That's great news puffbrat!! I'm so thrilled for you! I'm sure you are taking a big sigh of relief0
-
Sadly my big sigh of relief fell by the wayside Saturday AM when the OB triage doctor called me with a slightly different interpretation of the blood work. She said Friday's hormone level came back at the absolute minimum they wanted to see. It turns out that can be sign of an ectopic pregnancy. So, they had me go into the clinic yesterday (Sunday) morning to do more blood work and another ultrasound. This time my blood work actually was good with my hcg level doubling in the last 48 hours like it is supposed to. All my other blood work was also good. Unfortunately, the ultrasound was inconclusive, so I need to go back in a week for another. As the doctor put it, we know something is in there and it's growing, we just don't know where it is.0

@puffbrat I'm sorry this is happening. I hope your next appointment gives you good news or at least answers. *HUGS*0
-
Thanks @WifiresGettingFit! It has been quite the emotional roller coaster.
On the plus side, hubby and I met my actual OB today just for a general appointment. She was not really concerned by any of the results and believes it is just a very early pregnancy. While she still wants me to do the blood work again tomorrow and ultrasound this coming weekend as directed by the other doctors, she is approaching it from more of a better safe than sorry perspective which is surprisingly comforting.0 -
@puffbrat Yay for the plus side! That's good to hear.0
-
I'm also sorry to hear that you are unsure about the pregnancy. You are in my thoughts, and I am hoping for the best outcome for you and your little bean! I'd be a wreck, and I'm sure you are too. Try and think happy thoughts though.0

How goes it everyone?0
-
I'm feeling under the weather today but otherwise everything is going good. It has been a busy couple of days so I'm also extremely tired. On the bright side, I got a Fitbit Flex 2 today as an early Christmas gift from Andrew since it was on sale and we couldn't pass it up. $30 dollars off. Andrew wanted one too so I got him one for an early Christmas gift as well.
How's everything with you @VeryKatie? When is your next appointment?0 -
@WifiresGettingFit I'm feeling under the weather too. Woke up with a cold. And stayed up too late so I'm very tired lol. So we seem to feel similar.
Otherwise, things are good. We have Chris' mom's birthday dinner tonight and we haven't bought a present yet but I put that on him lol. We're going to buy her something right before the dinner. I am going to try to get some deals on some books for his sister for Christmas also.
My next appointment is on Dec. 19. I might end up having an ultrasound before then but I have to wait to get notice of it in the mail.1 -
Aww @VeryKatie I hope you feel better soon!!
I'm glad things are good! I hope you enjoy your shopping time and family time!
December 19th feels like a long time away. haha0 -
@WifiresGettingFit I hope you feel better too! Dec. 19 does seem far away but it's hard to keep taking work off so maybe this time it's ok.0
-
@VeryKatie thank you! ☺ I'm still not a 100% yet. How are you feeling today? I can understand not wanting to miss work. I'm sure the time will go fast. I swear I blink and another month has gone by. I hope you're feeling better! ☺0

December 19 is my wedding anniversary
hubby and I go on vacation in less than 2 weeks, getting excited! I hope you all feel better! 0 -
Oh so many exciting things are happening on December 19th! I hope those two weeks go fast for you @Kirstie155!
Thanks for the well wishes! I'm feeling better but still not sleeping that great.0 -
I hope you both are feeling better!
@Kirstie155 I'm glad you're excited for your vacation! I'm sure it will be tons of fun!
Morning sickness found me this weekend, so now I'm learning how to manage it. Hubby has been really sweet, taking great care of me. My next ultrasound is Wednesday. Hopefully they see the little bugger and it's where it belongs!1 -
@puffbrat Thanks for the well wishes! Sorry the morning sickness has hit but I'm glad your husband is taking great care of you! I hope the appointment goes well! Keep us update!
I was actually just thinking about you today and wondering how things were going so I was really glad to see an update from you.=)
EDIT: You know I never realize how often I use the exclamation point until I re-read my post. haha0 -
Thanks @WifiresGettingFit. I will sure to post an update. For now, my blood work last Tuesday was in the normal range, which was a huge relief. It was also nice not to have to go into OB Triage yesterday.1
-
I'm glad to hear all of that and especially glad that you didn't have to go back to the OB Triage. @puffbrat0
-
Glad to hear everyone is doing well!
@puffbrat seeing as you're only about 2 weeks, it's probably just too early to see anything on ultrasound. So I wouldn't worry! My ob/gyn wouldn't even see me until I was at least 8 weeks for that very reason, assuming no complications. But since I've miscarried, in the future she said we'll probably do blood work to check HCG levels whenever I'm pregnant again.0 -
@puffbrat I think that you getting morning sickness is a great sign, honestly Good luck on Wednesday!
@Kirstie155 I hope you have a good trip and a good anniversary!!0 -
Is it weird that I feel like I want to get ripped while I'm on maternity leave? LOL! I don't know what's making me think of this today.
Is everyone excited for December? Are people making Christmas strategies at all?0 -
@VeryKatie No, not weird at all.
Not really excited for December. I feel like I wasted a whole year. haha As for Christmas, I'll be waiting last minute as usual to do all my shopping and I plan to just enjoy the time with my family. What about you?0 -
@WifiresGettingFit Hahah why waiting last minute? I'm done my shopping already hahahah. I'm looking forward to Christmas, but I know It's going to make me very tired.0
-
@VeryKatie It's tradition I guess. haha Besides no one seems to know what they want this year and honestly I hate gift buying. I like giving but I hate gift buying if that makes sense. It stresses me out and I never know what to get people and the whole it's the thought that matters thing provides me no comfort. I am looking forward to time with my family though just not the rest. Holiday season is exhausting and I imagine it'll be even more so for you since you're growing a life! =D Are you showing yet?0
-
@VeryKatie go ahead and get ripped on your maternity leave!
Im 2 days away from vacation, so will be absent from the boards for about a week. Hope you all have a wonderful week, and be healthy!0 -
@kirstie155 enjoy your trip! Safe travels!!1
-
@Kirstie155 Have a good vacation!
@WifiresGettingFit Ah see the gift buying stress is exactly why I do it all super early and online. I only went to one store this year and that was for Chris' brother who asked for a gift card. So at least that was easy. Everything else? Amazon, baby! Haha. And Things are basically bought and wrapped. I just have to wait for a few to arrive in the mail now.
I'm not showing yet I don't think. It's really hard to tell though. I've always had a "D" belly, even when I was a little kid (and thin - it's just how I'm structured). So I expect I'll have to be pretty pregnant before I can tell that it's more than just not being able to suck in my D belly any more. I basically suck in 16 hours a day 7 days a week lol.
I was looking up "How do you know when you've popped" online. And the photos that some girls are posting saying "Ohhh I popped!" are just like what I always look like. I would probably have to be underweight before I actually had a flat stomach.0
But I like the sound of your new OB. I'm here for you!
