Here we go again

[animalcracker]

Hello ladies

I first joined this forum last year. I got pregnant with my first child last summer and suffered a MMC in September at 9 weeks.

Hubby and I have been trying to get pregnant again since then with no luck and made an appointment to see a fertility specialist 2 weeks ago. Hubby was first - had all of his tests done and I was waiting for my period to arrive as my tests were to be performed at certain times during my cycle.

My period never happened because I got pregnant! We are both excited and terrified at the same time of losing this child too.

For the record, I am 39 (turned 39 in March) and hubby is 41 (he will be 42 in September). It's still very early days yet, and as silly as it might sound I am trying my hardest to be blase about the whole thing until I get past the 1st trimester. This will be the first child for the both of us.

I had bloodwork done today and the fertility specialist will be looking after me until I reach the 10 week mark, then I go back to my gyn. I have an appointment with the specialist tomorrow to review my bloodwork.

The first time round I had a multitude of symptoms, but this isn't the case the 2nd time round. I have sore breasts but that's about it. I'm only 4 weeks and 2 days so perhaps it's just too early?

I think that if I didn't have the wall of strength that is my husband, I would lose my mind. We're both trying so desperately to prepare for the worst, but it's so hard when your mind-set is all about being a mother and if it will all work out this time.

I left the forum last year after my MC because I couldn't stand to be around anything baby-related. I wonder if some of my old TTC over 35 friends are still here? If so, where are you?!

Hi and Congratulations!!! I know exactly how you feel, I have a history of MC and try not to get excited when I´m pregnant, and then I worry it won´t stay coz it doesn´t feel wanted. daft I know. One MC does not increase your chances of having a second one by much, only a few % which is nothing! So just because it happened once does not mean you won´t go full term this time.
It is early for symptoms so make the most of it, next week you might be throwing up and eating pickles. Take care and good luck have a happy and healthy nine months!!

This is EXACTLY how I am feeling! I haven't had nearly as much heartache as many of the ladies on this board. I had a terrible time after my mc last year and on top of the devastation, my HCG levels stubbornly refused to go down so I was a nutjob!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot

I found it hard after my last MC but with time it gets easier, now I´m just obsessed with getting pregnant again, nine months and no BFP so far. I´m 38 and I feel pressured to get number one soon so we have a possibility of having two. You make me feel hopeful because I lost my last pregnancy in August and you yours in Sept, so it is possible. Don´t know why that should make any difference but I´ll take anything as a good sign right now.
I feel sad that after a mc one can never have a calm pregnancy really, I envy women who get pregnant and celebrate and tell everyone, I doubt I´ll ever feel that secure until I get past first tri. But you can come on here and we will celebrate!! Yahoo!! If you need someone to talk to I´m around. Hoping you got a really sticky bean there!

Congratulations on your pregnancy.


It's still pretty early for pregnancy signs. I wouldn't worry about not being sick just yet. In a few weeks, you might feel sick, or not. My friend has had 2 sets of twins and never felt any morning sickness with either pregnancy; and her babies went to 36 weeks.

And, each pregnancy is different, although you can't help but compare. Mine all had similarities, but major differences as well.

H&H 9 months!

I completely understand how you feel. I found out I miscarried as there was no heartbeat and had a D&C September 10th. It has taken absolutely ages to get pregnant again and in my case, my HCG levels were slightly elevated for quite a while after (even though I had a D&C).

I also envy women who haven't been through a loss and get to maintain the pregnancy 'high' throughout. It's going to be a constant worry for you when you get pregnant again - as it is for me now. I hate to admit it, but I am preparing for the worst.
