3D - 2 - Should I be worried?

Should I be worried?

This is going to sound so crazy to most of you guys but i've had 4 miscarriages in the past and I can't help but spaz out! I am officially 6 weeks and 2 days now and had an ultrasound at 5w 4d and of course, no hb yet and only saw a yolk sac but my dates lined up and I measured correctly and doc wasn't worried. I took my HCG levels and progesterone and my progesterone was 12 and my HCG was 1850. Doc says hes happy with Progesterone levels because he wanted it to be at least 10 and they are. He said to wait until the second round of HCG results before we even put any stock in the first number. I took the first HCG on a Wednesday afternoon (1850) and the second one on a Friday morning (not quite 72 hours) and my results were 2170. Naturally, I freaked and cried and was preparing for the worst. To top it off, my doc doesn't even know this yet because I took the last test on the 4th of July at the hospital and they gave me my results (I begged) so now I have to wait until tomorrow to hear what he thinks of the numbers. All weekend i've just given up and expected the worst even though i've not had any spotting or bleeding at all and just had some mild cramping (said to be normal). Am I just being stupid or what? All 4 of my miscarriages happened at 4-5 weeks and no later that's why I was a little hopeful before I got the numbers. Any experiences with this?

your not being stupid just being modest
Don's worrie this will it will go away
It sounds like everything is fine.. trust your doctor maybe this will be luckky
FOUR miscarriages?! omg u are nott crazy to be worrying. tell me what happens!!!
No, you should not be worried. Just let it go and be chilled out. If you spaz out like that then something bad will happen.
I cannot imagine how you are feeling, but I can tell you one thing. Take it one day at a time and don't think about anything but be ready to accept any possibility. Once you have prepared your mind for acceptance, you might find yourself more relaxed with your situation. Remember, o-n-e d-a-y a-t a t-i-m-e.
YOU WILL BE FINE DONT THINK ABOUT THE WORST PRAY FOR THE BEST! GOOD LUCK
I think you need to relax or else you will lose your baby. Don't worry about it and just enjoy it. A miscarriage isn't your fault, always remember that and celebrate each day that you make it farther. Try not to think about losing your baby and think about having it. Congratulations on making it past the usual miscarriage mark, thats exciting but don't worry anymore unless you have a reason okay? Enjoy pregnancy!
heck no dont worry about a thing dont worry or you'll get worry lines
if your worried get a nurse you or or one of your friends knows a nurse at a hospital have her standby my moms a nurse and she stood by for someone my dad new on the police force cause there first child was born but didnt make it and he took some guilt cause he thought it was his fault he thought he smuthered the child but it wasnt his fault my mom was standing by for the next child and there felt better so if your worried just try that go with what you think is right your baby and only you can say whats right for it
Your numbers look good. In a 72 hour period having your HCG go from 1850 to 2170 indicates a normally progressing pregnancy, NOT a miscarriage. You aren't being stupid, you're just being scared, and that's normal for someone in your situation. I know you are going to be paranoid for your entire pregnancy (who wouldn't be?), but try to relax. Once you reach that 2nd trimester, you can really relax and enjoy your pregnancy. In the meantime, be careful to eat well, be safe, and do whatever helps you be calm and relaxed. Best wishes for a happy, healthy pregnancy and a happy, healthy baby!
i dont have any experience with this but i know that worrying will not help, any stress at all can be a problem, my mom had a miscarrage after i was born, see she had my brother then a year later she had me and i was very premature so much so they didnt think id live so while she was dealing with me being in the hospital her father died and all the stress got to her and she had a miscarrage. please try to stay calm, relax, drink plenty of water... stay in bed all day and watch movies if you have to, just think of it this way, your doc wasnt worried before so things should still be fine now :)
I'm so sorry for your losses. You don't sound crazy. It's understandable to be worried when you've been through so much. When I got pregnant with my last baby through IVF I was very worried, too. I actually rented a doppler through babybeat so that I could listen to him whenever I felt scared or nervous. I knew that there were no studies done to say its safe to continually use a doppler but my fear was too great I had to reassure myself. Your HCG numbers are in the normal range. You will probably be able to see the heartbeat in another week or two. It sounds like you'll be fine based on your numbers. Wishing you a healthy happy pregnancy.<<hugs>>
Panicking and being continually worried and stressed can be bad for the baby. Calm down. Breathe in and out. Maybe talk to the baby and tell her she's gonna be okay. Psychosomatic health is one of the most important of all. Telling yourself that you and your baby will be fine and healthy will actually increase your chances of being so.
You are emotionally preparing against something that might not happen, since you've been hurt badly in the past from your experiences. I'm very sorry to hear that you lost 4 sweet little souls. Your numbers are going up! Granted not fast, but they are going up, and you normally miscarry at 4-5 weeks, and you are already ay 6 wks 2 days. With good looking progesterone. I would try to do some emotional healing and relax as best as possible. I know this might sound a little rough, but if you are to lose this child, there is nothing you can do to stop it, so you might as well fall in love and speak to this child and help him/her grow. Ask him to stay, tell him you miss his brothers and sisters and you'd like to tell him about them one day. Light a candle each night for each of the babies you've lost, and honor their passing, while hoping this child stays on this side of the universe. Do what you can to help yourself through this time, because everything to do with humbers and the babies growth is our hands right now. Sleep well and eat well and cry if you need to. Drink some red raspberry leaf tea to help strengthen your uterus.
if u worry to much u might stress ur self out ..... so just try and be calm... i know this probably sounds hard but just try and stay stress free and just be possitive....
I can't help you with the meaning of the numbers but I can tell you that every pregnancy is different. My best friend experienced 3 miscarriages in the past 2 years and they were close to giving up because of the emotional toll each one took. They decided to take a break from "trying" and just see how they felt about it later. Lo and behold, she became pregnant again and we were all so worried that the same thing would happen again. But now, she is 6 1/2 months along with a baby girl and everything is going great. The dr told them that sometimes women can have countless miscarriages for no other reason than the fetus wasn't sustainable and then carry a healthy baby to full term. I wouldn't worry too much if your doctor isn't...if he thought there was something to be seriously concerned about he would have ordered more indepth tests right then. Just stay calm and don't worry too much about it unless you have to, your body doesn't need the extra stress. Good luck!
it sounds good to me hun your travelling well i dont think anyone truely understands until you have had a misscarrage which i had a the end of jan im now 14 weeks and still scared still but honestly hun your not bleeding thats a great sigh ask for another hgc test just to be on the safe side # # 4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml # 5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml # 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml # 7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml # 9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml # 13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml # 17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml # 25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml # Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml good luck and god bless take iron and folate tables every day
Just relax.
The higher the HCG level, the better your chances. If they go down, you should see your doctor right away and have another ultrasound. Mild cramping is common with pregnancy. It is normal to have the cramping, it is just your body getting used to the pregnancy. If all seems to be well ask the doctor to try and locate the baby's heartbeat with a fetal doppler.
