Hi Everyone! So I got my first HCG results back today and finally felt like I should do an into here.
My name is Rita, I'm 37 (will be 38 in July) and my DH is 34. We are currently pregnant with our second. Our DD was born in November 13 and if we are lucky this one will be born in Nov 16, so exactly 3 years apart. We have been TTC for about a year and a half and last year we had 3 losses1 (CP and 2 MC's). Needless to say Im still super nervous and only cautiously optimistic at this point. I want to see a good strong heartbeat before I really get my hopes up BUT I had my first HCG done at 15 DPO and it was a good number, so now I just need to see if its doubling appropriately.
Anyway I just wanted to say hi! I hope I get to stick around and get to know all you lovely ladies!
Welcome and congratulations I'm so excited you get to join us over here! PGAL is tough in the early weeks and I'm sorry for your losses, that's a lot for one person to handle in one lifetime. We are here if you need us! Wishing you a H&H9 months!
Congrats and welcome! Glad to see another TTC>35 grad! The early days are always a little nerve wracking especially after loss, but I'll keep everything crossed for you. I've found this to be a very supportive board in my freak out moments!

Hey Rita, congratulations for graduating to pregnant after 35! I have found This group to be extremely supportive and helpful, considering I am a FTM at 37 you couldn't be in a better community
Hi and thanks everyone! I just got my second beta back and the numbers are doubling so I'm very excited! I'm going to get another one done on Saturday just to be sure but this is good news since with my last MC's my numbers were never quite where they should be. Hopefully this means I get to stick around!
