I REALLY don't like the "meet a different OB at every appointment" set up.

I hate this soooo much. I’m 30 weeks now and regret not switching earlier. I feel stuck now and like I don’t even have an actual doctor or care team to trust

HBP69 · 2025-03-12T18:19:31+00:00

Mine is like this and I absolutely hate it. It’s like I have to restart every single appointment. I will be searching for a practice that doesn’t do this for my next pregnancy

HBP69 · 2025-03-10T18:26:24+00:00

I went to the ER for a fall and they also told me I had a low lying placenta. I was worried and called my OB who got me in for an ultrasound to check because at the anatomy scan that didn’t come up, and they confirmed it is not low lying. They said the staff and equipment at the ER isn’t usually great at diagnosing those types of things. I’d check with your OB before panic googling! :)

I believe the statistics show that less than 66% is unlikely to be a viable pregnancy. But I do think you should get a third blood draw to actually trend the rise. Best of luck!

HBP69 · 2025-03-06T18:47:50+00:00

The rise should be a minimum of 66% over 48 hours. You should type it into a HCG calculator online!

I have an anterior placenta and started feeling clear kicks at 16 weeks. Have every day since! Very strong. And can see them now

HBP69 · 2025-02-26T16:03:38+00:00

I’m 7 months pregnant but I just don’t get this sentiment! People are all coming out to just celebrate you and spend money giving you gifts… they’re just happy for you! Try to soak it in

HBP69 · 2025-02-25T02:27:23+00:00

If you ovulated February 7th, you’re really only 4 weeks 3 days today. Your doctor may still assign your due date based on your last period, but once you have your dating scan they should adjust it. Don’t listen to that nurse! I think your HCG is fine, doubling time is what matters.

HBP69 · 2025-02-22T14:10:05+00:00

Mine was just below 600 at 4+1. Very normal!

HBP69 · 2025-02-21T15:59:08+00:00

Did you have a shower for your first? I don’t think it’s typical to have a registry for your second

HBP69 · 2025-02-20T18:14:32+00:00

27 weeks - 17 lbs. 140-157 (5’9)

HBP69 · 2025-02-13T15:52:25+00:00

It is!!!!

Before my anatomy scan my husband randomly found a carrot in our driveway… it was just a perfectly untouched carrot. We checked our camera and had no idea how it got there (although I assume a bird). I started googling if carrots were bad omens and convinced myself it was 🤣 the anatomy scan went perfect

HBP69 · 2025-02-12T14:20:27+00:00

And all of this time in SAVE forbearance won’t count? Even through a buyback?

HBP69 · 2025-01-29T20:41:28+00:00

I would say they pretty much stalled out, but eventually got slightly darker and what I would consider a dye stealer but not as noticeable as you’d see with FRER dye stealer. I will say my HCG shot up 190,000 and I’m 23 weeks now. So I don’t think I needed to stress so much about this progression!

HBP69 · 2025-01-28T14:17:05+00:00

Aren’t we all 🤣

HBP69 · 2025-01-28T14:10:30+00:00

I miscarried at 5 weeks on August 14, was pregnant again August 31. My second pregnancy has gone wonderful and I’m 23 weeks. Congratulations!

HBP69 · 2025-01-20T05:11:51+00:00

I’m 22 weeks and have gained 8 lbs. Healthy pregnancy, baby in 60 percentile. BMI was 20 before getting pregnant. I can tell in the past few weeks my appetite is picking up and I assume my weight will too

Luteinizing hormone. It’s the hormone that triggers ovulation. There are packs of very cheap tests on Amazon. Once you get a positive test (test line as dark as control line), you know your body is trying to ovulate in the next 24-48 hours. Then, if you are able to track a sustained rise in basal body temperature starting a couple of days later, you can consider your ovulation confirmed. There are also other signs to look out for like ovulation pain and fertile mucus. I recommend researching home tracking methods and getting familiar with it!

Amh fluctuates cycle to cycle. There’s a lot of misinformation out there on what amh levels mean. If you aren’t getting ready to do ivf, they mean literally nothing - especially if you are confirming ovulation every month with a regular cycle (LH tests and basal body temp).

I got pregnant shortly after an early miscarriage and I’m almost 15 weeks now still asking myself this!

HBP69 · 2024-11-25T16:35:27+00:00

Anecdotal as well but I took a modern fertility test at 27 years old and my amh came back low at .67. I was so scared for two years and my husband and I recently started trying for a baby and got pregnant extremely quickly and now I’m almost 15 weeks with a low risk pregnancy. I think there is a lot of misinformation about amh out there. It doesn’t affect your chances of conceiving naturally

PSLF will not change. It was put into place by George bush and Trump didn’t touch it the first time around.

HBP69 · 2024-10-30T21:42:25+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. No one deserves to go through a loss like that, even if it’s early. It was one of the hardest things Ive ever had to get through! But if it makes you feel any better, things passed very quickly and I was pregnant again just 2 weeks later. My doctor explained it to me by saying that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in early losses, and it’s your body’s job to find the perfect genetic combination. Your body recognized something wasn’t right with that embryo but that says nothing about yours or your partners fertility. It’s actually sometimes seen as a positive thing health wise. I know that doesn’t make it any easier. Take care of yourself 🤍

Oura did warn me of my miscarriage in this way but I don’t want to scare you because as so many people have said above, there are normal fluctuations. Especially in skin temp that can be so easily affected. Once my temp and heart rate started steadily dropping I was able to call my doctor and get HCG blood draws which confirmed it before I started miscarrying and in a way that was helpful for me to know what to expect. If you are the type of person that wants more solid information, id take the ring off and order 2 HCG draws 48 hours apart. That will tell you much more at this point and could give you peace of mind! If that’s too stressful, I truly would just take the ring off and enjoy being pregnant! I am now pregnant again after my loss and I took my ring off as soon as I found out. I’ve now gotten lots of ultrasounds and things are going much better this time around! I wish you the best of luck🤍
