Well my friends my hcg dropped to 481. Meaning this is truly a miscarriage (no real surprise here, 1/6 pregnancies ending with a baby truly isn't the greatest of odds).
So today at 10am I get to say hello to the dildo cam and then hopefully leave with expectant management as our plan. That is my hopes for the end of this pregnancy.
I was looking back on statistics I had posted on UU and saw that ectopic pregnancy in normal population is 2% with UU the chance is 2.7% not much more of an increase but with as many pregnancies as I have had I shouldn't be surprised if one ended up being ectopic, as much as I am praying and pleading with God for it to not be so.
Soooo, my plan from here on out? Lose this last 10 lbs of pregnancy weight. I weighed myself this morning 201.4, lowest before pregnancy was right around 192. Being that I think fat is my infertility I will lose this 10lbs before we actively start TTC. Which our goal had been anywhere from when he turned 9 months (end of August) to a year (end of November). So I have 2 months to lose 10 lbs, and hopefully my cycles come back like normal.
August might be the month of OPKs to see when I ovulate for sure, and possibly a progesterone level 7dpo to make sure ovulation is sufficient. We shall see.
All I know is progesterone of 14.97 with pregnancy is l-o-w. Imagine what it was post ovulation? C-r-a-p-p-y. I want my 25-30 progesterone levels back. And as much as breast feeding COULD have something to do with lower levels for now I am going to continue believing fat is my infertility.
I'm so sorry! :-( I pray it's not ectopic! Will be thinking of you! And best of luck with your weight loss. You're so close!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss Jess -
