I am 37 years old and I have 2 children. I lost a baby when I was 31, at 17weeks. My periods have always been long, and I had to use clomid to conceive my second child. I ovulate around day 19 of my cycle.
My recent concern is this is day 54 and I feel pregnant. I have taken 3 tests and all are negative, and as much as I am relaxed about having another child at my age, and feel that if I am pregnant I will soon now for sure when nothing fits (haha)...a part of me worries that I am an older mother now and if tests are showing up negative and I am pregnant with history of miscarraige if I should insist on a blood test or ultrasound to verify one was or the other.
Does anyone know if HCG hormone is lower in older mothers?
When I had my second child with clomid I had to have blood tests done every other day once I had a positive test, to check & see if the hormone was increasing properly.
When I lost the babay at 31 they thought I had a molar pregnancy but the pathology report didn't support it.
I also have a blood clotting disorder that worries me.
Any thoughts?
