Mama Bears TTC a rainbow - join us :)-- (69 ladies so far)-(29 BFP's!)

[Renaendel]

So sorry Lesh. I really hope it happens for you soon.

I miscarried naturally. I went for my first scan at 8+1 and saw a baby measuring 6 weeks with no HB. Dr. sent for bloods and my HCG kept slowly rising to give some false hope. Dr. said I was probably just earlier than what I thought. But ofcourse I knew better. Anyways, I had a follow up scan scheduled for 9+3. However, I started bleeding at 9+1 and passed baby on 9+3. I never had the next scan and I didn't go for bloods like I was supposed to make sure my levels went down. I did HPT making sure the lines went away.

 

[confuzion]

Oh ok. Yeah then I'm lucky because after both my MMCs my body bounced back pretty quick.

First MMC I went in for an 8 week scan. Found a fetal pole (5-6 weeks, no measurements made) with no heartbeat. The next day I started miscarrying (apparently it took my brain seeing that ultrasound to start the process). CD 16, I ovulated, I believe 13 days later, I had my first period.

Second MMC, went in for a 10 week scan, found fetus measuring 9 weeks with no heartbeat. 11+6, I finally started bleeding. As I said before, CD17 I ovulated. 13 days later. I had my period.

So sad as it may be, my body may not be efficient at keeping a pregnancy, it sure seems to do a good job of getting rid of one

 

[Leinzlove]

Ahhh... NO! It's not that way at all. Just rotten terrible experiences. You will make your rainbow just fine.

 

[confuzion]

Hope so. It's hard to picture at the moment. Hope I'm at least pregnant by June. My second due date is creeping up .

 

[Leinzlove]

A baby in time for Christmas is what I'm predicting!

I can see that you can't fathom your rainbow. I could never fathom my rainbow even with already having DD 1. I still can't fathom #3... Its just a big miracle. But, Confuzion, I feel its going to happen for you... I'm telling you I've been on this journey before and everyone got their rainbow. Some took longer than others but within 14 months, we all held rainbows.

 

[confuzion]

I hope you're right leinz. Only time will tell. I'm trying to be patient.

 

[LeahLou]

Confuzion it's hard to picture a baby after so much loss. Everything seems so delicate and unpredictable till a baby is actually in your arms. Even though I have a daughter, it seems impossible for me to carry anymore pregnancies, which is depressing. We'll get there though. It usually comes when you least expect it.

 

[confuzion]

Yeah. It is hard. At least we've got ladies who understand what we're going through

Don't know if I ever would have stayed sane without you girls!

 

[jmandrews]

Thank you ladies that was very helpful. I just feel so confused and lost right now with where I am in my cycle. This is my first ever loss. My heart aches for all of you and it's hard to imagine going through it multiple times. Hoping you all get your rainbow babies soon and those holes in your heart are filled.

If I go off of when I started bleeding I am on cd 30 today. I usually have a regular 28 day cycle. The cycle before my BFP my cycle did get a little crazy and was 30 days. So I'm hoping AF comes soon so DH can start getting busy. I hate the unknown.

 

[confuzion]

Hopefully it's not a long wait JM and AF shows up soon.

 

[Leinzlove]

It might be AF hun. Its so hard to tell but its around the right CD. Every woman is different.

We all are getting our rainbows!

 

[Squig34]

Hope so. It's hard to picture at the moment. Hope I'm at least pregnant by June. My second due date is creeping up .

Confuzion. I have one at the end of this month too. It's over 2 years now since I had my first loss, my 3rd dute date is 27th April and I'm still not pregnant. So I know where you're coming from and it is very hard. I do hope you catch with a sticky before June

Lesh, sorry for a BFN. If next cycle is your usual length of time, I hope you catch it!

JM - sounds like the extra bleeding was still your M/C. I hope AF comes soon for you - after all of mine it was usually 4-5 weeks later that I got AF and I usually have regular 28/29 day cycles too.

 

[jmandrews]

Thank you I am pretty sure AF is on her way. I've been cramping since yesterday. I just hope she hurries up.

 

[Leinzlove]

Squig: I'm sorry hun! This month is the one. How is your mouth sore?

You deserve better squig. But I know your time is coming soon.

 

[confuzion]

I hope she hurries up for you too JM.

 

[krulci]

JM - I did something similar - nearly a week of no bleeding and it started again - and thought for sure it was AF but my OB confirmed that there must be a tiny bit of tissue still caught. All the same, AF showed up at CD 42! A longer wait than most, I guess, but my normal cycles range between 32-38 days so not too unexpected. FX that this cramping brings about good news!!

AFM - Peed on a wondfo HCG test and SWORE I saw something, so I dipped a FRER in the same urine... No definite BFP yet (OMG, I'm so scared to get my hopes up!!) but I swear just the slightest pink haze around where that second, glorious line should be! My symptoms seem to have gone away, so I'm taking that as a good sign since that's out of the norm for me, lately... Oh please oh please oh please!!

 

[confuzion]

Oh I hope so krulci!!! I need to another BFP to the BFP list! It has been too long!

EDIT: ADD another BFP!

 

[Button#]

Fingers crossed krulci. Really hope this is it for you.
