Well, I am back for round 4 in this exhausting and heartbreaking journey. I am 4w4d as of today, I got my BFP at 8DPO on Nov. 26. This is my fourth pregnancy, and fourth time reporting a BFP to this site over the past 2 years.
My most recent loss, July 2013, it was determined I have an incompetent cervix, and I will get an elective cerclage before my 1st trimester ends. I am currently taking 400mg of prometrium vaginally daily, trying very hard to not stress or over do anything, and anxiously awaiting bloodwork, 1st ultrasound and an appointment with my OB/GYN to get ready for the cerclage procedure. I am really hoping to get in touch with ladies who are in a similar boat as I am, or ladies who have had a successful cerclage placed, as I am TERRIFIED! So far, in these early weeks, I can't seem to attatch, much less acknowledge this pregnancy. My biggest fear, of course, is another 2nd trimester loss (my history: 1st at 21 weeks, 2nd at 6 weeks, 3rd at 17 weeks). I hope it is a normal defense mechanism, to be extremely removed from normal feelings that accompany pregnany?
This is going to be a long journey, I wish I could sleep through out the next 32 weeks.....here we go again. I am trying my best to remain cautiously optimistic.

this is my fifth pregnancy but my first two resulted in perfect births and then i had two in a row in june then september, ive fallen pregnant right away both times and im currently almost 11 weeks and have seen a heartbeat this time . Good luck x
I'm also on my 5th pregnancy. I lost my first baby, had my son but lost his twin, then I lost two more in a row. It's really hard to get attached to this pregnancy. I've passed all of my loss milestones but still feel like anything can happen. I also wish I could be put into a coma until it's time to have the baby.
sounds like you deserve some positive news! I know it's hard to stay away from internet stories...I am terrible about it myself. But stay positive! I have my FX that this is your forever baby.
