"Full Circle" TTC-BFP April 2013 Bump Buddies

[sunkiss]

oh no Krippy, i am so sorry sweetheart, i was so happy for ur rainbow, dammit i dont know why these things happen n i know we cant question it, seems so unfair for anyone to go through this, especially those who have been through a loss, is there any chance things can turn around? u are still so early, there may be a chance still here, i will pray there is, i know we cant understand right now hun but we can still pray and keep our faith n He will show us the answers, my heart goes out to u

I'm so sorry, Krippy. Will be thinking of you and hoping for the best.

I'm so sorry Krippy. I've been through two miscarriages. They were both missed miscarriages. The first one ended up happening naturally (about 5 hours before I was scheduled for a D&C) and the second I had a D&C. I'll be honest, my first was really bad. But it didn't happen until I was almost 12 weeks. I started hemorrhaging and ended up being rushed to the ER. With the D&C it was a short hospital visit, I was only in there for a couple of hours, and I was under general anesthesia for the procedure. It was a LOT less traumatic than the first.

Another thing I wanted to let you know is that I too have Hashimoto's. It wasn't diagnosed until after my second miscarriage. Untreated Hashimoto's has been linked to miscarriage. BUT- the good news is that once you start on medication and have your TSH under control, and if you start taking selenium every day, your chances of miscarriage DRAMATICALLY decrease. So that very likely could be what caused the miscarriage. It took me 9 months of being on medication to get everything on track and to get pregnant again, and now that I'm on medication and daily selenium I finally have a healthy little bean. It's been a really rough journey but the good thing is now you know about your thyroid disease and it is easily treated! Good luck, if you ever need to talk or have any questions please feel free to PM me!

wow MrsMcD123, that really shed so much light on things, see there are the answers, and u are the perfect example of light at the end of the tunnel

 

[Krippy]

Thanks Ladies...really appreciate your help and support. The miscarriage has started to happen...I could feel it starting with the back pain that I had at the beginning of labour with RJ. I am bleeding and cramping now and hoping that it is over before the morning.

[c1403]

Oh no Krippy and Bree, such sad news...I really feel for you both. So sorry that you are going through this.

This thread was our lucky BFP post and now there have been so many losses, my thoughts are with you all right now.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[shantehend]

Bree and Krippy sorry you ladies are going through this.

 

[sunkiss]

hey ladies,

i know things have been down with the losses, seems as though there are not many of us left, that saddens me so much, i really miss the other ladies, felt a bond with everyone, but i think we should still update and keep our little group open.

i have some great news to update about my last prenatal visit this past friday, things went really well, i really like my ob doc, she took her time with me and addressed all my concerns, i got to see rainbow again and my little baby was in there doing well, couldnt hear the hb on her machine but we could see the flicker on the monitor, that eased my mind and made me happy to know the hb was strong, i thought for some reason she was going to start measuring my cervix this visit but she said she cant do that until 2nd tri because there is nothing to measure at this point, she said starting 15 weeks she will be measuring and watching my cervix very closely, next visit is on 2/24 and she will take a look then to make sure everything looks ok, she said if i do have incompetent cervix we should be able to catch it early and i would get a cerclage that would give me a better chance to make it to term, i will not lie i am scared, especially of 2nd tri, but i have such a great feeling that things will work out this time, seems like things in my life are just falling into place without to much effort from me, like things are being set up for me before i even know the answer, all i can do is keep my faith and put it in God's hands. she set up an official dating scan for feb 17th and i also have to take that glucose test that day also ewwww lol, well looking forward to seeing my LO again, that is always fun but i never did the glucose test before so do not know wut that crap taste like, i hope i can get it down cause i get nausea with some things, nausea is getting stronger these days also, i never actually throw up but i do get that sick to my stomach feeling, and if i do not eat like every 2 hrs (sometimes more frequent) i will be sick also, cannot have an empty stomach, i try to keep healthy snacks around and munch to prevent that from happening...okay ladies off to finish watching the super bowl, GO GMEN YAY lol...hope all is well with everyone, good night ladies

always thinking and praying for the mommies of angels

 

[Krippy]

So happy to hear about your positive day Sunkiss! You deserve it all! Sending you lots of love...to you, your angel, and your rainbow.

 

[seaweed eater]

So glad to hear your visit went so well and LO is healthy, sunkiss.

 

[Krippy]

MrsMcD123...How long did it take for your levels to get back into range? Did it take 9 months or were you TTC for some of those months? My Dr. said at least 3 months from now but I would love to hear your experience. Thank you so much...I am so glad I have a successful role model to look up to in all of this!

 

[sunkiss]

i agree krippy, how ironic u both were diagnosed the same and she is able to share her story to give u better insight and hope for the future, u were meant to be in this thread

 

[MrsMcD123]

My levels got into range within 2 months, and at that point we started TTC again for the next 9 months. But after my levels got into a good range, they still bounced around all over the place until we found the right amount of medication to stay on and it finally stayed in a good range for a few months without changing too much.

Have you had your thyroid ultrasound done?

 

[Krippy]

Yes they did all the tests (ultrasounds, uptake test) in January and now the med trial to see where my dosage should be. I am on 50mcg and am getting bloodwork done every 4 weeks. I am glad to hear that it took you 2 months to get your levels in range...it gives me hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you so much! Knowing that we were able to conceive even when my thyroid was out of control gives me hope that we are fertile and it will not take much time again for a miracle to visit us.
