TTC after 35

A Miracle Has Happened!!!!!

I went into my u/s thinking I would be facing an ectopic pregnancy.  My hcg levels have been creeping along for the past two weeks; I have been scared to death.  Well low and behold the RE found a gestational sac!!!!!!  He said that everything is looking as it should for 5w3d and expects to see a yolk sac at my next u/s on Friday!!!  He said he feels very confident that my pregnancy is progressing normally and suspects the reason for the slow rising hcg's was a vanishing twin.

My hcg yesterday was 515 and today it went to 762 w/ P4 of 39!!!!!!  I am finally getting back on track!!!!

I am beyond thrilled, so relieved, and and ecstatic that we can take our vacation to CA as planned.  RE said when I return after Memorial Day we should see our little baby with beating heartbeat.

Thank you ladies for your thoughts of encouragement and support these past couple of days!!!!   I wish you all BFP's and your take home babies soon!

Me, 41; DH 38; TTC since July 2012, 1st round of Clomid, BFP on 10/19, what an incredible blessing!  M/c on 7w3d; D&C on 11/30; 4th round of Clomid 100mg = BFP on 04/19!!! M/c #2 at 7w; D&C on 5/30, then repeat D&C on 7/1.  Saline u/s on 8/2, uterus looks great!  Will start TTC in 09/13 w/ Clomid 100mg. Surprise natural BFP on 8/25!!! Beta #1=95, #2=182, #3=404!  EDD 5/4/13...Grow baby grow!
