Help needed

They were both natural. First one ultrasound confirmed that the baby stopped growing at 5 weeks 4 days and I started bleeding at 7 weeks 1 day. The second one I started bleeding at 5 weeks 4 days and never had an ultrasound but my numbers never got very high. Only around 138.

Now I'm no expect but this doesn't sound like a progesterone problem. Once you've ovulated your body starts producing progesterone in preparation to support a pregnancy, if pregnancy doesn't occur the progesterone drops and you start bleeding (so the drop in progesterone causes bleeding). If the baby passed before bleeding that would imply there was a chromosome or other problem. You're body then realising, dropped the progesterone so you could miscarry. There is debate as to whether progesterone dropping is the bodies way of ending a pregnancy that is not viable anyway... If you were miscarry ing and the first symptom were bleeding that would seem to me to indicate a progesterone problem or even chemical pregnancy due to lack of lining for proper implantation, but it sounds as though both pregnancies just weren't to be. As I said I'm no expert, just my analysis and thoughts! In any case I am deeply sorry for your losses and hope there are no more!!

The reason the numbers stay low is because the baby itself is not providing the proper chemical feedback to sustain the pregnancy. If something is going wrong with its development then your body senses it and sort of conserves resources in favor of future pregnancies.

Thank you ladies. You have made me feel so much better. I feel so much less "broken" and so much more that there was just something wrong with the babies. I still have anxiety about trying about but, I'm takin my folic acid and surprisingly, this new "project" of mine, meaning the LE diet and swaying, is really helping keeping my mind busy.
