Remember my whiny, pity party of a CW? *Update*

What a difference a day makes...I got a giant shock on Thursday. A BFP. And I am in need of something. I'm not sure what. Maybe some words of wisdom? Hugs? Positive stories? I'm so confuzzled since I had what I thought was AF 13 days ago. I went in for bloodwork today and it confirmed that I am pregnant (!) but they were concerned about the alleged AF. She said it could have been a m/c so they want me to come back in for more betas on Monday. I'm trying not getting my hopes up because I don't know how this will end but I want this to be our sticky baby. I'm completely freaked out about the possibility of another m/c.

I don't know much about betas but the nurse said they need to go up...pretty fast. T is out of town until Sunday and I'm feeling kind of isolated.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom about betas or any sticky dust to spare?

No news yet..I had my blood drawn this morning and the results hadn't come back by the end of the day. :( I'm hopeful though and they said to check back tomorrow!

Thank you so much for all the good thoughts and dust!

  • Wow. Well, like they say: expect the worst, but hope for the best. What are betas, anyway? I assume you're not talking about the fish. That would fun too, if you were. Wink Crossing my fingers for you.

    Betas check HCG levels and doubling time. You want them to increase at a good rate (double every 2-3 days, but there is quite a range here for whats normal).  They typically take them every 2 days to check doubling time (just a blood draw).

    Good luck andrea! Fingers crossed for you. 

  • So much dust to spare!!!!! I will be praying for you and extra betas!!! 

    It's not a personal story but a friend of mine who had a very difficult time ttc bled through several pads, bright red, thought it was a mc and it was really just nature telling her to slow down and take it easy. she gave birth to a healthy boy right on schedule. he is 11 years old now.

    Lighting extra candles for you and yours. !! If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.

  • *Big hugs* No words of wisdom but I am SO SO happy to hear it. I am sending you all the sticky dust and positive thoughts I can muster! Experiencing your journey on here and through your blog has been heart-wrenching and I want you to know that we are all here for you and hoping for the very best! My mom miscarried in her late 30s before having me at 39! And I've known 2 women who had more than one miscarriage before having one or more beautiful children. I hope this is IT for you. I'm so sorry T isn't there but stay positive and know that we are all rooting for your sticky baby!

  • Waiting is by far the worst. I had to wait an extra 2 days for my first beta result because the lab's machine went down. It was pure torture. 

    I hope you hear something soon!
