Hello,
It's my first time on any chat forum and I am looking for some advice. I have had two miracle sons and I have now had two miscarriages, the first on 13 August 2012 at 7 weeks, the second on 1 March 2013 at 20 weeks. At my scan at 20 weeks they couldn't find my sons heartbeat and we found out 8 weeks later it was to due to a placenta malfunction. It was devastating having to deliver him as I had got over my previous miscarriage by fortunately getting pregnant again. Now All I want is to get pregnant again however I have no idea when I am ovulating due to such an irregular cycle. I have test kits now but don't even know when to try, I have so many questions and so much pain. Test results show I have NK killer cells which reject emryo's and I am high risk and have to take a concoction of drugs including steroids, which obviously have huge side-effects, to apparently hold on to my next pregnancy. Is anyone else in this position that can share with me? My late miscarriage has left me in free-fall, not a day goes by without thinking about it and I've now given up a successful career and would rather not leave the house. I would welcome your opinions and experiences. I would just like to find another rainbow. Thank you.
Sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and health challenges. What are your doctors advising at this point?
I can understand feeling like you are free-falling and also having sacrificed a career for hoping to have a larger family. It all comes together with with the grief. And having health challenges in addition... that's heart-breaking.
Are you getting any emotional support from family, friends, or a grief counselor to help you through this time?
For me, I'm just chugging along at this point. If I have another loss I will probably stop trying though and move on to adoption. The loss was so hard to handle.
Sending my thoughts and prayers your way.
