[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope is a double edged sword but I was given a similar outlook with my first. I went into mourning - absolute devastation - and long story short I now have a healthy 2 year old. I really feel like I totally missed out (understandably) on that time. Ironically when I got pregnant again I decided not to stress at all and just enjoy it because I had no symptoms to the contrary and I had a missed miscarriage. But I’m so glad I enjoyed and celebrated that pregnancy unlike what I did with the first. All of this stuff is so out of our hands, and it’s taught me a lot about control. Pregnancy is fraught with anxiety and emotion that no one talks about. Religion in my case has helped a lot too. Sending best wishes and prayers. [/quote]

That’s interesting to know! Do you mind if I ask what your initial scan was like? [/quote]

I had full on period bleeding, HCG was just inching along, and baby was measuring over a week behind. Turns out I had dangerously low progesterone (went on PIO shots) and scans just aren’t that accurate. And 2 years later, everything looked good for 8 weeks only to end with a missed miscarriage. I just don’t think there’s any way to know. [/quote]

DP.

I posted in the other thread about getting your progesterone checked, especially when you are AMA.

For future reference, get to the ob early and have it monitored. If it’s low or even borderline, go on progesterone. I stopped miscarrying once my ob took me seriously, tested early on and I went on it immediately after a positive pregnancy test. [/quote]
