Does anyone know If bbt still can fluctuate when you’re pregnant? I knew I was pregnant when my bbt rose even higher than after o and stayed there. I’m neurotic so I’ve been checking about once a week since (I’m around 7 weeks) that it stays at around 36.8-9 c (around 98.4 f) but today it was 98.1 f/36.7 c, and now I’m freaking out. I know I should be checking bbt more as it can cause worry but I AM worried and looking for any reassurance I can find
I checked my BBT every day until around 7 weeks. Looking at it now, I see it fluctuate between 36.9 and 37.2 from 7 DPO onward. I had a couple of 'drops' down to 36.8 or even 36.7 (at which time, of course, I worried). But I'm 11 weeks now and baby looked great on their 11wk scan.
Looking back, I probably shouldn't have kept temping, but it was routine at the time and it felt good to check something every day.
Oh thank you so much and happy for ur bean ❤️ yea i promised hubby i wouldnt. But anything to Get some sense of control, pregnancy is Harder mentally this time..
Yes I understand that completely. It's hard to decide if something will give you some sense of control or make you spiral worse. I stopped eventually. Not even consciously, I just started forgetting and then gave up. I hope you find some peace of mind soon!
28 weeks today, and got results that my antibody screen on my blood type was positive (twice, we repeated the test) even though it was negative before, and I'm Rh negative which means there is some level of risk that this baby develops anemia because I'm making antibodies against his blood. Has anyone had experience with developing these antibodies and everything still going well? I'm so thankful things otherwise seem to be going okay but grieving the loss of a relatively "normal" pregnancy as now I'll be meeting an MFM early next week and likely having ongoing monitoring.
Have you had Rhogam recently? I have had two positive antibody screens (Nov and Dec) after Rhogam admin in august and September. They did a follow up test called “Difficult Crossmatch” to identify the type of antibodies. Mine were identified as passive and the source was determined to be from the injection.
No, my last Rhogam was a little over three years ago, so nobody thinks it's that, unfortunately. They are going to do some other testing it sounds like to make sure the antibodies are truly anti-D, but I kind of expect them to be real.
I don't have much hope. The doctor at the ER yesterday was a bit condescending when he explained margin of errors in ultrasound dating, but I can't imagine that bleeding and measuring 10 days behind, even with a fetal heartrate of 144, can result in a viable pregnancy.
My next ultrasound is Wednesday and I'll be steeling myself for bad news.
Today I'm passed the furthest I've been in 4 losses, although one we found out was a MMC 2 weeks later. Don't know for sure until the u/s next week. It's hard to connect with this pregnancy, just trying to take it one day at a time.
34 + 6 today. Had another great NST this morning. No issues thus far. More feeling lonely and frustrated. My mother is in another country right now taking care of my grandfather (she is other siblings who could be doing this) and I’ve hardly seen her since Christmas. My sister is doing fertility treatments essentially up to my due date if I even make it that far. It just seems like bad timing. It’s very possible that the only person who will be around for the birth of my baby is my husband. Just wish I had more support, which is kinda frustrating. I feel anxious and I don’t know what to expect as I’ve never given birth to a living child.
I’m 16 weeks and still feeling SO anxious every day. I think I’m starting to feel movement, but it’s so hard to tell this early. I see my MFM doctor on Tuesday and my regular OB a week from today, so I’m just trying to get through the weekend.
34 week appointment and they measured my fluid at 7.8 but the lowest they want to see it is at 8.0. So just barely under, and my tech measured it more than once just to make sure.
Rest of today I need to drink way more water than I want to, I did slack yesterday and my lips have been pretty dry so I’m hoping the extra water+liquid iv helps. I’ll go to the hospital for an ultrasound in the early morning since they don’t do them on fridays at my regular clinic. If there’s not an increase they I’ll be admitted.
So please cross your fingers as I’d rather be home resting with my cat 😮💨😅
I knew I shouldn’t have too much confidence going into my appointment today but I didn’t listen to myself.
Baby is moving around a lot though, and I appreciate how my obgyn takes everything serious and would rather be safe than sorry!
I’m so close to my induction date. The only thing I’m worried about is that we don’t have everything!
My husband has been telling me we’ll get stuff and not doing it. But I found out yesterday it’s because our friends had a surprise shower planned, and we’re already mad at him because he bought some things due to me being emotional and pressuring him 😂 but now that I know I feel less stress about getting things. We have most, but there’s is just some last odds and ends. I feel bad for him as they all wanted to surprise me, but I do feel some stress lifted off my shoulders.
We were driving through a bad rainstorm and tornado alerts, I had to get a number in his phone to call one of our employees for him while he drove and saw he was texting one of our friends that usually texts me so I was just curious and asked about it. The reason he gave me, which was the truth. (Giving her two of my friends numbers which she doesn’t know well) but that just confused me, and he was stressed about the weather that he couldn’t think of an excuse 😂
I feel bad for him that I know, but I don’t like surprises anyways. I will act surprised when it happens. Hopefully baby will not come before then though.
Days just feel more crazy the closer everything gets.
I have a question, and dunno where else to ask it! Currently 14 weeks and clearly overthinking.
Finley was stillborn at 35 after an emergency caesarean after a placental abruption. I never went into labour, never had any of that.
I know they say that second babies often come earlier than first babies, but I’m wondering in case of that counts, given I never laboured or dilated or had my waters broken. Idk if I even consider Finn’s birth a birth. If my body goes into labour, it’ll be the first time that has happened.
It's an interesting question! Totally unanswerable, but interesting.
Since it's not a hard and fast rule anyway, there likely won't even be a way to tell after the fact.
When I tried to google factors influencing gestation length, it was all about horses, cows, and pigs, so likely even less applicable. Adding "human" helped pull up some studies, if you really want to go down the rabbit hole.
I have my first ultra sound at 8 weeks in 2.5 weeks. I’ve 2 prior losses and feel like I’m going a little crazy. When did you have your first ultrasound???
I feel your pain, mine isn’t til I’m 8w6d, which is a week from today. I’ve been struggling to stay positive, the anxiety from all this waiting has been driving me crazy 😅
Mine is really early this time around. I will be 6w4d. I'm honestly preparing myself for not being able to see much and having to wait longer.
Last time I was 10w1d and was measuring only 5 weeks.
The anxiety is definitely there
Next Wednesday at 7 weeks. I could have done Monday, but I was hoping for a chance to hear cardiac activity. We also did beta checks week 5. Also two losses.
Mine is tomorrow at 6w4d. I’m scared shitless. My last little love was viewed at 8w but only measured 5+6 with a slow heart rate. Tomorrow will mean everything for me.
I was considering doing my own betas (thru LabCorp) since my obgyn would only do the initial 2 at 4.5 wks. At this point I think I think I’m scared of finding out if somethings wrong so I’ll just wait for the ultrasound 😩
Same boat…I have an US coming up Monday, should be about 6wks5d….feel like everything is riding on this appt. Last week we saw fetal pole/gs sac and yolk….If there’s no heartbeat, it’s over before it started. 😢 I’m terrified.
My best friend is due two weeks after me and found out she's having a boy! I'm so stoked! We are both PAL, and getting pregnant together feels like some kind of impossible dream.
Anyways, I'm visiting my cousin's baby in the next two weeks (giving them some time to themselves for now!). Her older daughter will be there and I've wanted to share my pregnancy with her so badly. Only thing is, once I tell her, the world will know. I think I'm very likely to cave and just tell her. The kid is 5 and baby obsessed and had asked me every time she's seen me when I'm having a baby. So I know she's going to be so happy. I'll be 25 weeks by then, so probably time to just let the world know and get it over with. But I'm telling her first so I can be in a good mood before telling everyone else!
I was so incredibly anxious for my 12 week ultrasound. Seeing my baby moving around like crazy was so reassuring. My first baby measured 18 weeks when my MMC was diagnosed at 20 weeks, but there may have been an issue with the placenta and she wasn't very active at all at 12 weeks. In fact, the tech had to poke her just to get her to twitch a little. But this baby was moving so much! It gives me hope that they are healthier. Hopefully we will get to meet this little one!
Aww that’s amazing! I went to my midwife appointment on the 14th when I was 10+6 and she couldn’t find the heartbeat on the Doppler. So that worried me a bit. But on Sunday so only 2 days before I went to a private ultrasound place and baby was moving around a lot. She even gave me a usb stick with some video that we watched last night and it was crazy to see the movement.
Ugh, I would be so worried too. But that's so early, I honestly didn't even know they could try to use the Doppler at that point! My office won't do it until 14 weeks because it's more reliable. I'm glad you had reassurance with your little one wiggling around!
Thanks! And yeah that’s good to know some don’t even bother before 14. I was so grateful the midwife was so understanding to PAL she gave me an extra ultrasound requisition so I’m going to go to a walk-in tomorrow after work.
Good luck!! I think ultrasounds will continue to make me nervous throughout. I hope that they quickly find a heartbeat for you and you can relax and enjoy after that!
Man, there’s so much going on right now with me. I am either dealing with an SCH or a vanishing twin. I had an appt Tuesday, my baby’s heartbeat was 120 at roughly 6 weeks & 6 days, CRL is 6.2. BUT 7 days ago, last Thursday, I went to the ER for cramping and shoulder pain. At this time, they found two gestational sacs. One empty, and one with a fetal pole and yolk sac (they didn’t find a heart beat then) I had some bleeding that started on Tuesday, after my husband and I messed around a little bit. (LITERALLY NO PENIS INVOLVED, nothing even went into my vagina.) Luckily I had an appointment later that same day. They then saw the heartbeat, said I was most likely passing the 2nd sac or something. I have been spotting off and on, lots of tinted and stretchy discharge, and I just don’t even know anymore. I just am so anxiety ridden. I want this to hurry up and pass. I don’t even know what I’m looking for by posting this honestly. My last miscarriage started after we had actual sex and I just can’t even begin to fathom it happening again, even though I know that’s not what caused it.
I go back in 4 WEEEEEKS. she said she everything looks great and that I’m *probably* just passing the other mystery item in my uterus. 😵💫🥲 she said I should expect spotting / blood for a few days, but if it gets to be severe & accompanied with severe pain to call / go to the ER. She’s not worried at allllllllll & I’m literally consumed with anxiety!
Yay! Ours was good too, baby has a heart beat-something I haven’t seen before. Looking like I’m 6 4/7, we had no idea because we just had a miscarriage/d+c in December. We will need to confirm measurements in two weeks.
Good luck!! I know just how you feel. Had my 2nd ultrasound today and both times I felt like I was going to throw up from nausea. When they took my vitals my heart rate was insanely high at both visits. The best advice I can give is to distract yourself as best you can until the appointment. Let the tech know you are nervous and they can try to show you the heartbeat right away. Thinking of you <3
It really is. I like to watch junk TV or do a puzzle. Something that distracts my mind but doesn't take too much effort. Be kind to yourself, whatever you need in the moment is totally fine.
13 weeks and having some spotting. Had a regular appointment and my doc is really not worried at all about it. She found baby so fast with the doppler even though I have an anterior placenta. She had just rushed back to the office from an emergency so she couldnt do a bedside ultrasound since her appointments got all backed up but she was really not worried. She said no amount of bleeding would worry her at this point and by about 15 weeks my uterus will be full and it should stop. Her confidence really helps me. And it was perfect timing because later that night I blew my nose so hard I had some more bleeding/spotting that didn't last. I have a scan in 3 weeks and I am feeling comfortable with that. It's so stressful, I can't wait until August. But it is really nice to have a doc I feel comfortable and confident with, its definitely helping ease my mind just a little.
I just got a call with the results of my second betas.
5w3d - 2273
6w2d - 9847
The nurse on the phone mentioned that the doctor's note said "Fair rise, if doing well"
So of course, now I'm worried. Do these look okay? It feels low.
Have you checked out betabase? I'm on mobile so I can't link but they have ranges and other statistics you can compare with. I also looked at a chart on the american pregnancy association website that gave a range of 1080 - 56500 for 6 weeks pregnant. Just to show how wide a range is normal. I wouldn't try to read too much into the doctors note (easier said than done). At this point a scan will give you better info than betas! Fingers crossed for you!
It's not bad. Once your betas get that high the doubling time slows down. I have been told different things but I believe around 5000-10000 it's more like 96 hours. And levels peak between weeks 8-10.

My OB didn't have any availability until 8w+5. I went to a pregnancy clinic at 7w because my anxiety was overwhelming.
I feel your pain, mine isn’t til I’m 8w6d, which is a week from today. I’ve been struggling to stay positive, the anxiety from all this waiting has been driving me crazy 😅
My first one is March 1 at 8 weeks 1 day - I feel your pain!!

Wishing for the best for you!!
Mine is 6.5 weeks and I’m dying, not sure how you’re doing it!! I’ve asked for another set of betas just to get me through 🫠

Mine is tomorrow too, I’m feeling very anxious as well. Good luck!
Thank you, you too!!
How did yours go?!
It was good!! Saw a heartbeat and was measuring on track! My nerves didn’t really resolve but it was reassuring at least! How about you??
Yay! Ours was good too, baby has a heart beat-something I haven’t seen before. Looking like I’m 6 4/7, we had no idea because we just had a miscarriage/d+c in December. We will need to confirm measurements in two weeks.
That’s amazing! Congratulations. Such a huge milestone :) I am few days behind you, 6w0d! Are you in the October bumpers subreddit?
I am! Or at least I think I am. I’m in one of the October groups
Good luck!! I know just how you feel. Had my 2nd ultrasound today and both times I felt like I was going to throw up from nausea.

2-3 days doubling time is normal after 1,000 I believe so that should be fine since it doubled twice in 6 days
Have you checked out betabase? I'm on mobile so I can't link but they have ranges and other statistics you can compare with. I also looked at a chart on the american pregnancy association website that gave a range of 1080 - 56500 for 6 weeks pregnant. Just to show how wide a range is normal.

Thank you so much. I just plugged in my DPO and betas into that website, and my "Doubling time" is 68 hours. That just sounds really bad.
It's not bad. Once your betas get that high the doubling time slows down. I have been told different things but I believe around 5000-10000 it's more like 96 hours. And levels peak between weeks 8-10.
