Hellobee Boards

thanks everyone for the encouragement! I must admit I am still a nervous wreck because I am certain I am measuring way behind. The heartbeat gives me hope though.
@travellingbee: well we only DTD one time so I know within a few days of when I conceived. I temp and chart and track CM and got my positive at 10dpo so I can't be THAT far off! Maybe I implanted a little late and my BFP was actually earlier than I thought.
@Rocker2014: @Annette: @keybee: I love positive stories when babies measured behind and everything turned out great. Thanks for sharing. These stories keep me hopeful!

@auggiefrog: good luck to you too mama. I wish we could just all measure right on track and save the stress. I just keep telling myself that somebody's baby has to be in the 5th percentile and maybe it is mine and there is nothing wrong with that. Plus we both have plenty of time to catch up.

@pastemoo: thanks for checking in. We had a busy weekend so it was easy to keep my mind off things. After the initial euphoria of seeing a heartbeat wore off though, I'm left feeling apprehensive. I'll get my actual measurements from the radiologist tomorrow morning and I'll know more then. I'm so lucky to have so much support here and with my friends and family.

@BandDmommy: as suspected, the radiologist said the HR was low and it was still measuring 10-14 days behind depending on the angle. I have another scan tomorrow afternoon and I imagine it'll show no heartbeat. I've accepted this is what is happening and hope it doesn't drag on anymore. I'm 10+2 now and have been measuring behind for weeks. I was holding on to hope for awhile but after hearing the HR was low, I think I just have to accept that this didn't work out.

@PrincessBaby: thanks so much. I just figured after our loss in December that my next pregnancy would go smoothly. Not so much! At any rate I just keep reminding myself how lucky I am to have one beautiful DD and that helps to keep my mind off things. I hope this little baby catches up too but it just seems impossible to me.

Thanks everyone for all the support. Unfortunately the baby has passed away. I've opted to take the pills tonight to induce it. I haven't had any spotting or cramping yet and I am not sure if I can just wait around for it to happen on its own. At least it'll be over soon and I can move on. Thanks again all. Hopefully next time I will have a happier ending.

@Mrs. Champagne: oh I'm glad you said that. I keep reading horror stories about the pills. Any recommendations? Heating pad? Pain meds? A bottle of wine?

Thanks everyone. I know so many of us have experienced loss here. It is unfair.
