Pregnancy Info HOME

liz and cate: i had very low hcg levels, and the dr.'s thought i had miscarried. however, they were wrong, and i'm now 20 weeks along. they can only say it's a miracle---can't explain it. we almost had a d&c but did one last ultrasound, and there he was! so, i don't wanna give false hopes, but i do want to give peace of mind. secondly, addressing cate specifically, i am one who has been on hormone replacement therapy (progesterone) for years now and continue to take my hormones through the first trimester. i also have hypothyroidism, so i have to keep up my med.'s on that to susatain my pregnancy as well. therefore, we do lots of monitoring and blood testing, esp. as the baby taxes my body more as the pregnancy goes on. my first pregnancy went well, even with my taking an anti-seizure med. so far, this one is going just great, too. all that to say that there are some things worth checking out/doing/treating/etc. that may help. this includes ELISA/ACT allergy and heavy metals testing, etc.
