Hi all, I haven't been here in quite a while.
I have a 3 year old that we got pregnant with the month I went off bc and had a relatively normal and easy pregnancy. In Aug 2010 I got pregnant again but this ended in a d&c, I kept having ultrasounds every few days and we continually only saw the sac. It was such an awful few weeks. I was diagnosed with an thyroid autoimmune disease right after which I assumed was the reason I couldn't stay pregnant. Then just last month (August again!) I got pregnant and was so excited, I had a much better feeling than I ever did last year but after just 7 days I miscarried at home.
A month later when I still had not gotten my period a took a pregnancy test and it was positive!!! I am shocked, mostly because I had just had the miscarriage. I got my BFP on 9/22, I think I maybe o'ed on 9/12 or so.....my dr ordered beta's this past week on Monday my number was 90 and on Wed it was 113 (or maybe my hopeful thinking is she said 130 and I heard it wrong!)
The nurse said NOT to panic and that my OB just thinks I am really early still and they do not always double in the beginning. I am having my blood drawn again today but have to wait all weekend.These numbers are not good right?
I cant help but feel like this is going to end bad, we want another child in such a bad way but I'm not sure how many losses I can handle. Its hard since I have not told anyone in real life yet......thankgoodness for these boards! I do have a few symptoms, mostly just sore boobs and tired, the normal slight cramps, no ms which I had so bad with my son. I wish I did have ms as maybe it would make me feel better.
Sorry for being so long, just wanted to say HI and I am thankful for all of the posts!

Congrats on the BFP! I agree, feeling anxious is completely normal after you've experienced a loss. I'm sure all of us can relate. Keep the faith and good luck with the increasing betas! Sending lots of sticky baby dust :-)
Totally understand your anxiety; you've had a tumultuous 12 months! Best of luck and lots of sticky baby dust!
