Weekly Pregnancy Limbo/Concerns - December 23, 2024

[u/AutoModerator]

We created this space to share pregnancy concerns like:

- Beta HCGs that seem low or might not be doubling appropriately

- Concerning ultrasound findings

- Bleeding issues

- Etc

These posts are welcome in our Daily Thread, but this is a specific area to discuss limbo and concerns.

Lets all remember HCG averages, too!
- Under 1,200 mIU/ml: <72 Hours

- 1200-6000 mIU/ml: Between 72 and 96 Hours is average, so <96 is good

- Over 6,000 mIU/ml: >96 Hours is normal, with no known average (so varied)

I've had bleeding multiple times throughout this pregnancy (which is just great on top of all my anxiety). I was referred for an urgent colposcopy because apparently my cervix looked not right. Had the colposcopy a few days ago and they wanted to do biopsies because there were several suspect things on my cervix and it also reacted to the acetic acid they use but are delaying it for a few weeks as baby isn't viable at the moment (22 weeks) and they can't guarantee it won't cause premature labour. So now I'm in this eternal limbo where it looks like I probably have cervical cancer but we can't confirm it for a while because they want baby to get closer to 30 weeks and we can't talk/think about treatment until then and it's seriously messing with my head trying to come to terms with things that may or may not be possible.

On the bright side the baby is doing absolutely fine.
