Well, I am not doing good but trying to keep it together. My family keeps calling me and I don't want to talk to anyone. S*&t, now I'm at work and this thread made me start tearing.

I feel depressed and defeated.

The doctor did another beta draw, told me I am the most informed patient he has ever had and told me I am most likely having a chemical and don't need a DnC as I will probably just absorb whatever might have been there and to wait for my next period.

I will get the results of my fourth beta today, but I am not hopeful. I have no symptoms whatsoever, other than a slightly round belly, but I have that even when I am not pregnant in my luteal phase.

He said if my betas are up and normalish than he might try me on progesterone suppositories. And that we should look into balancing my hormones as that might be the issue.

So just another waiting game. I feel so negative and mad right now. I just want to lay in bed and eat donuts.

Hugs sweetie...I'm so sorry!

[alittlelost]

keep us posted! I'm staying hopeful for you. too bad he wouldn't start the progesterone sooner, but I don't know much about that stuff. Stay strong and try to think positive thoughts. My midwife was so sure I was gonna miscarry my daughter that at my next visit she automatically ASSUMED I was there for birth control. I told her, no, as far as I know, I'm still pregnant. And I was. So try not to feel too defeated just yet.

Oh Mindy I am so sorry. I agree that its a shame they did not start you on progesterone sooner. As you know I have been through chemicals, my latest being 5 weeks and 2 days and this was due to a LP defect and I had to have progesterone from ovulation. I truly still hope that they have got it all wrong and everything is ok and the progesterone pills you have been taking are working. xxxx

Thanks guys.

My other doctor put me on progesterone pills (100 mg) once at night daily because I begged her for it and I took it for one night and had such a bad reaction to it that I called her the next day and she told me to stop taking it. It made my lungs hurt and I felt short of breath and I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible anxiety.

But, I know I have low progesterone even when not pregnant, so maybe a cream or suppositories are better for me since there is less in your blood stream to give you side effects.

I don't know at this point. Just waiting to hear back from my doctor. I have a feeling my levels have risen but just aren't doubling like they should again because my pg tests have gotten darker.

Also, I have to mention that I had something weird happen, and maybe this is just me looking into this too much because I hate the fact that I will not have a viable pregnancy, but on the morning of 13 DPO (about 4-5 hours before getting my second beta drawn) my pg test was actually getting darker for once. It was more of a line than faint, so I was stoked. Then around 1 PM I took another pg test because I am totally obsessive and the test was so faint. And every test I took was so faint for about 24 hours and then they slowly got darker again. And they have progressively gotten darker since say late 14 dpo until now the control line is lighter than the test line, but it was really weird. What do you think that was about? Oh and I don't drink a lot of fluids so that never really affects my tests. I just don't understand why that happened.

Mindy I hope everything works out I pray that baby sticks and I miss you bunches HUGS HUGS keep us updated we love you

[Diamond2009]

I hope the tests getting darker is a good sign and that the doctor is wrong

[WorkerBeeMama]

Thanks. It is 4:30 here and still no call from them. I called the office and they closed at 3 PM

I know the doctor had surgeries all day today so I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he has the results and will call me later on this evening and let me know, but we will see.

I hate doctors.

[Lindz253]

Ugh, that is so frustrating waiting on docs. I know they have things to do but they need to understand that people are waiting anxiously and NEED to know.

I really hope your levels are just super slow to rise and everything will be fine. I just had a friend over for dinner and she told me her good friend just had her baby yesterday. Doctors told her that this pregnancy was never going to make it, then they told her the baby was going to have all these problems...and guess what?? Born yesterday totally fine! Sometimes doctors get it wrong - I hope this is the case for you.

[Aillidh]

I pray that the Doc was wrong. I'm so sorry you're going through this roller coaster.
