i m a mother of almost 4yrs olds little princess & hv a hypothyroid condition but well controlled via daily intake of tab.thyroxine(1 tab a day)... i suffered frm 2 consecutive missed abortions due 2 lack of fetal-cardiac activity (in june2009 & march2010) thtz y my gyno prescribed me tab.folic acid & tab.ascard (both the tab once daily) whenevr i missed my nxt period (2 prevent the risk of nxt missed abortion of the same kind)... now once again v r trying 2 conceive our nxt family member ...usually my menses cycle consists of 32-40 days since last around four yrs... 19-12-2010 was the date of my last periods & still m waiting 4 my this month's periods but no prominent symptoms yet... in the meanwhile i m feeling a bit strange changes in my body like
2. on & off backache
3. tooooo tired almost all the time
4. smell sensitivity
5. very prominent/unusual bulge of my lower belly
6. very uncomfortable sleeps due to stressful & some time mildly painful feelings around my belly-button (the naval area)
7. almost all the time i feel like my lower legs r un able 2 carry my body & feel it soooo painful...
All the above mentioned signs r confusing me alot...whether i m pregoo or they r just the signs of pre-menses syndrome? ... actually i didnt check my hcg harmone yet coz though i wud luv 2 hv my nxt baby asap but still i m too scared of my nxt pregnancy if once again i cudnt carry tht fetus properly & ended up in another missed abortion etc... so HELP ME OUT PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Hi SNQ,
January 28, 2011 - 9:25amThank you for being a part of the EmpowHER community. I know you have had troubles in the past with your health, and have posted before here.
I know how you feel with wanting to know if you are pregnant, or if you are awaiting your period. Since it has been longer than 30days since your last period, I personally think it may be time to take a home pregnancy test, or call your doctor to request a test from them. They also would be able to get you in for a sono if needed, and given your history, they may want to check things out in case you are pregnant to verify if the pregnancy is viable. I am well-familiar with all you are going through with the miscarriages (not the thyroid condition though, so you have me beat there). I know how scary and heart-wrenching it is, but if you are trying, you may want to get on top of things and deal with this in case you are pregnant, so everything can be done to try and make a pregnancy viable (in case you can be given supplements to improve your chances, etc.).
Good luck, and let us know what you find out.
