Short Luteal Phase? I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Trigger. Lost baby Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Missed Miscarriage or new pregnancy!?!? So yesterday I had blood work done to double check my HCG again since I was still spotting at cd9 and my HCG came back as 111! They said it could either be a new pregnancy (which I doubt) or it could be left over from my chemical pregnancy that my body never got rid of. At last check, my HCG was down to 7 on May 19th from my initial beta of 11 May 17th from my failed FET so I have no idea what's going on. They are waiting on progesterone results from yesterday's blood work now and I have to have another blood draw tomorrow morning to check my numbers again. Don't know what to think.... All of my miscarriages in the past have all been natural miscarriages and happened rather quickly.
Have y’all ladies heard of VBAC? I’ve been doing my research and my doctor had said I would be able to deliver my baby vaginally since I had my 1st vaginally and my son with an emergency c section. Has anyone had one and succeeded?
Update on my appointment yesterday! My doctor did my cultures and bloodwork, did a hcg count and progesterone check. He said my cervix was tightly closed and that I was definitely pregnant! Sent me to the ultrasound room to see what he could see. We saw a gestational sac, no yolks sac or baby as of yet, as it's too early but he was making sure my pregnancy was in my uterus. He said I had a 2mm cyst on my right ovary, which is indicative of that being the ovarythat released the egg and is producing progesterone. However when he called with my lab results , he said my progesterone levels was very low, and so I'm having to do my progesterone again this pregnancy also, this time way earlier than the last time! So I have to take it twice a day until my second trimester. He also said my hcg count was low, but was consistent with what was seen on ultrasound and that it was normal at this point. So hopefully when I go back on the 30th, I'll see baby, heartbeat, and yolks sac , and hes gonna do a recheck on my hcg levels and progesterone to see if they are where they need to be at ! Heres a picture of a pregnancy at 5 weeks and 2 days. Good thing I didnt stop doing bbt this time, if I would've I possibly would've miscarried. I called and scheduled my appointment because I noticed my temps were steadily going down to the coverline instead of showing an extended biphasic pattern. Last pregnancy I quit temping right when I got my bfp, as I didn't want to stress myself out. My doctor said I had low progesterone then too, a little later on down the road and I was put on prometrium. This time, something just told me to keep watching my bbt, it's a good thing I did. God works in mysterious ways ladies !!
