She says this time has been slightly easier on her as she's never heard a heartbeat like she did at her first miscarriage but she also says she cant help but hope it'll magically work out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2878879 Sun, 31 Mar 2019 10:35:02 +0000 periwinklebee 2878879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. I had an experience where we had to wait two weeks after we weren't seeing any growth for the heartbeat to stop, and then another week to get on the OR schedule for the D&amp;E. It really sucked to be pregnant, yet know it wasn't going to work :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2878878 Sun, 31 Mar 2019 10:30:30 +0000 Chuckles 2878878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RKitty: I agree with @crazydoglady: that happened to me last summer. I had my first ultrasound at almost 8 weeks and they saw only the sac. Because my hcg went up slightly over a week, I had to wait until 10 weeks and 2 more ultrasounds before they would confirm the miscarriage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2878876 Sun, 31 Mar 2019 10:07:25 +0000 crazydoglady 2878876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RKitty: It sounds like a blighted ovum ( I had one about 4 years ago.) I'm so sorry for your friend. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2878799 Sat, 30 Mar 2019 07:22:37 +0000 bhbee 2878799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RKitty: I’m so sorry for your friend, that’s a hard position to be in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2878790 Sat, 30 Mar 2019 01:42:15 +0000 RKitty 2878790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just updating as my friend's issue is on going. And in case anybody reads this in the future. </p> <p>Last weeks HCG was over 2k and today's US showed a sac grew from 3.5 to over 9 mm so they aren’t comfortable calling it yet. There’s no yolk sac or fetal pole but there is some kind of debris in there. She has a couple blood draws scheduled and an US on the 17th. (Its so far out due to scheduling issues) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2876963 Sat, 16 Mar 2019 21:29:04 +0000 RKitty 2876963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friday's appointment ruled out ectopic atleast. But everything is still alittle uncertain however its not looking good.</p> <p>There is a fluid accumulation in the uterus that might be the start of a small sac — about 4mm x 2mm. However since she would be about 5 weeks it's not very promising. </p> <p> She's getting bloodwork next week and a follow up US and appointment in 2 weeks if her tests keep showing postive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2876630 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 19:50:11 +0000 periwinklebee 2876630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had significant bleeding due to an SCH (different pregnancy than the chemical mentioned above, did not have a happy ending either but lots of times they do...). I hope the uncertainty is resolved soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2876592 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 16:26:46 +0000 RKitty 2876592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: its possible. Hopefully tomorrow she'll get some ideas </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2876398 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 17:43:26 +0000 KT326 2876398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could the bleeding be caused by an SCH? A friend of mine had one early in her pregnancy. Eventually it resolved and she is due next month. Hopefully your friend can get in and get an ultrasound to see what is going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2876394 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 17:24:18 +0000 RKitty 2876394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mystery deepens. Tests keep darkening even with blood/AF. </p> <p>Monday betas were 54 and Wednesday (today/21dpo) betas were 139. She has an appoinment on Friday to talk with someone and to figure out a path forward. </p> [attach=6725/19/pobswi.450x600.received_835723120095071.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875801 Sat, 09 Mar 2019 18:39:34 +0000 RKitty 2875801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jessiemuller88: good luck!</p> <p>Unfortunately it appears to have been a chemical as she started bleeding yesterday. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875589 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:48:14 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2875589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: thank you.

My tests haven’t progressed in 3 days. I had betas drawn at 14dpo and my hcg was 45. Going in for a repeat today. I have had 4 losses, and 3 of them were slow to progress, so I don’t have much hope. </p> [attach=9053/19/po1zf0.450x600.745175BF-36CC-4006-8712-89D53F7FDBD6.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875431 Thu, 07 Mar 2019 21:07:46 +0000 RKitty 2875431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: @fuzzypeaches: thanks for your input @bananasareyellow: your photo helps! I was goggling to find similar cases but was failing.</p> <p>But todays test was a smidge darker and she did call for betas thats scheduled for tomorrow morning. Sooo we're sticking with the hopeful slow start pregnancy :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875388 Thu, 07 Mar 2019 17:26:44 +0000 fuzzypeaches 2875388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my experience it is suspicious for a chemical 😕 I know there’s lots of success stories out there that start low and slow and are fine, but every time I have had slow progression it’s been a cp.<br /> but betas is the best option for sure 💕 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875338 Thu, 07 Mar 2019 13:56:48 +0000 bananasareyellow 2875338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately I agree that it looks like a chemical. If it helps, here are my osoms and betas from a chemical last year. It helped me to get betas so I knew what was happening. That would be my advice. </p> [attach=6822/19/po0fap.450x600.D0B075FD-C176-45EC-A71B-17CFB335BB4E.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875335 Thu, 07 Mar 2019 13:33:30 +0000 periwinklebee 2875335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my experience a progression like this was a chemical. I did not start bleeding until my hcg hit 3, which took awhile... But I know other people have had a slow start, so hard to know for sure without betas... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875317 Thu, 07 Mar 2019 11:58:16 +0000 Sams Mom 2875317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RKitty: if her GP is local, she could talk to him/her about ordering betas. Save her the long drive, but have data to submit to her RE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875273 Thu, 07 Mar 2019 03:04:50 +0000 RKitty 2875273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: thanks! That's what i was thinking too that there was a slight progression. She's hesitant at the moment to call for betas i think because she got discouraged by the lines not darking and her RE from before is 4 hours out of town. But i told her I'd ask to see if somebody with more experience would give their opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875270 Thu, 07 Mar 2019 01:25:06 +0000 Sams Mom 2875270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is some progression. OSOMs are about 20 mui on sensitivity, so the fact she's getting lines is pretty good actually. The only way you can tell what is happening though would be betas and/or wait and see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chemical-pregnancy-3#post-2875268 Thu, 07 Mar 2019 00:52:14 +0000 RKitty 2875268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm posting on behalf of a friend.</p> <p>Her first pregnancy was a missed miscarriage and let to a d&amp;c with long lasting complications. The 2nd was conceived via IVF and resulted in her son who is just a year old. She is still nursing him. She ovulated on day 42 and I've attached photos of her tests. Each test was done around the same time each morning. No meds or anything this is a 'normal' cycle.</p> <p>We're both not to sure whats going on since there is very little change in day to day - we both kind of expected darker lines. So a little worried it might be a chemical pregnancy?</p> <p>Oh and there was some spotting around 10/ 11dpo but none since.</p> <p>[attach=6725/19/pnzez4.450x600.received_315500185988451.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=6725/19/pnzez5.450x600.received_1058301337703846.jpeg] </p>
