I am pr-dating this post so that it lands below the first post, but today is March 12th. I received my Beta results on Friday, after waiting for a week after the draw (why so long? I have no idea). It was 34, so still positive, although way down from the 750 two weeks prior. That means the Dr. wants to do one more draw in 2 weeks (really 3 weeks from the draw, given the week;s delay for results). They want to see it drop below 5, although the nurse did tell me that this was considered a good drop and a positive sign that everything is as it should be.
I have an appointment on Wednesday for what was supposed to be the "big" prenatal visit. The first ultrasound, the exhaustive blood work, the confirmation of a due date. Instead, I am going to the appointment for my annual checkup/post miscarriage checkup. That will be rough, going for what was supposed to be a happy appointment, but is instead a boring checkup. At least the annual stuff will be out of the way for another year!
Bleeding stopped completely about 10 days ago. Even after the last post I ended up with spotting for a few more days. Right now at 4 weeks post m/c, I am seeing signs that my fertility cycle is trying to return. Nothing predictable, though, so I am waiting for AF or some signs that ovulation has occurred (so I know when to expect AF). I'm thinking there will be a new normal, just as there was after each of my other two babies were born.
No one has asked, but I know people are wondering if we are planning to try again. I don't know, really. We trying to just wait and see. I guess time will tell!
