order any bw to see if your levels are good.

Keep us posted, we are all here for you.. ((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

Karen, I'm just catching up on all of the posts and saw your news. I'm so glad to hear that you and baby are fine. It sounds like everything is good now and am sure they will keep a watchful eye on you. Hope you get some rest and don't have any more scares. That's got to be so draining for you but all is well now. Sorry you had to go through that!

Hi Manitoubaby, welcome and congrats on being in the 2ww. You and some others can all wait together. Glad you found this board.

Kas, I'm not sure about the blood levels. I didn't have any b/w during the 2ww. Keep positive though, no symptoms doesn't mean anything. So your beta is next Tuesday? Right before Christmas!

JDC, keep up the hope for you and baby. If the nurse was happy with your hcg and progesterone then that's a good sign. Let us know how your u/s goes on Friday.
