Can I have this baby??

October 02, 2008

I am 28, had a m/c July 21st and otherwise in good health.

I have a question about HCG numbers. Here are my numbers: 10dpo=4, 12dpo=20, 13dpo=29 (different lab), 15dpo=63(back to the same lab as the first), & 19dpo=95. I am really really concerned. Obviously my last numbers didn't double. Can this still be a viable pregnancy if my numbers are doubling too slowly?? I am now 26dpo and we decided not to do any more beta numbers because they are just too stressful and we can't change anything. I have had no cramping, no bleeding, no spotting, etc. Is it possible for this pregnancy to produce a healthy baby???? Statistically, what are my chances of having a healthy baby?

are you getting your hcg levels checked again?

good luck! hang in there and i hope it sticks...

No, its too stressful and I can't change what the numbers are. Dh doesn't want the added stress. I agreed until today when I had a slight panic. Can these numbers even produce a viable pregnancy? We have an u/s scheduled for next Friday.

It's too hard to know if this pregnancy will be viable or not based only on those numbers, the u/s will tell you, or show you for sure if everything is progressing as it should be. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thinking of you Holly! So many prayers that next friday you will see a sac! hugs and thoughts!

Looks like an increase of >66% and no need to give up

But it only went up 23% - it was over 4 days:(

Sorry, didn't see the 19dpo value, and yes, this significies most likely an abnormal pregnancy...either a chemical or ectopic..

If you're in significant pain, best to immediately seek medical help to r/o ectopic

So there is no chance of a healthy baby?? i have no pain and no bleeding

:(

Hang in there, highly unlikely..

Always think positive, and know that conception can occur

Hey Holly. I've been following you since your BFP> I'm sorry this has happened. I hope you bet the odds. I think you should stay strong as possible and don't give up. Wait it out. Rest as much as possible. Ask for an ultrasound and found out where baby is.

Thanks Sar and Ash. This is so so so so hard. I have to wait until Friday to get my first u/s. I am seriously betting that the Dr. won't see anything and I will have to wait another week or two to know for sure:( It is so hard. DH and I were supposed to be at a party today and I just can't go. I feel like everywhere I go there are pregnant people, or babies, or the like. I just hate this. I hate thinking there is a dead baby in me. I just want it out if its not going to live:( Thanks for the prayers - we need all we can get!!!

October 04, 2008

I know Holly. I hate going out too all I see is babies or preggo women too. But you think about it most of these women did go through some of the same things we are dealing with to get where they are. My co worker was 7 months this week and found out her baby died a month ago. She is taking it hard. This is her second loss and still no kids. You will get through this. It takes some time and love to make it. Always love your baby no matter what happens and stay as positive as possible. God Bless hun.

Ash, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend at work. I cannot imagine the devastation of losing a baby after you've been carrying it and bonding with it for so long. I hope she's okay.

October 05, 2008

Thanks Sar,

I think it's going to take her some time to get back to herself. I had no idea so many women had problems keeping their little ones safe inside. I hope Holly's baby is ok. Against all the odds I pray they make it ok in the end. Only god knows what will come of this. God Bless Holly.

October 05, 2008

I agree, I hope Holly and her little one will be okay and sending her loads of

Thinking of you Holly!

Thanks Fran. Still nothing. No bleeding, no spotting, nothing. All of my pregnancy symptoms are gone. bbs don't hurt at all and I am just tired - but that's probably depression.

I am sure I will need a D&C or if its ectopic the abortion medication. Dr's are so heartless - don't they know that this is my BABY???!!!!??!?!?!

October 06, 2008

I was able to move my appt up to 2:40 today. Send your prayers please!!! I feel like I am awaiting my death sentence.

October 06, 2008

im so wanting this to be ok for you!

I know how you feel, just went thru it myself. The reason i didnt bleed is cuz i had a cyst that was tricking my body into thinking that the baby was still ok. I had to take the pills that they put up inside you to force the m/c cuz my body wouldnt do it alone :(

I went for my last u/s in week 7 and didnt have them insert the pills until week 10 after another u/s.

Im so sorry you are going thru this - i totally feel for you :(

October 06, 2008

Holly, I hope everything is ok for you!

October 06, 2008

Thanks Chels - its so so hard. Why did you have them wait?? In case you didn't actually miscarry??? Its so so hard - I just want it out of me:( I don't know what I am going to do. Were your hcg counts good??? How did you know that it was a cyst? Did they know only by u/s or was there other clues???

Thanks - I am so sorry you had to go through this too - I wish this on no one.
