Thanks again ladies for your support...I don't mean to turn this into the Angel Show! It's just so scary this early on! It really helps to see and hear that others have been through this and have success stories! My scan is at 2:15pm...thankfully I have Pierce to help me pass the time!

Laura ~ How'd Simon like the snow? Living at the beach we don't get snow, well, we don't get it regularly. I'm excited to see P's reaction if/when we get it! I'd love for you to come w/ me today, thank you. I'll just wait for your yacht to pull in...we've a marina close by!

Leslie ~ Are you up all night with the girls or are mornings just tough to crawl out of bed? Thank you for sharing your first tri experience/scares w/ me!

Jess ~ Thanks for checking in. I'll certainly update you all as soon as I know what's going on! I may even keep this thread open to reactivate pocket

:wave: Amy & Bethany

[lilesMom]

Simon liked the snow but he was only in the buggy :-D
I gave him a snowball, he kept dropping it
He wasn't very impressed.

 

[xoxo4angel]

Yes, I'm 5 hours behind you. It's not looking too good...more red. I don't want to go pee anymore

Babies are so sweet...I can just picture him not being interested in the snow ball! Little cutie!

No HB, measuring a week off and I know with certainty when I ovulated They will draw labs and have me come back in next week for another scan. I looked too far forward on this one, let myself day dream too far in to the future. I am sooo thankful for the family I have, this just sucks...39, prob time for me to hang up my OPKs and enjoy what blessings I have!

As always thank you for your support ladies.

PS Looking forward to seeing +ve HPTs for Laura, Amy & Bethany this year!

I'm so so sorry Angel. I hate our bodies and what they do to us. We are all here if you need to talk.
If you feel you don't want to hang up the opks maybe it would be helpful to speak with the doc and see where to go from there?
Thinking of you

 

[A1983]

Ah Angel, im so sorry. I wondered how you were doing and found you on here. It's so hard right now to make that decision but my mum had me at 43. Also as Buttrfly said, your Dr needs to take this seriously-its just not fair, and get you tested/on progesterone/baby aspirin/the works. I would definitely suggest you look into metformin, it's for pcos BUT is used in ivf as improves egg quality and reduces chances of mc. Huge hugs x

 

[aaronswoman79]

I'm so sorry Angel. I just can't understand why this has to happen to women. Its not fair. Is you doc going to look into why this is happening? I wish I could be there to give you a great big hug. So sorry again sweety.

[aaronswoman79]

Wow Laura. 12 kids!! Your mother must be one tough lady to go through 12 childbirths!! How old was she when she has her first baby? I have gone through only 4 childbirths and I'm done. I am almost certain my body couldn't take another pregnancy or childbirth. You have a huge family, must be amazing during the holidays! Full house!!

 

[aaronswoman79]

Big to you Amy. Looking forward to your journey with ccrm and your miracle baby!

 

[aaronswoman79]

Big Angel. You're in my thoughts hon.

 

[xoxo4angel]

Thank you ladies. The Dr wouldn't address the "why" issue because she was stuck on, "...we have an in utero 5 week pregnancy that looks on track." I tried to argue the dates seeing as I know when my OPK was positive. She said knowing when you ovulate isn't a diagnostic for miscarriage. No, but my experience should be!!!! I asked, is there a possibility I ovulated a week after I saw a positive? Her reply was the OPKs are not always accurate (I guess fertility specialist should stop using them) and/or the measurements this early can be a little off. She said, the only true measure is to wait 10-14 days and repeat the scan. I looked at her and said, I guess I'll see you in a couple of weeks, if I make it that long. So here I sit, silently waiting/dreading the inevitable wondering when it will all come to a head, but secretly hoping I am wrong...maybe I ovulated a week later? Maybe OPKs are wrong despite the FIVE times I've became pregnant using them! *sigh*

Laura ~ 12 babies! Fertility is def in your cards!

Jess & Leslie ~ Thank you. I believe I will have a conversation with MY regular Dr about further testing. It can't all really be my egg quality, can it? I prob should have FSH and AMH ran again, it's been 2.5 years...

A1983 ~ I'm glad you came on here, thank you for checking on me. I was going to update on the other thread, but Bazz is due any day and I feel like Debbie Downer right now. Thank you for the info on metformin, I will put that in my notes to ask the Dr about. How reassuring to hear your Mom was 43 with you...let's me think maybe I'm not in as big of a rush to have another as I thought!

I cannot thank you enough for your words ladies

 

[A1983]

No of course not-you have time on your side. Plus my friend turned 40 on giving birth, another nearly 40. I'd say get some tests done, start on some fertility meds including metformin if you choose to, have a holiday/break and start again once meds are all in your system. Any meds affecting egg quality need 3 months to have full effect.

But yes for now it's the wait...you could have had a delayed ov or a late implanter...3 days late ov plus 3 days late implanter is your week late. Any more red? Keep positive-crazy things can happen in the ttc world, and a week early isn't even in the crazy bracket! I just wish I could fast forward 10 days as I know how hard the wait is

 

[bazzb]

Angel inwas wondering how you were also, so I stalked and found you, hope that's okay.

I am so sorry this seems to be happening to you again xx
I pray your dates are just off and Everythjng is okay.

Please don't worry about updating the thread because I am due,all here to support each other here xx take care

 

[mommylov]

Angel, I'm really pulling for you hun. I hope that everything turns out to be ok. I don't remember if I told you or not but my DH's BF's wife (whoa that was a mouth full! lol) was told that she couldn't have children. She got pregnant naturally and went on to have a beautiful and healthy baby girl at the age of 43 as well. 3 years later she went and saw a dr about pains that she had had for years including before she had her daughter. Turns out she had a severe case of endometriosis and had to have surgery to remove everything. The dr looked at her and said "I dont know how you got pregnant let alone carried a healthy baby full term". Point is our bodies are capable of doing miracles things no matter what your age or situation is. These days, there seem to be more and more women having children later in life vs back on the "old days". Sending you massive hugs and love and really hoping for everything to be ok for you and your LO.

Laura - 12 babies?!?! Wowza!!! I agree with Angel in that fertility has got to be on your side.

Hi Jess!!! How are you doing???

Bethany - kisses to you always!

Leslie, going over to your journal now!

Happy Thursday to everyone and hope its a good day for you all!

 

[lilesMom]

Angel can u get Doc to do beta tests 2 days or 3 days apart
Not a definite answer but will give u an idea of what's happening xxx
Faster than second scan too xxx
Any more bleeding?
Hope ur ok Xx
Giant hugs xxx

 

[xoxo4angel]

Thanks for the encouraging words and stories. I love the optimism! DH is flying home now, I'm glad I won't be alone. I'll keep you all posted

Laura ~ The Dr said they could run betas, but because the have an in utero pregnancy the numbers could fluctuate and protocol is to rescan in 10-14 days. I should've insisted for my own peace of mind! I am poas every morning and I believe it has already began to fade...could be my eyes playing tricks on me

 

[lilesMom]

Hope it's just dodgy eyes or tests :-D
Glad dh is coming home xxx
