Holy moly.

Okay, so, let me fill everyone in.

I had a miscarriage june 7th or so. I didn't have it confirmed until july 6th at what would've been my 2nd prenatal appointment. They said everything checked out &i was completely healthy &everything was ok besides the fact that i'm rh negative &had to get a rhogam shot the next day. They also took blood at the time of the rhogam shot just to take a look at everything.

Well, the nurse called me on july 11th &said that my hcg level was at 13, which was odd considering it'd been over a month since my miscarriage. So she said they just needed to take blood in a week to make sure the level went back down to zero.

So I went in yesterday, they took my blood, &blah blah blah. Went out to breakfast with boyfriend, slept all day, went to bed that night, whatever.

I wake up this morning &take a shower. When I get out of the shower I have a missed call &a voicemail from the nurse at my doctor's office. I called back, &the nurse was like "hi, kristina! It's jae lynn from Dr. Pagadala's office. The restults of your bloodtest are in &we were expecting your hormone level to go down to zero, but um, it looks like it jumped up to 7000." &i was like "holllllyyy caca." hahahaha. So she tells me i'm either pregnant or we have big problems. So I scheduled an ultrasound for monday morning.

&i took a pregnancy test after that, &the pregnancy line showed up even before the control line.

I didn't even have a period after my miscarriage. Which wasn't even 2 months ago.

I guess the point of this is i'm in complete &utter disbelief.

&i'm really nervous. I want everything to be normal, &especially want it to be healthy.

Are there any risks or does this pregnancy have the potentional to be any less unhealthy than if I had waited a few cycles? This was completely unplanned, &i got pregnant before I even had the miscarriage confirmed.

I'm just so scared- I want everything to be perfect for this pregnancy- considering I am in fact pregnant, &there isn't some huge scary problem at hand here.

Yes, I had my miscarriage confirmed july 6th.
But it happened in .June.
My hcg level is 7000 now. Which means .I'm about 5wks?
But we'll find out for sure what's going on on .Monday.
It seems so far away, .I can't wait, lol.

Yea girl, after a miscarriage, you're fertile mertyl!!!

Apparently something was wrong w/ the other baby and .God didn't want it to continue on a suffer. So, in return for your loss he blessed you w/ another angel!!

Think of it as it was done for a reason and now instead of grieving you can feel at peace!!

Congratulations girl!!!

Thanks .Sandra &.Sarah! :)

i actually just did some research on my calender. Which was pretty interesting &almost funny.

Let me lay it down for y'all.

I started bleeding in early .June. Which .I'm assuming means the actual baby died directly prior to then, right? Or during that time that .I bled. Hcg normally only takes 2wks to leave your bloodstream after a m/c. But .I remember .I got a negative preggo test a day or two before .I even stopped bleeding.

On my regular cycle, my period would have started .June 25th [my periods are very regular]. Meaning .I would've ovulated... I'm assuming anywhere in between the 11th &the 18th [maybe even a little later]. I know for a fact .Chris &.I had sex at leat once during that time. Not even knowing or thinking that .I could be ovulating again already. It was the only time[s] we did that month. No period come .June 25th, obviously.

What would've been my 2nd prenatal was .July 6th. Miscarriage confirmed. Bloodtest rhogam shot on the 7th. Got a call from the nurse on .July 11th that my hcg level from the 7th was 13. Did some research, the normal hcg level in the 1st week of pregnancy is 0-40something. In the 2nd week, 5-400something. They ordered another bloodtest for the 20th. Got a call from the nurse on the 21st. My hcg levels rocketed to 7000. Making me, dun dun dun, about 5 or 6 weeks pregnant [according to the range of normal hcg levels during pregnancy].

I counted back 3 or 4 weeks [gotta remember the 2 weeks you aren't actually pregnant are in the picture] &ta-da. Right around the time implantion would occur.

It all could be a little off, 'cause it's possible that the m/c whacked out my cycle by a few days.

But does that make sense?

I couldn't help but laugh when .I added it all up.

I seriously .C.A.N.N.O.T. W.A.I.T for .Monday.

Lol, .I'll have to search around &find it. I'm guessing .I'm about 5wks. It's hard to say though when .I don't have a lmp or anything to go by except my hcg levels, which aren't always too reliable.

Tomorrow is fastly approaching!
I'm seriously like, counting down the hours.
I'm soo nervous.
