Heidi-I have 2 kids.A 8 year old and a 4 year old.I am really anxious to go to the Drs tomorrow because now I am really wondering if I really DID m/c.For the past 2 days I have started getting ALOT of pg symptoms that I didn't have before.My DH keeps telling me that he still thinks I am pg and I completly disagreed until I started having all of these symptoms.Alot of low back pain,abdominal cramping(not painful just feels like a contraction),the WORST headaches of my life and I have been nauseous and throwing up for the past 3 days.When I went to the ER my hcg levels were 2.But tonight I read that for how far along I was it should have been 3-426.I'm wondering if it was just early to test.On the U/s they saw my uterine lining was thickened so there was evidence of pregnancy.So I am gonna have them do another blood test tom too.So wish me luck and I'll let you know what I find out!!Take care guys!

Mary-sure you can ask me anything!I BD'd on Nov 3rd. I had EWCM on the 4th of Nov so I Bd'd again.On Nov 6th I got a + OPK so I BD'd in the am and pm.I believe I O'd on Nov 7th.You need to BD atleast 12 hours before O because it takes that long for the lil fellas to get up there.I really suggest a OPK.They are great and gives you a 12-48 hour warning.So as soon as get the pos start BDing like crazy.Also if you notice EWCM Bd like crazy also because it is the best time to get pg because it is the easiest time for the sperm to get through all the CM.And that way the sperm is up in there so if you do O in the next day or 2 it is there waiting.If you have any more questions just let me know!!!

Amber-are you still around or did you did you get your BFP and run??LOL Heidi and Mary-I know it was probably confusing with all the dates and stuff I put but to make it easier I BD'd 4 days before O,3 days before O and 2x on the day I got the + on the OPK.I O'd the next day. If you start getting an idea of when you are going to O start BDing once a day then when you get a + on the OPK BD like crazy ASAP!!!You will O 12-48 hours from when you get a + so you need to already have the sperm up there for when you release the egg.Hope that helps! If you have any more questions shoot! As for me I went to an idiot Dr that did not help me at all besides upseting me so I am gonna make an appt with my gyn next week.My syptoms are starting to finlly go away so I guess it was just left over from my m/c.Take care girls and keep us updated!

Hi Everyone! I'm still hanging in here...The good news is my Hcg level doubled over the 48 hours they are now at 283 and progestrone is at 51, so right now everything is ok. I'm still worried, I don't seem to have any pg symptoms at all and I am very worried that this won't be a viable pregnancy. I'm trying to stay positive but I've been down this road way too many times. I need all the support I can get - I won't be worried until I can finally hold that little baby in my arms.

I am so happy to hear that everything is good for you and the lil peanut!! I know exactly what you mean about still worrying that it won't be a viable pg but on this last pregnancy I had I got to the point that I had to leave it in God's hands and not stress about it because it wasn't going to change the outcome of the pregnancy.You need as less stress as possible right now. I know that it is impossible not to worry but don't let it overcome you. I personally made the choice to look towards the future and be happy about the pregnancy instead of worrying about the past and what might happen.For me it was easier than constantly worrrying if I was gonna m/c again.Everyone is different and handles things differently.I know of alot of people that did not have symptoms until a few months after they found out they were pg and they were still very light.So don't let that concern you.Everyone and every pregnancy is different.I know that the only way to feel completely safe about everything is when you are holding your lil peanut in your arms.I think everyone feels that way.Take care of yourself and we are here whenever you need us!You'll be in my prayers(lil peanut too)! Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Sara - Thank you so much for the kind words. I really needed that. I am going to try to stop thinking the worse is going to happen. I'll let you know what my Hcg levels are on Monday. Hopefully they have continued to rise.

Ladies, I had my first ultrasound yesterday. I had 1 follicle. I was disapointed that there weren't more of them, but happy that I had at least a chance of getting pregnant. Today I went in to have insemination done. My husband's sample was to low. I am so devasted. He had a seman analysis in September and everything was fine! My Dr did the IUI anyway. She said that it would be the same as if we had sex on our own, but she new I was so close to tears that she went ahead with it. I am so upset right now and just don't understand why we can't have children!!!!!

Heidi-I am so sorry sweetie! I know how frustrating and heart breaking it is.You never know miracles do happen.My sister had been ttc for 10 years and had about 6 or 7 m/c's and was told she wouldn't be able to have any children and then out of the blue she got pg and had a beautiful little girl.Your time WILL come.It just takes people like us longer and more heart break but when that day comes that you do get pg it will be the best day of your life! Atleast the Dr found out what the problem was and maybe she can treat you both to correct it.Please don't give up hope sweetie,I'm not!I know I will have a baby someday when the time is right for me and the baby.I am here for you for a shoulder to cry on anytime you need it! Take care and let us know how you are doing!

Sara-thanks for the kind words. I was so upset when I wrote that, as I can tell by all my spelling errors. I am calmer today. I think I was so excited and optimistic, going in for the IUI and it was really a huge let down. My dh is tired of this too. We have been married 4 years and have been undergoing infertility treatments for a year now. We are both tired and emotional drained. I am still hoping though. I really believe that God can perform amazing things. Nothing is impossible. I do think that it will happen eventually. When my dh found out that he would need to be seen by a specialist he was frustrated. I am blessed to have him because he is so supportive and willing to do anything for me. He is content with just us, but knows how badly I want a child. I think that is what is so hard for him, the thought that he can't give me something that I desperately want. He is going to be seen in a few weeks. Part of me also hopes that they will find the problem with him and it will be an easy fix--or at least fixable! My dr said that they had the same situation last month with another couple and they ended up pregnant. So, I do know that it is possilble! So, I am on my tww. We shall see. Thankyou for being here. I am so happy that I found such great people to chat with. Have you found anything else out?? Where are you currently at?

Heidi-I am happy to hear that you are doing better today.You are really lucky to have such a great and supportive DH.Alot of women who are married aren't as lucky as you.Hopefully when he goes to see the specialist it will be a easy fix.Atleast you know that there is hope especially since your Dr told you so. I know it is hard being patient.I am having a very hard being patient on not ttcing especially since I know I O'd on the 5th.I am going to see my gyn next week.so I am just trying to be patient until Jan(since that would be 2 cycles since my 2nd m/c) and that gives me time to get my tests results back too.I can't take a chance and have my heart broken again from another m/c.Keep us updated on how you are doing!Take care of yourself!!!
