Limbo/Concerns Weekly Pregnancy Limbo/Concerns - December 23, 2024

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)

My anxiety is constant. I am only 5 weeks. I did a Christmas game the other day that involved jumping in place and completely panicked after. I have fully convinced myself that I could have ended this pregnancy by jumping and my progesterone suppositories are just masking symptoms. This is stressful πŸ˜”

Can progesterone create pregnancy symptoms?!? I didn’t even think of this πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ˜«

Yes progesterone symptoms overlap with pregnancy symptoms as progesterone rises in pregnancy. I personally am worried I would be bleeding without the progesterone and progesterone is just keeping everything in. The wait to the first ultrasound has been so tough and I still have weeks to go.

Ugh, I’m sorry! I know the feeling. I wasn’t told that progesterone could mask miscarriage. I have a scan this Thursday and just automatically expecting the worst bc my symptoms have been fluctuating. It’s impossible not to think that way. But I started progesterone this last Thursday at 6+1weeks, so I’ve only been taking it for 4 or 5 days. They didn’t put me on it until pregnancy was confirmed, which was kind of annoying. Hang in there and I pray for the best for you!
