Do you think this is a viable pregnancy?

Smiley99 · 12-12-2006, 11:21 AM

I had 2 IUIs with injectables on 11/9 and 11/10. I got a BFP on 11/24 and these are the beta's so far:

11/23 48
11/27 184
12/11 2535

I had my first u/s yesterday and I couldn't see very much considering I'm supposed to be a little more than 6 weeks and my doctor warned me of a possible miscarriage. So far, I have not had any bleeding or cramping and I still feel pregnant. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Smiley99

It is so hard to say based on betas alone, but based on your numbers there is no reason to worry!!
As for the u/s from what I have heard, if you have a tilted uterus, it can make it harder to view the baby. Also, if you implanted a day or so later it can also make a difference as every day things change. I would say, try to keep a positive thought!!

I'd hate to say this but it doesn't this pregnancy doesn't look very promising. I had another beta done yesterday and it was only 2765 (not a big increase from Monday's beta of 2535). My doctor pretty much confirmed it was more than likely a non-viable pregnancy. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound at the hospital on Monday to confirm what's going on. I would be past 7 weeks by then so they should see a heartbeat if all is well. Right now, I'm not overly optimistic. I haven't had any bleeding or cramping but I think that's inevitable right now and will need to wait for that to happen.

Thanks for your support and prayers - I wish it had turned out differently.

Best of luck to all of you!

Hi Leslie - can I ask you a question? I hope it's not too personal. I know that you suffered a miscarriage and not knowing much about them, was it like a typical AF, except heavier. I stopped taking progesterone last Friday and since then, I have had brown spotting w/small clots but nothing major. It is very light and not even close to AF so I don't know if this is the beginning of a miscarriage or something else. I have my next ultrasound tomorrow which should finally put my mind to rest with this pregnancy. Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pina

Leslie - thanks for the info, it really helped. It looks like I'll be miscarrying after all. Today's ultrasound wasn't much different - they saw the sac and possibly a fetal pole but not much else. Considering I'm getting close to 8 weeks, we should have seen the baby and the heartbeat. I noticed today that I'm bleeding a little heavier and it's more red than it has been. I still don't have cramps but that should be soon and I was told that they could be quite painful. I hope to be back on this board in the new year.

Good luck to all of you enjoying a healthy pregnancy!!
