I had a good Thanksgiving, hope you did as well...
Actually I have had more pink blood today so I am almost positive that I am miscarrying. This is how it happened the other 4 times.
I have come to terms that this is not going to be a good outcome and that's ok with me. There's nothing I can do anyway, so I am not going to worry about it.
I have so much to be thankful for...my 2 grown children, my 2 TR babies and in January I will have my first grand~daughter. God has been so very good to me and I can't complain.
Wishing you well, and I will update this on Dec 1st after my ultrasound.

Hi Danaka, I have a little set back, but I'm not worried. I was a bit upset last evening because I have to reschedule.. But God is Good, ALL the time, in good times and bad times. I had my test results back and I have to rectified one or two things. God is the Great Physician and I know it will be so!!! I'm feeling great this morning. Made an appointment with my Dr. for today and we will continue our journey. It's a sweet journey and it will be well worth it in the end. Be Blessed Much Love, Roslyn
I go for my ultrasound on Dec 1st...but not sure what's gonna happen between now and then because this afternoon when I wiped (sorry, tmi) I seen a little (pin head size) pink tinged cervical mucus. Not sure if this is normal or not...I don't remember having this with last two tr babies...But I know all pregnancies are different.
I will keep you posted tho...thanks for the prayers...I am continuing to pray for you as well.
I was just checking in to see if you had gone for your U/S? I also wanted to thank you for your kind words.
Keep me posted, I am praying for your baby to show up like my little man did...

Hey Danaka, I love reading your remarks, they are so positive and uplifting! DH and I went to the bank today, things are looking good, just a couple of documents needed, which were not a problem. My Dr is making the arrangements to get my bloodwork started tomorrow and I will be sending my TL report tomorrow also. Even though I haven't had my TR yet, I'm keeping a record of my AF and I did an ovulation calendar. It looks like I'm on track. From the calendar, I will have just had my visit from AF the day before the surgery and have the possibility of getting pregnate two weeks later! That would be very exciting!!! Just thinking possible, bc I know God is able
Seeing a gestation sac ultrasound on 11/16/09 showed that the pregnancy is in your uterus. The second ultrasound scan showing the development of a yolk sac is a sign of normal pregnancy development. A blighted ovum usually does not develop a yolk sac - it remains just an empty sac. Once a pregnancy is located in the uterus by ultrasound, it is not necessary to continue monitoring the HCG level. From that point on, ultrasound is a better indicator of the development of the pregnancy.
From the information you have given, your pregnancy looks healthy to me.

Lara I am wondering was the left tube the only one you had after your tubal reversal or did something happen later. Sorry if my question is too invasive.
Thanks so much for your reply. My story is a long one, but short version is I had reversal of tubal ligation in 2003, 4 miscarriages and miracle tubal reversal babies . I only have my left tube at 5 cm. We weren't even trying this time. I am praying that when I go back in 10 days I'll see another miracle on that ultrasound, but if not, I will still feel so blessed with all God has given me. Of course, I'll be sad, but that is only natural.
To you...Good luck and I will also keep my eye out for your post.
I have written this one time before on another thread.
I had severe pain on my right side when I was about 6 1/2 weeks or so. I went in to the Dr. office and the did and U/S and saw an empty Yolk sack... Then sent me to the hospital bc they said at this point in my pregnancy the should see the baby!!! I was freaking out. I had to have labs drawn and my numbers were increasing but NOT doubling... they tested my hcg a number of times and then another U/D from the hospital (hoping that maybe there machine would be better) They still saw NOTHING just the sack So it was suppose to go for a D&C in the morning around 6am. I asked my Dr. to do another HCG before we went down and within a few hours my numbers had JUMPED by thousands!!!!! They sent me down for another U/S and there he was!!!!!!!!!!!! Within a few hours things can change. Sometimes Dr's. just go by what the book says should happen or what they have been taught or have seen. My son is 5 years old So chin up!!!
I am now 4 weeks pregger and I am having my labs drawn and my levels have been 24, and 39.. I go back on Monday for my 3rd set. I am hoping a big increase but they are reminding me that this may just be the way my body does it. My Dr also told me that we are not machines and we will not double exactally in 24-72 hours could be a little less or right at it or a ton more!!! It's just what they would like to see.
I am being hopeful as you should as well, good luck and I will keep an eye out for your post I would love for you situation to turn out just like mine!! Have faith in HIM and all things are possible!! I can promise you that

Here are some things I found on the internet that gives me hope with my pregnancy.
Most importantly, remember, typical HCG doubling times increase with higher hCG levels.
- Under 1200 mIU/ml: 48-72 hours. - Between 1200 to 6000 mIU/ml: 72-96 hours. - Over 6000 mIU/ml: more than 96 hours
and...
According to Embryo and Fetal Pathology "The detection of a yolk sac excludes the diagnosis of a blighted ovum because a viable embryo is necessary for yolk sac development." Basically, if a yolk sac is seen during a trasvaginal ultrasound, you cannot be diagnosed with a true blighted ovum. This does not mean miscarriage is not a possibility. It just means this is not a blighted ovum.
10 more days until next ultrasound, so I am trying to be positive about this pregnancy. I have no bleeding, no pain...hoping all of this is a good sign.

Lara - I hope things work out for you. I would certainly hold out until your next u/s and keep positive that anything can happen and does! I would also prepare yourself just in case. At this stage, there is nothing we can do if the pg doesn't sustain itself and remember it's nothing you did or didn't do. These things simply happen.
I remember my OB saying that at some point the doubling numbers does slow down, so I'm not sure I would stress the number too much. I would be concerned about the lack of h/b if your at 7-8 weeks. But if your dates are speculative - even a few days - can make a HUGE difference.
Stay positive, and remember even a few days at this point make a big difference on that u/s screen. I'll be hoping your next results are all wonderful!
