I think I may be joining you

Hi ladies, I've been reading through some of your posts and just wanted to say hello. I went for an ultrasound on friday (yesterday) and they said that there is no way that I am six weeks almost seven and since my previous due date was probably going to be November 30th (according to lmp), I am pretty sure they will be changing it to sometime in December. I will know more on the second ultrasound on the 21st so this may be a little premature but I am interested in getting to know you all in the following months (hopefully). So the rest of this post is my background just in case some of you feel like skipping it =-). I had a son in May of 2006, a miscarriage in November 2007 and am now currently pregnant again somewhere between 5 & 6 weeks I think. Because of my miscarriage I had my Hcg checked every 48 hours two weeks ago and they were doubling as they should - my docotor put me on progesterone suppositories because my levels were a little low. Now with the ultrasound results coming back they way they did I have to have my levels checked again on Monday and a repeat ultrasound on the 21st which they said we should see something for sure at that point, all they could see before was something that was very promising as a yolk sac but no baby yet. It is a very difficult time for me and my husband right now, I am trying to remain positive even though we didn't seem to get a very positive vibe from the docotor afterwards, she seemed alot more interested in telling me what the plan was should this pregnancy end badly. It was a rough day until late last night when I realized that this exact same thing happened to my sister and her daughter is now 10 months old so I have every reason to be hopeful and keep a positive attitude for the baby's sake. I just wanted to say hi and I guess until I hear otherwise i will probably be bouncing back and forth between here and the Nov babies forum. I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy eight more months.

Yes I am although I am thinking that since they thought my levels were low according to the weeks I was supposed to be but now that I may be earlier than we thought the levels look a lot better to me. I know that the value of the number doesn't matter just as long as it doubles, so as long as my levels come back somewhere aroung the 6000 range on tuesday they will have been doubling all along as they should be. I am hoping that is they case because then I will be able to relax a little bit while waiting for the 21st to roll around. I never had any of this with my son so all these things are new and nerve wracking. I am trying to remain positive as that is the only thing I can do for right now, thank you for your support and well wishes, I will post my results when I get them tuesday!!

Good luck to you!!! I hope everything works out for you! I also don't know if I'm going to have a Dec or Nov baby. I'm sticking in this forum though because I'm hoping it's a Dec baby! My levels are pretty low which shows me very early on. On Friday my levels were 107. But, They more then doubled since Wed. Wed my levels were 34. I go back tomorrow and every 2 days for more blood work until my levels reach the 1000's. Fun. I wont get an u/s until then though so your very lucky they are doing u/s on you!

Lots of luck and let us know how your bloodwork comes out......You're lucky that they checked your Hcg and Progesterone...I had a missed M/C and D&C in Dec.....I had my 1st appt. for this pregnancy last Tues. and asked if they would draw those 2 labs and the midwife said that she didn't see a need for it........I have insurance....it's not like they wouldn't get their $$$...I didn't argue b/c I figure she knows best.....I just would have felt so much better had they drawn them and I knew that at least THAT was OK....I know how you feel.....so many insecurities and doubts after you've been thru a M/C....All we can do is cross our fingers!
