So my husband and I have lost 2 babies and 1 possible one. The two that were confirmed were both at my 12 week apt when they went to listen to the babies heartbeat with the doppler. They could not find it both times and then i had an ultrasound right after to see what was going on and there was my baby. no heartbeat and not moving. Both had stopped growing at about 7 weeks. The other possible mc was a very early one if it was indeed a mc. My back started to hurt really badly and then I started bleeding and passing huge clots. went to ER but they said they couldn't confirm it cause it was so early. so that is kind of up in the air. The other two however had good heartbeats at 6 weeks and died a week later. After the last one they confirmed that my progesterone was low. and that was likely the probable cause. we waited about a year and decided to try again. I had my period on march 21st 2012 i started clomid on days 3-7 and then tried using OPK to see when i ovulated but I got confused, so the husband and I just kept trying every other day about. Then a couple weeks later started prometrium to help with my progesterone. A week or so later i took a hpt that came up negative and so I called my doctor to tell her I had not conceived and that i was ready to start the cycle over and try again. she wanted to give me a blood test to make sure. so I went in the next week and had a blood test. she called me a day later saying it was inconclusive that my hcg was 5 and that its in what they consider a gray area so she had me wait a week and do it again. I had another test a week later and it was at 700. she said congrats you are pregnant! she had me come in today for my intake appt and to have an ultrasound. this was just a week and 2 days ago that my hcg was 700. today they could not see anything on the transvaginal ultrasound and said its likely i just conceived very late and am very early. Again they referred to it as the gray area and said we will do another one in 2 weeks to see if my pregnancy progresses. I do not know what my hcg was will find out tomorrow likely. but I am soo nervous about all of this. I cant relax. I dont know whether to celebrate being pregnant or not. They did say my progesterone level was amazing and to keep on taking the prometrium. And I do have pregnancy symptoms. Extremely tired, frequent urination, sore boobs and had been a little queasy in the morning till i get up and moving around but today I have felt horrible all day. Anytime I eat anything I feel so icky. dont know if its nerves or the pregnancy. Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? Im just trying to trust god but my husband and I want this so bad. I will be devastated if we lose another. How can I stay optimistic? Also a little about me im 28 yrs old 5'5 130 lbs, dont drink or smoke and am pretty healthy. Also growing up I never had normal periods only one about every 3-4 months or so am assuming that has to do with the low progesterone.
