Hello to all,
I have a second U/S on thurs but am really having trouble knowing what frame of mind to be in. Does anyone have any advice for what I should be expecting?
Last AF 7/25 HPT faint 8/21 HCG 8/23 50 9/3 - 9/7 moderate bleeding (less than a period) HCG 9/6 1677 HCG 9/9 3576 progesterone (first dosage) 3 started vaginal progesterone HCG 9/15 5678 Pro 9 first U/S showing a 5wk3d sac with no fetal pole
Should I start greiving now or is there a chance that this is a viable pregnancy?
Thank you for your advice and support,
FrLtnWoman

FrLtnWoman I have seen other women get a heartbeat on a 2nd u/s, but I see that your hcg hasn't really doubled within 48 but has within 72 hrs so there is always a chance. I am sorry that you are going through this. Please keep us posted on your u/s and how you are doing. www.ivfer.com/hcg.htm is a good place to look at your hcg levels. With an u/s at 5w 3 days they cannot always see everything. Now your hcg levels look like they are doubling in more than the 72-96 hours. Take care

Thank you for your response. I thought it was strange that I had to evoke the idea of a B/O to my OBGYN. He at first had said that there was probably a problem with dates. I am sure about my LMP which would mean that something funky happened with ovulation or implantation.
Thank you for your HCG site. I did see that a low first HCG was not a good sign. Right now, I'm really just want to know.
Thank you for your support,
J

Hello to all,
Just wanted to tell you the end of the story. I went in this morning and there was no change from the last U/S. I am still showing a 5wk empty sac and am now at 9wks.
It took me awhile to get used to the idea of having another baby and I am sure that it is going to take time to accept that I will not. I haved decided to wait for natural miscarrage as I feel that this is the best way to give myself time to say "goodbye".
This little life did exist - it became bigger each time that I talked to someone else about being pregnant. For me that is the real definition of life - belonging to a bigger community, not heart rate or egg sac size. I was the first one to know and at that moment a tiny life appeared. When I told my husband it got a bit bigger. As the ripple spread, this life took on meaning. This is why I will greive.
Thank you for your support.

I can say you put that very well. It does get bigger w/ everyone that is told and that is exactly how I felt but the words never could explain it.
Please know that we are here and Take care

((((HUGS)))) I'm sorry to hear. Great explanation, it really does say it well. I have had a hard time figuring out how this became so real, and it is exactly how you said it. I am in about the same position as you, but my 2nd u/s is on Monday.
Take care...
