Pregnancy After 2 Misscarriages... Scared Posted: 09-14-06 15:45pm
I have had two miscarriages this year.
Both were discovered by ultrasound, the
first one showing the pregnancy stopped
progressing at 9 ½ weeks and the second
one at 10 weeks. Both times I had no
symptoms besides mild cramping and a bad
feeling. I have had one healthy
pregnancy (she is now 4 years old) with
the only complication being hyperemisis.
So, now I am (according to my last period)
6 wks 3 days pg. I took the home test on
sunday and went straight to my doctor
monday morning. He immediately started
me on progesterone suppositories, told me
to take a baby aspirin every day, had lab
work done, and scheduled an early
ultrasound for wednesday (yesterday). I
went yesterday and the ultrasound barely
picked up the embryo (dating the pg “way
earlier” in the tech’s words) and my
hcg levels were low. The doctor said it
could just mean it was earlier than we
thought and sent me for another blood test
today and scheduled me for another
ultrasound next wednesday. He said with
the results combined we should have
definitive answers on wednesday.
Okay... So help... I am new here and I
need advice. I feel sometimes like no
one wants to give it to me straight. Is
this probably another miscarriage? Could
it be related? Could it be chance? Is
there a chance it is coincidence? Also I
have had mild cramping and not many
pregnancy symptoms (no nausea, no tender
breasts, no more tired than usual). Any
opinion on my odds, situation... Anything
else I can be doing? Any advice, on how
to make the waiting easier?
