I know it's so very hard in the face of this uncertainty and something that is your wish and your heart and your love, but I hope you feel our warm thoughts and prayers for you!!! :beat

I think Sara said it perfectly. I'm not really a praying person, but my thoughts are for you and the health of your baby, for positive news on Monday, and for you to have the strength to get through this stressful time.:hug
 
Hi Ladies,
Your thoughts and prayers mean so much to me! I went to the dr today and had bloodwork and an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed a gestational sac in my uterus. The good news is that means this isn't an ectopic pregnancy! The bad news is my dr is still really worried about this pregnancy not being viable. My hcg (pregnancy hormone) still isn't rising at the rate it should be. This often indicates there is a genetic problem with the baby and the pregnancy won't progress. The dr was really negative and left me with little hope although there is still a possibility for this baby. There have been women with worse hcg levels than me who have had successful pregnancies. I know the odds are against me right now. I go back for another ultrasound on Friday and they are hoping to see that the sac has grown and hopefully with a little luck there will be a yolk sac. If it isn't asking to much please continue to keep me in your prayers and keep sending positive thoughts. I'm at a loss of what else to do to make this turn into a happy story. If there is a genetic problem nothing I do can fix it. This whole situation hurts so much. Thanks to all of you for your extreme kindness. This is truly an amazing community. If I have an update on Friday I will post it. Thanks again! <3 Roni
 
You continue to be in my prayers Roni. I hope that Friday goes well. In the meantime, hang in there.
 
You continue to be in my prayers sweetie... and please try to stay positive... I've said it before, my numbers were always low and slow and I have 3 babies w/o any genetic problems... Keep your chin up, it's still really early.... the drs always go by what's average, so some some babies develop faster and some babies take their time, mine always took their time and the drs always wanted me to do genetic testing because they were so slow... But by 20 weeks they always caught up :)

This testing is always the hardest part for me, which is why when we got pregnant with our third I didn't go for the bloodwork until I was seven weeks because I just couldn't handle the negativity from my drs... of course they told me I wasn't as far along as I thought, but then he caught up by 20 weeks just like my others...

(((hugs))) and continued prayers

Along the lines of what Heather was saying. I had trouble getting pregnant too and so my doctor wanted to run some blood tests to know how to proceed. When I went back to get my results, he told me that I would not be able to get pregnant without fertility treatment. Little did he know (or me) but I was already pregnant at the time. Doctors do not always know the answers. So ignore his negativity and be happys that you are pregnant. {hugs and prayers coming your way}
 
Oh dear Roni. I know that you were hoping for some more solid positive news so not hearing positivity from the doctor is dampening your hope. Please know I continue to hope with you. Holding you in prayer that Friday is more encouraging! Stay as strong as you can! ((hugs)) :beat
 
My little one is suffering with a cold right now and she had a really bad night last night. I don't even remember what time it was because it was so late and I was so tired lol but I got up with her to rock her because she was fussy and as I was rocking you came to my mind and I rocked and I prayed for you. Praying for some positive news for you on Friday.
 
Roni...I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!!! I'll be travelling later this week, but I'll be checking in.
 
Good to hear an update Roni, so sorry your doctor was so negative. I think they just hate to get a Mother's hopes up, but like the other girls have said the tests don't always mean what they think they do! Keep your hopes up and I will pray for your week to go good and for better news on Friday! HUGS!
 
I was thinking about you over the weekend, hoping for you. And I'll keep on hoping for you and the baby! Stay strong and keep positive!
