So Far So Good.

May 20, 2008 04:06PM - 1 comments

6 weeks, 4 days today.  So far so good I guess.  I am completely obsessing though about every little thing. Mothers day I had some bright red bleeding that sent me into a total tizzy...I was freaking out.  But it was just a bit, no clots, no tissue, no cramps.  Called OB next day and they said probably nothing at all to worry about, but to call again if it happened again.  Had my ultrasound on the thursday after at 5W6D, and bummed there was no heartbeat.  This is so scary....and sac was measuring 3-6 days behind.  That scares me because last pregnancy that happened as well.  But, I keep reminding myself, I had spotting and cramps from day one that time, and nothing like that this time.  Next ultrasound is June 13th...I will be 10 weeks.  I hate to wait that long, but at least at that ultrasound I will know absolutely for sure if this pregnancy is viable or not.  There will be none of that "come back next week" rollercoaster ride I was on before.  I just want July 4th to get here...thats the end of 13 weeks, and completely and totally through first trimester.  Then I can really relax and enjoy.  Come on little bean, you stay where you belong.  Mommy & Daddy want you soooo badly.

I just joined this site. Congratulations on this pregnancy and its success thusfar!

My story doesn't seem much different than most. I am currently trying for my 2nd child. The first one was hard enough, but this go around is hard.

I have PCOS so I don't ovulate naturally. The last time, I was on provera and cholmid for 8 months. During that time, I became pregnant 3 times. Each time, I miscarried between weeks 6 and 9. It was difficult. After the last one, my doctor sent me to a different specialist. As part of his work-up, he did an ultrasound and found out I was pregnant again. He said it must have been because hormones run high right after pregnancy. He also said that miscarriages happen more often in women with PCOS. He had me use a vaginal cream, inserted daily for the first 13 weeks of pregnancy. It was progesterone 10% gel. Messy, but it worked. My daughter was born when I was 29.

I am 35 now and we are trying for another one. This time, I am having strong side effects to the chlomid---dizzy, blurred vision...And after 4 months, I haven't been pregnant once. Saw my dr today and he wants me to try provera and letrizol. Can't find much on it. Have you heard of it?
