Pregnancy after losses & the waiting game
So in the past 9 months I’ve had three miscarriages. After the last one I was referred to a RE specialist & diagnosed with MTHFR one gene mutation. Now I’m supplemented on metanx (prescription methylfolate) baby aspirin & honest brand prenatals with methylfolate not folic acid! I’ve read women with this mutation have had success when properly being supplemented so I’m hopeful yet realistic.
I’m actually just over 4 weeks now & so far things look good, even better, than ever before. I did have a tiny bit of brown spotting when I wiped but my ob said that’s ok & old blood.
First miscarriage my levels never went above 25. Second (blighted ovum) I was diagnosed at 7 weeks levels were high but didn’t double & progesterone was a 8.5. Third miscarriage my hcg was 20 & progesterone was 11.
This pregnancy my 4 week hcg was 400, progesterone is 25. I have my next level check tomorrow & I’m so nervous/anxious.
I’ve had two friends tell me that they’re pregnant in the past few days & it’s so hard keeping my secret but my husband & I decided to wait about 8 weeks to tell immediate family & friends. My one friend is 2 weeks ahead of me & she kept saying she hopes I get pregnant & we can take cute belly pics & it was so hard not smiling.
I’m hoping this is my rainbow 🌈
Baby dust girls & don’t give up the fight 💪🏻
