Pregnancy ?

22greggy22 · ‎17-11-2014

After the birth of my son 10 years ago , we struggled with fertility and had no luck falling pregnant . I'd pretty much given up that it just wasn't meant to be and decided to be grateful for the gorgeous son I have. Anyway 3 weeks ish ago I had a funny feeling I was pregnant and sure enough I was. I was so excited I cried happy tears all day . Since then tho it's been a bit of a roller coaster . I've had 3 blood tests to check everything is ok and 2 internal and 2 external ultrasounds. The results from the first tests were good. Hormone levels at 6000 and everything else normal. The first ultrasound showed a sac but nothing else could be seen . So they sent me for more blood tests which had a reading of 9000 hormone levels and my doc asked me to again go for a ultrasound . The guy who did my scan today didn't sound very positive , he can see nothing in the gestational sac, no heartbeat, the size hasn't changed much from my last scan. He all but said don't get your hopes up. Anyway I had another blood test today as my doc rang me Saturday to bring my appointment forward from Friday to today . This whole thing is making me a nervous wreck , I never had any of the probing or prodding in my last pregnancy. I really don't know what to think . I'm hoping someone on here can shed some light from experience and perhaps put my mind at ease .

All you can do at ths stage is wait and watch. Early days.. But the specialist has exoressed concern, so be prepared if the pregnancy is not viable.
I wish you all the best and I hope you have good news over the next week or two.

Rest, good diet, fluids.

I guess it's too soon for congradulations. Even though I don't know you, i'm exited for you and keeping my fingers crossed. I know what it's like not having that ability myself in this life, but i hold out hope that maybe in the next life i might be able to get pregnant.

be well, relax and see what happends, keep us informed.

If your pregnancy is only three + weeks gone, then I think a scan won't show much on screen.

I may be wrong, but most scans are done at a more progressive stage.

Will ask my granddaughter who is a registered midwife.

I never had a scan. My youngest son is 51.

Keeping fingers crossed for you and wishing you all the best.

did you ever ponder why you want a(nother) child?

that is what is destroying the planet.

don't you feel a little bit guilty for adding another flea to the dead horses back?

Is this the "real" you or the "trying to be entertaining" you?

You certainly don't try to be likable, do you?

What business of it of yours why someone wants children?

But we are not really breeding like rabbits. In most countries, the average family has lessened the number of children in the household.

I find that the size of the required warren and its "absolutely necessary appointments" are of concern.
