Worried... What are my chances??

[tilygirl]

Thanks BexKitty for your story, I am so hoping this happens to me!
Has anyone had any experience with progesterone, ie stopping then miscarrying??

Oh tily so sorry you are in this place of uncertainty again. I have a retroverted uterus but no trouble seeing bubs. My experience with being behind is not positive but I hope you are a success story. Much love xoxo M

Oh i'm so sorry to see this post

With a blighted ovum (or a missed miscarriage), the placenta part of conception continues to develop and make your body think it is supporting a baby...and therefore you hcg keeps climbing as it normally would and you have all pregnancy symptoms...however the baby stops developing. It seems like a very cruel trick!

My first miscarriage was one of these...so my heart goes out to you in this uncertainty.
For me i went for a scan at 9weeks (because i thought i was having twins i was showing that much!)and they picked it up. No fetal pole, no HB, and a very small yolk sack. Was measuring like 5weeks or something like that. She told me that it could either be a blighted ovum or my dates were wrong. I knew that my dates weren't wrong (especially by 4 weeks!!). I had hcg checked and it had started to drop by that point but it was still in the 100's of thousands. I didn't miscarry for another three weeks until it had started to drop right off. I did have another scan two weeks (i think) after and it had gotten even smaller.

I will be praying that maybe your dates are wrong....but in case they arent' I just wanted to explain what is happening. And once again i'm so very sorry to hear xx

hi tilygirl,

sorry you are going through this uncertainty, i have had 2 pregnancies where the baby measured a week behind and neither one ended well, i hope yours is a different story :-)

in regards to the progesterone i was on it in my last pregnancy and i kept going until the next scan 2 weeks later which confirmed it was over and then i stopped it and the miscarriage started a few days later, so yes for me the progesterone kept onto the pregnancy even though it was over

Thanks everyone for your honesty.
I am basing my dates on my LMP but I really have no idea when I ovulated. I wasn't testing and I wasn't taking any medications.
I have previously used clomid for other pregnancies and was charting temps and using OPK's.
This pregnancy was a complete accident, a natural pregnancy.
I'm not sure why I thought this pregnancy would be any different. I think I thought that because it happened naturally, that is was meant to be??

There is a slim chance that dates they are suggesting could be possible... but it's a long shot. Maybe I'm just clutching at straws??
We BD twice, first at cd12 which is when I was assuming I concieved. We also BD and again at cd24.
I POAS 29/12 (cd35) when I assumed I was 5w and 22 days post ovulation, based on my LMP and luteal phase of 14 days. It was a really strong pos (which I haven't had before, because I am normally POAS from cd28 and is a faint pos). So I assumed that 5w made sense. Based on scan dates on the I would have POAS at around 10 days post ovulation and got the strong pos??
I have always had a 28-31 day cycle so I had just ruled out getting pregnant on cd24, but it was only my 2nd cycle after Lucy so maybe I was still out of wack?

Still the only way we will know is by the 2nd scan. I just received a call form my FS rooms and they want me to have the scan in 2ish weeks with my FS, but she is completely booked out. They are going to try and squeeze my in on the 20th, but will call me back on Monday when my FS is back from leave.
So 8 more sleeps to ponder the what ifs...

Thanks so much for everyone's support xx
