Sorry you're having pains mapha.

I'm not having many symptoms at all. Grr. But no symptoms of miscarriage either. 2 and a half weeks and I'll finally know if I've actually been growing something in there!

Hello
Happy birthday to her in advance.

I'm still well but having palvic pains always. Sometime I can't even walk well. My gyn said its normal but boy or boy, the pain is unberable

We have July and August birthdays around here, too! And I'm doing the EXACT same thing. Clean, clean, cleaning like Snow White.

Mapha - you should look online for your symptoms. I've been having some pelvic pain, and my midwife found that my abdomen was still separated, causing undue pressure further south. Totally fixable and totally easy! I've just started little exercises in the last few days to repair the damage and prevent, and I'm already feeling relief! The other thing I thought of was what my sister in-law had - something about her ligaments being too stretchy, so she had pelvic separation, making it EXTREMELY painful to walk. I don't think she could do anything about hers other than take it easy, but still! Better worth knowing if you can do something...

Confuzion - As always, you were my main reason for getting on here. So, so, so, so happy that sticky little bean is sticking!! And by the way, my symptoms (other than with the twins) were gone by 8 weeks. Looks like you might just have a breezy pregnancy!

 

[confuzion]

You're too sweet Krulci. I've actually been pretty yucky the last 2-3 days. Weird for it to show up so late. But I'm not complaining!

 

[confuzion]

Another MMC for me. So I'm leaving you girls again. I'm doing ok!

Ohh no , I'm so so sorry Confuzion, I really can not Imagine what you might be going through. My heart is truly bleeding for you. No one ever deserves this pain. I'm so sorry hun.

Will they do some test to see the cause of all these miscarriages?

 

[confuzion]

Thanks mapha. I know it's hard to imagine but I'm actually doing ok. It was what I expected. I never really allowed myself to get excited about this one so it wasn't such a blow.

And yes. We won't be TTC for a while. We have a bunch of tests to get done. The specialist has ordered a bunch of them and hopefully he can figure something out for us. If not, then we'll just have to start preparing ourselves for a child free life.

Oh my gosh... Confuzion. I am so, so, so sorry. How do you know it was MMC? Did you do a scan? I thought it wasn't for a while...? Unfortunately, I feel you on not getting excited so it's not as much of a blow. That being said, it's still a blow. No matter how much you doubt, you can't help but care and love a tiny bit. Gah... I'll say it again: I'm so so sorry. You're definitely in my thoughts. xxxx

 

[krulci]

And you're not doomed to a child-free life. Someone as kind as yourself doesn't deserve such a negative thought process. Whether a biological child works out or not, you can (and should) have a child. Someone out there deserves to be yours.

(Did you catch my stern, mom voice? No? Okay, try reading it again... Lol)

 

[mapha2]

I'm glad your doctor is ordering tests for you guy's. Hope they will come up with answers soon.
You in my thoughts dear, bless ya. Hugs

 

[confuzion]

Yeah I wasn't supposed to have a scan yet but had one today at the recurrent miscarriage specialists office. It showed a 1cm sac and no baby. I was supposed to be 7w6d by LMP. And 8w1d by conception. So yeah no doubts about it.

And thanks. I know adoption is an option down the road but after trying so hard for a biological child, I don't know if I will ever be ready to care for an adopted child. I know it sounds selfish to a lot of people but the urge to have my own is strong. And taking in a child would just remind me of my failure at this point. Maybe I'll change my mind one day but right now it doesn't feel like an option.

Confuzion, hugs.
I really really hope the tests you're having done find the problem. Are they going to check your clotting factor and all that stuff?

 

[mapha2]

Hello ladies, how's everyone doing? Hope you are all great. Hugs

 

[confuzion]

3minions - sorry I never responded. Things got a little busy here and I haven't been caught up on BnB.

I've had clotting tests done before and all came back normal. They're checking all the same things again (clotting, diabetes, thyroid) but now we're also doing a karyotyping test on me and my husband. It's kind of a scary test because if anything shows up on it (if either of us have what is called a balanced translocation) our chances of continuing to have miscarriages are high due to chromosomal abnormalities and also more likely to have a special needs child. Our only option would be to proceed with IVF with PGD. Which seems scary to me. And a little crazy considering I seem to get pregnant pretty easily but might still need IVF. Trying to prepare myself for the worst news but also hoping that those tests come back clear.

Hello ladies! Sorry I ducked out for a while... How are you all doing?

Confuzion - how are the tests going? I hope you get the answers you need to get your rainbow babe.

Rahma - you're so close! How are you feeling? Getting nervous to deliver? I'm so excited to see pictures of your little one!

AFM - our anatomy scan gave us quite the shock. Seems Baby A has changed genders!! All of those little boy parts disappeared! Everyone, the tech included, was floored. Good thing I left the tags on all the clothes we bought... Ugh.

How about the rest of you? Anyone have any updates? Hope you're all having a beautiful July.

 

[3Minions]

Lol Krulci! Back to the name drawing board?

We're having a few REALLY hot days (30c) and I'm cooking. I can't wait for it to get back down to 23ish. My other kids are born Jan-July so I've always managed to miss the hottest days of the year during pregnancy. This is the most uncomfortable I think I've ever been. Oh well, only 10-12 more weeks

 

[mapha2]

Hello, we doing good thank you. Aah, sorry girl, back to the drawing board indeed. A healthy baby it's all that matters. I'm glad you doing ok kkrulci

Hello 3minions, hang in there gal, it will soon be over. Heat is really not good in pregnancy, my last full term pregnancy was in summer and boy oh boy, I really did not enjoy it, the sweating and all. It's winter this time in South Africa and I'm loving it, no swelling for me this time. Hope it gets better for you
To everyone, hope you're doing great. Much love

 

[mapha2]

Hi ladies, hope you are doing great. Just thought I could share my bump pictures. Would really love to see how big you are getting as well. Stay blessed and healthy
