was the value of my hCG on monday. Too low, but still increasing. I've
been trying to find info on what hCG looks like when you have blighted ovum. I've had that before, but they only did bloodwork after the m/c then, so i don't know how the values looked before. OTOH, I feel similar to when I was pregnant with DS, but they didn't do any bloodwork back then. A blessing or a curse? We'll find out when I go for another u/s early next week. They should see an embryo and heartbeat then, or all bets are off. -- -- I mommy to DS (22m) mommy to two tiny angels (28 Oct 2003 & 17 Feb 2004) guardian of DH (33) |

I don't know anything about the numbers, but surely it's a good sign they are
going up? I will keep praying and will look forward to hearing your news next week. Leslie |

Best of luck with the ultrasound. Mary |

They really should have doubled by now, and the fact that they haven't is not a good sign. -- -- I mommy to DS (22m) mommy to two tiny angels (28 Oct 2003 & 17 Feb 2004) guardian of DH (33) |

Did you also have low progesterone? Unfortunately, I seem to be the kind of person suffering severly from Murphy's law: if things can go wrong, they will go wrong. I try to stay positive, but it's darn hard! -- -- I mommy to DS (22m) mommy to two tiny angels (28 Oct 2003 & 17 Feb 2004) guardian of DH (33) |

It's a good sign that it's increasing. It's the beta-hCG that makes you "feel" pregnant, so that's a good sign, too. The u/s will tell. I hope all is well, Ilse. You're very much in my thoughts these days. That's good to know Richard. From what I have figured out, blighted ova also produce hCG and it can continue to increase well into the first trimester, but it will not increase as much as it should. So I'm not too optimistic about a positive outcome from the u/s next week. Oh, did you have your progesterone level checked? Not after the first time, when it was 6.09. I keep taking my wild yam though, it makes me feel like I'm at least doing the best I can. The midwife ****ed me off so much by not calling me back yesterday, that I didn't want to talk about suppositories, I just wanted my numbers... -- -- I mommy to DS (22m) mommy to two tiny angels (28 Oct 2003 & 17 Feb 2004) guardian of DH (33) |
