I’m 5w4d today. It’s an IVF Pregnancy, and I’ve had two previous losses and no live birth. It’s also been a really tough journey to even get to this pregnancy.

I had strong initial betas, and my clinic won’t do any more - they said there’s no more useful information they can give, and I’m best to wait til my scan. My last beta was about a week ago now.

Apart from fatigue, I have no real symptoms at all.

In my previous pregnancy, I was feeling queasy on and off from 5w. I’m so nervous that my lack of symptoms is a bad sign. My first scan isn’t until 7w1d!

Should I be worried?

Hi all,

I am currently having weekly ultrasounds for a 1 week discrepancy in dates and baby is growing well since the first scan, measuring had a scan last week that saw a baby growing well at 6.6mm (6w4d) and having a heartbeat of 115bpm.

No one said anything to me and it wasn’t in the ultrasound report at all, but looking at the photos, there is a large mass in the gestational sac! It looks bigger than the baby. From what I can gather, the internet seems to think it’s a chorionic bump.

My question is, has anyone had one of these before? Was their doctor concerned? I read about increased risk of chromosome issues and miscarriage, which has now added to my concern about measuring 1 week behind.

why on earth did the ultrasound tech not report this? It’s so obviously in there on the pictures.

Thanks in advance. I am stressing out now even more than I was

I am 12 weeks pregnant after a 21 weeks pprom loss. This pregnancy I have a fundal placenta and i was reading a bit about it when I came across a research which says that having a fundal placenta increases the risk of pprom. This has literally freaked me out. I don’t want to go through another loss.
Did any one of you had a fundal placenta? What was your outcome in that pregnancy? Did you deliver early ?

We are considering putting a cervical stitch this time around at 14 weeks .
But i have a fundal placenta which in itself is a risk for pprom as the weakest part of membrane is near the cervix.
People who got a stitched placed and had a fundal placenta what was your experience. Did it help you ?
What precautions should I take, should i skip the stitch.
Please help ease my mind.

Currently 6w1d and have been taking NAC since before my positive test. ( Started in June ) but has anyone continued taking it throughout the first trimester and had a successful pregnancy? This is the farthest I’ve made it in a pregnancy and I’m wondering if I should stop taking it?

I recently had an abdominal scan at 6w4d but I was measuring 6w6d and the fetal heart rate was measured at 145. Is there any way that can be right? From everything I’ve seen that seems pretty high for how far along I am? I know it being slower than normal is a red flag but is it also concerning if it was that high?

There’s a very distinct smell of period blood that’s sat for a bit. Like a pad after using overnight or changing it after it’s sat for the longest length it can. It’s just an extra metallic-y smell. My discharge smells exactly like that right now. I’m taking vaginal progesterone & I’ve read it can have a smell but I’ve seen multiple people describe it as a hamster cage smell. That’s not what this is, it smells like blood & overall a strong metallic smell. I’m 5w6d today & with a history of loss even the smell of blood is making me freak out I guess. No bleeding or spotting. No concerning cramping. Has anyone had this ?

Has anybody ever had success stories with low beta ? I am going through IVF. I took a blood test yesterday and beta was only 20.7.

Last pregnancy was chemical with similar. I’m expecting it to be chemical again, but I feel sad as it’s been a hard road. I just wanted to know if there are stories out there of positives.

Supposed to be 7 weeks pregnant today - LMP was August 29, did not diligently track ovulation but typical cycle is 28-30 days.

Found out I was pregnant at 3wks 5 days, first pregnancy

Yesterday went to hospital for peace of mind as I had two days of light spotting with cramping more on my left side. Hcg rose from 6000-9000 in 3 days.
Ultrasound(abdominal and transvaginal) showed an empty gestational sac in the uterus measuring 12mm or equivalent to approx. 5 weeks gestation. Also showed a small subchorionic hematoma.

Is there any chance this isn’t a blighted ovum?! I don’t understand how I could possibly be 5 weeks.
The NP didnt seem to even know what that was and said this was normal for 5 weeks. However I don’t believe I could be 5 weeks. I think I’ll be following up with a repeat ultrasound in 1-2 weeks and mostly mentally preparing for a loss. Any one have any similar experiences? Any positive?

Also does this mostly rule out any possibility of ectopic? My left ovary wasn’t properly visualized in the imaging.

I just noticed quite a bit of stretchy, mucus like discharge when I wiped. It was mostly clear with a very faint yellow tint and had a stringy, stretchy consistency.

I remember experiencing something similar during my last missed miscarriage, around the time my baby’s heartbeat stopped. Now I’m feeling really anxious that this discharge could be a sign that something is wrong with my current pregnancy.

I’m paranoid it’s a mucus plug and sign of a miscarriage?

Has anyone experienced this type of discharge in early pregnancy? Is it normal, or could it indicate a problem?

I ovulated on the 26th of September so I am 21 days post ovulation. I took my first HCG blood test on Monday at was 72, Thursday I was at 100 and today 123

My OBGYN shared they look for 49%+ so I’m trending much more slowly but still rising. I’m aware of the warning symptoms to look out for but haven’t experienced any yet.

Looking for positive stories/outcomes and community but also realism.

I had an early pregnancy loss at around 5 weeks (chemical pregnancy) on September 23, with bleeding for about 3–4 days. My hCG was confirmed through a blood test to have returned to negative that same day.

About 3 weeks later (2 days ago), I had a faint positive pregnancy test at the ER. My home pregnancy tests have been negative so far (I’ve only taken two), so I’m feeling confused and cautiously hopeful. My doctor thinks it could be a new, very early pregnancy, but I’m still waiting for more clarity.

I haven’t had a period since the loss, so I’m also unsure exactly when I might have ovulated. I know it’s possible to ovulate before your first period after a miscarriage, but I didn’t expect to be in this situation so soon.
Has anyone experienced a faint positive just a few weeks after a chemical pregnancy, especially after hCG had already returned to negative? Did it turn out to be a new pregnancy? How did things progress, and how long did it take for your home tests to become positive?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences, especially from anyone who has been through something similar. Thank you! ❤️

Hey yall. Did any of u have cramping on one side. I am worried it can be an ectopic, or am I just overthinking?. I remember with my first kid, I had like a pulling feeling all the time on my left side, but not a cramp.
