Pregnancy Info HOME

I am so glad I found this site. I am sad to read many of complications others are experiencing but I am also happy to hear success stories as well. I am 5.5 weeks pregnant and my levels are not rising enough. I was only given my first number which was 12 and have been tested 3 times since. The second number only went up 50% the third number went up 66% and the doc thought things were going better. They put me on progesterone supp and thought that would do the trick. However I had an ultrasound early this week to rule out ectopic pregnancy and they were unable to see anything in the uteris or tube. So they tested my blood again and rescheduled another ultrasound for next week. Doc called this afternoon and said the number only went up 59% and it is still way too low. They are again suspecting ectopic preg. or a biochemical preg. I still am holding on to a little hope and am praying that everything is fine and the numbers are just low. I have read several messages from women saying their numbers were low and delivered healthy babies. However I am not feeling the same pregnant feeling I had a week ago. My breasts aren't as sore and the nausea has stopped. Anyway, I am waiting to miscarry any day and have this fear now that it could be an ectopic pregancy (although I have had no pain). I delivered a healthy baby girl 4 years ago with no complications. Didn't know I was pregnant with her until 9 weeks and by then my numbers were all normal...so I can't compare the two pregnancies. Since then I have found out that I have poly-cystic ovaries. We have been trying to get pregnant for a year now and this pregnancy was only successful after using Clomid. Any information or input you could provide would be so appreciated. I will continue to pray for all of you and my heart goes out to each of you. This is the toughest thing I have had to go through. My husband understands but continues to tell me not to worry and try and put it out of my head. I just can't do that. I will be 35 and feel that time is ticking away.
