Okay, no matter how much I want to deny my symptoms I have to admit that they are getting worse. The main symptoms are that I feel really warm down there. I only get that feeling when I am pregnant. I also have had sore bbs and I never get sore bbs (not even for AF). I always thought it wasn't possible because my bbs are so big LOL but with my last pregnancy I had sore bbs too. I am nauseous and today I am so completely exhausted. I did only have 7 hours of sleep last night and 6 hours the night before but I am ususally okay with that or even less. Today I can barely lift my arms and keep my eyes open. I just put Naden down for a nap and I am going to take one too even though I really need to prepare my house for my neighbors baby shower this weekend. I guess I can do it tonight...

So the reason I need suggestions is because I am not sure what to do. I never went back last week for follow up bloodwork to verify my levels were back down to 0. I can go in anytime but I thought that since I now suspect that I am pregnant that maybe I should give it until next Monday so that way I'll have a better chance of the numbers being high enough. I just don't want to raise a flag to the doc yet so I thought I could sort of find out on my own. I have 2 blood draws that have been ordered but if this next one is less than 5 than I won't be going back in for more. If it is above 5 than I am supposed to go back in in 1 week to verify they are still dropping and at that point I figured I'd know if they were going up. Although I personally feel that all the numbers dropped to 0 (they did with my first m/c very quickly and the 2 m/c were almost identical) I will have doubt if I take a pregnancy test and I see two lines because officially no one has told me that I was at 0 HCG. I am just confused and scared right now. I guess I'll have no doubt in a week if these symptoms still persist or if I start getting really sharp pain in my bbs like my last pregnancy. Ugh, I don't know what to do. I am rambling now so I'll stop. I am going to take a nap...

I hope this is good news. Maybe you should try a HPT at then maybe you will know if your symptoms are from hormones or soemthing else.

[MaMaTuTu]

when did you suspect you O'd? I guess that would help determine when to go get the blood draw. Crossing my fingers for ya!

[Danica]

So much for a nap. I can't get to sleep. I just am laying here, body exhausted but mind going a mile a minute. I have a meeting at in 40 mins anyway and am concerned I may oversleep so maybe it's best that I just lay here on the couch but not fall asleep.

I don't know when I ovulated. I think I might have on Saturday but then I had EWCM on Monday so I have no idea. I wasn't using OPK's or temping.

I guess I'll buy some hpt's but I don't really want to because if I get a positive I'll get my hopes up and it may just be lingering hcg from the m/c. I sure wish I had some laying around the house but I've looked in all the drawers and can't find any. I am sure when I am not looking I'll find one. I hide them all about the house LOL

Maybe I am just catching ths stomach virus that is going around...?

I don't really want to get my hopes up. If I'm not I'll be disappointed but also relieved, KWIM?

[keekopeeko]

ooooooh... hmm.. i know this could be a bad thing..to get pregnant right away.. but i am TOTALLY STOKED that you might be! because then we would be in the SAME DDC again!!!!

I don't really have any words of wisdom, but just wanted to let you know I'll be thinking about you. It's bad enough to have symptoms and want to test, but knowing that it could potentially give a false positive stinks. If your symptoms are still around in a week or so, it might be a good sign!

[greenchild]

you could always try the HPT's spaced a couple days apart to see if they get darker or lighter. But my AF symptoms totally changed after my losses. With the first, the only thing that really changed was that my bbs hurt from O to AF, and they NEVER used to hurt before unless I consumed something caffienated in the 1st 1/2 of my cycle. Then after the 2nd loss, every month was pg sypmtoms.

Hope you get some good sleep soon!!!

First, let me say that I HOPE you're preggers again!!!

Second, I agree with you -- wait until Monday and go in to get the blood drawn. If it's higher than 5, then you go back. I know the easier thing to do is get a HPT and take it, but, like you said, if the hCG hasn't completely dropped from Skyla, then, you won't really know. Does that make sense??

Danica,
I would go back in for the blood draw...if they are 0 then you know for sure. If there is still hcg from the m/c and you go for the 2nd draw you are suppose to have, and the number has gone up you know you are pregnant. HPTs are pretty unreliable at this point because you don't know for sure if you ever went back down to 0. Do you know what your last levels were? I would go today or tomorrow and then again on Monday...either way you will know that there will be an answer with in a few days. And if your doctor has an issue he will have to get over it. That's just my opinion though.

I agree. I'd go Monday and get my blood drawn to know for sure.

[Danica]

Thanks girls. I think that I'll do a combo of all your suggestions. I can't make it in today or tomorrow because I am going to be too busy with getting things ready for the party on Saturday so I'll buy some dollar store tests to see if I even get a positive and if I do I'll test again in a few days. I'll also go in Monday for the blood draw since eiher way I need to make it in and if there is a number higher than 5 I'll go back later in the week or maybe at that point I'll go back on Wednesday because I have my fertility appt on 2/14 and I don't want them to do anything that could cause harm if I am so it would be good to know prior to.

Maybe your right Anne, maybe my body is just going to behave differently after 2 m/c's. I guess time will tell. UGH

My last hcg draw was on 1/23 at I was at 1,323. I started bleeding on 1/19 and passed the complete sac on 1/22. I had an u/s on 1/25 and they did verify that all tissue was passed.

Hey Danica! It would be awesome if you were pregnant again. Looking at your dates, you would be very early if you ovulated early. What is your normal ovulation day?

[valentinemommy]

Danica, I totally understand why you are worried, but I am very happy for you at the same time. It is possible. I Oed 10 days after my m/c was complete. That was 4 days early for me. Then again, your body may have just changed on you. I think it sounds very promising. I hear stories all the time of women getting pg immediately after m/c. It should be alright since you didn't need d/c. I hope all goes well. Lia
