Thank you all for your responses. I have been calling around to different OB's and no one can get me in right away, even explaining the situation. How sad.
The lines on the tests I have been taking have darkened a little and I am starting to feel queasy at times. Praying that is a good sign. I have never been so happy to feel nauseous

Here Here on the nausea! With this pregnancy I have never been so happy to be sick either! I'll keep praying for you to find a new and wonderful OB.
Those darker lines and that nausea are good signs!
God bless,

I wanted to update you all on what was going on with me. I did end up miscarrying this baby on my daughter's 9th birthday.  Unfortunately I could not get in right away with any OB because I was a new patient. It was so frustrating. I am so saddened by this but there was nothing I could do.
I guess the good out of all of this was that I did find a new OB. I had an appt. today and she was wonderful! She didn't blink an eye that we had six children and wanted more. She was very reassuring and told me to just relax and the minute I get another positive test or if I even think I am pregnant to give her a call and she would start me on the Progesterone right away. She seems like a very nice lady and a wonderful doctor.
Thanks for your prayers and your advice and for letting me share.

Oh Kirsten, I'm so glad you let us know what happened - I have been wondering. And I'm so sorry for your loss. Many prayers for you as you grieve.
I am so relieved that you have found what sounds like a supportive OB. I know it will take time for God to heal you of this loss, but when you're ready and suspect you're pregnant, get in to the doctor right away. I have 3 children (one about to be born) that are living proof that early progesterone intervention WORKS!

I very am sorry for your loss, our situation sounds identical. I miscarried 2 weeks ago and I had a very weak test. When I had the ultrasound at "7" weeks the baby was 10 days smaller than it should have been. I was not confident from the beginning, and I did obsess for 10 weeks over the weak test. My first miscarriage also came on a daughters birthday. That is quite difficult sitution being happy for your birthday child while you are so sad inside.
As a side note, the FDA has decided to make a few changes that could impact the future of progesterone treatments. I say could because right now the FDA is focusing on bio-identical estrogen products but I would not be surprised to see it turn to focus on progesterone later on....
""will eliminate false claims that hormone products made by compound pharmacists for individual clients are any safer, effective or natural than FDA-approved drugs. "Claims like these mislead consumers and health-care providers with inaccurate information," said Deborah Autor, director of the of the office of compliance in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the FDA, at a recent briefing. In announcing the crackdown, FDA officials went so far as to say that they would consider any commercial use of the term "bio-identical" to be considered "false and misleading." (At a recent press briefing, FDA officials said they would like to see the term bio-identical disappear altogether...""

Kirsten,
I am so sorry! This year I felt worse for my son, Kevin, who wanted so much to have a baby on his birthday, Sept. 1. (The baby was due in Sept.) He was so upset when we burried out little Lewis Francis. Then we were pregnant again and lost the baby the day before his 9th birthday.
I am so glad you found a more supportive doctor and I'll contine to pray for you.
God bless,
Kristen in TN
