so two years ago, to the day, my husband and I had a miscarriage. a week ago, we found out I'm pregnant again. I went to the doctor today for a pelvic exam, and my doctor says that my cervix is closed but apparently really irritated, as soon as she touched it it started bleeding (I know gross) anyway, I was wondering, first if that's okay, and if it's going to hurt the pregnancy, and second, tomorrow is officially 6 weeks, what can I expect to see on the ultrasound tomorrow? also I have a longer cycle I have a 30 day cycle so I think there might be a possibility that I ovulated a little later than we expect. I'm so nervous that I'm going to go in and see nothing, and have to be told that I'm going to go through another miscarriage. any advice or help would be appreciated. thanks.

my husband is in the army and was home in december and my dates are not off i know for sure i have not had and ultra sound yet they want to give me one in a week...... she thought she herd two hearts but was not sure..?

I'm 34 weeks (but measuring 38, and the baby is 10 days "bigger" than they think she should be on ultrasound). In the past two weeks I've noticed my daughter has gone from moving very little to moving almost all the time. Yesterday my breasts started leaking a lot, I've been having colostrum come out since I was 4 months pregnant, but yesterday it was making wet spots on my shirt the size of soft balls. I've also had a lot more vaginal discharge. Since the baby is measuring bigger and all these other things are happening (plus I've had a lot more Braxton Hicks in the past week) I was wondering if that could mean labor would be coming sooner. Originally I was due April 18th according to my last period, but the baby was measuring a week smaller than that at my first ultrasound so they moved my due date back to the 24th of April. If I were to go off of my last period then I would be 35 weeks pregnant instead of 34. Any ideas? I'm not saying I want her to come now, I want her to wait at least three more weeks just so she's full term. I'm not saying I want her to come now, I want her to wait at least three more weeks just so she's full term.

so ive never had it before, and im 21 weeks pregnant, my throat is so scratchy and sore that im losing my voice from it and its going up into my ears. i have no stuffiness or runny nose, my eyes seem fine and i have a little cough just from trying to clear my throat and it being so sore. does this sound like strep or does it just sound like a sore throat. and is it gonna affect my baby at all? ive had sinus infection in my first two pregnancy but i never in my life had strep so im not sure what it feels like. fill me in please, i go to the doctor tomarrow for my ultrasound so i will be asking then but i want to know now. oh and i should prolly add that i have never had an ear infection either, can a ear infection cause a sore throat? cause i have pain and itchiness in both my nose and my throat.

am hopefully going to be a first time mom. I had been sick for a couple weeks prior to finding out I was pregnant. I found out on March 10th I was pregnant and had been having morning sickness that whole previous week up until now, but thought I was just sick. I woke up two days ago and was a little feeling a little sick but did not throw up. First is it common to have just one week of constant throwing up in the morning or will this pass and I might get start getting sick again? I have no idea how far along I am so I really don't know what to expect. Another concern is I felt like I could more so feel the baby or something inside me when I would move around, that has pretty much stopped too, I'm trying to convince my self that it was just my body getting use to there being a baby inside of me. Plus I've been eating a lot more because my diet before was not healthy and I'm really trying to do everything I can to be healthy for this baby. I've actually gained 8 pounds since Febuary 19th which also concerns me. I don't have cramping or bleeding or back pain that are associated with having a misscarriage but the worry is still there. I am going to get on insurance on Friday and then can schedule an ultrasound but as a first time mom at 21, nor having a mom I find I have no one to ask these questions. Thanks to all who can be of some help.. I truly appreciate it.

I am now 17.6 weeks pregnant and at 15.5 weeks I had an ultrasound and they told me the baby was at 16.5 weeks which I just cant figure out why the baby is so big because I had a ultrasound at 6 weeks and that gave me my due date of 8/18/2010 but now I dont if I am having a big baby or my due date is off. I have a follow up in two weeks.

Well my son is almost 15 weeks and I had him by c-section. After my 6 week check up, I got 3 periods around 2 weeks apart. I am breastfeeding so they did an ultrasound to make sure everything was okay and I haven't heard back so it should be. My last period was Feb 17th, two and a half weeks after the last one. I had sex Feb 28th, we used the pull out method and I thought maybe he got a little in me. So March 10th I took an OPK since I didn't get my period and I was cramping and it was positive and so either I was pregnant or ovulating. March 12th it was negative so it meant I just ovulated... we had sex yesterday March14th BUT he didn't even try pulling out! I just told him I got a positive OPK, is it too late to get pregnant since I got a negative on the OPK Friday and we had sex Sunday? It is stupid but learning that the OPK meant I was just ovulating disappointed both of us. I told him about how I took it and he looked so excited but that was before he let me tell him I then got a negative two days later. **OPK's also detect pregnancy, it was how I found out I was pregnant with my son, the hpt was negative but OPK was positive. We also know the risks of getting pregnant so soon after a c-section.

I am nineteen years old and am in a very stable long term relationship. My boyfriend and I have always been extremely careful with sex but we had a condom slip off and go inside of me without us knowing (heat of the moment incident) and he ejaculated, resulting in pregnancy. I took three pregnancy tests but they all came back negative until I took one about a month later just to be safe, I always did this once a month even with condoms for peace of mind, and it finally came back positive. I immediately saw a doctor and was determined to be seven and a half weeks pregnant. I was examined during this time and given an ultrasound and it showed two things: one that I was pregnant but the yolk sac wasn't even visible and the baby was still an egg a little more than a centimeter across even at almost eight weeks; and two that I had a massive cyst on my right ovary. The cyst was looked into and it was determined that my right ovary was functioning far less than it should have been and that I had some scar tissue and something called poly-cystic ovarian syndrome. As well as this I had been drinking a bit with my family over the holiday weekend coming back from college before I knew I was pregnant and this frightened me greatly; I didn't know but it was still too late... Because of the above reasons I chose to terminate the pregnancy and have an IUD inserted to make sure this wouldn't happen again. I was told that there was a high chance I could miscarry because of the lack of fetal development for one and I did not want this, and I didn't want to risk a child with alcohol damage because of my own stupidity, as well as this I am only nineteen and it would be unfair to raise a child when I am barely an adult myself. I am pro-choice and I know the fetus was just a clump of cells but cutting off the possibility of a life was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. My fear now is that because of the ovarian damage as well as a termination and hormonal birth control (Mirena; the IUD with the hormones) that I will not be able to get pregnant later on. I want children more than anything, even now, but I am not that selfish. But what about five or so years down the road? Will I be able to get pregnant then?

Im 18, and found out I was pregnant like 2 months ago. Me and my boyfriend had been arguing for about two weeks when I found out. He broke up with me over face book when I told him. He wont even look at me now. Hes in denial about the whole situation. I even took a pregnancy test in front of 2 of his best friends and he still doesn't believe me. Ive been to the doctor and its been com firmed. About a week ago my mom called his mom and told her, now all of his friends are harassing me. They TP'd my house and left a note in my house door telling me how big of a whore I am. He even called me the day after he made me take a pregnancy test in front of his 2 best friends, while having sex with another girl. The only time he has even been nice to me, is when I said I would consider an abortion. I dont want to have an abortion, I just want him to be there. I tried to get him to go with me to my ultrasound, but he says hes grounded, which I know for a fact is a lie. In all honesty I have no idea what to do. Any advice?

Hello I am 23 Happily Married I have been TTC now exactly a year since my last depo injection and still no luck! I wish I've never even takin this shot, I was younger and not told much about it at all and didn't know better about the fact you really should research anything you take but anyway I am having a hard time getting pregnant. I am one of those unknown infertility because everything seems fine for the most part I don't know if I am ovulating yet or not but I do get periods again so does that mean I've gotta be ovulating? This month I have taken 100mg of Clomid, Estrodial to make the lining thicker to hold a fertilized egg and i went to the dr yesturday on cycle day 13 the ultrasound showed good lining, a few small follicles on left side and omg one HUGEEEE follicle on the right side and when I say HUGE I mean Huge lol I've never seen it this big so does that mean better chances? Well my DR decided I can get the HCG Trigger shot which i was very excited about does that mean most deff chance i will release an egg? Then also gave me Crinone 8% Progesterone Gel which is said to make sure your body keeps the fertilized egg and makes your lining stay thick and you can even use the cream a few weeks while your pregnant to make sure there is no chances of M/C. So if any of you ladies worry about M/C you should mention this cream and find out more info about it. I would like to know some experiences you've had or heard open to anything about how long it took to get prego after depo and some experiences on this.. I guess I am on the two week wait right now... BLA sux I know and I am very inpatient too! haha. For some reason since we have started TTC I've felt that this month would be it and it's weird right now I feel even after how long it's taken that it will deff be this month!! Wish me Luck it's deff hard to go through this and you want to just give up but no matter what I won't and I encourage you ladies not too either it will happen when God intends it to happen just keep praying and keep POSITIVE! Baby dust to all and Good Luck and have some fun with the hubby while TTC! ;)

I used what is below to answer a qestion about teen pregnacy; yes it is ture and its about me; I really jus want to knaow what others think about it and if any on has any adivce. Im scared and dont really know where to turn. i have support i still jus dont know; found out on the 3rd of march that i was 11 weeks pregnant; that makes me about 12 weeks and a few days pregant at 16! Yesterday me and my boyfriend/baby's father have been together for a year; i found out the news well i was at the doctors i thought i had the flu; normally my BF goes with me to the dr know matter what it for but he could go because he had to help his mom; so i went with my mom; when the dr told me i was pregnant i was dumbfounded; devistated; scared; shocked and ever other overwhelming emotion you can think about; i really did'nt have to go threw the telling my mom thing becaause she was there and she was pretty underdtanding; i mean i would say she was extreamly happy because what mother of a 16 year old would be. So teh car ride home was pretty qiut besides me saying i was sorry and my mom saying its okay we'll get threw this; so i went home and cried for about three hours; my boyfriend pretty much lives with me and when he came home he seen me crying; (i had not called him or said anything to him) and asked what was wrong; i jus stayed quit affraid of his reaction; i grabed his hand and held it and then put it up to my stomach; he looked at me like are you jokeing then said what are you saying; i told him that i was pregnant and he looked at me grabed my hands and kissed them. we laid in the same place for about 15 min in silence; he sat up and said im going to my mas do you wanna come with me. i told him no so he kissed me then my stomach and left' about 45 min later he showed back up to my house with his mother(he also has a one year old daughter and has recently been lied to about a pregnacie.) so she asked to speak to my mother and then asked if i would take a home pregancy test. i had no problem takeing it, it jsu felt like i was trusted; when the test came back positive she gave me hug and said that she would help me woth anything i needed. So that was really the hard part telling the close people to me. And yeasteray we told his daughters mother, we figred it would be best to tell her before anyone of are other friends; i respect her and love there daughter. i thought she would be mad and have an attitude for with but she did'nt she pulled me aside while he was playing with his daughter and said i wants a kids to always know each other; (im not going to use the childs real name ill jus say mia) She said that mia's baby brother or sister and i want her to always no him or her. So that also was something i was glad did'nt turn out bad. And today i guess would be the hardest days. i went for my first ultrasound and was told i was pregnant with twins. so not only am i 16 and pregnant but when its all said and done. ill have 2 babys. the only other people that know are our really close friends and family. of course we plan on telling others were jus going to take it day by day. im very scared knowing that im going to be bringing in two new lives in to this messed up world being so young haveing nothing for my own being a sohmore in high school im very scared. i want to give these babys the best life possiable and give them eveything they need for now while i carry them in my womb to the day they meet there maker. and i would love to ahve the white picket fence and the high school sweetheart dream i live in the world of single mothers and devorce' i dotn want to ever see my children hurt or scared or upset but they will. i am affraid of loosing my boyfriend and haveing to do this alone and im affraid of loosing my friends and my life but i guess when you have sex with out protection anything is possable. like getting pregnant at 16 and beoming pregnat with twins.

If you only have your ultrasound at 20 weeks, is that when you would find out? Wouldn't they be able to tell sooner since they check for the heartbeat? There should be two, right? I don't think I'm pregnant with twins, otherwise I would've gained more weight. I'm just curious :). Thanks!

Hi, I bought my two registered miniature goats on January the 16th, and the owner who I bought the does from, said they had been running with a buck from November the 15th to January the 9th, and recalled seeing some action going on in the field not long after the buck went into the paddock. I was wondering if it would be a good chance they would be pregnant. I know that they should be pregnant, however, I want them to be pregnant so bad, I don't want to get disappointed if they are not. My first doe Honeysuckle has gained a great deal of weight in her stomach area, she has not bagged up at all, however, she has kidded before and does that have kidded before usually bag up a week before they kid, or even after the kidding. My other doe Jazzie, she has gotten a tiny bit bigger too, and her vulva is very soft and puffy, however, she is certainly not as big as Honeysuckle. We dried off Jazzie (she was milking when we purchased her) a month ago, and after a while, her udder started decreasing, however, in the past couple of days, I have noticed one teat getting larger, and I don't think she has an infection because her udder is not hot or inflamed or red, so the other teat was a lot smaller, however, just today, her smaller teat seemed to have gotten a little bigger, however the teats are still uneven, which never happened when she was milking. Do you think that is a sign of her bagging up. They both have never come back into heat yet, well not that I know of, they have not had any discharge or wet tail hair-which is a sign of heat. Do they sound like they are pregnant? If they where, they would give birth from April to the 7th of June. Also, can you use human pregnancy testers on goats, to determine if they are pregnant? Is the human pregnancy tester accurate enough? I just don't want to send my does to the vet for an ultrasound, which is an hour and a half away, including two 4 kilometer stretches of extremely rough road, which I am afraid shall stress my does, plus they hate traveling, I am also worried they may abort. Is there any hormone pregnancy testers available for goats in Australia? Thanks. Also, my other doe, who is nearing kidding time, is acting strange. She is more distant, when I feel her pelvic ligaments, which has sunken, she arches her back, what does that mean? Last night, she urinated and while she was urinating, my other doe started drinking it, my doe then started to cry, and my other doe stopped and left. Is my doe crying because she has an infection, or what else would it be? Thank you.

Well my story starts of as a school girl, like any other teen (Me at the time) 14 years old and full of pride i had my first real boy friend and i loved him sooooo much, Oh and of course i thought i was invincible i wanted to marry him and would do anything for him i even slept with him. I have to add this bit (my mum if that's what you could call her was okay with anything i done hey she's the first person to offer me marijuana and yes i accepted i had such a great role model, My father was not around) Anyway getting back to it, I was starting to have a lot of days off school i was real sick my mother asked me "when was your last period" i shrugged it off and said "Last month" My mother said "maybe you should got to the doctors", I didn't know what she meant i was just sick. I was at a friends I told her about what my mum said her response maybe your pregnant, I was dazed i said "I ain't having no baby". I did decided to go to the youth clinic and my friend came with me the doctor their confirmed i was indeed pregnant i said the same thing i said to my friend i ain't having no baby i want an abortion, So the doctor wanted a ultrasound, Had a ultrasound that day the tech asked if i wanted to know the sex i was like no i'm having a abortion, she walked out of the room and a doctor came in and talked to me about i was to far to have a abortion and there was other options i discovered i was 23 weeks pregnant and i was having a baby boy . I was stunned i didn't know what to do, I had to tell my mum As i walked in the front door i walked up to my mums bedroom where she was i sat on the bed and said "I went to the health clinic" my mum said "Oh yeah" I said "I'm pregnant" she took a deep breath in and told me about the option told me not to interrupt after she gave me the options number one been abortion, number two been adoption and three been keep the baby and she would be there for me. I said to her "I can't have a abortion i'm to far i'm having a boy". I am surprised that my mother did take the news pretty good. I had a healthy pregnancy and Morning sickness like no other i also turned 15, and then at 36 weeks and after a 36 hour labour i gave birth to my Beautiful baby boy weight 7 pound 9 oz and 46 cm long, i was amazed he was the best thing that ever happened to me (Oh and the father was to young apparently to be a father). after spend 8 days in hospital and then i took home my baby, My mum helped out a lot and she was so proud her first grandchild. Then 4 weeks after i had him i was aroused to discover he was not breathing i'm not going to go in to detail about exactly what happened but the ambos confirmed it. i got a letter in the mail from the coroner and the findings said nothing and death was pronounced as sudden infant death syndrome it broke my heart into a million bits and part of me died that day. I now realise it's hard enough to have a baby at 15 but then i had to bury my baby, It's the hardest thing i have ever in my life had to do. I had another baby at 38 weeks 8 pound 9 oz 55cm long i was 17, a little under a week until i turned 18, She was gorges and i was shit scared. (I started dating her father not long after my 1st baby left me) I then discovered i was pregnant with my third baby when i was 19, I had some trouble while i was pregnant my 3rd baby the umbilical cord was deformed and they where amazed that i made it to 41 weeks and said that usually the baby would have not survived past 12 weeks in the womb I gave birth to her she was so little and amazing 6 pound 2oz 45 cm long, soon after giving birth i had major hemorrhaging and need and D&C and blood transfusion, when i did get out of hospital i got really sick and had to be re-admitted i had septicemia and could feed my baby until i was better. (In the mean time me and my girls dad split it was the best choice he badly abused me while i was pregnant with our second baby). when my youngest daughter was 6 months old i met a man he was an amazing friend (I'm now married to him he is the best man in the world and i'm so happy i found him he brought 3 baby's of his own and we made us a family he has all boys they are great kids and my girls love their step brothers as if they where their own blood and flesh brothers, year of births 1999, 2001, 2003) When my youngest (at the time was 18 months old i discovered i was pregnant my pregnancy was a Breeze and at 40 weeks i gave birth to a wonderful baby boy 8pound 2oz 49 cm long. Last year in june i discovered i was pregnant i was amazed (I wanted another boy) but tragedy struck and at 16wks + 5 days i had a miscarriage, The baby i miscarried was perfectly formed it was a little boy, I am heart broken and words can't describe what this has done to me, If i could give my life for both my angels i would do anything, I would spend the rest of eternity in hell just to know my baby's are safe and well. right now i take every month as it comes in hope i can have anothe sorry story got lost I

I had drank wine up until the night before my IUI. I did not drink at all during the two week wait and I found I out I was pregnant. Will I be okay? I have a decent diet and was alcohol free the whole two weeks before I found out. I started my prenatals the night I got my BFP. I had taken the vitamins before, I had just forgotten for awhile during the whole fertility process. I just had my first ultrasound today and I'm 7w1day and the babys heartbeat was 145 bpm, which was good. Now I'm just worried that I may have had lingering wine before actual conception. Any help easing my nervousness?

I'm so happy to be expecting two more babies. I have had 2 miscarriages since my son was born in 2003. Today I went to the ob/gyn to do my first prenatal visit and ultrasound. I'm quite shocked, that I'm 13 weeks pregnant, and didn't even know it. I have PCOS. The doctor did my cerclage, and he said that everything looks really good. My husband is currently out to sea, and he will be back tomorrow evening. I haven't told my husband that I'm pregnant. I want to keep it a surprise. Our 9th wedding annivesary is next wednesday. I've got a card picked out for him, and I was thinking about putting two of the extra ultrasound pictures inside. Do you think that he will like that? These two babies will be my last. I'm over 35, and have type 2 diabetes that is strictly diet controlled. How should I tell my husband that we're going to have two more babies? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

I went to the nurse at my school and did a pregnancy test and it came out negative. The next day I went to my regular doctor and he did an ultrasound and found that I was seven weeks pregnant. What I dont understand is why didnt it show up on the pregnancy test. Has this ever happened to anyone? I dont know what to think. Am i or not? I go back in two weeks. Im nervous. Any advice?

This is my third baby and I am feeling a lot of pressure and am incredibly sore from my inner thighs and all through that general area. I don't remember the pressure being so intense with my other two, I also had them by c-section so I have never been through labor. With this pregnancy I have placenta previa and am on bedrest, I'm wondering if this is just a normal feeling or if I need to call the doctor. It hurts just to walk, I know the baby is head down because I had an ultrasound last week. Thanks

I have had 2 miscarriages within the past nine months, obgyn says everything with me physically normal and I am just proving the statistics true, which I agree with. I just returned from Vanuatu (we got married over there) to discover that I am 5 weeks 3 days pregnant.. My hcg on this past monday was 1142 then on wed it was 2799 and on that same day We saw the gestational sac, so absoloutely everything at this stage is perfectly normal. I am so anxious, scared as the past two miscarriages have absoloutely gutted me as many of your would understand. Thank goodness I am returning to work next week otherwise I would go insane at home counting down the days. I go for an ultrasound in two weeks to check heart beat. Has anyone had 2 miscarriages and fallen pregnant? and successfully carried to full term, and did you feel the way that I am?, any advice on how to distract yourself from worrying about the 1sr trimester or rather how you anticipate the worst to happen even though you try to tell yourself everything will be ok and you will have this baby. In big need of some reassurance. And wishing all of you ttc all the baby dust in the world xo 1st miscarriage 9.5 weeks, second at 6 weeks Have discussed all of this with my obgyn and he says that there is no reason why this pregnancy should not be successful, It's just me being fearful of the worst case scenario, I know its silly and there are so many of us that go through this.

Im 31 weeks and 5 days and im having a Baby Boy. But im still figuring Out who is my baby's father.I did my first Ultrasound On March 2 2010 and the doctor said the measurements of the baby is fine and perfect but actually my tummy is Kind of Small for 31 weeks.Im 17 years old and Im a senior and i graduate May 21 2010... but I havent had my period right after me and my ex-boyfriend broke up which was in the beginning of July 2009.Me and him did it more then 8 times without protection. Then I did it with someone else On August 9 2009 around 4:00 in the morning and i only did it with him two times without protection..Im thinking that my ex-boyfriend is the dad of my Baby because im pretty sure it's not the other guy i did it last with because right after me and my ex-bf broke up that was my last period but i just dont know the date of my last period because i didnt keep track....im 31 weeks and 5 days today and my due date is May 7 2010 PLEASE HELP ME OUT THANK YOU!!!

In the past week, I had two pregnancy dreams. In the first one, I don't really remember at all what happen, I just remember me being pregnant. In the second dream last night, I was pregnant on a table in the hospital. The woman doctor put the gel on my stomach and gave me an ultrasound. There were about five people around me including my mom. The nurse cut my stomach open in two lines and sucked the baby out with a needle.

My doctor and i believe that i am 14-16 weeks pregnant based on my last period and the size of my uterus, however the ultrasound technision thinks i am only 9 weeks pregnant. I am already feeling the same movement as i did with my son. Any thoughts

What would you tell them, based on this: 1. This girl is 17 years old and in 3 months she will graduate high school. She just found out she is 7 weeks pregnant yesterday. She has no job lined up, and her boy friend just dumped her. Her parents have just been evicted and they have 1 week to get a new place to live. 2. This lady is married. She lives a healthy life, doesn't smoke or drink or anything. The ultrasound shows her baby is growing with only 1/4 of a brain. The mothers life is not in danger but the baby will not live more than a few days after birth. Both this lady and her husband have jobs that support their lifestyle. -------------- One of these two people is a real situation, and the other is made up. So if each of these people came to you to ask advise about abortion given their story what would you advise. Also please tell me your religion or lack there of when answering this.

I am unsure of the date of my last period, as I am normally irregular and because of that we didn't find out I was pregnant until very late. I had my initial visit with my OB (She was difficult to get into as a new patient) and she did all the normal tests but since we were figuring around 14 weeks she said she was going to run the "quad tests" for genetic disorders. Then two days later her assistant called me to come back for the ultrasound that wasn't scheduled until next month. I asked repeatedly if everything was okay, as I am a first time mom and the fact she called me in early made me nervous, and she TRIED to assure me that it was it was routine to need to be positive of my date and how many weeks I was for the quad test (genetic testing). Like I said, i am a first time mom and I am just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience or if I am just overreacting.

This is a long story to tell but i'm desperate for some hope and help... i went to my dr for an ultrasound at 7 weeks and i know i was exactly 7 weeks because me and my husband only had sex once in january and didn't have sex again until after i found out i was pregnant. so when he did a regular ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound because in the regular ultrasound he couldn't see the baby. unfortunetely after performing the transvaginal ultrasound he still couldn't see the baby. he only saw a sac that measured at 5 weeks. i knew it couldn't be possible to only be 5 weeks so he then sent me for blood work to monitor my hcg levels. the wait seemed like forever but i finally got the call saying my levels were rising normally. he then had me go in for a second ultrasound at 9 weeks. he again performed both a regular ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound and again saw a sac that now measured 5 weeks 6 days after two weeks but no baby. he then told me i have a blighted ovum and that i would miscarry and he wants to perform a d&c. i find it hard to have a d&c because i dont have any signs of miscarriage and i know what it feels like because i had a miscarriage two years ago. this has been a roller coaster and i really would appreciate any comments. my questions are has anybody experienced this with a positive outcome? why would my hcg levels rise normally if i have a blighted ovum? why hasn't my sac grown much? should i go ahead with the d&c?... thanks for listening to my story and any comments would be appreciated!

I found out about a week or two ago that I'm pregnant!! Expecting baby # 2. And I thought about going to the health clinic before actually finding a doctor.. If I go to the health clinic do they do ultrasounds? To tell me how far along I am?? Will I have to show insurance? Thanks!! Also, I'm in Alabama.

I am 30 and he is 38. He's been married before and is gun shy about it and I have been married before too but I am not gun shy about it. He keeps putting the wedding off, and we don't even have a date set anymore. He says probably in the next year and a half but if I ask he says I am pressuring him by just asking so I don't ask. We were engaged and decided we wanted to get pregnant. Before I met him I didn't want kids but I changed my mind being with him. So we start trying in October, and I we agree to go off birth control. We are both happy about it at that point. He keeps saying a Christmas baby would be nice, to get pregnant around Christmas, and we track my ovulation, have sex during my fertile times, and he stops taking baths to help his sperm count. He is totally participatory in all this and wants it to happen too. We get pregnant after a couple months, I was delighted to find out I conceived around Christmas too. I get pregnant and all the happiness stops. We have some relationship problems but see a counselor and are working through them, the relationship is doing better but he doesn't seem happy about the baby. I talk to him about it, as the weeks progress and he goes with me to the prenatals and sees the ultrasounds and we see the baby progressing. Then at 12 weeks, he says he doesn't think he'll ever marry me and doesn't want the baby because the timing is all wrong and he is going to be starting school when the baby is due. Meanwhile, I am in school too and I will have my license and will be ready to work once the baby is due. I told him I am totally willing to do whatever it takes and work hard and under no circumstances do I want to give up the baby and that nothing is insurmountable. He says it's the timing he doesn't like. So he says he doesn't want to be with me and doesn't want the baby, in one day. The same day, he says he does want to be with me, he hadn't thought it through. But he still doesn't want the baby. I am devastated, for two reasons, just being dumped, and now forced to give up my baby. I feel pressured into it, he doesn't give me any other choices about the baby. In a daze, I set up the appointment, we go to multiple appointments for it, and I got the abortion. I am now very upset. He WANTED this baby, then changed his mind. He proposed to me, now won't set a date until he feels more sure. He was a totally willing participant in BOTH these events. He knew what was happening. I feel like I was forced to give up the baby, and feel like he'll never commit to anything. This guy is 38 and I am wondering at that age, will a man like that ever be sure about anything? My clock is ticking and I do want to find a man to love and marry and have a family with, but I don't want to keep letting my values get trampled. He plays video games all day on his days off and wants to do stuff with friends, is he just immature and can I ever trust him?

My hubby asked that i share to see if anyone may have gone through what i have or may have some idea to our little mystery. So late October we found out we were pregnant with our second baby. My symptoms were very much the usual, tender areas, sickness, tired and cravings. We went to have an ultrasound done around seven weeks. We knew it was early but they went ahead and took a look. I was nervous, as most mothers are no matter how many times you've done it, but this time there was nothing to calm my fear. They found a sac but no baby, no heart beat, nothing. A week later again no baby or heartbeat. They gave me all the information on miscarriage and it was not a waiting game. Sure enough at nine weeks,Dec 2o, I went home from work in horribly familiar pains, cramping and small contractions. The next morning I woke up needing to use the bathroom and there it was. I did what I thought was necessary and saved the "sample", as they call it, and called my hubby. We went in to the hospital that afternoon. Test after test I went through and after hours of waiting they confirmed the sample and the miscarriage. An hour long ultrasound session confirmed that nothing was left (their opinion since I couldn't watch) and after more tests and a long wait a nurse who had just clocked on sent me off with a prescription they did not explain to me. For two days I took this medication which caused horrible contractions and followed their instructions to call a OBGYN they recommended to me. After one last check up and a blood test (and finding out they were to prescribe me pain killers for the medication I was on) I went home relieved it was finally over. I was heartbroken and in a state of shock from all i had to go through in just a few days. My hubby and I had a short time to relax until the bills starting pouring in. Then the stress began. I hardly had time to mourn the baby I never really had. January rolled around and we celebrated our sons birthday as well as the new year. Late January we were to go away with some friends. I wasn't feeling very well and something inside me gave me a very familiar feeling. I asked my hubby if he thought it would be silly of me to take a pregnancy test. He said no and so the twenty second of January I took the test. Sure enough it confirmed my feeling, it was positive. I wasn't sure if I should be excited or scared. It had been about five weeks since the miscarriage...maybe my levels were still reading high? We estimated if I got pregnant after the miscarriage I could only be a few weeks along so we waited...the longest wait of my life. Finally, at about ten weeks since the miscarriage, and what we assumed would be week seven or eight, we went in for another ultrasound. Having only one insurance at the time and loads of bills we used a local pregnancy center. Again I was a ball of nerves. Would there be a baby? Would it be too early to tell if it was there or had a heart beat? I was shaking. They did the usual protocol, starting with a tummy, and informing me they would probably have to do a pelvic. I was used to this and prepared myself for whatever popped up on the screen. But nothing, and I mean NOTHING, could prepare me for what I saw. She put the device to my tummy and there it was...A little face, body, arms, hands...EVERYTHING! It stared back at us like it was just waiting to be discovered. All my fears washed away, starting at my head and leaving out my toes. My hubby's face lit up and the nurse let out a squeel of surprise. She moved around to get a look at our little surprise and it happened...the baby started moving. I grabbed my hubby's arm and he stared mouth wide open. The nurse found it's heart and it too was beating away. I was in too much shock to cry all though everything in me wanted to. The shock wasn't over yet. After a good examination and measuring the computer put the numbers together and up popped the most shocking of news. Our baby read measured at ten weeks old. The development, heartbeat, size..it all measured at ten weeks. But how? It put our due date at Sep 24...but that would make the date of conception Dec 18. How is that? Well there you have it. We have plan to go back to the OBGYN we saw after the miscarriage. But for now anyone who may have any idea how such a tragedy can become such a blessing feel free to comment. As of now only God knows

My last period was January 21st.My fiance and I have been having unprotected sex almost everyday to get pregnant and just because of course i picked a very good looking guy to become my husband haha...I am now two weeks late for my period and i took three pregnancy tests last week when I was a week late and they all came back negative..I went to the gyno recently because I have been having a sharp pain on my right side and because I am two weeks late for my period..they took an ultra sound and an intervaginal ultrasound to see if maybe I had a cyst and they didnt find anything..i just started bleeding two days ago..not heavy but not light and now today i have nothing..could i possibly still be pregnant and could the bleeding be implantation bleeding? and how soon could a fetus come up on an ultrasound because maybe it just implanted itself and it could show up yet and the side pain is maybe from that too? I am very confused and need some answers. Thanks.

My last period was in dec..went for 1st ultrasound in feb..was diagonosed with a blighted ovum due to very high hcg levels (134,000) with no baby just gational sac..went back in 5 days no change..waited two weeks for follow up ultrasound and possible schedule for d&c..tec now found yolk sac and fetal pole that measured 6 1/2 weeks..now due to the thought of me being pregnant my boyfriend and I weren't using protection..in the mix of this waiting period I've had no cramping or bleeding and just I've heard of the body absorbing a blighted ovum and so I'm wonderif is there a chance I miscarried and got pregnant right after because I haven't had a period since dec..pleas comment and give any advice..thanks everyone!

My first ultrasound which was at almost 6 weeks thy found two sacs. My next 3 ultrasounds they have just seen one baby. My last ultrasound was at 18 weeks. Right now I am 30 weeks I went to the ER last Sunday and they picked up two different heartbeats. They couldn't tell me nothing forsure because the doctor wasn't there so I can find out anything until my next appt. Which is march19th. I had gained 35-45 pounds when my last checkup when I was just 28 weeks so I ain't forsure how much now an I don't see how I am gaining so much cause I ain't really eating much. I feel movements everywhere and I have felt extreme pressure in my bottom parts. Does anyone know of they are a chance in me being pregnant with twins and if so why are the chances? Please give serious answers only. Thanks for all help.

After a week vacation in Cancun followed by moving away party I found out i was pregnant... so those two weeks after conception included a lot of drinking such as... i had beer for lunch and cocktails for dinner while in Cancun... THEN i had a whole bottle of wine after vacation... THEN there was the go-away party where I had may be 5-7 drinks... I also had a glass of wine almost every day of those two weeks. And 2 days later I got a positive test!!! i am now 22 weeks PG and my 20 weeks ultrasound came back normal. BUT i am worried sick.... When i found out i was just 5 weeks PG and did not have a single drink after that. Do you think that my little one could still have developed FAS? :((((

I am currently 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I went in for my first ultrasound on Wednesday (7weeks 2 days) and they were unable to find a heartbeat or a fetal pole. I was told that I was measuring a full 2 weeks behind where I should be at this point. There is a gestational sac, a yolk sac and a placenta, but at that point it looked like there was no fetal tissue or heartbeat. I was scheduled for another ultrasound today (Friday) just to have another look and for me to be "at peace" with the outcome of this doomed pregnancy. I was scheduled for a D&C for Monday. Well, at today's ultrasound (7 weeks and 4 days) there WAS a heartbeat and what looked to be a fetal pole. The sac looked larger to me today, but the ultrasound tech still said I was measuring a full 2 weeks behind. Of major importance...I am 110% sure of my dates and they ARE NOT wrong. My lmp was 1/11/10 and I ovulated on 1/26. I had a positive pregnancy test on Feb 8th, with another definitely positive following on the 9th. Well, my d&c has been cancelled (obviously) and I am to wait until this Wednesday to go back for another ultrasound. Does anyone have any experience whatsoever to help me come to terms with what could be happening? Should I continue to prepare myself for a miscarriage even though we see the heartbeat and my body has given no indication that I'm trying to lose this pregnancy? I just cannot understand how the baby could be measuring so far behind unless there is something seriously wrong. I'm going crazy and can't believe I have to wait until Wednesday to find something out. By the way, this is my 3rd pregnancy. Mom to two beautiful and healthy boys with no prior pregnancy problems.

im 13 weeks pregnant. i had two miscarriages already. The first time, i was 4 weeks; i found out i was pregnant one day, and the next day i started to bleed (Around January). The second time, i was 10 weeks, when i started to bleed again, but this time i did feel the fetus come out which made me so sad.(Around June) I was wondering what was i was doing wrong. I was having intercourse though, but they say intercourse is okay when pregnant?!. well right now im 13 weeks pregnant again, i had my first ultrasound when i was 10 weeks and im so exited because i saw my baby and the doctor said everything was going good. I didn't get to hear the heart beat though, maybe that's in the next appointment. Even though they told me everything is going well, im still scared because im afraid it will happen again. I try not to worry because i want everything to go okay, but its just a feeling that's with me after going through miscarriages twice.Can anyone please tell me what are the chances of miscarrying at 13 weeks? Can someone give me information about it? Thank you (Im not having intercourse with my partner no more)

I am newly pregnant with #2, and had a miscarriage back in Oct. '09. For this reason, my doc said they were going to monitor me closely during this pregnancy. So, I went two days ago for a blood test and it came back great. She said all the numbers were looking good, and then scheduled me for an ultrasound next week. IS THIS IT?! I don't know, but shouldn't I be getting bloodwork done a few times? To make sure the HCg is doubling or something?! Or, is it possible that they're not worried at all because of the first test results? For the ultrasound, I will only be about 5.5 weeks, so they're taking precautionary measures there. AM I OVER-REACTING?! Thanks! Ethel: I didn't know that. Thanks. :o) If they're not worried, I shouldn't be either. Maddy's Mommy: Thanks for including your personal experience. I feel better now. Thank you!

i went to the doctor about two weeks ago after having a m/c more than a month ago. I was worried that I was pregnant again. He gave me a test and It came out negative. As soon as I got home I got a phone call from the doctor that said that my test changed and that It was now positive. He then told me to go the hospital to take a blood test and it came out to be ++ 6 HCG. He told me to come in the next week. I went to the doctor yesterday and took a test again. It came back positive this time. So he did an ultrasound and didnt find anything. Could I really be pregnant? He told me he still not sure, so I have to go in again.

I'm only 14 weeks pregnant. I was 125 lbs and 5'7 before I got pregnant, very skinny, about size 5. My belly has popped out so big it sticks out futher than my boobs lol. This is my third baby. Why am I so big? I've had two ultrasounds, so I'm sure of the dates and twins has been ruled out. Sometimes I just feel like a huge blimp. :( My first was 8 lbs 5 oz, my daughter was premie (6 wks) but was still over 5 lbs and astounded the drs. This one will be a scheduled c section, so at least I won't have to worry about that. As far as the diabetes testing- my dr requires it with each pregnancy, so I'll have that done in two weeks

About 3 1/2 weeks ago, I went into false labor and was determined to be 1 cm dilated. I am now 39 1/2 weeks pregnant and my due date is Monday and the doctors are saying that I am only 2 cm dilated. During week 38, my baby's size was specified via ultrasound and she was determined to be in the 90th percentile and then weighed 8-9lbs and 7 ounces.Who knows how much weight she has gained since then. I am concerned for two reasons: First, I want to avoid having to have a c-section and with her size they already told me they didn't know if that was feasible and secondly I simply can't deal with this any longer. I've gained almost 70lbs with this child, my face has brutally broken out in boils and pimples that have spread from my face to my back, arms, stomach, and chest. I have hemorrhoids the size of a human male's nutsack hanging from my asshole. I can't sit down without my stomach resting upon my knees. I've had the mood swings of a peri-menopausal woman and done a lot of mean things to my husband throughout this pregnancy and I just want it to be over with. Luckily, she is very healthy and the docs have said that my pregnancy has been normal. If this is normal, I'd hate to see what dysfunction in this state of being is like. I have tried many things to get shit started...I drank a gallon of pineapple juice in the last two days because I heard there is a chemical in it that aids labor, I have done lunges and squats, I've had my husband pound it hard (sexually) to get shit going and the only progress I have made is that my mucus plug has been gradually coming out since Saturday night. Not to mention, I have walked around Wal-Mart for like four hours to no avail. I just don't want to be one of those women who surpass their due dates by a number of days. weeks. til upto a month because I am barely functioning now and I feel like I'm about to lose my mind. I've tried to talk my doctors into inducing me for the last few weeks but they refuse even though there is no medical reason why I should hold on for a few more days. I'm starting to hate them because it feels like they don't want to honor my wishes or even consider them. I've had one midwife tell me that if I surpass my due date they will run some tests and that they will induce at 42 weeks. I told another yesterday that they will have to induce me on Monday or else I'll find somebody else who will. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE!

I have been trying to get pregnant for a few months. My periods are usually regular but one month is was really late although i wasnt pregnant i finally got my period 2 weeks later then usual. I have been getting these pains in my lower abdoninmal i think both sides sometimes and not just during my period. they come about a week before sometimes. My dcotor gave me monastat and these pills for bacteria for 10 days. since i had quite a large peice of tissue come out of me two periods ago i let him know that as well. he gave me a pelvic ultrasound for tomorrow- im wrried why i havent been getting pregnant im 19 and should be very fertile. My boyfriend and i dont use protection and he still comes inside of me. This could be why i havent been getting pregnant but what could it be a syst? im wrorried what theyre going to do tomrrow?

i have a female miniature schnauzer thats around 3 years of age. about 20 days ago her and another schnauzer tied. shes showing all the signs of being pregnant, uber lazy, eating a lil less, staying very close to me. i have an ultrasound appointment set up for her two weeks from now. she just isnt showing so my question is should her belly be noticeable by now or does that come later.. thanks :) more info: i adopted her from a couple and when i got her i could tell that she had been pregnant before because her tits where a lil saggy, since she has tied ive noticed this week that her tits are starting to sag a lil more. ive heard of false pregnancy, so i worry if thats what is going on or if she really is. her nipps are black.... so will hers change to pink?

LONG story, please do not comment about how it was too long, I warned you in the beginning. My husband and I planned this pregnancy, I knew everything about my cycle, I knew I ovulated on the 10th of Feb, and I tested positive on a First Response test on the 19th of Feb. In total I took 5 pregnancy tests all positives and even went and had my pregnancy confirmed on the 23rd. Well, around the 22nd, I started having some abdominal pain and craming and midback pain, I'd had the pain before when I had a UTI so didn't think anything of it. But on the 24th while at work I was unable to stand up straight from the pain. I was rushed to the ER where I told them I was only 4 weeks pregnant (aka 2 weeks from conception) and I told them about my medical history of PCOS and UTI's. Well after 2 ultrasounds the ultrasound tech told me that you can't see anything usually until after 3 weeks post conception, which I understood. Anyways, fast forward 6 hours later. A nurse comes in my room and tells me she's going to give me morphine for the pain, at this I immediately say "No, I'm sure that isn't good for the baby." And at that she looked up at me and then to my husband and said, "So no one has been in to talk to you yet then?" And she excused herself only to come back and give me the injection telling me it would be alright for my "pregnancy"... after 20 minutes of morphine my dr who I had only seen once before came in the room and told me it was an ectopic pregnancy and they had to give me two injections to get rid of it. I broke down. I knew this was my baby, it was our first try and I had all the cards stacked against me with PCOS and thyroid disease. So... I accepted it and they gave me the two injections and told me that they would watch me for 30 min to see how I reacted. I didn't know what that meant but I trusted them. Last Friday I went to my own OB/GYN and had my hcg levels retested and an ultrasound. My hcg levels had doubled since they were tested in the ER on Wednesday, and on the ultrasound they still saw nothing. Another thing, all my pain had gone away, except for emotional pain of course. Well, Saturday I got really sick, I honestly thought I was dying. Worst cough of my life, I pulled muscles in my abdomen from it, high fever, unable to breathe easily, so I started researching the injections they gave me, Methotrexate. I was so surprised they NEVER explained what it was, what it did, that it was used in chemo, that it could lower my blood count which it did, I was shocked they had let that slip. Monday I went back to the Dr again for more HCG tests, at that appointment I was told my levels had doubled again and are now almost at 1000, only being 2.5 weeks pregnant, which was right on track for a regular pregnancy. My dr told me she hadn't seen many ectopic pregnancies get out of the 400hcg range, nor had she seen any women's levels continue to double after the MTX injections. She also continued to tell me, she had looked over my chart from the night at the ER and she had not seen anything besides abdominal pain to support their diagnosis. At this, I asked her if it were possible they were wrong and she said, it is very possible. I got my medical records within the hour after that conversation from the ER I had gone to, and went over my file myself. I looked at my own sonos and saw nothing but cysts on my ovaries which were NORMAL for me, i had told them about the PCOS already, and I thought "there is NO way they could of done that.." also noted was there was a fairly large amount of fluid in my abdomen. I've had cysts rupture before that were the size of oranges, and that was what my own OB told me she believed happened that day. So now, I'm wondering what to do? I find out tomorrow for sure if it is an intrauterine pregnancy, and if it is we now have to live with the fact that due to the Methrotrexate they gave me, my baby will likely be born with severe birth defects or mental disabilities. I'm flat out angry about this whole situation, I trusted the ER doctors to tell me the truth, to tell me they weren't sure what it was rather than inject me with poison. To top it all off, they measured one of my cysts and referred to it as the ectopic pregnancy (even though they stated there was no sac or embryo present) in their report and dated my pregnancy at 5 weeks and 1 day. They never would have made this mistake if they had listened to me when I told them when my LMP was and had listened to me when I told them I ovulated on the 10th, so there was no medical way for me to be 5weeks 1 day prego. I don't know what to do now, this has been the longest emotional rollercoaster of my life, and I'm tired, but I'm angry too. What would you do if this happened to you? I'm terrified, and simply trying to hold on at this point. I just really need some advice, if this has happend to anyone you know, were their children born normal? I can't terminate this pregnancy if it h *I can't term

I have a 16 month old baby boy. We started trying again in August 2009 and I got pregnant the first try. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. We waited a month as the doctor recommended and got pregnant again two months after. I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks in December. We waited again and were using protection but two months later I got pregnant again. At 5 weeks I miscarried this one just today. I have had ultrasounds and blood tests and I was told it was bad luck and that since I have a very healthy baby boy it speaks wonders for us. I am beginning to hate myself for this and I cannot stop blaming myself. I feel like giving up but I want more kids so badly. Has anyone ever experienced this and still went on to have a healthy baby?

On Friday the 13th of August, I had to have my left testicle removed. I found a lump some time about March. I went to see a doctor soon after and he thought it was just an infection, so he gave me antibiotics. The lump remained and it got bigger. In the last few weeks I saw a doctor again and I arranged to have an ultrasound scan. Then today I went to see a specialist. He examined me but he wasn't experienced enough to know what was wrong. He called in his boss, who also examined me, and then I was told that I would have to have my keft testicle removed. I've never had to have surgery before. I don't know what it's like. I've been so stressed out. I cried as I walked through the hospital my clothes were full off tears. I coundnt talk for month coz i was up set to get a blood test and a chest X-ray. I had to phone up my school to tell them that I can't come for 4 weeks. It was so difficult to talk because I was crying. I also can't go weight training or cycling for a month. On the 19th and 20th, I have to take exams for school Women laugh at men who only have one testicle, don't they or the dont care can i still get the sexy girl i like pregnant ? :o( I think I'd like to have an implant i want a testical doner a real testical not a fake one . It feels like a bad dream. . Please don't spread let people have two testicals. I was given these information booklets about surgery to remove a testicle. One of them says "Sexual intercourse can resume 1-2 weeks later." f.ck you. Do you know who Lance Armstrong is? He got testicular cancer but he went on to win the Tour de France 6 times in a row.

I have had all pregnancy symptoms-nausea, headache, fatique, etc. I took a hpt and it came back negative. I went to the dr and the urine test came back negative-still trying to figure out why they didn't do the bld test. I have an ultrasound scheduled for Thursday. I'm confused because I feel and look pregnant but I still have been bleeding once a month and also have spotted for a few days about a week before I start bleeding. I have even been feeling flutters in my stomach and for the last two days they have been more frequent and harder than before. So my question is, is it possible that I am pregnant or is this all in my head? All of my other pregnancies were normal, but since I'm older, I didn't know if my age could be the cause of my body reacting differently than it did when I was in my 20s. Please, only sincere answers. Thanks.

My wife has had some dark brown discharge over the past five days after she uses the bathroom and wipes. We had an ultrasound on day two during this and everything was fine with the baby (growing and heartbeat). My wife is in good spirits, no cramping but has round ligament pain. Is this something we should be concerned about and what should we do?

I have been to 2 different doctors with 2 different ultrasounds and they both agree i am 13 weeks but one gave me a due date of September 5th and the other August 18th, huge difference please help!!!!

I am 33 weeks pregnant and I am measuring about 2 to 3 weeks ahead. I have had ultrasounds where one day it will show a girl and then surprise, surprise next it will show a boy. From 17 weeks to 24 weeks it was a girl, And then 25 weeks to present it has been a boy. At my first u/s we saw two sacs side by side and the at my next one 2 weeks later the two disappeared and we could only see one sac. I have heard two heartbeats, where you can hear one heartbeat and then the other one right on top of that one, not mine, as I run 99 and these run 132 and 160. I thought I was possibly further along and that'ss why I am so big, but the baby they can see only weighs 3lbs 6ozs. Actually little for his gestational age, my doctor is actually woried about his weight, and tells me he will only 5 to 5 1/2 lbs at 39 weeks, my scheuduled csection. HE is located in my pelvis and has been for 6 weeks. I have also been having contractions for close to a month, with no dialation. I feel movement everywhere and all the time. And I have the same reacurring dream of twins, a boy and a girl. Oh and my placenta looks like the top of heart flipped upside down. And I am not carrying alot of water, just barely enough. My friends and family think its possible as do I. But my doctor wont even entertain the thought of it being twins. This is not my first pregnancy, it is my fourth, so I dont really think I am dumb on the subject. Just wonderin what someone else thought. Nurses and doctors opinions welcome.
