Hello...I am so very happy, anxious and feel blessed at the same time. Were do I start, well I found out I am pregnant on Feb 25...(brought an at home test from CVS Pharmacy that night and it was positive) cycle was due on Feb 20, and I thought work stress was throwing things off. I've been very regular all my life (cycle comes on every 28 days), and this is the second positive pregnancy test I've ever had in my life. Note: got pregnant in June 2009, and miscarried in August at 7 wks 4 days. (it was a twin pregnancy - 2 yolk sacs in 1 gestational sac). I was 44 at that time and had basically thought I'd never get pregnant. Hubby and I never used any fertility treatments etc.....just believed that it may happen one day and it day. JOY JOY JOY...I still am so thankful for that time in my life...I just loved the feeling of life inside me. I was overwhelmed with sadness for months immediately after losing my babies...time and believing that God's will was done is what got me through it. And to my surprise it happened again as I mentioned above...pregnant at 46. I'm still taking it all in. Lots of sypmtoms: breast tenderness, nausea, twinges in pelvic area.
Well here's why I'm up tonight, and thankful that I found this site...need support and encouragement now. According to last menstral period, I'm at 6 weeks. Had 1st ultrasound on March 1st (Dr saw me early because of high risk status and prior miscarraige)...showed Gestational Sac at 4mm, not eptopic, and I felt that everything was ok. Saw Dr today, March 10th, and Gest Sac at 9mm, glimmer of yolk sac (popped on screen only once a second). He said I'm growing, but slowly and I'm worried. Sent me to radiology lab for better scan...he said his machine is older than the labs and hoped if would give a better picture. Well it didint...showed my Gest sac at 9 mm also....but no yolk at all..not even a slight moment. I am hurt but trying to be positive...it's hard, cried and slept ealier this evening, and got on the net to read. Glad to find this site and forum...I feel like I fit in here. I am praying that all of us have our hearts desires come true...healthy babies even after 40. I hope my baby's yolk sac and heart beat show in my next scan scheduled for March 17. I just don't understand if where I'm at is normal for now...I feel no cramps and not bleeding, but there's no baby showing in my gestational sac yet. Any experience and/or comforting thought are needed. Thank you so much....
