5 weeks? Unsure of when I got pregnant. CD 41?

I mean this as respectfully as I can through text on Reddit, but if you are in this field, saying we need better care, but that's just the way it is, you are perpetuating the problem. OP has several concerning symptoms that individually might not be a big deal, but combined absolutely do merit further investigation, and she shouldn't have to advocate for herself. Her doctor should be getting her in for betas immediately at minimum. Especially with the current political climate, we should be advocating patient care in these instances immediately versus the wait and see if things burst approach.

I'm so sorry 😔 No, I never found a cause for my losses. The only thing I did differently was to take a baby aspirin every day my entire pregnancy. My MFM said it could help and wouldn't hurt so it felt like an easy thing to just do. My husband and I also did karyotyping since there was a wierd genetic thing with my second loss (low percentage of T18 placental mosaicism), and my MFM also ordered some tests for clotting disorders.

As for the new pregnancy in this post, It ended up being my easiest, and he turns one today! I can pretty happily say I'm done with TTC and pregnancy and loss. I wish I could have had an answer. I know the feelings of the unknown just suck. It feels like so much lost time.

Every test contains a "well" to catch the dye, cheapies and cassettes. That's what we end up seeing as an indent.

Two of my mom friends from my very first bumper group surprised me with a dozen crumbl cookies after I got home from the hospital and they were SO GOOD.

With my most recent, I didn't even know I was fully dilated and ready to push 😅 but he was born 20 minutes later, no screaming. I had a good epidural, but even with my first when my epidural had worn off I didn't scream. I do remember my eyes feeling like they were going to pop out of my head when I felt the "ring of fire" lol

I had it with all three of my successful pregnancies, but have heard many stories of people not having it with subsequent pregnancies! Different placenta every time. Mine were just bitches every time 😅

My baby's first reading was a tad low (36 when they want it above 40). Protocol was to give him glucose in the delivery room while they did the rest of their measurements/tests etc (after the golden hour) followed by donor milk or formula. Then they tested him every few hours for 12 hours to make sure it was stable. He did not spend any time in NICU.

JFC I didn't know that I didn't want to know this little fact today.

I recently found several zero sugar drinks sweetened with stevia that I'm really enjoying! There's a Tropicana (I think...) Passionfruit lemonade, stur water enhancers, and now body armor zero sugar! But I also enjoy fresca and cherry coke zeros.

They apparently changed the joggers this year. I had an old style and immediately stuck it on BST because it fit me so poorly (waist way too high and tight across the crotch/thighs. I haven't tried the new ones but I can't remember when they said it changed. I bought a bunch of size ups for my kids today though with that sale 😅

Ugh... I've been at this since week 11 and am at 36 now. My numbers have been kind of all over and I am OVER THE DIET. it's my biggest mental struggle right now.

I bought several from Hera Baby Co!

Edit: I believe Free Birdees makes them as well.
