Afraid to test

    @Autumnmama79: I was put on progesterone, but they straight up said it was unlikely to make a difference and was only to give me some peace of mind. I was also put on a very high dose of folate after our third (late) loss, because her issue was hydrocephalus and folate helps with brain development. Beyond that there was really nothing to do.

    @Autumnmama79: congratulations mama. I get what you are feeling. I'm terrified too. I'm also in Canada and I don't find that P is readily prescribed here. I went in to ask my doctor to give me a requisition for serial betas and it was tough to get him to even agree to that. Then I asked him if I could get my P checked and he flat out said no. At any rate best wishes for a healthy pregnancy! Hope to see you over on the May boards soon.

    @Torchwood: I realize that theres not much they can do after loss, but even any little bit...

    @delight: So weird that they won't even test! Sorry you're getting stonewalled the same way I am. I didn't realize there was a May thread already but, see you there

    @Nutella: Thank you.

    @Autumnmama79: It really sucks how little there is you/they can do. It seems like in this day and age there would be more, but doesn't seem like much has changed. It's still "if you're going to lose the baby there's nothing we can do."

    @Autumnmama79: I like themeditationpodcast.com. I found it on the iTunes podcast app. I use it a lot before bed or late afternoon since my anxiety tends to ramp up throughout the day.

    I hope it helps- there are a lot of free meditation podcasts out there, i just kept trying different ones until I found one where the voices didn't grate on my nerves.

    Hope you're getting some rest this weekend.
