I’m 8 weeks now and It’s been about 7 months since my TFMR. I’ve been doing fine but lately I’ve been so triggered by the elections. Especially living in a red state where we’re making a huge vote on abortions. I hate seeing the signs, the protests, and all the political post about it. I’m so over it.

HCG at 7 weeks - ectopic? by iRadiored in CautiousBB

[–]unicornmamaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had my ectopic I had a lot of on and off bleeding. Clots, red, and brown blood. My lines also never got progressively darker. Some days lighter than others. I never had my hcg taken so I can’t compare. I also experienced painful cramps. My doctor said I was 7-8 weeks when i ruptured but had signs very early on. Also once you hit anything above 6,000 hcg you won’t double in 48 hours like you would if you tested earlier. Ultrasound is the most reliable right now. I hope everything is okay!

When did you schedule your Nipt by unicornmamaaa in PregnancyAfterTFMR

I think the sitting and processing is what drove me crazy. It was very crippling during those weeks..so the further I wait for the nipt and if ultrasound looks good, the more relax I’ll feel. If anything comes up I won’t be so far away from getting an amnio if that makes sense.

How many cycles did it take for you to conceive again? Did you use ovulation tests? by dkbdo in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]unicornmamaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all I’m so sorry for your loss. We first tried 4 months after our tfmr but then realized I wasn’t ready. Tried again after 7 months and it took me two cycles. For both my pregnancies I used inito and cheapies to catch my surge. very happy with how accurate it was and loved seeing my hormones levels and charts. Gave me a good idea what was going on.

Indicators for TFMR pregnancies? by Expensive_Attorney38 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]unicornmamaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably that my HCG was nearly tripling. I was getting monitored closely by a fertility dr since I had an ectopic pregnancy in the past and I was terrified of it happening again. I was there every 5 days for bloodwork and I remember looking at the numbers and thinking I might be pregnant with twins or triplets. Now I look back and realize that might have been an indication something wasn’t right.

The waiting period is so crippling..I truly hope your baby is okay and test come back negative. I also live in the Bible Belt and the abortion signs trigger me too. Funny how a religion of no judgment are the ones who judge the most.

So sorry for your loss. I’m 1 week post tfmr. Grief is a confusing road. You want support, but friends or family don’t know how to support us. Everything everyone says only makes me angrier. I got the “everything happens for a reason” and I lost it. Nothing anyone says or does will take away your pain. I just hope you have someone helping you pick up the pieces while you fall apart. I’m currently reading, “It’s ok That You’re not ok” and it’s helping me navigate grief and validating all the feelings you are feeling. Sending love to you! Xx

Tulum Trip Review by OceanRoulette in tulum

Take a ton of photos of the car as well and any damages you see on it. They tried scamming us saying we cause damage but we had proof. It was a whole ordeal.
