    Positive fFN at 18/4. Now what? Any experiences with FFN in 2nd trimester on here?

    Hi, just fishing for experiences really. Short backstory on me: 2x early loss, 1x late loss (SCH led to infection led to IC). Had terrible SCH bleeds 8w-16w in this pregnancy. On 200mg x2 progesterone daily. Had my first fFN test today, it's positive. Despite everything I wasn't expecting that...

    Had first U/S and I'm a little worried d/t baby being smaller than expected..

    My LMP was 10/16 and I conceived 11/3 (CD 19). I'm supposed to be 7weeks 3 days. Baby only measured 6w 4days, but HR was 128. I'm really confused and feeling a little concerned. I go back in 2 weeks for a second ultrasound (they said so they can get a better idea of the due date). Any thoughts?

    HCG results - are they tracking okay? Doctor won’t scan till 8 weeks

    Hi! I did my 5th (!!!) FET on April 17th with two 5 day embryos. - Beta 1: 7DPT, 14.5 - Beta 2: 11DPT, 150 - Beta 3: 13DPT, 423 - Beta 4: 16DPT, 1078 My third transfer resulted in a blighted ovum, so I am currently terrified at 5 weeks 1 day, knowing my doctor will only see me for an...

    Experience w/ slow hcg rise 5-6 weeks

    TW: miscarriage and child loss Third pregnancy, trying not to spiral but also want to prepare myself. 5.5w hcg levels were just over 6000, and 48hours later they had only risen a little more than 1000 to 7000-something. My OB wasn’t immediately concerned and wanted another draw (TBD), while...

    Horrible L&D Experience

    I went into the hospital because of some spotting I was experiencing (I'm 21 weeks now, short cervix at 2.6cm and slight funneling when pressure is applied at 1.0 cm) and they sent me to L&D to get checked. The nurses there were so sweet, but the doctors.... I was seen by a Doctor and a second...

    Does HCG actually slow down after 1200mIU/ml in a healthy pregnancy?

    I see it mentioned all over the internet that doubling can slow to 72-96 hours at this point without a source in sight. Anecdotally, it looks like a lot of healthy pregnancies maintain a higher rate for a bit longer. My doubling was initially under 48hours and then tanked to 66 hours after...

    another post about low betas

    Basically just looking for reassurance or advice. I tested positive on a FRER ~9:30pm on Tuesday night, probably 10DPO. By complete chance, I had a doctor's appointment scheduled the next morning at 8:30am and when I told my PCP the news, he kindly offered a blood draw to test my betas (and...

    Is there any reason a stronger test very early on should be a concern?

    Here's my timeline: 4/20: MMC detected at 12w US 4/21: D&C 5/10: HCG blood test measured at 12 mIU/mL, a few days after I was testing negative on HPTs 5/23: First day of first period after D&C 6/4: Positive OPK (CD 13) 6/6: FF's guess at O day 6/14: Clear positive on FRER and easy@home...

    Ladies... I'm f***ing stupid!

    So, I got frisky tonight and (somehow) forgot that I am 16 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I decided I would bellyflop onto the bed. So I did. And now I'm freaking out. What the fuck was I thinking?! Ugh... I'm seriously stupid sometimes.

    I was admitted to L&D Sunday due to contractions

    I'm going to try to keep this short, but wanted to share with you ladies who have supported me so much: So as some of you know I found out early on in my pregnancy that I have 15 fibroid tumors on my uterus. The risk to the baby is preterm labor; the risk to me is pain and possibility of...

    Beta’s rising

    Link to my original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/CautiousBB/s/wBTBTw0LZ6 I got my blood drawn on 12/28, and my B-hCG was at 45,959. Should I relax now seeing as it is rising? I’m having trouble relaxing because of my stats: 12/8: Cramps, NPT 12/12: PPT, LMP 11/6, Cramps 12/14: Cramps...

    Intro and looking for advice for how to tell my husband!

    Hi CBB, I was a BB-er 2 years ago and this morning, I got my positive test for #2! My guess is about 4 weeks along. We have a 15 month old toddling tornado and bean #2 was semi-planned, so this won't be a total shock to my husband. I was thinking maybe putting D (internet pseudonym for my...

    I think my MIL is more excited than hubby and I!

    Yesterday marks 17 weeks!! I am definitely feeling my uterus grow, it's just under my belly button and hubby seems to think he can see a bump when I can't. (That's fine lol) I am still in my pre-pregnancy jeans, but I have 2 pairs of pants that are 1 size too big so I still have room to grow and...

    high HcG?

    Hi, all. I had my blood drawn for confirmation yesterday at 19dpo. I had an early loss a few months ago and was really hoping for a very normal number. The results came back today and the HcG level was 3700. I’m nervous as I’ve read high levels could be a sign of something wrong. Is this high...

    Miscarriage or not? Advice needed

    Hi y’all. I had an 8 week loss in February (triploidy) and after my beta went to zero my dr cleared me to try again. We got pregnant again before my period even came back. I’ve been getting positive tests for 8 days now, with the strongest yet today, but I have had bleeding, (brown, dark red...
