I'm going through the exact same thing
I had started spotting brown and cramps and went to my doc. I had 4 rounds of Beta Hcg blood tests, first two times the numbers did not double as they should have but finally (almost) doubled on the last test. Before the last test we were told to hope for the best but expect the worst. Same day as the last blood test they also gave me an ultrasound which showed only a gestational sac and yolk sac but no baby. They said I was measuring 5w1d although it was 7w1d since mp LMP. The dates did not add up for us either, I was having symptoms before their date and had a + pregnancy test just 4 days after their dates too. The spotting/cramps had stopped but started back up again a few days ago.
I have to go back next Monday for another ultrasound. Praying for a heartbeat this time! Ill be thinking of you too! What a stressful thing to go through
Saying a prayer for you...I hope everything will be okay at your appointment. At 5w1d there probably wasn't much to see. My situation just ended up being due to late ovulation and a very long cycle, so my dates were just off. Hoping that's what's going on with you too. I agree...it's really stressful.

Just wanted to post a little update. we had our ultrasound today and and it had stopped growing at 5 weeks (4 weeks ago). My body doesn't realize it yet and is still doing its thing. I see my OB tomorrow, she'll be able to tell me better what to expect. We're very sad but trying to stay positive. Everything happens for a reason ❤0

My deepest sympathies.( This is what happened to me last pregnancy! I know it is so hard to stay positive, and it is okay to be upset and mourn!! 0

Thank you. I feel like I'm in a daze almost. So confusing and almost cruel that I still have the symptoms. I did a lot of research over the last two weeks and looks like I will probably need a d&c seeing as it stopped developing 4 weeks ago but hasn't happened naturally. And I am happy that I found out early (6 weeks ago when I was only 3 weeks) because I KNOW it's nothing I did because I did everything I was supposed to
I will be ready to jump back on the weight loss wagon as well as baby making one after I've had my time to process and grieve. Thanks for listening

I had to have the d&c too... if you have any questions please feel free to PM me.0 -
I am 9 weeks and I have my first ultrasound on Tuesday. I recently was cheated on by my fiancé and now am doing things alone. Any advice how to keep this situation positive until my lovely sweetheart arrives in November?0

Hello - just had my dating ultrasound today and it puts me at 7 weeks, 4 days... so due Nov 23. This will be my second child - DD is 2 1/2.
I am not as fit as I was at the start of my first pregnancy, and for the first time in my life, I feel like 37 is old! Hopefully I'll perk up once I get past the first trimester, because I pretty much crash out whenever my toddler does - this includes weekend naps.
I'm doing another ultrasound and blood tests at 12 weeks for genetic screening. Anyone else doing this? I really debated... and don't know if I would do an amnio if I screen positive. Hope I don't have to make that decision.
I look forward to getting to know everyone.0 -
Hey ladies!! Just want to keep this board active)
Anyone have their first OB appt yet?? I have mine late next week at 8 weeks 3 days (according to LMP). Never had one before. What should I expect??
Do they do an early US, or wait.. or is that mostly dependent on the DR? Will they listen for a heartbeat? Any info would be great!
My nausea has been HELLACIOUS... seriously, the only thing I can stomach the past two days is PB&J... I have reverted back to bland and child like eating. Mac and Cheese, fruitloops, rice cakes,pretzels, .. lol. What works for you ladies?0 -
Dear November 2013 Baby Friends,
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone I've become friends with on MFP, and who have been very supportive of me. Yesterday's ultrasound confirmed that my baby no longer has a heartbeat, and that I am going through a miscarriage.
My husband and I are so very sad. We've been trying for 2 years to conceive; ever since I lost my first pregnancy to miscarriage.
My OB will be working with me over the next few weeks, watching my hGC level as it climbs back down to 0, and then we'll be doing some testing to figure out what is wrong, and to make a plan for getting pregnant in the future.
I wish you all the very. very best with your pregnancies.0 -
Due November 8th and gained to much weight already and tips for me ladies !!0

Hi Ladies!! I found out on March 18th that I'm expecting my 4th child. I have 3 boys now, so hoping for a girl. I had an appt w/ the Nurse Midwife today to get all the history and labs, etc. and then I go see my Midwife tomorrow for my first real appt. They are going to do an U/S because I have irregular periods, so going by my LMP, my due date would be 11/18 but since I charted ovulation, it would put me due on 11/28 - TURKEY DAY!! They want to find out which one is correct.
Sorry to all of you who lost your rainbows. My thoughts are with you.....0 -
Hey Ladies. I was due Nov 30 and had a miscarriage this week. I wish you all the best with your little blessings and know this November there will be LOTS to be thankful for:) I plan to let my body rest for a couple of months and then try again!0

Congratulations to you all.... Am due on November 19th... Hubby and I are hoping for a Boy!! as we both have 2 girls each...
.... am planning to keep on eating healthy and WALKING more than ever as I know it will help me lots during labor.... but for now I will go back to my yucky gagging and lotz and lotz of :yawn: 0 -
Thought I'd sneak in as well... we're due November 1st with our second! We've had our first ultrasound and seen that little heartbeat flickering away. Almost out of the first trimester - so far so good! Looking forward to getting to know you ladies and trying to stay more fit this time around. I didn't gain a lot last time, but I didn't stay active at.all. :-\ So, now that most of the nausea has passed - and hopefully my energy will return asap - and I can start walking and moving around a little each day!
Also praying for those that have already suffered losses. My heart ached for you while catching up and reading the stories. Stay positive, we're all thinking of you!0 -
Turned out that I might not have ovulated late at all like we thought I might have. I had an ultrasound today due to the return of the spotting that I had last month, and all that was there was still the small empty sac. No yolk sac, no baby, nothing. Just a blighted ovum. Oh and I found out I also have PCOS. My ovaries are full of tiny cysts, the left is far worse than the right though, so I still might have a decent shot at conceiving again. Interesting that I was able to conceive at all with hypothyroidism and PCOS, and without even trying.
I'm going for a D&C tomorrow.
Best of luck to you ladies. Wishing you happy and healthy pregnancies.
Hope to start trying again soon.0 -
Hello ladies!!! Hubby and I due for baby number 2 as well!! Baby number one is not yet 6 months old! We are due November 21. I gained 50 pounds for our first, and I am actively trying to NOT gain that again this time... especially since I still had 15 pounds to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight (and was trying to lose 20 back then.) Basically... I'm at 177 now at 10 weeks in... my ultimate goal was to get down to 135.
Loving MFP! It keeps me honest and in check... I'm addicted to it. I've never used the message boards before, but I really enjoy them! Lots of support and great information.
Feel free to friend me Also... what's a BFP? lol 0 -

How did everyone's first appointment's go??
Mine went well. Saw the heartbeat flickering away at a strong 176!! Have an appointment in a couple weeks for the blood work, pap, all that fun testing stuff!
Hope things are going well for all.
Who is finding out the sex/who's not??) 0 -
I've been thru a couple now... but yes, got to see that sweet sweet heartbeat My anatomy scan is on June 13th... but I still haven't decided if we are going to find out the gender or not. We didn't with our first and I loved that... but, I'm swaying... haha.
Glad your appointment went well!0 -
Good Morning November Mommies!! Here's where I am...So I've been starting to feel guilty for eating SOOO much crap, being that I am coming off a 100lb weight loss. I haven't worked out since I concieved really. Granted I have been exhausted and nauseous...I have still eaten like a maniac. I ready to eat clean again. I don't want to slip into old habits...and I find myself doing that. I'm still going to keep my calories the same which for me, is around 2200 (dieting prepregnancy: 1500-1800) which has thankfuly helped me maintain my weight within a 5 lb range. This is not to make anyone feel guilty, but more of a "come to Jesus" talk for myself. I know a lot of us are feeling better...so why not?! I'm going to try and get 15+ minutes a day of dedicated exercise...be it walking, or a date with my secret boyfriend Richard Simmons. I encourage any of you to do the same, if you are at the same point I am.
12 week (11w6d) appointment today! Hoping to hear my little bean!!0 -
Hey mamamc03! Sounds like a fantastic plan! I am 14w, 2d... and still have not gotten into any kind of workout routine. I didn't workout but maybe 2 times during my last pregnancy and I am DYING to change that this time around!! I need to get moving, asap. My eating isn't terrible - I am not eating particularly healthy, but I am still trying to keep it around the 1600 calorie range. I'll be upping it again (probably to 1800) in the next month or so...
Good luck at your appointment today!0 -
Morning all! Mind if I join in? I am due with my 2nd on Nov 21st --- however, we'll be doing a scheduled c-section, so not sure when that will come into play. This one was a surprise to us. With our first, we tried for 3 years, multiple IUI's & IVF attempts......so we didn't think it could actually happen on it's own, just by having sex!?!? Who knew!? hehe. My son is almost 14 months old & I'm still hanging on to the last 10lbs I gained from him + the 10-15lbs I gained while doing all of the fertility treatments.
This time around, I'm really hoping not to gain as much. I gained 40lbs my first pregnancy. However, it's been hard with being nauseous all of the time. I'm sure it'll go away soon, as it did with the first around 12ish weeks I think. Which is what I'll be at tomorrow

Hello. I would love to join you all. I am pregnant with my 3rd. I am due Nov 27th. I am trying to not gain more than 25 lbs, which my midwife said is okay as long as I am eating well and being healthy, so that's the goal.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Oh yeah, I'm Rachel0 -
Welcome to you both! This isn't really a very active board... I try to check back often, but fail most days. haha... but, welcome nonetheless! 0

Hey everyone! I just wanted to join in and say hi. I'm due with my second 11/19. I will be 14 weeks tomorrow. yay 2nd trimester!!! I had a miscarriage last September so I have been really careful this time and not exercising much at all. I'm hoping to change that now that I'm in my second tri (tomorrow) I think I will be able to relax more and enjoy this pregnancy. My son is 2, and he keeps me running around all the time.0

Hey all, due November 22!
I became a runner over the last couple of years, but the fatigue of the first trimester has derailed any hope of a regular running regimen. At bare minimum, I get my long run in on Saturdays.
I'm still going to run the last two races I signed up for pre-pregnancy (the Soldier Field 10 Miler and the Chicago Women's Half), but then I think I'm going to call it a day on the distance running, at least for the rest of the pregnancy.0
