Q: Anyone With Any Thoughts Or Advise?

I had my first ob appt today, and as per the Dr. I am 5 wks 6 days pregnant, I have been spotting since sunday, they did an ultrasound and said they didn't see the sack. They said it could just be to early or that the egg was just an empty egg that fertilized. They did some blood work and scheduled another appointment for thursday to repeat the blood work. They also started me on progestrone. I am 40 years old and some people have said that my harmone level may have been low because of my age and I may not have been developing as fast as I should and now that I have started progestrone, things might all be ok.

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, they would greatly be appreciated.

From what I have heard, woman 40 and over have more complications in pregnancy then younger women, so thats probably all it is... As long as the problems are taken care of, you have nothing to worry about... Any time you feel somthings wrong, you should go to the doctors... Just to be safe.... And congratulations!!!
