Tisiphonie, hahah it didnt last that long...i m in the exact same boat...i ve been freaking out now that maybe it's a mmc and i have no clue...i guess we'll both have to get to the next hurdle freaking or not freaking out one way or another! I still havent bought a doppler, i think i might wait until the 12 week hurdle! But i sure hope you fing the hb on your soon, this way you can tell me where to look!!!

Thank you all for your kind words and sweet thoughts. I am always up for a miracle You have all been a life saver!!!!! I mean that.

After thinking about why my OB would wait for 10 days to do a repeat U/S and ordered betas, it occured to me that this is standard protocall for diagnosing a blighted ovum.

I really am okay with it, althought of course, I would much rather this be a normal, uneventful, healthy pregnancy!!

As far as what could be done in the future, my OB has been pretty unsympathetic. I have had five successful pregnancies and have four living children....the last of whom is my 2 year old DS. I also happen to be of advanced maternal age. During my last MC, while I was having labs drawn, I told the nurse I knew I would be okay and my OB chimed in with, "She already has beautiful babies at home." (Okay, so yes, I wanted to punch her out at the time.)

We really want to give our youngest a sibling closer to his own age to grow up with. Boy!!! How I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I SO wouldn't have waited until I was 40 to have another!!!! Would have done it much sooner.

Anyways, I have not looked into if our insurance covers infertility treatments, but maybe I should. I just have an idea that with the probs I have had in the past, I probably have high FSH and would have to find an egg donor, and I really don't want to go there, because of the costs involved.

So, that being said, I think I am going to pray for a few good eggs.

Aw, bee, you sound so strong. Regardless of how many kids you have or want, your doctor doesn't need to be making statements like that! Kids are not interchangeable! I loved my OB/GYN, but after my two miscarriages and the way the staff treated me, I won't go back.

I would definitely see what your insurance covers. Mine covers infertility if you're unable to get pregnant for a year, or 6 mos. if you are over 35. Actually, it would have kicked in next month for me, if I hadn't gone and paid for fertility treatments out of pocket. (I just couldn't wait.)

And, I mean, without testing there is no telling what's going on. I think my problem was a progesterone deficiency, but we're not sure. If your eggs are ok and other hormones are out of balance, there is a lot they can do to help with that. Don't give up hope yet, not until you have some answers!

I have two kids and I am expecting to complete my family with this pregnancy. I hope you have a chance to give your youngest the sibling you're hoping for! Just because you have kids doesn't mean you shouldn't want more. I'll be praying for you to have some awesome turns in this path you're on. Please keep us updated, because we care about what you're going through!

No luck with the doppler. I'm trying to remind myself that the midwife didn't find the hb with my first until 12 weeks and I'm only 9+4, but it's not working. DH isn't worried. I wish I could be as calm!

Bee - Still thinking of you and giving you lots of hugs and happy thoughts from afar. You may want to try taking CoQ10 which is a supplement that helps egg quality. I tried it starting a few months ago and got pg on it with this pg and so far so good. Much cheaper route than an egg donor. Still holding out hope for you though!!

Hey! Thanks. I didn't know any suppliments existed for this. I am going to google it.

Hello ladies. I've checked this thread out a couple of times and finally feel brave enough to join.
I had an ultrasound at 7+3 and was so relieved to see a bean and a healthy heartbeat. Now, three weeks later, I'm still nervous that something has/will go wrong. When, if ever, will this fear go away?!?
I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Hey Anna purna! Welcome! And congrats on your pregnancy! That is a fear of mine, I'll go in to my ultrasound on the 16th and see everything is healthy and still be freaked out. Right now all I can think about is the reassuring ultrasound, but then what? You know? I already have a Doppler, but thank goodness I am living out of a hotel in the middle of a relocation and my stuff including the Doppler is in storage. So we should close on a house by the end of the month and I'll have access to my Doppler again, by then I may be able to pick up in my baby's heartbeat on my own. We'll see.

So what are everyone's symptoms right now? I was having cramping in the mornings and nausea and fatigue in the evenings. But it switched today and I had nausea this morning and no cramping at all, but fatigue all day. Having a 2 year old doesn't help much with the fatigue either lol, love her half to death though! "Mama, you okay? Mama, your tummy hurts? Mama, can I kiss it? It feels better!" Such a good girl!

Cravings anyone?

I wanted grapefruit, which I have never liked. And today I wanted pb and jelly sandwiches with s'mores. Lol

I am still holding out hope for you for this pg, but you should also look into wheatgrass, as it is known to lower FSH.

Pitakit - so glad your scan went well

beeahappy - I really hope it was just a case of your tilted uterus blocking the picture and everything goes well at your next scan xx

Tisiphonie - Thanks hun my m/s is still there but its starting to calm down now Sorry you couldn't find a hb with your doppler im sure its just because your too early xx

Anna Purna - Welcome and congrats on your pregnancy. So sorry for your previous losses

Ive gone from being worried about miscarrying to freaking out that they won't find a heartbeat when I go to my 12 week scan now

Hi, Anna Purna! I am glad you have gotten brave and decided to join us! I still have some fear but I don't usually get much time to get completely worked up about it. I just keep those appointments and scans as milestones in my head and focus on getting to the next one. If I try to look all the way forward to the end of the pregnancy, I'll drive myself crazy.

nostress, your cravings sound like heaven to me!

kaboom, sorry you are feeling worried. I hope the time until the next scan goes quickly and you get some more reassurance at that point. Just think, if they see the heartbeat at 12 weeks, then you'll be past the first trimester and the fear can be reduced, at least some!
