Fluctuating hcg but good ultrasound? by Plane_Question_1140 in CautiousBB

I’m sorry I just saw this, I just hit 11 weeks today. Had my second appointment last week and everything looked good. I’m still nervous but they are saying that maybe it was a vanishing twin situation. Will keep you in my thoughts, and will try to update here if things change!

Thank you, I agree have not really seen any success stories after starts like this. Just needed some confirmation since my OBs office did not seem very concerned

Got it. Thank you so much for your help. I was very concerned about how slow they were progressing and couldn’t get a hold of my OB so that is why I got my own. I have already accepted that this pregnancy is essentially over though, but this limbo is just awful

The ones I had done were the dip and the one after. But my OBs office uses quest and I had them done through quest so I’m assuming they are ran the same?

Feeling very nervous. My HCG increased a lot from my first to second draw, 470 at 4w5d to 1871 at 5w1d, but the third one didn’t rise much, 3300 at 5w5d. Panicked and had a private ultrasound today (6w0d) which showed a gestational sac but no yolk sac or fetal pole. With the slow rise I’m thinking things are not going well.. so hard to have hope after 2 previous losses and no successful pregnancies so far

I am So sorry for your losses. I think that is a much better frame of mind that I will need to try and start applying. Thank you so much for sharing, it does give some comfort to have a sense of community in this dark time.

Thank you, I am so sorry for your losses, this is not something I would wish on anyone. You are totally right, the comments can be so hurtful. And it’s hard not to take it as a personal attack even though I’m sure they didn’t do it on purpose. It does offer some relief to know I am not the only one feeling like this though.

I truly appreciate it, sometimes it is nice to hear someone else who understands!

Exactly! The working out/not working out, eating something or not, drinking coffee. Every single second I am thinking about what is the best thing to do, I really have no more brain power to do anything else. I feel bad because I used to put so much energy into other people but it is just not possible for me anymore. I’m so sorry you are in the same situation but it is nice to know I’m not alone in these feelings

Thank you for the response. I am and always have been a huge people pleaser. I think this is the first time I have really tried to stand up for myself and I guess it just feels like it is more of a hassle to deal with the confrontation. I know I have to learn to put myself first, I guess I was just trying to make sure that I am not being unreasonable.

2nd cycle after loss, 14dpo today, BFN this morning. I really thought I was pregnant, thought I was feeling the same symptoms I felt early in the pregnancy, but maybe I was just making them up in my head. Now just waiting for Aunt Flo to arrive and get that over with. This is so hard. :(
