6 months + since mc and no luck getting pregnant... Come join me in the wait!!

Good luck for your scan Amanda. I was nervous for mine too but luckily the placenta has moved. I've had 2 friends who had c sections, one planned and one emergency. The recovery time is longer but they've had no real problems because of it. I can understand why you're worried though Can I ask why they'd section you at 36 weeks? I was told I would have another scan at 36 weeks then if it still hadn't moved it would be a section at 39 weeks.

Hope all you ttcers are keeping busy and trying not to let it get you down. This time last year I was going through my second miscarriage, seems like a lifetime ago now but I have been reflecting a lot on it lately for some reason.

I'm doing ok, getting a little nervous tbh though. I have a biophysical ultrasound on Oct 17th to see if my complete placenta previa has moved enough for a natural birth. If it hasn't moved at all or enough I will be booked for a scheduled csection for Dec. 8th at exactly 36 weeks. Csections freak me out so bad... I'm seriously sick to my stomach at just the thought of it. I'm having horrible nightmares about it and lately it seems that every woman that has ever had a csection is coming out of the woodwork just to share their negative feedback on the subject and how awful their experiences were... I feel so down about it all really... Does anyone have any positive feedback? Or advice on how to calm down about it? Ugh I'm so embarrassed to be admitting my fears like this...

I had an emergency c section with dan and it was fine even after for me it was really fine yes you are sore for a couple of days but it eases each day if I ever get pregnant again I will opt for a planned c section so it couldn't be that bad as I wouldn't do it again it really is fine xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My gp and OB/GYN said that where the placenta is completely covering babies escape route I need to be sectioned to avoid ANY dilation whatsoever. If I do dilate or am given the opportunity to dilate by waiting beyond 36 weeks I am at risk for a severe hemorrhage and it could lead to a full on hysterectomy if it was bad enough or worse case scenario I could bleed out and both baby and I would lose our lives... This actually might be the reason I am so freaked out...

 

[amanda111308]

Thank you everyone who posted positive messages on sections though, it has definitely helped me calm down a lot!!

I think getting a plan in place would be most helpful. As of right now I have no chold care lined up for my son for when this baby is born. The thought of being away from him for 3-4 days (post csection hospital stay) makes me so sad especially since it will be Christmas time.

I know I will move past this much better once there is a solid plan in place and have someone reliable to help us with our son.

Again, thank you for the positivity, I really needed to see this today! *hugs*

Wow no wonder you are freaked out! Hearing the worst case scenarios at just 20 weeks can't be good for your blood pressure! Have you had any bleeds? The closer I got to my scan without a bleed the more confident I got it had moved (I'm an eternal optimist though!).

Glad you are now feeling more relaxed about a c section, I'm starting to wonder if I'll end up with one. Baby was breech at my last scan (28 weeks) and I'm sure I can feel the head sitting in my ribcage. It's not helping the heartburn anyway! My next scan is a week on Monday. Can't wait to see how big he / she is now.

Cycle day 12 today. I took Femara this month in hopes of "super ovulation" and I have my follicle scan tomorrow morning sometime. Fingers crossed that this is the month!! Feeling optimistic. Just hoping my husband is up for all of this!! And hoping no multiples!

 

[Bug222]

cd22- 9dpo and im out. Pink spotting which means Af will be here tonight or tomorrow. I hate my body.

Hi Ladies! Hope you all are well, been really busy the past week and that flu I had lasted for 8 days, was awful. I broke out in eczema (never had it before in my life) and then developed a gross fungal infection on my arms!! I have been covered in lotion for a week and they said it might take two to three weeks to clear up, yuck. They said with my immune system down from being sick I picked it up somewhere.

Anyway, Amanda, I had two c-sections and they were a piece of cake. My daughter was breach and my son was elective. Yes it's uncomfortable but you are so in love with your baby you don't dwell on it. Within 7 days you should feel much better. I know this whole thing must be scary but the doctors are aware of it and they are monitoring you, you will be in good hands.

Bug I am sorry you are out. You sure maybe it's not implantation?

Mrskitty you will have to tell me how temping goes. I am tempted to try it but I don't know, it might stress me out.

Anniebobs you look so fab in your profile picture, I love your bump!

Kelly, how are you doing?

I am cycle day 14, I should ovulate on tues. My cycles are so long lately. This will be month number 2 of trying again, hoping it doesn't take 6 months. It's been a solid year since we have been trying again, am getting impatient lol.

 

[Nataliek]

Oh I do have some exciting news, we bought our first family puppy! We named him Charlie and he comes home in 8 weeks, he's a European boxer. I'm going to upload pics.

 

[gebkel9]

So I went in for my follicle scan today. Looks like one big follicle. Thick endometrial lining and a positive opk!! Bad news is that my uterus looks messed up. Maybe a septum or scar tissue from previous D&Cs or bicornuate. I went from being so excited today to crying off and on for the past 12 hours. I'm torn between trying again, giving up totally, or proceeding with multiple tests and surgery possibly and and and... If I have a septum there's a high chance of miscarriage again...and I'm not interested in that. Yet I'm not sure I can skip out trying for a miracle this month. If there's something wrong with my uterus, then my daughter would be a huge miracle. If it's due to scar tissue then that's a whole different ball game. Now is not the best time to find out all of this when we should be doing the BD for the month. Ugh. Feeling crushed and confused!

 

[Anniebobs]

Thanks Natalie, I love my bump Congratulations on becoming a mummy to a fur baby! Dogs are the best and boxers are gorgeous. We almost got a boxer but decided to get a jack russell instead because we had a smaller house when we got our dog. Hyper dogs keep you sane, you just have to get outside no matter what the weather and whatever's going on you always feel better for doing it. Our dog is still referred to as our firstborn

Gebkel I'm sorry to hear there might be an issue with your uterus. I've no advice to give you, it's such a difficult situation to be in, but I'll be praying everything works out for you.

Thank you Natalie for your comforting words. I really do feel a lot better about it now. I knew I would get the right support from all of you ladies

Which is why I love this thread so much! No matter where we are in our journeys of trying to grow our families we always manage to bring comfort or cheer to one another!

Love you guys!

 

[Bug222]

congrats on your furbaby Natalie!

Sorry to hear you have had some disappointing news- I wish I had some advice for you- just sending you hugs xxx

Thursday is my first angel's due date.

mrs kitty are you on my facebook

I am yes. I have set my alarm to temp (what a pain!) and yes usually have had 3 hours sleep. I think my temperatures look kind of weird. I think going on past cycles I may get another positive opk tomorrow. Basically if I do not ovulate tomorrow I may miss out as I am away from Monday without dh. I had ewcm today, I think I may of ovulated today or about to tomorrow. If my temperatures drop tomorrow does that mean I have not ovulated?

I think you ovulated cd14 fantastic timing on bd hopefully this is your month keeping everything crossed
