I found out I was pregnant on June 18, 2005. I went to the doctor on July 8 and was judged to be 6 weeks and 5 days along. I began to miscarry on July 27 and had a D&C on Aug 2. Foetal death was measured (a crown to rump measurement was taken) as 7 weeks and 2 days. I was surprised the the actual physical symptoms of the miscarriage took so long to show up. I am pregnant again - this time 6 weeks and 1 day as of today and I was put on Prometrium as of yesterday due to a slightly low progesterone level. I have now taken 3 doses and have been able to keep the expected nausea at bay with continuous nibbles instead of 3 square meals. But the fatigue is beginning to hit. For all of you verterans - does it get better or will it be like this for the duration of the course of medication?
Also - I wondered if maybe I am scerwing with nature? Am I "holding" a pregnancy that should otherwise naturally terminated?
