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 😔

I had sex for the first time since finding out i was pregnant and have had dark brown discharge/blood when I go to the bathroom. I'm hoping it's from the sex, but my anxiety is trying to tell me I have caused a miscarriage. I called my Dr and am waiting to hear back. I hope you and your baby are both well!!! And your anxiety is just fooling you.

Thank you, you too. If it helps you at all when I had my first appointment with my doctor he said you can continue to have sex and that you may have some bleeding after and that’s normal. Hope all is well!
