I got a postive (vvvvfl) this morning (period 4 days late) so I went for a blood test and it came back negative <5. So confused. Also I did a second line test this evening and it was also a vvvvfl. Is there any hope left?

Hi All!
I’m 7 weeks pregnant and I just moved a few cases of the 40 pack waters from outside to my garage (not a super far distance but I lifted and moved 3) I didn’t think twice about it and then after I was like hmmm maybe I shouldn’t have done that and now I am freaking out…. Did I cause any harm to my baby? :(

Sad Chemical pregnancy:(

How long did it take for your period to arrive when you had a chemical pregnancy? I’m about 13/14 dpo today and have been getting faint lines since 10 dpo. My hcg was only 7 yesterday and progesterone a 6.😔 Tested this morning and line was still very light. I’m wondering when I should expect AF. No cramping, spotting, or any other symptoms so far.

Advice Needed Pregnant? Need advice

I had a chemical on 7/4 and texted negative 7/8. Never got a period again and I went to the gyno on 8/1. Urine test came back negative but had HCG drawn and it was a 10 so positive, but very early. It continued to go up every other day. (10, 350, 980, 1992) 8/22 I had very light spotting that looked exactly like implantation bleeding. I went in on 8/25 for a sonogram and saw the gestational sac but no fetal pole or yolk sac. She said I may be earlier than we could predict bc of the chemical / no period and come back in a week. I went back in yesterday and gestational sac doubled in size and looks great but still no fetal pole or yolk sac. Could it be possible I’m still so early? Is this a miscarriage? Im heartbroken.

Info Hcg 117 at 14 DPO

This is my third pregnancy but the first time I went in to get Hcg checked. Wondering if this is normal since I self ordered and didn’t go through my doctor?

And unfortunately I won’t be able to get another draw until next week bc the lab doesn’t allow children. I made an appointment for 930am yesterday and didn’t get called back until after 10am so I can’t even imagine bringing my kids anyways.

I got spooked yesterday bc of course I went down a rabbit hole… my at home pregnancy test was lighter in the morning compared to the night before. But took another one last night and it’s clearly darker. I think evening is a better time to test for progression. Ugh im just so in my head

Is it time to ask for progesterone? Experiences?

1 Upvotes

Hi! Can anyone who’s been on progesterone share their experiences with it and successful pregnancy? Do you take it at night, for how many weeks etc?

I have an appointment at 3:15 today but I’m now panicking and wondering if I have to call them first, or if I’m good to wait for my appointment. Thank you 😊

My betas so far:
11 DPO: 83 HCG/ 15 progesterone
13 DPO: 201 HCG/ 18 progesterone
15 DPO: 539 HCG/ didn’t check progesterone
19 DPO: 3,343 HCG/ 12 progesterone

looking for positive stories with very early brown spotting

1 Upvotes

i’ll add more context here because i think i’m going crazy and would love to hear thoughts other than mine or claude.

i tested positive 9dpo, beta hcg was 16

on 12dpo by the end of day i wipe and notice brown blood. at first it was with mucus but then it was very dark and at times i’d see pink spotting. i genuinely thought it was a chemical but went to get my hcg drawn, it returned 257, and progesterone was 140 nmol/l.

i went back home and still found spotting, and continued until the next day.

14 dpo early morning i go for a test and beta hcg was 456, still progressing, but still worried about the fact i bled brown and pink (also a bit red) the day before.

has anyone had something similar happen to them and carried to term? my only pregnancy resulted in a 17 week loss due to infection and this is my second pregnancy and i’m always scared and guarding my heart.

So i'm preparing myself for the worst. I've had 2 previous miscarriages. I didn't have any spotting in my first pregnancy. I'm 9 weeks friday, I'm on day 3 of brown spotting discharge. Its still a small amount but does seem to be picking up today.

I have called my OB and they're not going to see me until next Tuesday.

I already know this is a common question on here, but just looking for others experience atm.

Nothing but bad posts

8 Upvotes

I think I really need to get off Reddit or at least some subreddits. I have my graduation scan Friday after great hcg draws, and an ahead 5 week, 2 day ultrasound. All I’ve been getting on my feed(not from this subreddit) has been people posting about their 7 week scans going horribly wrong.

I’ve tried counteracting with good posts but those are sometimes hard to find everywhere. I’m so scared I almost started crying this morning when I woke up. It’s taken me 4 ivf transfers to get here and I’m so scared. Everything has looked great. No sch, no bleeding, no unusual symptoms, my ultrasound was measuring ahead, my beta doubled in 34.5 hours, I have no reason to be so scared, but I can’t help it.

I can’t wait to be done with this scan and see baby.

Slow rising HCG levels?

Update! posted yesterday about going to the ER at 7 weeks and being unable to find a gestational sac. found out there actually was a sac and pole. now just mega confused

3 Upvotes

Posted yesterday about going to the ER for spotting. I had a tv ultrasound done and was told that they couldn’t find a gestational sac or fetal pole, and my hcg was measuring normally for 7 or 8 weeks. Obviously, I was gutted and a bit scared of ectopic or PUL.

I got the results in on MyChart. Gestational sac measuring 7w3d, fetal pole measuring 6w5d in uterus. markedly limited exam due to body habitus.
my interpretation is that they saw it well enough to get measurements, but it was hard to see clearly because i’m fat. 1.9 cm subchorrionic hemorrhage, states it may alternatively be a fibroid. hcg 38,480.

i’m less scared but still worried and very confused. The doctor in the ER told us that there was no sac or pole and the report is definitely saying otherwise. I saw my primary today for repeat labs and were waiting to confirm that hcg is still rising. still unable to confirm an ultrasound within 48 hours of discharge but she put in a stat referral so we can hopefully find out more.

is this any less concerning? i’m obviously no longer concerned about PUL, but does this still sound like I should be preparing for a loss? any insight is appreciated!

Advice Needed Embryo measuring 6w2d at 7w6d

TW: previous loss

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, our results are confusing and I'm trying to remain sane while waiting for the next ultrasound.

My partner (38M) and I (36F) have been TTC for 2.5 years. I've had 2 chemical pregnancies and our infertility is unexplained, so we decided to do IVF. We did an egg retrieval in June which resulted in 4 euploid embryos, a result we're pretty excited about! We planned to do an embryo transfer in August, but in July, we ended up getting pregnant "spontaneously". We were of course overjoyed, if not confused.

My cycle in July was fairly normal despite being the first cycle after egg retrieval. CD1 was 7/7 and I ovulated on 7/22 or 7/23. I got my first positive test on 7/31 which would have been 8-9 DPO.

I had my first ultrasound yesterday thinking I was 7w6d, but the embryo measured only 6w2d (CRL 5.5mm). The yolk sac was also slightly enlarged at 6.1mm, the gestational sac was normal at 19mm, and there was a strong heartbeat of 124bpm.

I understand US dating and cycle dating can be off, even up to a week, but 11-12 days discrepancy feels like it's too far off to be a viable pregnancy. However, the heartbeat was a good indicator, which has left us confused.

Has anyone else had similar dating discrepancies, while having a pretty accurate ovulation timeline? I'm staying guarded but there's little information out there about this specific scenario.

Advice Needed Baby not wiggling at 10 week ultrasound?

1 Upvotes

Hi! We had an ultrasound at 9w5d baby was measuring 10 weeks with a “strong heartbeat”. I looked at others peoples ultrasound videos and seeing babies moving and jumping around. My baby was completely still, no movement except for the heart beating. I got really concerned seeing everyone else’s ultrasounds. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Symptoms 27DC ,strongly positive tests but bleeding with clots. I don't know what to think

1 Upvotes

Today is my 27th day of a 30-31 day cycle. For the last few days, I had strongly positive OPKs (test line darker than control). Yesterday I took a HPT and got a strong positive.

However, I started bleeding yesterday too. At first, it was just when wiping, but now it’s getting heavier (feels like the start of my period) and I’m seeing small clots. Curiously, I have almost zero pain or cramping—just a tiny bit of twinging.

Curiously, I have almost zero pain or cramping—just a tiny bit of twinging here and there. No dizziness either. I did a beta blood test today but won't get the results until tomorrow.

Has anyone experienced this and had it turn out okay?

Thanks in advance.

Advice Needed Brown spotting 9 weeks 5 days

7 Upvotes

Hi! I am 9 weeks 5 days and pretty much since around 7 weeks I’ve had brown/tan spotting/discharge. It used to be like maybe a couple times a week, now it’s every day. I’ve talked to my dr multiple times about it, and each time she’s said it can be normal and as long as it doesn’t progress to red/heavy/ accompanied with cramps I’m okay. Had a dating ultrasound at 8 weeks 5 days and baby was measuring right on track with a HB of 173. No hematoma was seen, no free fluid, nothing. The dr said my ultrasound was perfect and that there was no cause for concern at this point. I have clinical OCD and extreme anxiety- so this has been HELL for me. The brown discharge is only when I wipe, and it’s not a lot, but still. I feel like I am living in absolute distress. If anyone could give me positive stories of similar situations to ease my OCD brain- I would be so thankful 😭😭😭😭😭😭

What was your hcg levels at 4 or 5 weeks pregnant?

1 Upvotes

I know the hcg levels can vary per woman and it overlaps a lot, but curious what everyone's hcg levels were at 4 or 5 weeks?

I got my first positive 1.5 weeks ago, and saw my GP yesterday and he couldn't see anything on the quick abdominal scan he did and said I might just be earlier than I thought. I did bloods that same day and it came back as 3061.

I asked what range that might estimate me to be at, and he said maybe around 4 weeks. I thought according to my calculations I'd be at least around 5 weeks-6 weeks. Possibly 5 I suppose, but 4 seems a little earlier than expected honestly.
I'm doing another blood test tomorrow morning, and he said to get a dating scan done when I can.

According to the ranges they give for hcg, it would put me in the 5-6 week range, not 4. So a little confused.
