Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hi there , For all those who remember that I announced that due to LDN, I believe in large part, I became unexpectedly pregnant at 43. Well, unfortunately it has come to an end. I had an ultrasound, which showed I was either way off on my date of conception, or the baby wasn't developing. After doing some research I realized that it is impossible to conceive on Feb 3rd (ie do the deed ) and have a + test only 5 days later, and a blood test of 4610 iu /ml HCG 8 days later. After a 2nd ultrasound and still an embryo at not quite 6 weeks, when I should be 8 weeks, I opted for the D & C. Perhaps I jumped the gun, but we had mixed feelings about the pregnancy. The irony is, my husband, who was at first very angry/shocked , was the one who stopped me from having an abortion the first time I booked it. Just the day before the ultrasound we were definitely planning for a baby. I was afraid, not so much that I would miscarry, which seemed likely, but that should I avoid that, the baby would have problems, and that by 12 weeks I would be attached and it would be worse. I did take celebrex during the first 3 weeks when I didn't know I was pg, and this can lead to implantation problems and septic heart defects. We were also at Disney and I went on every ride possible that had warnings for pregnant women. Statistics are not conclusive on this, but I was looking at a baby that was small for dates so early on. The only reasonable day of conception was Jan 14th, so according to all of this it did not look good. This is very complicated for me, as I am mourning as a miscarriage and abortion at the same time. The irony is, I am doing very well physically , and I thought this was due to immunosuppressive effects of pregnancy, but actually it must be due to LDN. I have not taken celebrex since Feb 9 except to heal from the procedure for a few days. Thank you all for the support during the time when I had questions. And, for those who wish to become pregnant, go for it, for those who don't , BE CAREFUL! Kinga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
