Im out. Started to miscarry Saturday night on my 38th birthday while we were out for tea with everyone. worst birthday present ever.

Best of luck to all you girls and I hope you all have happy healthy babies xx

Dear Taurus - I am so sorry to hear this! Please take care of yourself!

 

[SuzeeQ]

May I join in here? I'm 42 and just found out that I'm pregnant again after a MC and D&C in March. I was about 8 weeks along, but wee one measured only 6. I'm so very cautiously pregnant, and so scared. My progesterone was low the last time at 8 around the 6-week mark, so maybe MC was inevitable.

Currently, I'm 4 weeks and 2 days- got my BFP at the doctor's office when I went in to have a colposcopy. We were trying, but I had just tested 2 days earlier and got a BFN.

Had blood work done last week on Thursday with HcG 88 and progesterone of 20.4, and am currently awaiting a phone call regarding repeat labs I had done Saturday.

Have only shared my news here - not even with my kids yet because of fear. I monitor symptoms like a mad woman, and I wonder if this walking on eggshells feeling ever dissipates.

Anyway- to all on our journeys!

ohh dear ... so sorry to hear about ur loss hugz

 

[mandmandp]

SuzeeQ--congrats and best of luck this time! I hope all goes well.

How old are your kids? I'm not telling mine considering the recent loss and possibility of recurrence. But it seems so strange keeping it a secret too.

My "little ones" are 17 and 15. I told them with the last pregnancy, and they were actually excited to see what happens during pregnancy, which I thought was pretty cool; but then I also had to tell them about the loss as well. I don't like keeping secrets from them, because I normally don't.

How about you? How old are your others?

Oops, just looked at your tickers- silly me. When do you plan on spreading the news?

 

[mandmandp]

Well, my mother and sister are coming into town mid-June and I don't think I can keep it a secret from them. So I think I'll just come out around then to everyone in the family. For everyone else will try to wait until the *magic* 12 week mark.

But even then, there's still the genetic testing...sheesh. It's a long anxious road, isn't it?

Taurus 8484-

It sure is. I had a Dr. appt last Saturday and he changed my due date for the 2nd time. Please someone tell me this is normal. I know that I am 7 weeks and a few days when I saw him and the 1st measurement he took put me at 7 weeks exactly...ok...I can live with that..but then he moved the little wand around a bit more to get a different angle and put me at 6w5d which is wrong. I secretly flipped out thinking that perhaps bean is not as large as it should be. DH tried to calm me down by saying it is all estimates since it is so early.

I have been getting weekly sonos because I am considered 'high risk' which is due to age alone. Although..this last week he gave me the OK to see him 2 weeks out.

In addition the Dr. had the scary convo with us regarding amnio and all the "could go wrongs". I know it's the reality but I just don't feel like I want to face that right now. There is still a way to go and I just want to get through today.


I never knew this was over the hill...even though I feel so young. *Sigh*

Yes; that it is... I am not even allowing myself to think about the 12-week mark yet. This truly is a day-by-day experience for me right now. I'm sure anyone with a loss can relate.

Today, I'm feeling nauseated a little, my boobs are finally a tad sore, and I'm hungry at regular intervals (which normally I'm totally *not*). I think those things are appropriate for how newly pregnant I am, so thinking things are okay for this day.

Hope everyone else is having a typical day!

 

[SuzeeQ]

Celestine- it is, in fact, normal for the due date to be adjusted some. Even then, it may not always be accurate

 

[mandmandp]

Celestine--you are not over the hill! I'm glad you feel young, because you are.

But this reminds me...about labels: I was twenty-three when I had my first, and I was also placed into a high risk category. The teen pregnancy category! For some obscure reason the category went to age 24 at the fancy womens' hospital I went to. Yes, I live in an educated cosmopolitan area where the median age of first-time mothers is 33, but really...23 is not a teenager!

Agree with SuzeeQ, and I'm pretty sure the doctors were wrong with my daughter's due date.

congratulations to all those with good news, but huge hugs to taurus 8484 for your loss

I told my kids at the weekend, simply because I am so tired all the time they thougt it odd that i kept fallign asleep at teatime and I had taken a week off work so think they were getting worried it was something sinister.
It was a huge relief to see their reaction, excitement was an understatement. only now I have four daughters argueing over baby names for the next 9 months!

Fingers crossed it all goes well now.
