Hello everyone, i joined your group some months back. I took a break from posting and trying to hard as my dr told me lol. Well in that break, we got pregnant, and then only 1 week later lost the pregnancy.
Now I am back again ready to actually try. I charted last month but didn't expect much. Today i am on CD1 and hoping for a good month.

I guess i dont have a problem getting pregnant, my problem is staying pregnant but my dr doesn't really know why. All my blood work came back great she says. So im just hoping for the best.

good luck to all of you

Hello ladies, sad to say, our TTC journey is over. It's taken a huge toll personally and on our marriage and we may not last. Time to focus on school. Wishing yall the best and many babies!

 

[Kuawen]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Tennessee. I pray your next BFP is super sticky

I'm so very sorry, LeahLou my thoughts and prayers are with you right now!

 

[Bug222]

sorry for your loss Tennesse

*hugs* LeahLou xx

 

[confuzion]

Kuawen - your chart looked so good last month! I hate how deceiving they can be . Hopefully this new cycle.

Tennesee - I am very sorry for your loss hon. I hope you will be successful with a healthy pregnancy soon .

Leah - breaks my heart to hear this. Wishing you and your husband healing and strength to get you through the tough times. A break is what we need sometimes even if we don't want it. I've learned that with the forced TTC I've been put on by my doctor. I didn't want it but it really has done wonders for me emotionally and for our relationship. Big hugs .

It's infant and pregnancy loss awareness day. I'll be thinking of all of you ladies. We have been through the ringer and we certainly deserve some recognition for our struggles . Much love

I am also back after taking several weeks off with our BFP and the beginning of the school year with my sweet little first graders. We went for our first ultra sound today, and there was no heart beat and physical deformities. They are doing a D and C on Friday because my body is not acting like it is going to pass this baby any time soon. I am taking an insert tomorrow night to soften my cervix, and they are going to do genetic testing to see if they can find a reason. We are going to take and ordered (but needed) break for now. We also have no problem conceiving (it seems), but keeping that sticky healthy bean is a problem. I truly hope we get some answers and learn if we can have a biological child or need to move on to adoption. We were feeling so confident this time, but it came crashing down today. I have taken the rest of the week off, and I hope I am ready to face my little firsties again on Monday. Anybody have any tips on dealing with the aftermath of the D and C? This is my first.

 

[confuzion]

hmm - First of all, I am incredibly sorry to hear about your loss. I just had my fourth loss but first ever D&C this past July and it really wasn't too bad. Recovery for me was easier and faster than natural miscarriage. I was so against it for so long but had to give in because my pregnancy also wasn't going on its own (and it's lucky I did because testing showed it was a partial molar).

Anyway, I would recommend just taking it easy in general the first few days even if you're feeling pretty normal. I also had to keep my prescribed ibuprofen with me at all times as the anasthesia seemed to give me some pretty terrible headaches in the days following. My hcg plummeted pretty quickly after the procedure, and my period returned 30 days later exactly.

I hope testing gives you some answers .

 

[Kuawen]

I'm so sorry for your loss hmmorhma I don't really have much to add to what C said about the D&C; her experience sounds a lot like mine and that's the best advice I would give too. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this.

 

[Bug222]

so very sorry for your loss hmmorhma xxx

my "wave of light" candle is burning brightly tonight in memory of all of our angels xxx

 

[hmmohrma]

Thanks for the tips ladies. My DH is very worried about this, and I hate to see him worry about me on top of mourning another loss. Has anyone gone through the genetic testing?

 

[confuzion]

I burned some candles myself today bug .

Hmm- It's really a simple procedure. You won't remember it. You will hardly feel any pain after (I had cramps for about 2 minutes when I woke up but that was it). It's really nothing for him to worry about (or you). Though I understand the fear because I was also afraid .

I had the genetic testing done. On 2 of my miscarriages and also on me and my husband. Do you have any questions about it?

 

[hmmohrma]

They are only testing the baby right now. The doctor said she wants to run more tests on me after all the pregnancy hormones are out of my body. She didn't say anything about genetic testing for me or my husband. We are curious about my husband's history because we no nothing about his father or his father's side of the family. I don't want to know every detail about what might ever go wrong with us, but we are really hoping for some answers in relation to if it is possible for us to create and carry a healthy baby. What sort of information do they get from the genetic testing?

Hey ladies so sorry for any recent losses! I haven't kept up with this thread but it popped up on my feed today and I wanted to provide a glimmer of hope... I'm pregnant! And after 2 losses, everything has been great so far. Stay hopeful and positive and I know we will all get the babies we dream of

What kind of testing did they run? Also, I am having a near of a time getting a code to get a price for the gentic testing. Anyone mind telling me about the cost? I have insurance, but I don't know if its covered without the code.

 

[Kuawen]

Congratulations BSelck!

 

[Squig34]

Sorry for your losses, Hmmohrma & Tennessee I can't give you any details on genetic testing, Hmm - partly cos I'm in the UK so it's not the same re cost etc, but also because I've never had a D&C so so not managed to catch the tissue for testing, apparently.

Sorry AF came, Kuawen

Leah - so sorry also to hear that things have come to such a pass. As Confuzion said, I hope you and your DH can find the strength to work your way through this time and keep your marriage together.

Congratulations, BSElck

 

[madtowngirl]

Oohhhh hmmohrma, I'm so sorry. I just had a D&C in August, and it was my first one. I was terrified, too. But I woke up from the procedure feeling fine, and I slept most of the day after the procedure. Honestly, I was emotionally fine for a while after. I bled for about a week and a half after the procedure, but it was mostly painless. My emotions didn't really hit me until about a week after I stopped bleeding.

Wishing you a speedy healing process.

AFM, I'm on CD 9, waiting to O. Doing my second IUI this cycle.

 

[GingerPanda]

I don't want to scare you, but I was in quite a bit of pain the whole way home from the hospital after my D&C. Probably because the meds they gave me to make my uterus shrink back made me cramp SO BAD. Luckily I went to sleep as soon as I got home and slept for hours. Felt a bit better when I woke up. They didn't give me any pain medication to take home or anything. So it sucked. Maybe your doctor will give you a prescription for pain? A lot of doctors do. I would ask.

I'm sorry for your loss.
