Results regarding my period being late! Help!

[JustMe]

So I finally got into my obgyn today because of my cycle being all weird and I've been having bad cramps and a few days late for my period. I am pregnant! I am so scared! My last pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage and it is what restarted my hs in September of last year. My face is getting tingly. I've been shaky since I found out. My cramps are like 50 times worse than earlier today! Idk what to do. My dr took a blood test to check my hcg (pregnancy) levels and will test again sunday to make sure they are rising correctly. She said she is going to check with a high risk obgyn to see if I need to do anything else because of me having 2 miscarriages back to back and also a blood clot in a small vein near my uterus after the last miscarriage. She said whatever the outcome is we will work through it and I will be ok. I am supposed to have an ultrasound next friday to make sure everything is in the right spot but I can't stop thinking about blod clots and dying or having another miscarriage or hemorrhaging. I don't know if i can wait til my second blood draw on Sunday. Or that ultrasound on Friday. What if I've been tingly because i have blood clots. Maybe my stomach cramps are blood clots? I went to this appointment expecting to be diagnosed with some type of cancer like ovarian or uterine cancer, definitely not a pregnancy! Any suggestions? Words of encouragement? I could really use them right now...

Thank you. I'm so scared. I just let my mother know and she went into her usual negative/ verbally abusive talk about how awful this is and how could I even think about putting my body throught his again. She was just soooo upset she couldn't even talk to me because I was making her sick to her stomach. (She is the main reason I've had panic disorder since I was 11)

Not to be rude, but screw what anyone else has to say! As long as you’re happy, and your partner is happy, that’s all that matters! Mental and emotional abuse is just as bad as physical abuse! Try to take it easy and keep your head up !

If you are super worried about blood clots just know you can always go to the emergency room and get it checked out. Don’t feel like you have to wait until your appointment. It’s ok to go especially with your past issues. Things happen. Pregnancy happens. I don’t think it was right to put more panic on you, but you are in good hands. Those doctors deal with patients probably just like you on a daily basis they know what they are doing! Your anxiety is most likely making everything worse now that you know what’s going on and that was a traumatic experience for you and if your mind automatically thinks you are going through the same thing again and thats triggering all these symptoms. Just take a deep breathe and talk to someone you can trust and let those feelings of being scared out because you shouldn’t keep it in. It’s ok to be scared. Everyone even strangers are here for you! You’ll be okay no matter what!

Thank you. Yes I agree. I think I will just block my mother's calls (possibly permanently)

Thank you. I will try. It's so hard because last time it didn't work out so well and I was trying to trust my body then...

I’m so sorry. I had two pregnancies and was scared the entire time. When I told my mom the first time, I was so excited and she
said “ there’s a good chance you’ll miscarry”.. (I didn’t)
Whatever happens, you’ll be ok, and everyone is here for you.

Congrats! You’re taking the right steps in testing your hcg and progesterone (I assume). I never fully relaxed during my pregnancies until the 13 week mark. You’ve got this!!! How many kids do you have already? Sounds like you were able to go through your other pregnancies with no issues!

Congrats!!!! Try to relax and have faith. I had two miscarriages before my kids were born. I was nervous throughout both pregnancies. I can relate. You will be fine, as will your baby!!!!

Thank you! I have 8 children. I've had 2 miscarriages back to back one at 5 weeks (not a big deal) and once at 11 weeks (awful) idk why but the dr didn't test my progesterone yesterday so i called her and had her add it to tomorrows test. She said either way she wanted me to take progesterone. I hope my hcg doubles tomorrow but if not at least I shouldn't be very far along at all. I think I would only be about 4 weeks? But my hcg was 260 which I think is low so I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best. I'm scared because of that blood clot I ended up getting after my last miscarriage. Idk how I would know if I have one now or if I should maybe be on a blood thinner? My heart keeps flipping around (pvcs) and i still have cramps so now I'm scared my heart can't handle this!

As long as your hcg doubles, you are golden. With my son I was tested at exactly 4 weeks and mine was in the 200s and it doubled 2 days later. He’s 2 now! I saw in your other posts that you’re hypothyroid as well, make sure they test your tsh . Low hormone can be the cause of miscarriages so I made sure they monitored mine very closely during pregnancies.
