Pregnancy Info HOME

Not that I should be talking about this yet but I did have a miscarraige in dec and got pregnant again 3 mths later. You can obviously get pregnant so please don't lose hope. I don't know this one still sounds viable to me....Too many positive signs. Keep me posted and try to stay positive! I'll be thinking of you.

Thank u much Sara! I know I am trying to be realistic along with optimistic...I did ask Dr IF it is the worse of my fears...that I would really like to attempt ASAP..I know several ladies that got pregnant soon after a miscarriage...he thought it was a good idea with my age to not waste anytime. That is very encouraging to know that happened for you..thank you for sharing. He did suggest maybe trying a donor egg...that kinda made me feel like he thought mine weren't anygood! Gheesh!..lol. I would consider that option really without a second thought I just LOVE children. My husband however, thinks its too sci-fi and would not even consider. Hopefully if worse scenario and we must make a second attempt at it it will be successful. I am still not giving up on this one yet...not til all hope is loss! I appreciate your support so much!

Hello ladies, we really just have to remember that it is in God's hands. I was 37 when we were pregnant for the second time after a tubal reversal, it was the same week as my 12 week appt. and I started getting dizzy and spotting, I lost the baby. I couldn't understand, it would of been perfect, our little boy would of had a playmate, he was almost 18 months old at the time. I have two older daughters, 22 and 16, with my ex. I just wanted my husband to have more than one of his own, he is such a good dad. Then I went through a thyroid cancer scare, not once but twice, having the thyroid completely removed within the next year and a half. Anyone with thyroid problems will most likely have trouble with getting pregnant and carrying it to term. So it's been 5 years of no birth control, and finally last October I got rid of all the baby stuff, I came to the realization that we were done. WE were actually looking at adopting an older child, we didn't need an infant, we just have lots of love to give. And wouldn't you know it, God laughed at my plans and I'm pregnant at 42, I'm now 15 weeks and things are going good, but I can tell you those first 12 weeks were awful. All the stuff that can go wrong and the risk of miscarriage. But my OB just kept saying have faith in God and it will be okay. That is what I did to the best of my ability and so far so good. I will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers. And if this one doesn't work out, try again!!!!

Thank you so much. The forums and discussions here help me so much since the Drs are discouraging. Sorry it was Vitamins that I was talking about. I am so much worried as to when I will get pregnant again. Thank you farmer's wife for your encouraging words. Chrsitina

Hi Cindy, just checking on you to see how things are going. I hope your doing well, Sara

Hey Sara...well feeling well so far so good I have my next ultra sound tomorrow...praying for good results! I was talking to a girl I work with she told me the first 2 u/s didn't show her baby not til her 12th week did they see the baby and not til 16wks did they see/hear the heartbeat! That would be terrifying she said it was such a nerving time. At least I know someone that experienced it rather then just reading about people that have. Her lil boy is perfect! Hopefully all goes well I will let you know thanks for keepig me in your thoughts! I appreciate it so much!, Cindy

Cindy, good luck today I'll be thing of you and praying hard!!!! Sara

Hey Sara....I didn't have the results I was hoping for. The orginal Dr. I saw wasnt' there so I talked to some Dr who looked 12 with a goatee..lol, they did the u/s and again only saw the sac. The Dr then informs me he doesn't think its a viabe pregnancy. I said "And what are u basing this on, the u/s results?" he just looked at me. Cause I said I wasn't convinced yet. I said "You haven't even checked my hcgs to see if they have stopped or decreased!" He and u/s tech were just looking at me like I was crazy. The Dr then said "Well you don't have to do anything" (a__suming he was talking about the D&C that was already mentioned) I said "Oh I know I am not doing anything, its in Gods Hands" and as of now at only 8wks 5days I am not feeling its unreasonable to think that its still possible that it is a viable pregnancy!" He then scheduled me for bloodwork but advised he was Outta there so he wouldn't be there when it came in"-nice! I said well regardless if u are here or not I want to know my results today! It will be a very long night for me If I dont' have an idea whats going on. I called the resident Dr on staff 5x before finally getting my results at 8oclock friday night...hcgs did not go down, and they didn't stop...They did increase while not a lot they were up though, from 28,900 to 32,250. I have read conflicting info on the increase. I am still within the range for my time frame., just not sure. I read one women within a week she dropped to like 8k and continued to less then 5 in just a lil over a week. I am still hanging in there, this time I am not going back for about 2 wks, again feeling great, not spotting or bleeding. I am still optimistic and faithful....Either way I have to accept and move on, but for now I am waiting it out and not ready to throw in the towel., its awkward though when people are commenting on the pregnancy and such and I can't rejoice in it I just don't know what to say at this point...I am KINDA PREGNANT?...Thank you for your prayers so needed and so appreciated. I am hanging in there and being a tough girl but its gonna be a long road!

I really am sorry to hear things are not going easily for you . It must be very frustrating to be sitting on the ledge all the time. You want to be excited and enjoy your pregnancy but the signs are so confusing, you have to wonder whether modern medicine and technology is always a good thing. Sounds like the last dr you saw was a b___t head! Keep your spirits up and I will pray for you! Keep me posted please!

Yeah it was a rough appt! My husband wasn't able to get off work so my brother went with me he is an LPN it was good having his company. He put me at ease with the Dr's response. He said you have to remember this guy is young and is basing what he knows on what he Read in a book and not so much based on experience to him its black & white no grey area. He said some Drs have tunnel vision and don't necessarily look at all the angles. I am suppose to see him again next week with another u/s but I am canceling with him and going back to my original Dr that I saw plus it will give me more time to be farther along and a chance maybe they will see it. My 100yr old grandma rubbed my belly last week and told me those Drs don't know everything, don't you give up, I think this baby is just perfect...lol. She is such a doll, I said well grandma being that your a 100 have had 10 children and miscarried 3 my guess is you are probably more knowledgeable then some of the Drs I have seen..lol. Just hoping her insight and wisdom is right! Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts! I know theres a chance it can go either way but I have to be patient and strong and hope for the best. When is your next Drs appt? How have you been feeling? I am praying for you as well.

Oh sorry to hear that!! Pix I have seen little beans get missed before! It is possible as long as your numbers are going up. and it sounds like they are. Keep praying. I will keep you in prays!

Thanks Dolly....I am remaining hopeful and faithful. So sad the women I have read about and the ones I have spoken with that have experienced misdiagnoses on the empty sac. if u search for a website misdiagnosedmiscarriages it has a ridiculous amount of women sharing their experiences and its unbelievably sad!

hi Cindy,Good that you are not following Dr's advice since they really have no idea! good job and i really hope & pray that everything is well. Don't do anything and probably that little guy is inside happily living. Good luck, tina

Well I had my Dr's appt today and they tried to find the heart beat with the Doppler stethoscope but he couldn't find it. He told me it's common not to hear it this early but I'm 9wks 4 days. I think I was able to hear a heartbeat around this time with my 2 year old. I am trying hard not to be nervous but I know how fragile things are. My husband says it is what it is and we can't do anything about it. I fully understand that but it doesn't make it any easier. This being pregnant stuff really is hard!!!

Sara, I can understand your concerns and fears, I also have read it's not that uncommon, matter of fact my friend at work didn't see anything but an empty sac until she ws near 14wks and no heartbeat til 16, its knowing people that have experienced situations like this that give me hope! I was suppose to go next week, but I am canceling my appt and pushing off another week, hoping maybe it gives my lil one chance to be seen! I am still having hope...My husband has said the same thing as yours, and like you even though you understand and can be realistic it still doesn't make it easier. I know how hard it is, its like people keep saying things to me, and I don't seem excited, but I am afraid to totally relax because of fear of them not seeing the baby and not being viable. I am 10wks now so hoping by my next appt being closer to 12wks maybe then there will be more answers, still yet the waiting is horrid! I will be praying for you Sara!

I can't believe it...14 wks before she saw anything!! I did go on that web site about misdiagnosed miscarraiges and wow! At least you know your not alone and there's hope. I think your smart to wait another week. Especially when your friend was 14 wks! I'm praying for you too!! Big hug, Sara
