Pregnant after a Loss

Tentative introduction

I was going to wait to introduce myself, but I don't have many people to discuss my fears with at this point (just DH and a close friend).  I got pregnant in April right after an HSG  (9 months of trying).  Sadly, that pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 5 weeks.  I ovulated two weeks after my miscarriage and, well, here I am again.  Another BFP at 11dpo.  I don't feel excited though, I feel like the same thing is going to happen all over again. Especially since I'm advanced maternal age (37).  I know this is a common feeling to have, I wish I could get past it,  it's just causing a lot of preoccupation in my mind right now.

    @createillumination thanks for checking in....slowly but surely moving along.  I started having terrible heart palpitations so I called my OB.  They sent me to my PCP and ordered betas.  Beta yesterday was 470, right on track for 4 weeks, I have a repeat on Thursday.  Heart palpitations just turned out to be pre-ventricular contractions (not a huge concern) my PCP ordered labs to see if he can find out a cause.  I'm still nervous but a little relieved to have a good start with the beta. I think I'll tiptoe back onto the pregnant after 35 board once I pass the 5 week mark.

    Fantastic start! All the fingers are crossed for you!! wishing you the very best!!! Sorry about the palpitations, pregnancy hormones do strange things to the body. 
  • I'm glad your beta was right on track and that the heart palpitations were not a huge concern. FX for H&H 9!
