OK - so I am officially PG. I should be excited... but there are a ton of circumstances,

I had a normal period (Prior to HPT showing positive)

hcg count in low and rising SLOWLY

Progesterone is good 24.5

cramping and brown spotting today on and off

with a history of m/c and no babies yet I am very upset. Why does my body keep rejecting my pregnancies? This will be my 3rd m/c. I have just a bout lost hope. I got for more blood work tomorrow. Does anyone have any positive thoughts or do you agree with the DR that "it doesn't look promising"...

Our God in heaven can make all things work. It is not over til it is over. Rest, put your feet up and take it easy. Pray and keep a positive outlook. I know that is easier said than done. Just keep the faith.

My cousin had a child when she was 23, but since the father ran out and she had little money, she decide to give the child away through an "open adoption." She got to pick the couple, and she maintains a relationship with them and her daughter.

She chose a couple that had a series of m/c's, and just couldn't seem to have a child. Well, wouldn't you know it.... they just had a healthy baby boy of their own!

Good luck, and keep the positive thoughts going.

Hi. Ijust wanted to tell you that I have had three miscarriages, so I know how you feel right now!!! First of all, do not give up hope. My pregnancy with my son also "Didn't look promising" I think my levels were only 12 that first test. But then, wouldn't you know it, two days later, my levels doubled!! And two more days later, they doubled again. Everything worked out fine (that time) But I have to tell you the brown spotting can be a bad sign. Best thing you can do right now is lay down as much as possible, and let that ovum get imbedded tightly! If this pregnancy fails, definitely find out how your progesterone levels are. That is often a major cause of repeat miscarriages. (that is my problem, too) I need to be on P suppliments right after my period ends to help build up my uterus lining. Otherwise, the baby doesn't have enough to cling onto and get nourishment from. Good luck! I hope everything works out. Let us know either way!!!!

first thing, don't say "this will be m/c 3". positive thinking! say, "i've had 2 m/c before". it's so early to know what will happen, and don't think you're alone at all in having trouble with m/c. i know a woman (i graduated with her daughter, actually) who had 3 m/c before having a successful pregnancy. i believe she has 5 kids now? maybe 6 - i can't keep the younger boys straight enough to remember how many of them there are. and besides that, only 1 of every 6 "pregnancies" result in births - just most of those m/cs are so early that the women didn't have a chance to realize they were pregnant. maybe you were just unlucky enough to find out you were pregnant too soon. but anyway, good luck!

I wanted to see how things are for you today? Are you taking it easy?

I wanted to tell you a quick story. If my mother had listened to the doctors, I would have never been born. They continued to tell her she was not pregnant. Gave her pills to make her start (more than once). When she finally started, she was himorraging (sp). The ER DR and her O/B both suggested that she abort the pregnancy. She refused and bled like that the entire time she was pregnant. Went into labor and just before I was born, they knocked her out because they thought that I would be deformed. I truned out to be very healthy and her last child. So, when I say that all things are possible through God, they are and I am living proof. So hold your chin up and think positive thoughts. It maybe that this is or is not the one you will carry to term, but I have faith that you will have that child you want. My prayers are with you.

Let me know how you are doing.
