I know the ultrasound tech told me that it didn't look very good and I'm likely to miscarry, but my basal temperature is still high, and I'm still having pregnancy symptoms. My boobs are huge and I'm gassy.
Also, my doctor called a little later yesterday after reviewing my ultrasound data, and told me that I was "right on track" and asked if they "told me something bad"? (*ahem* cuz I freaked out immediately after the ultrasound and asked to be seen by the doctor, who's at another location).
I don't know if I can put hope in any of her words because I feel like she's the type that hates delivering bad news and will sugar coat things until the inevitable. I mean, the tech has been doing this for 26 years, AND she was there to see the pregnancy, my doctor probably just saw the data. She said my gestational sac looked flat and irregular. She also said she saw movements outside of the sac, possibly my cervix? Asked if I was cramping - and you know what? In the evening for the past 2/3days, I've been having these dull achy pains in my uterus. They aren't stretching pains. I have a feeling she is right. I hope to God she is wrong, but she's been looking at pregnancies for 26 years... why would she tell me something so grim if she isn't sure?
Oh well. So far, the m/c isn't happening yet. I will get another beta on Monday. See how it's rising/dropping or not doing anything at all, then get another ultrasound on Friday at 6 weeks. If I last that long.

3rd miscarriage.
It doesn't look good. What a surprise..
Ultrasound technician found a small odd shaped (pancake) gestational sac and a yolk sac but no fetal pole. The sac measured at around 5 weeks length wise, but width wise, it was out of range (which means less than 5 weeks). She also said she is seeing some movement around the sac and asked if I was cramping... I said, minor achey cramps yes. She said it looks like my body is getting ready to get rid of it.
Started out great, HCG more than doubled every 48 hours... then it just stopped. I think we have genetic problems. This is our 3rd m/c in a row, and no kids, so we're finally getting all the tests done.

Worried now
Test result from yesterday:
HCG = 2153
it's only a 53% increase, whereas I've been having 140% increases last week.
I'm booked for an ultrasound at the hospital tomorrow morning. The doctor is worried too.

DPO 18 blood test results
Forgot to post this, I took some blood tests on Monday (2 days ago):
HCG = 1405
Progesterone = 16.8 - a drop.
Doctor said not to worry about the drop because HCG looked good. I think she sugar coats things though (as experienced from last two miscarriages).
I'll get another beta reading tomorrow as I did another blood test today... then I'll probably do another one on Monday!!! ahh I'm insatiable!

DPO 20: 4 weeks 4 days
Had another boob episode yesterday... but way worse because the deflation lasted from 11:00pm until the whole day next day. I was sure I was miscarrying, so I started crying at work. Then worried and stressed my hubby out until we went home at 6pm, he took a look and disagreed with me that they've deflated... then a little later they were tender again. By the end of the night, they were fuller, and the next morning (this morning)... they are sore again and full.
CRAZY.
CRAZY.

DPO17 : 4weeks 1 day
I didn't record this yesterday because I didn't want to obsess over every little detail, but now I'm going to jot it down to remind myself the next time I freak out.
Yesterday was the first day of the week that I didn't have to wear a bra (because I was home all day)... so I didn't notice my boobs being really sore. During the evening, I started feeling them around and they felt a little smaller - the fullness deflated. Then my husband came over to cop a feel and told me the same thing (without me vocalizing to begin with)... so we were both like "uh oh".
So anyways, friends were coming over, so I unwillingly put a bra on. By midnight, they didn't really hurt, but when I felt them again, they were full again.
This morning, they still aren't as painful as the few days in the 3rd week, but I believe they're the fullest yet.
