I have a couple of questions for you guys... I am 39 years old. I had two miscarriages last year (8 wks and 4 wks). We have always gotten pregnant after one or two tries. We started seeing a specialist who conducted every test in the book, including the dye test, and found nothing wrong (nothing that points to reasons for the miscarriages). So we are trying progesterone suppositories, baby aspirin, pre-natal vitamins, two additional mg of folic acid a day and 50 mg of thyroid meds a day. Now, we are pregnant again.
I went in for an ultrasound on Tuesday (exactly six weeks pregnant) due to some brown spotting. They said this spotting is quite common with the progesterone. The scary thing is they saw the gestational sac but no yolk sac or fetal pole. He said the yolk sac starts developing at 5 1/2 weeks so he is concerned the pregnancy isn't progressing as it should. I have scheduled another ultrasound on Monday (six weeks and six days) to decide on viability.
How concernd do you think I should be that we didn't at least see the yolk sac at six weeks???
My other questions is, I understand that my age plays a huge factor is getting quality eggs. How can we increase quality of eggs?? We didn't do the HCG shots- would that increase the quality of the eggs?
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
