Cate and Beth: I almost feel a little guitly about having to report this, but fate is not on my side this time. My husand heard back from the dr. hcg humbers were only in the 1400's which he said was low (I'll be 7 weeks on Thursday- and also, I'm cramping and actually bleeding, now. So I'll probably just skip the ultrasound appt. on Thursday and have some bloods drawn in a few days to make sure numbers are trending down. It's weird...I feel like the pain of this was much worse when I received my first set of hcg numbers at 4.5 weeks. When the number was only 180, my heart just sank, it's as if I knew then and began preparing myself. So when at 6 wks. there was nothing on the ultrasound, it was upsetting, but didn't destroy me. When I hear about your experience Cate. at 10 and 16 weeks-after hearing the heartbeat, and actually seeing your baby boy ...man; I can't imagine how difficult that must have been. All in all, I feel nature has been kind to me--that it's still early and that my body seems to be giving it up naturally. But, with this second miscarriage, my hopes for a baby are getting more and more dim. Maybe it's not meant to be for us. Thanks for being here, you two. It's been VERY helpful for me to have a forum for this. Cate: please keep us posted, I'm pulling for you. Beth-we're in the same space now....a lot to ponder. Be well all.
