Hi Ladies,

Well my temp keeps climbing...which I want to take that as a good sign. I know I said this yesterday...but I am still so incredibly nervous that it's only because of the progesterone and that because I decided to start the progesterone it's only preventing the inevitable. My DH keeps telling me to be patient and we will know Monday but OMG I have no patience for this. I am so tired too and still getting the on & off cramps. I keep praying that Monday we will get high numbers and find out I was just getting a slow start to pregnancy but I keep hearing my RN's word saying she doesn't think the progesterone will help and then apologized because she believed I was going to have a MC. And then hearing her say it's abnormal. Which then makes me concerned that if this does decide to take am I going to have an abnormal baby with special needs? I know I will love my baby no matter what and I know that's a concern every parent has but am I doing it to myself because I am trying to save the baby by taking Progesterone? OMG so many thoughts going through my head. I still have a few days to see what happens but AHHHHH the wait is driving me bonkers.

lele79: I see it! I pray it's a sticky bean for you!

Starting to cramps and spotting

Well, I finally made it home from work. Driving an hour with cramps and terrified of the bleeding while driving simply sucks! But yet, still not bleeding a lot, but the cramps are pretty bad with bad BM's. Guess it's a waiting game still.

Well, bleeding has slowed down and isn't heavy. Cramps are now minimal and I haven't passed any tissue. I don't think I have had the MC yet. I wish my body would decide what it wants to do.

FX'd it ends up being just a fluke but I have a bad feeling it's not. This could end up being a very long weekend.

That is just horrible Lolo. Is there. any way the DR. Can get you in and give you some answerer,,,, no one should have to waite to find out. I would call them and see if they could see you before the weekend.

I retested and it came back with a noticeable faint line. So excited

Hi Ladies,

I have no idea what is going on with my body. Temps rise then fall, bleeding has pretty much stopped with the exception of weird looking spotting...almost like a tinge of brown. Boobs still hurt occasionally, I have been lightheaded, not that hungry, and been having some very slight headaches. It almost feels like I am fighting a cold without the cold...not sure if that makes sense or not. I have also been having frequent urination.

Thursday was the worst. I got up that morning feeling fine, if anything, feeling pretty positive. I even took another test that morning and it looked just like the one I took on Sunday...so sadly not darker but I read somewhere not to let that bother you so much. So I went to work. I started to feel some cramping nothing to bad but enough to get me to go to the bathroom for the upteenth time...lol. That's when I noticed I started bleeding. So all I said to my brother was that I suddenly don't feel well and I had to go home. Sent my dad a text that I had to go home because I suddenly didn't feel well and left. They have no idea what is going on with me yet...it's so hard to keep these things a secret but I just didn't want everybody to know yet. So after an hour in the car trying to get home...thinking I am bleeding a lot, feeling glad I have been wearing a pad just in case...I get home to still a little bit of spotting/smudging and terrible bowel pains. Spent about an hour in & out of the bathroom with constant BM's (sorry for the TMI/visual) at one point it was a pile and when I wiped there was a fair amount of bleeding but all liquid and deep red, no tissue. So either I lost it during the BM's and didn't see it because it was mixed in the pile (again sorry for the TMI/visual) or I haven't had the MC yet. I still have slight symptoms. Is it even possible to still have symptoms if you are having or had a MC?? The rest of the day I had very light bleeding/spotting. Yesterday the spotting had some stringies in there but no tissue, not like the last mc. I am so confused on what to think. Even DH is confused, being that he's been through this twice before he says the symptoms are there but he just doesn't know what to think. Thursday was a very emotional day for me but then after that I haven't been that emotional...except when I watch something sad on TV...I don't feel like I have lost a part of myself yet and maybe that's a sign. I am still spotting but it's more like a very light brown. Monday can't come fast enough...I wish I knew what was going on and what to expect.

lele79:
so happy for you!
Sadly at this point it's just a waiting game until the numbers are high enough to give them an idea as to what is going on. I hear something good on Monday but I am not holding my breath.

Well, my temp dropped low and I took another HPT and it's barely visible. So, now it definitely looks like another early mc.
Just not sure if the tissue has come out yet or not.

Oh Lolo, I am so sorry you're going through this again. :( I don't even know what to say.

Well, it's official. My HCG level is down to a 2.3. I will fix my chart after I have talked to the nurse. Is it possible to still have HCG in your system if you still have the fetus inside you? Because as I mentioned before I don't know if I have passed the fetus tissue or not.

I guess we will wait till I have another period or 2 before we try again. 3rd times the charm right? I hope.
