I finally managed to get in touch with one of my favorite nurses to fax the labs and u/s's to this office I'm going to today... It's maternal fetal medicine place they take high rish and regular ob patients. I'm hoping to get some resolution to what has been going on.

Quick recap... found out friday July 17th I was pg, started spotting a couple days later, monday had a midwife medically confirm pg 3 days after finding out for ins purposes she said spotting totally normal. ER visit on wednesday showed possibly low levels at 178 told to have follow up bloodwork 2-3 days later. Friday had an ob visit with my old midwife and bloodwork which was 105 (not good) ER visit that night levels dropping even more in that day alone 74. By monday they were 78. Wednesday had an appt with ob doc, confirmed pregnancy loss and that things were happening normally... went into a "labor",lots of bleeding, large clots & fleshy stuff. (normal, took & had a neg hpt at that point too) I had O signs... EWCM and 2 days later O pains... week n a half had a mc follow-up on wednesday with an exam, talk and bloodwork. (Dr didn't think I O'd) Well hcg came back at 135, 2 days later hcg checked again 120 followed up with an appt on this past monday where Dr seemed to think it was from last pregnancy and not a new one (which my gut kept saying new pregnancy) Had an u/s he went over the one from ER visit showed lesion in uterus and a small simple cyst on right ovary (which further proved to me I O'd) the new u/s that day showed clear ovaries, tubes and uterus all good (would have only been approx 9-10dpo, so nothing visable) He ordered methotrexate to clean things out. They forgot to do bloodwork that day had it on tuesday, levels up again 145. Dr tied to say it was tubal pg and that levels may go up after methotrexate... whatever! I called to get a second opinion and that brings us to today...

I will post update on this post as an EDITED thingy under this! Uh, I'm nervous and hope we get some answers... at the same time what can I do at this point with the info I recieve? Very conflicted as to what to do, but I'm going anyways.

Pregnancy test still poisitive (as of last night) and darker than when I took it last week wednesday! This is even after the methotrexate on monday.Okay well I better run, have to get everyone together to go... Update soon!


QUICK UPDATE... late for work

New doctor agrees saying it's a new pregnancy.... did a urine pg test which it was +
I would only be approx 4weeks allong, but with having the methorexate it can cause abnormalities... she said it may have been early enough that it hasn't affected the new baby yet, but we did bloodwork today and going to bloodwork monday to see what my levels are doing. I'm not holding my breath because I have been bleeding. But for now I am pg... I'll further go into detail later I'm REALLY LATE for work!!! Took over 2hrs for the appt

HUGS.... good luck.. I hope you get some answers..

[mum74]

Oh wow, that must be a huge mix of emotions to know you are still pregnant but that the methorexate can cause problems. How are you feeling?

[Kary♥RN]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your new little bean... HUGS

Gosh.. what a whirlwind.. I'm so sorry.
Let us know if there is anything we can do and of course please keep us updated!

I'm freaking scared........ sorta numb! I don't know what to expect anything at this point. Anything is possible tho and really it is out of my hands, I think God has given a little sense of peace in my heart and I think He pushed me to go today. At least I know I'm NOT crazy!!! The doctor seemed so understanding, took plenty of time to talk with me and go over pretty much everything!

But I swear it took forever, waited forever!

So, I'm going to call my new doc Dr.D.... She asked me a ton of questions and to clarify what scribble the nurse did. So I went thru the details while she had the reports in front of her.... between what I was telling her and the answers to the questions she asks concluded that this is a new pg. I'm just one of those anomalies in the population who ovulated just after miscarrying. (she said it's rare, but it DOES happen as in my case) Dr.D said that being how early I am that the metho. may not have even affected the baby yet being that it hadn't implanted yet, but the risk with it being in my system could mean abnormalities. Once the baby implants then the traces of what is in my system can cause the abnormalities, but she said some babies are very resilliant, so who knows! She sent me off for the urine test, by this time I've had at least 32oz of liquids so my urine was diluted... however it did show up +, when she came back in and told me, she then said that she wanted to run the bloodwork from her lab today and on monday to compare to see what they're doing. If they're not doing much then the methotrexate caused or will cause a mc again, if they're changing on the up slope then we're going to have to see about what options and descisions there are. Said she would want a trans vag u/s, but isn't sure she would see anything until the levels were to get at least or above 1,500 and that could be a while.

She couldn't understand WHY he would give me the methotrexate without weighing all options or waiting a while longer and continue to track my betas MORE than he had. She flat out said she would have waited... there's no rolling back the clock and she said she felt so sorry for me, but that we'll get thru it. She also said methotrexate is more for ectopic around 7-8 weeks is when it "works". Dr.D went on to say it doesn't always work and that she hopes that's the case for me...

OH the nurse running my urine pg test and that drew my bloodwork had a mc and went on to get PG BEFORE HER FIRST CYCLE!!! She kept telling me it'll be alright and then told me her story. It was amazing tho to go in for this and here there was a RN who coincidently went thru something quiet similar.

Um, ya I've had some bleeding, not heavy... it has stopped as of tonight. It wasn't nearly as heavy as my mc and no where near as heavy as my af.... wore pads constantly, but nothing ever on the pads really except for a couple spots here n there. The dr didn't seem concerned since it wasn't heavy.

So I WANT to be hopeful, I WANT good news... but I don't expect it. It's in God's hands! So I will keep y'all posted... please say a prayer for the best. Sometimes that's not always what we want, but it's what is best in His eyes

Thank you for being here!!!! GIGANTIC HUGS AND THANKS to ALL of YOU!!!
