Tentatively joinin.

Hi mamas... I'm going to join here tentatively because I need the support.

As some of you know, I've had a lot of miscarriages, the last four in a row over the past 12 months, and some further along than others.

After struggling with this for months on my own, (because I was unwilling to return to the ob who delivered my last baby, or the one I tried after him, who didn't remember me who I was on Sunday after I had just been in the office Friday afternoon), I have finally found the man of my dreams, so to speak. Lol. He has decided to put me on progesterone suppositories with a blood hcg level of 3, and to start baby aspirin and folic acid with a confirmed heartbeat.

I had blood drawn on Thursday morning (14dpo), and didn't hear back on Friday like I was supposed to. My blood sugar is already wacky, although doing better on the GD diet, except for morning fasting number are around 120.

I don't get a bfp until 6 weeks, so Idk where my blood hcg will be at 4 weeks. Literally km pins and needles here, and afraid to get excited until I start seeing hcg numbers doubling, see the heartbeat, etc, and decided to join because I need the support badly enough to take the risk :-)

I have 2 boys, 3 years old and 20 months old, and 2 foster kiddos 4, and 2. My EDD is August 7, 2013

I'll be tenative with you. I was debating whether to join the ddc, until I saw your post. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I don't want to be all alone in this either.

 

I have a history of early miscarriages (usually at around 7 - 9 weeks). I am taking progesterone to try to get my non-fertility related PCOS symptoms under control, and shouldn't have been ovulating....but I have a BFP to prove otherwise. I would LOVE more kids. Mine are 14 and 11, and I haven't make it into the second trimester once since dd was born. Right now, I have a due date of August 8. If this one sticks, it should be more like the 20something-th, though, because my stickies are extra sticky and don't come out till a couple weeks after their due dates. lol

 

Right now, I'm terrified. I'm on an increased dosage of progesterone to make the babe feel EXTRA wanted, and am on bed rest because even low levels of exercise encourage my uterus to start practicing for the big event.

I am sorry you didn't hear from the clinic on Friday. I hope the progesterone helps you. I swear that I would not "get" pregnant without it let alone carry to term.
