Hello All. I could use some advise. I am currently 6 weeks preg. I have one 3yr old daughter no problem pregnancy. I have had 3 misscarriages early ,one was a blighted ovum and one ectopic pregnancy that did no damage but I did have surgury. I have a few clotting disorders such as MTHFR and I am on heprin shots once a day, 81mg asprin and a coctail of vitamins. Yesterday I was so excited to hear the see the heartbeat on an ultrasound! The dr also saw what he said was an implantation bleed in the uturus and told me not to worry about it or any bleeding I may have. Then when I got my blood results back from yesterday, my HCG levels took 6 days to double and are at 5900 and my progesterone had dropped from 39 to 23 in a weeks time. I have been trying to do as much reseaerch as possible to ease my mind. I have heard cases where the hcg does not double as fast as usual but things work out. I am now trying to figure out what to do about my progesterone. Nurse at my drs office said there is nothing that can be done if you are going to misscarry but she said seing a heartbeat was a good sign. I talked her into getting me an appointment this friday to check the progress. I was on prometrium with the last misscarriage d have the prescription still in my med cabinet. I just took one vagionally but it does say do not take if you have a clotting dissorder.. Has anyone been put on this with a clotting disorder. I have not told my dr that I am taking it due to the fact I just now took it and they seem to have the opinion that nothing will help anyway. And still with the drop in progesterone the level 23 is in the okay range..... but I dont want it to drop anymore. I know there is a contraversy if the progesterne even helps at all. Another question is about vanishing twin syndrome.. wonder if that coud have happened to me and that is the blood they saw in the uterus??? Any thoughts. Thanks so much!
