Half-Expecting

Don't you think that would be a great new name for my blog? As in, I'm on my 3rd pregnancy in the span of 9 months and I still half-expect the arrival of a live baby? Of course, I also half-expect to wake up 6 inches taller and ten pounds thinner. Regular pregnant ladies get to say, "I'm expecting." But we recurrent miscarriers daren't do more than half-expect.

Beta was 300-somethingish. Can't even remember, but double what it was with the blighted ovum at the same gestational date. V. sore boobs, crazy fatigue, no sick yet (knock would, cross fingers, toss salt, etc.). So um, 1st ultrasound to look for sac is Friday and I think I'm just too stupified with fatigue to write anything else.

Thank you for the comments, my loyal old friends on the internet. I go back and forth on whether to tell the world at large about each new pregnancy. Last time I told everyone who so much as said hello to me, but this time, it's just you Nets. SO *thanks* for the support and good wishes.

Are you taking any meds? I wish I could find a tube of "embryo sticky glue." Glad to hear the beta's are lokkin' good!!

Hillary-

Thanks for stopping by. No, I am not on any meds, apart from synthroid. My *official* diagnosis is unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. A medical recap: I have been screened for everything under the sun. I have consulted: 5 RE's, 3 endocrinologists, a rheumotologist,a hemotologist,an infectious disease specialist, and a placental pathologist. My husband and I have both had complete karyotyping. I have had an HSG and exploratory D&C (in addition to 4 theraputic ones for missed misacrriages). All results, apart from the Hashimoto's, are normal normal normal. As Dr. Cookie Pie said to me this week, "honey, you are a true enigma."
