TTC after 35

Sooooooo Im back

Hey Everyone, 

So looks like I am miscarrying.  At 7W3D I went for a first ultrasound and was only measuring 6W1D with a very slow heartbeat. I had betas done last Thursday and Saturday and both were very bad and this morning I woke up to cramping and a pretty medium flow. I was supposed to go in for a second ultra sound next Thursday but I don't even see the point. I think my doctor wants me to do betas again on Monday but I have work and don't really want to take time off for it. I think Ill just go next Saturday for the labs since they will just confirm what I already know is happening. Anyway just wanted to say that I am back and while disappointed and sad not totally depressed. I guess it just means we have to try again :-)

  • So sorry you are going through this and for your potential loss, but I have to say I really admire your positive attitude and strength to keep moving forward. It's inspiring. Hugs.

  • So sorry you are going through this.
    I would still go for the follow up sono on Thursday still. My doctor told me to keep a pre scheduled sono after my first loss to make sure everything had passed. The betas you can definitely hold off on but you don't want any retained tissue.
    Losses just suck and I'm sad you have to go through this.

  • Thanks everyone! My doctor said we can wait to see how the bleeding goes. If it stops in a couple days no need to go in but if it doesn't then that might indicate not all the tissue was cleared and I'll get an ultrasound to be sure. I'll be careful and definitely get the scan if anything seems off. :)
  • Very sorry for you, dearie.
  • oh no.  I wish I could give you a hug. Im so sorry.

  • So terrible. I'm so sorry  but so proud of you for handling with such dignity.  Don't forget to take care of you. 
    If it's any consolation, my OB told me to have 1 cycle before trying again and that we'd be more 'fertile' for the 3 months following MC. 
    Good luck to you and prayers for healing.
