Okay, so I have had 2 miscarriages in the last year and 1/2. My last miscarriage was Feb 18th of 09. My dr told me I could start trying again after a normal period. I had an abnormal period in March, another abnormal in April. And then a normal in May. (8th). we started trying in May. I have not had a period for the month of June, and have not had one for July. If I go by the last period date, i would be 9weeks and a day pregnant. Nothing shows up on an at home test. I'm crabby, tired, my stomach is harder than normal, i can't suck it in anymore. I'm afraid. Both times I found out I was pregnant I went to the dr. and then I lost it within 2 weeks. I want to know, but I'm so scared to be disappointed again. I am having more discharge too, like milky stuff. I was told that's a good sign. I have never had morning sickness, although today I experienced nausea after I brushed my teeth and it hasn't quite gone away yet. What would you do? I know every pregnancy is different, but there has to be someone out there with the same **** as me right? Please help me! I'd appreciate any comments!

I have a good dr in the cities if you need a clinic...  I know what you mean about waiting being so hard.  I'm sorry all your tests keep coming back negavite - so weird.  From what I understand HPT's pick up something like a HCG level of 25 or something.  What has your dr's office said about time - waiting for your period until when or come in for more blood work by when if you don't get your period...?

I wish the doctors around here were more advanced. I might have to go to the cities for further testing...I took a digital test this morning, and it was negative. I'm so frustrated! Something should show up by now! I keep hoping that there's still a possibility that my hormones just aren't showing up on a test, hoping that I could be one of those people who was pregnant and didn't know until 5 months. Or something...Except I know, I just don't have proof. I feel like I'm going crazy, in my head you know. maybe I want it so bad that my body has symptoms but I'm really not pregnant. I would fall to pieces if that were the case. It's so HARD to stay positive with all these dang negatives!

I had a 'chromosome analysis' done on my blood and that's when they found what my problem is and were able to make adjustments (I now take baby aspirin). I did a search on what I have and found: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a rare genetic defect that can lead to complications in pregnancy. Many people do not know that they have this defective gene until after they have had several unsuccessful pregnancies. Others may carry one pregnancy to term and not discover until afterwards that they carry the defect.

Best of luck to you!  Post what the next test says for you- with the first of the morning...

Thank you for your comment! When I had the miscarriage in Feb, they sent my blood to the Mayo Clinic for testing, they tested all the levels in my blood. They said everything was normal. I did a digital test earlier today, however I did not use the first morning urine. So I may try again tomorrow. It said not pregnant. You are so right, it's a big old waiting game!

I had two miscarriages back to back - I freaked out in my dr's office and she sent me to a specialist. After testing it was discovered I have a blood clotting issue for which I take baby aspirin.  I went on to have a normal pregnancy and a healthy son in June 08.  Has your dr done any testing to figure out why you've miscarried?  I'm sorry you've had to go through that.  Right now it sounds like a waiting game...  Eat healthy and get lots of sleep knowing you're doing what's in your power to be healthy in preparation for a pregnancy or to sustain a pregnancy.  When's the last time you did a home test?
