Hi, my history is that I'm 42 y/o and have had 4 mc.  The last one hit me especially  hard because we had seen the heartbeat but it was gone by the next ultrasound.  I had multiple fibroids removed 3 months ago.  My lmp was March 30th.  I'm coming up positive  for pg but the line seems very light.  I should be thrilled to see the positive pg test, but instead I'm so afraid of getting my hopes up.  I'm going in today at 11 for a blood test and then I'll go in a couple of days so we'll see if my hcg is doubling or not.  I'm praying this one sticks.

Sharon, I just finished praying for you and I wish you the best!
  I am 43 and have had 3 miscarriages.I switched to a differrent doctor and if I get the bfp she will be putting me on progesterone supplements immediately. My last 3 pregnancys I didn't take progesterone and they all miscarried. My doctor told me that is very common for us older women to take progesterone for the first 10 weeks of pregnancy till the placenta takes over and produces it. I talked to a lady in another forum and she is 43 and has had 3 miscarriages but after she got pg again she started the progesterone and  carried to term! She just had her baby boy 2 weeks ago! She was such an inspiration to me. Ask your doctor today for progesterone.I hope that your numbers look good.Keep me posted after you get your results back.
Best wishes!!!
