I joined this website just over a week ago, excited and overjoyed. At 36 (BDay today!!!) after 18 months (not long but long enough for me) I found we were expecting a baby for the first time. "Don't get too excited" the few people I spoke to said - Rubbish!! How can you not be excited?
So 8 days on, 4 visits to the hospital for scans and bloods and another scan this Friday and I find that it's a delayed miscarriage and I have a 'complex' ovary (whatever that means, I'll find out next week) - loads of HCG but not enough progesterone.
I was very upset but found this website sooooo helpful. It really is good to read about the experiences of others and prove that you're not alone, especially as my husband works 400 miles away at the moment and I have few other women on the workplace to talk with. Again, the few people I spoke to said things like - 'never mind, it was only 5 weeks - you can't get that attached etc...... being able to use a website like this is great.
Anyway, I digress.... after a few days of feeling sorry for myself at least I know that we are actually capable of conceiving - something I wasn't sure about until I got a positive result. Time to eat well, look after myself, get those HCG levels down and hope to see you all in the next few months.
Hopefully by then I'll have learnt how to put all those cool counters and pictures on my posts!
