Update: got to see our little nugget today! After a wild and emotional week I’ve had. I finally am starting to believe that we might get our rainbow. We’ve had very slow rising hcg and at Tuesday’s ultrasound when I was 5w4d I was measuring behind at only at 4w6d. BUT today at 5w6d I measured at 5w5d!! I’m ecstatic!! Unfortunately there was an issue with the lab today so I won’t know my hcg until tomorrow but my doctor sounded hopeful. He said he still wants to watch this pregnancy very closely and we still might have some hurdles, but at this point he is cautiously optimistic for us. I’m so happy and can’t wait to watch our little rainbow grow!! ???
UPDATE!! I’m over the moon you guys!! We have a little fighter on our hands! We had another ultrasound today and there was definitely growth! I’m currently 6w4d and little nugget is measuring 6w2d!! My doctor looked for a heartbeat and thought he saw a little bit of a flicker, but couldn’t get a good look at it... we’re super hopeful that we’ll see one on Thursday. The doctor said while he’s still cautiously optimistic, he’ll feel much better if we see that heartbeat on Thursday. We also got our hcg results back this afternoon and it came back >10,000!! They didn’t give an exact number but that’s right where we want to see it!! I’m just so happy right now words can’t express. Our rainbow ? is holding on strong and that just makes my heart so happy!! ? Thanks again for all of your kind words of hope and encouragement, it’s really helped me keep my spirits up!
I was so glad to see your post. I'm so sorry about your levels. I'm praying you have good news today and that your baby keeps growing. I remember how they keep telling my levels weren't boubling and not a viable pregnancy. And now I see my dd and how's she's my miracle baby and fighting baby.
Thank you ladies for all your kind words. My husband and I have chosen to remain positive and hopeful that we have a little fighter in there and we’re praying that we’ll get to see some good growth and maybe a little heartbeat on Tuesday. And right now I’m cherishing every moment of pregnancy regardless of what happens this week. And I really appreciate all the prayers and kind words of encouragement, they really mean a lot to me.
Another update: my nurse called with my hcg results from yesterday and it’s not good. On 12/26 it was 2811 but yesterday on 12/28 it was only 3385. That’s no where near doubling. My nurse wasn’t terribly helpful, all she said was we’ll have to see how things look on Tuesday. I feel like this whole pregnancy has been a wild rollercoaster ride. One day we get good news the next bad. I’m trying so hard to remain positive but it just seems like every time I start to hope I get shot back down. ??
Awesome update !!
