I just wanted to update you. On 9/17 I was about 9DPO and my Hcg was 18.9. On 9/19 my Hcg was 58.1!
They were both taken at the same time...I'm going again today, and I expect them to start going up more quickly now. Thanks for the prayers and keep em' coming!

DawnMarie - I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been "nostalgia" reading this thread, I was a spring 08 mom and was so saddened to read about your loss. You've been so inspiring on this thread and so strong for everyone.
I m/c in July 07 under similar circumstances. I went in for my 10 week appt, and was suprised to hear there were two babies! However, both had stopped developing at 7 weeks. Like you, I still felt pregnant and nothing signaled to me that anything was wrong. It was a devestating blow. I grieved for weeks afterward and still feel a sense of loss over that pregnancy.
My prayers are with you and your entire family for healing and peace for this terrible loss.

Dawn Marie, I am so very truely sorry for your loss. I now know why you have been on my mind so much lately. I don't have the magic words to say but I am learning with my experience the best thing to say is, "I'll pray for you" I pray that God will give you the strength and the courage to make it through. If there is anything I can do please let me know. Praying that God will comfort you, Eddie and your family in a way that only he can.
I have bad news for you. I had a misscarriage today. I was having cramps all day yesterday and I started bleeding last night after I came from church. Today I decided to go to the emergency room and the ultrasound didn't show the baby's heartbeat; it was also smaller for eleven weeks, I was showing seven wks from the measurements the baby was giving. Anyway, I had a D&C a few hours later, it seems the baby was already dead three weeks ago. How I was suppose to know? I was still having pg symptoms (m/s, tire all the time, I was feeling bloated for the past three days, and I was eating like a cow for God sake!) This is very dissappointing but God is giving us the strength to face reality. I guess Eddie Jr is going to stay the baby in the house because my husband and I decided not to try to conceive anymore. I'm ok with that decision, is too depressing, physically and mentally.
Good luck to all the preggo ladies....I wish you a healthy pg and a healthy baby. God bless you sisters!
