Update 44 and pregnant naturally!!

[selaiwa]

Today I am 8 weeks 2 days pregnant.Most of you know my story but for newbies: I am 44 years young and had been ttc for over  8 months after having 3 miscarriages. I have tried clomid but it didn't work for me It just gave me hostile mucus. So I went with natural remedies such as Vitex ,Folic Acid,and Evening primrose oil to increase cm. After 1& 1/2 months I got my BFP !! So far so good!   I have had a slight bump in the road as you could say. For the last 2 weeks I have been spotting brown. There is no cramps at all and my Dr. is not too worried because my levels are still rising normally.My last Hcg was 7890 and progesterone was 24 at 6 weeks 5 days. I remember from my last miscarriage that on the U/S they saw 2 fibroids in my uterus. This might be what is causing the brown(old blood) spotting. I get my fist U/s done on this Tuesday at 10:00 AM. I will let you know what they find.I am praying for a heartbeat!!

How did the last ultrasound go? Just wanted to know I was thinking of you and saying a little prayer.

I'm not giving up on you yet.  I'm still praying for a miracle for you.  From the beginning, I've just had a feeling that they've made a mistake somehow.  I just hope so much that that's what happened.  Wishing you the best tomorrow.  Take care.

Good luck Debbie - I'll be thinking of you.  I know how it is to hope for a miracle -  I'm so nervous for you - feel a lump in my chest/throat .  You're in my prayers -  keep strong - waiting to hear your news tomorrow.

Update-
  My hcg levels are still rising after being diagnosed with a missed miscarriage.
On Nov 10th the day of my ultrasound my hcg was 53,394.
On Nov 12th my hcg rose to 66656.
On Nov 16th my hcg rose again to 85284.
My doctor wants me to get another Ultrasound but this time at the hospital by a radiologist.
   I have had brown spotting and some slight cramping in my lower back so I am not expecting a miracle. But atleast I can find out what is going on and finally get some closure.

I have pretty much came to terms with my loss but,I just wish my body would just let go and let me get on with my life.

I'm glad your doctor is not too worried about the spotting and that your numbers look good.  Good luck on your u/s this Tuesday - we're all praying for you to see that heartbeat !  Will be looking out for your results.  Take care of yourself and don't stress too much - I know its easier said than done - but try.
