First scan 42 previous losses and heartbeat!

[Blythe]

Im currently freaking out a bit, I cant seem to help myself i just cant stop thinking the wqorst. All my syptoms have dissappeared since friday and i know i should be thinking positive but im finding it really difficult.

It could be your hormones settling down....get yourself down the docs and they will be able to provide you with some reassurance. Often during my first 12 weeks I would feel totally normal and have zero symptoms....I would sometimes check I was still pregnant by taking a test! I'm sure all is well...let me know...x

thankyou blythe for your calming words. I called the midwife and she asked if I had done a test!! I said no because as my hcg numbers are high and have a halving rate of every 48 hours there is no doubt i would still be pregnant! you see I dont really have much faith in 'the professionals' because only a blood test followed by one in 2 days would show them dropping and she didn't know that. Shes very nice but after all this time and hideousness I unfotunately appear to have more negative knowledge. she is going to try and get another scan Ive mentioned the clexane and that if I am about to miscarry I could bleed....a lot so we will see, ive booked a private one for sunday just in case she cant get me one. Got to do it yourself in britain really!

Not very reassuring when you know more than your midwife!! Im sorry you have to go private to get the assurance you need - i do understand your frustration with the medics though as i have been there myself. Have you had lots of symptoms to date?

I posted this a couple weeks ago, in the "CoQ10 Key supplement for older women" thread, then made a new thread in the over 35 TTC with my tips. I'll be 8 weeks in 2 days, so far so good....

"43 years old just got Natural BFP with DHEA CoQ10

Hi everyone,

I'm exacyly 43.7 years young, and I'm so excited to be finally posting (though I wonder if I should be on an over 40 TTC site 'cause I have TONS of tips/supplement advice/what I did differently etc. to share??? I have been trying for a second child for about 1 1/2 years. Just got my BFP 3 days ago, at 12 DPO using FRER and got an instant line almost as dark as control. took 2 more tests w/in a few hours and a digital and it said Pregnant +. digital tests aren't as sensitive. so good HcG!

Going to OB in 2 days to get RX for Prog suppositories to replace the very concentrated Natpro Prog. cream and Progon B caps I have been taking for low progesterone. My OB refused last summer to give me progesterone despite my premenstrual spotting/shorted luteal phases. Prior to TTC at age 42, periods shortened from clockwork 28/29 day cycles to 24-26 day cycles and lighter bleeding/less days. My OB said it's bunk, progesterone won't help me, but IF I somehow miraculously got a BFP at my AMA, she would then give me progesterone suppositories to ease my mind.....

Praying I again defy the odds and don't miscarry."

Ecomama...
Cool yes please stay in touch I need as much support as the next lady. How Los are you then, are you on progesterone? I've been on it for 2 weeks now and I am massive, ive gained fat and bloat like mad I swear I look 16 weeks pregnant.

I'm on Prometrium oral 100 mg 2x/day and makes me soooo bloated/fat!!! Got it at my 6 week appt. My HcG at 6 weeks was 45,622, and progesterone 29.6, but I was basically smearing my whole body in OTC prog cream, MD wanted me on something "real/he prescribed", but fact my #'s good proves it works.

Also, got headaches when I first started Prometrium but they aren't constant now. do you take oral or suppositories and what dose?

Something that I'm experiencing that I didn't have with first is severe lower backaches that wake me up/prevent sleep after only about 5 hours laying in bed. Relief only when sitting up or standing, I'm really tired/grouchy from lack of sleep. Didn't get backache w/DD until I was like 5 months along...hoping this doesn't last

hi im on cyclogest 400mg twice a day as a pessarry but can be used as a suppositary, im used to them they are a bit messy but i wear pany liners and they give me a few cramps.
i also had backache from 6-7,5 weeks but thats gone, most of my symptoms have subsided so i have a scan tomorrow to check all well as progesterone in me holds onto the dead ones too
we shamm see i have managed to curb my panic and am currently feeling sublime!¬

So sorry to hear. Hope they do some investigation as to your recurrent mcs.

I had recurrent investigations on 3 rd miscarriage showed saps which I get treated for. I did all the drugs ec and it still died, so it's old eggs or I was a hideous person in a previous life. Please don't mention god I've kind of given up on him/ her

I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Your loss could be totally unrelated to Saps.
