Just wanted to check in on you. I am still praying for you and hoping that this comes true for you!

Re: *UODuckBride*
AWWW, thank you! That is so thoughtful. I had my first beta on Friday afternoon which was 12DPO and my HCG was 75.4, (I've had higher, but I have also had lower). My progesterone was 16.4 and they claim that anything over 15 they don't supplement, but I asked for it anyway. I had another blood draw this morning and I will find out how my HCG is rising, (or not) and they also did a TSH, so by this afternoon I will have more info. Again, we have been here before with great betas through 6+ weeks. The next few weeks are going to be tough either way. Just trying to stay calm and go about my business as usual.
How are you?
I was worried about my progestrone level too, it was like 16 the first time, then shot up to 22, then the third time it went back down to 15, I was petrified and my doctor office said they same thing, as long as over 15 they would not give me the supplements. I know it has to be so hard on you emotional to go thru the ups and downs. Like I told my DH it is not fair that the first miscarriage is now making me not get excited over this pregnancy, I wish I could still be that naive girl that thinks everything will be okay! Well I am going to pray for that this is miracle sticky baby and I certainly hope the next two weeks fly by for you.
As for me, well I am hanging in here, I must admit that I am a stress ball about everything. We go back to the doctor on Wednesay for another check up and I am really hoping for another ultrasound, they can charge all me they want, I need the reassurance!
I just trying to hold onto faith that this baby is really meant to be, especially with everything we have been thru thus far! Please keep me updated on you.

Glad to hear you are doing well. For us this is the first time we haven't been really excited. We were a little jaded after the first MC, but we figured it was a fluke and very common and we were still able to be positive with the last one, (we tend to not count the CP since the DR's don't so we were thinking 3rd time is a charm). I think I will just have to take it one day at a time. I'll feel better when/if we see a heartbeat and I might start getting excited after we have all our 2nd tri testing provided the results are positive. I'm just going to have to play it cool until then for me.
Good luck on Wednesday. It sounds like you have a late bloomer that is a little fighter!
Take Care,
Sarah
Butting in...Good news!!!!! I was thinking about you today too & hoping that you were getting good news!!!!
You really are the sweetest, thank you so much! My first MC was unusual and involved bleeding and cramping. It was unusual in that I bled for almost 2 months. There was no tissue that was found via ultrasound and it was suspected ectopic because my numbers hovered around 1000 HCG for a long time. The second two were similar, but I was on progesterone with both and that kept me from bleeding and I really didn't have any cramping with either. The first one we suspect had a chromosomal abnomality because everything looked perfect except there was no heartbeat and betas were over 75000 at 8 weeks even though the baby was gone. The most recent one I believe had trouble implanting because clomid likely thinned my lining, (this is all my supposition), My betas were very low to start and immediately after my second beta we went on a trip. when we came back I asked for a draw and it was right around 600 which I knew wasn't good. we waited for our ultrasound and sure enough same story. So to answer your question. Yes and no, but at this point I don't see not bleeding or cramping as a signal that everything is for sure ok. Thanks again! I'll be thinking of you and hope for a positive update tomorrow!
Oh, and I am sure you already know, but I wanted to tell you that the odds of you being successful this time after your MC are definately in your favor. I know it is scary, but having just one MC and then going on to have a healthy pregnancy is very normal. Recurrent pregnancy loss is the exception not the rule. Take Care!
