Women of Strength!!!

[mommyin10]

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.
A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.
A strong woman won't let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings and capitalizes on them.
A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Hi, Ladies!  Sorry I haven't been around.  Good suggestion, Guesito!  It was getting long =)  Please let me know if your stats are wrong & for those with BFPs, please let me know how many weeks you are & on what day of the week it changes.  Thanks =)

Guesito:  Congrats on 2 beautiful blasts being transferred!!!  It's funny, when I had one perfect blast transferred at 5 days, it was because my RE was concerned with twins!  (I'm sure you remember) My uterus is extra small, so we transferred one to avoid multiples... Well, here you are transferring 2! ;-)  I will be praying for a sticky BFP on the 3rd!  Thank you for asking about Ricky.  He is doing so good!  You'd never even know he had surgery.  He was up & smiling, laughing like normal the morning after!!!  Amazing how resilient they are!  We go in on Thursday for a follow-up.  In the meantime, we've been taking the babies for walks & letting them roll & interact on the carpet. They're growing so fast & just so darn cute =)  Rest & best wishes!!!

Luvkayln:  I will be praying for you tomorrow!  Please update asap =)  I have a good feeling for you.  I know it's stressful when there are questions.  Try to stay positive and as calm as possible.

bfromthed:  Congrats & Happy 7 Weeks =)  I'm excited for you to see your sweet, little baby on Thursday =)

rachjas:  What is baby C's name?  How are you all doing?  I can imagine you're just elated & I'm so so happy for you!!!

Krichar:  Thanks for the sweet note!!!

GUESITO- this is right from an hcg website.

Key things to remember about hCG levels:

• About 85% of normal pregnancies will have the hCG level double every 48-72 hours. As you get further along into pregnancy and the hCG level gets higher, the time it takes to double can increase to about every 96 hours.


hope this eases your mind.  your hcg level is great right now.

[leighanne143]

GUESITO- try to relax, your numbers are great.  just liek the ladies said your numbers do start to slow down and after a few weeks it can take up to 3 days for your numbers to double.  if you look up online it tells you that your hcg can take up to 3 days to double.  and that is still ok.  try to stay positive.

Guesito- Anytime you go to the ER with a concern, they always dismiss you as a threatened m/c! No worries!! Stacey is right, after some point, your levels do stop doubling! I wouldn't worry about anything. Your sac is measuring right on and your levels are great! And yes, rest rest rest!! :) Wednesday is right around the corner! I know it feels like a lifetime, but it's almost here!

bfromthed- You go girl!! :) You are so strong, you're awesome, just amazing!!! That attitude will get you to your ultimate goal! I know it!! That's great you're almost done bleeding! I just stopped bleeding 2 days ago, finally! I bled for 17 days... crazy!! Well, it was like a period for the first week, then just an annoying constant spotting for the last of it, I'm just glad it's over! Now I'm having O pains, so my body's jumping right back in to gear! :) We're not trying for a while, but if we get another suprise, I'll be happy! ;) God will give me what's meant to be!! And He is taking care of you too! :)

Krichar- I know that stinks you'll have to wait a little longer, but there are so many +'s about the situation! What if they do find a reason why you keep m/c'ing, and have a way to prevent it??? How amazing would that be to know that when you do get pregnant again, everything will be great! :) And how awesome that you won't lose your place on the list! This is a win/win situation for you!!! Baby dust your way sweetie!!!! :)

Your post made me feel so much better... I have had no bleeding or anything, I guess the ER assumed M/C even my discharge papers have a diagnosis of Bleeding while pg..??? I havent bled!!    The u/s tech at the ER wouldn't even do a transvaginal and did a regular sonogran (without a full bladder) she was very brief and didn't know half of the answers to my questions, she did see a sac  measuring perfect at 5wks 5 days.......My RE appt is this wed 8/18 for a u/s so I guess I will pray and hope, I don't know what to expect on wed but know for sure they have all the answers. ***Praying for a miracle***

[Stacey1718]

Guesito - Praying for you!  I did not see Jake's heartbeat until 6.5 weeks and he was a threatened miscarriage after my first big bleed at 11 weeks.  Hang in there and rest rest rest.  Stay in bed...I am convinced it really helped us.  Nothing else is more important right now. Your beta is godd and at some point it stops doubling and as long as it keeps rising you are good.  Positive thoughts to you and really...stay in bed!!  xoxo

[GUESITO]

Update- Continued to have right side pain went in to the ER, they found a sac measuring 5wks 5days, no fetal pole or anything yet. My beta came back at 24,765. Im beyond upset since my last beta was 4445 on 8/9 which means that it hasn't been doubling. They diagnosed me with a Threatened M/C and put me on bed rest. I don't know if I should change my re appt since I just had an US last night and will give it another week. This is not what I expected but are terrified right now!
