Starry

 

[Topanga053]

So sorry, Starry. I hope you start feeling better soon. The bad days are so crummy.

Ladies-- can I join in??? I'm in some other threads, but I'd like to join this one too. I had a D&C at the end of August and started my first cycle in October. BFN in October and my period started in this morning, so BFN in November too. Now we're trying again and will be testing in early January. Hopefully the new year really is a new leaf! So ready to be done with this year!!!

Starry- I'm sorry honey. I know how that feels to think you are just past the hardest part and then still need a D&C. That's what happened to me. If you need to talk/feel free to PM me. My heart breaks for you love.

 

[mackjess]

Meggie, FX and everything crossed for you! You have been so wonderful and supportive for everyone, I pray it's your turn now!

Starry, I'm so sorry. I was so thankful I was early and didn't need a D&C. This is so unfair for all of us and it's terrible that it's being prolonged. I'm glad you feel reassured that you have been thru this and made it thru to the other side, and that you will again.


Hi Topanga! I'm in the other thread as you too.

 

[meggiemay93]

Starry I'm praying for you!

Topanga Welcome and sorry for your loss! I'll be praying you get a BFP in January!

Mackjess Thank you!

 

[MamaTex]

Good day or evening to you gals!! This post is going to be long so I will divide it into two parts!!

Sweetz33: Are you moving into an apartment or a house? We are looking to move around March or April of next year. I want to go into a house. We are in a small rent house now but it is very old. It is pre-1960s old lol.

garfie: Hey Hey!! Hope you are doing ok. Thanks for liking my group. Creating it has really spurred me to read more about miscarriage. It can be depressing, but I want to know more so I can have frank, informed discussions with health care providers in the future. I also need to post content to the page!

nevergiving up: So glad you passed your tests with a good bill of health. Who wants to sit in a doctor's office way longer than one needs to? Yay for baby's strong heart beat.

Good luck in getting the apartment or rental house you want! Keeping you in my thoughts.

bamagurl: Can't wait to hear the outcome of your gender scan!!

Storkd: Good luck on your weight loss journey!! It is nice to have a gym right where you live. When I lived in north Houston, I was going to Fitness Connection for a time. Now I just walk and ride my bike, for free lol

Starry Night: It is ok to vent. We are here to listen and give you support. I am sorry that things are being prolonged for you. That sucks that a D&C may be on the horizon. I Know how much you want this and I want it for you too. I want all us ladies to be happy!

Topanga: Welcome. I have seen you around these parts. Glad to have you in the thread FX that January is your month!!!

runnergrl: Hey!!

mackjess: How have you been feeling/? Any new symptoms?

meggiemay93: Hope that discomfort in your side is implantation!!

AFm:

Sorry for being MIA. Yesterday I had a sad day and didn't go to a charity event or an art show I planned on going to afterwards. I am kind of glad I stayed home because I wouldn''t have been able to force a smile. I just needed some down time. Towards the end of the day, I bought a Christmas ornament for my lost little one. I posted it in the Miscarriage Support forum, but I wanted to share it with you all.



For anyone that knows me, they know I love the Beatles. I named my lost baby Jude after the song Hey Jude. Anyway, I was in Walgreens to buy a pregnancy test to use on 12/5 or after (if I can stand to wait that long!!) and to also look for some ornaments. I saw the one below!! I started to put it back but it spoke to me. I like to say it was my baby telling me that this is what he wanted, like any little kid wanting a toy in the store hehe. I looked around to see if there were any others and no, it was the only one at the shelf so I bought it!!

In other non baby making news, I am going to start volunteering this upcoming Tuesday. I will be a Computer Literary Volunteer at Memorial Assistance Ministries. I would be responsible for helping people set up their email, do Internet searches, create resumes, and do a whole host of other things they need help with. The computer lab is meant to teach people the computer skills needed to get a job. It will only be one day a week at first and then I can sign up for more days.

In baby making news, we haven't BD'ed in the last few days. I am on CD26 and will test this week. I am not sure my cycles have returned to normal, but that is when I will test. I have been really tired this week and the CM has started to become more watery. It is not like it was before arrival of AF prior to pregnancy/miscarriage so I don't know if I should take it as a sign or not. We shall see. I haven't had any noticeable pains on one side. I am thinking AF will be due pretty soon here so that is why the desire to test isn't so strong. I don't want to get my hopes up. I bought more folic acid and a gummy B complex vitamin to go along with my prenatal vitamins. I am going to go online and look at ordering a BBT. I keep saying I will but procrastinate!!

Starting Monday I am going to call the OB I have to see about getting some basic tests done. If he says no, I am going to call around. I want to get some stuff out of the way before the insurance runs out in December.

 

[Starry Night]

Thanks everyone. Everyone here is so nice.

Had a huge scare this morning and ended up having to call 911. I got this HUGE gush of blood and then it wouldn't stop. So scary. After 40ish minutes it started to slow on it's own and eventually stopped. My hemoglobins came back normal, my vitals were fine and hcg is down to 15 so the doctor on call said she wouldn't schedule an emergency D&C as it's better for things to pass naturally.

Scared it will happen again but I am feeling a bit better now.

Mamma Tex - what lovely idea to buy an ornament! And the volunteer position sounds like a great opportunity.

Topanago - good luck with your upcoming cycle!

 

[meggiemay93]

Starry I'm so glad the bleeding stopped. I'll be praying that doesn't happen again! Maybe that will be the last of it. You can always hope!

MamaTex I'm praying you get a BFP this month! I'll also be praying that the dr will say yes to tests! I'm glad the volunteering is going to work out!

AFM The pinching feeling is gone. My bb's have been slightly sore off and on all day, but I could be imagining it cause it's barely noticeable when I think I can feel it.

I am glad the D&C is not a certainty. Hope the physical stuff is on its way to being over for you soon.

I forgot to post about Molly Bears and Robby Rabbits!!! I was on BabyCenter when these two websites were mentioned. They send stuffed animals to families who have experienced a loss!! I love the idea.

That happened to me...11 days after I had my d&c I went back to work... that day I was suffering terrible cramps and was bleeding a lot heavier than I had been... the cramps where unbearable and I then started to pass massive clots. I lone work so I was terrified but couldn't do anything (tmi warning) I had for about an hour what seemed to me like early labour pains, I went to the toilet and passed a clot so big I had to push it out .... I was beside myself.... anyway the good news is that after that the bleeding calmed down and by the next day had stopped. I did phone nhs direct, they told me to go to A&E but I was SO done with hospitals and being pushed and poked around I decided to wait it out a bit....

I feel for you my darling sending big big hugs

 

[Starry Night]

I also had passed some MASSIVE clots with this m/c (I had a natural m/c) but as big as they were they never all came out at once. Some would come and then I'd get a "rest" for an hour or so.

This time was just a steady stream and that's what scared me. I've never had that before. Passed a few more stringy clots this evening but only when I wiped. Almost no blood in the toilet so I'm hoping this is coming to the end.

 

[garfie]

Starry Night - Aw hun it's not enough to loose a baby is it? - we then have to go through all this crap - hope it is coming to an end for you. In the meantime sending you BIG

Starry Big ! I'm praying for you dear!

Hi everyone else!

AFM Today i'm feeling pressure on my lower stomach, which is usually an AF sign for me. She's supposed to come anywhere between Wednesday and Sunday so that's probably what it is.

 

[mackjess]

OK ladies, now I'm scared. My labs came back and my HCG is great (49,500) but my progesterone was 19 a few days before I missed AF when I got it tested last, and now it's dropped to 11.5 so I'm starting progesterone today and getting it rechecked Wednesday. Not sure exactly what that means, the nurse said sometimes it changes so they do supplements. God I'm so scared.

 

[meggiemay93]

Mackjess I have no experience with that, but just know that I'm praying for you and your little bean!!

So sorry that it was that scary (isn't it AWFUL how much blood there is!?!?), but I'm glad that that might mean that you don't need a D&C after all. I will keep my fingers crossed that this is the end of it for you!!!

 

[mackjess]

Starry - Hope you are doing better today. I have heard about the "gushing", and cannot imaging going thru that. Good news that your hemoglobins are good and you may not have to get a D&C.

MamaTex- Finally got to look at the bears and the rabbits now that I am calmed down a bit about my test results. I LOVE THAT, very cool way to help people through this. Hope you are in TWW soon.

Meggie- I TOTALLY thought I was out this month because I had no symptoms, just PMS. Turns out all that PMS was my symptoms.

FX for all the ladies getting ready to test or in the TWW!

AFM - The instructions on my script made me feel better. It says to take them until I complete 12 weeks gestation (lol, sounds like animal planet, gestation) and there are 2 refills. I was expecting like 20 pills or something while they ran the tests, but the refills made me feel better. Like this is a frequent occurrence and the script usually works.

 

[nevergivingup]

Hi ladies, i hope everyones day is going well.

MamaTex: You are a sweetheart, im sorry you didnt make it to the event, but i do hope you feel better today. That ornament is precious and i know exactly what you mean when you said the toy was calling you buy it. Im sure that ornament will outshine all the others bc it has so much meaning. And that volunteer work that you will be doing sounds like a great idea to keep you a bit busy. And hey although youre not trying to get your hopes up on the BFP but when you least expect is how it usually shows up, so my Fingers are staying crossed for ya

Starrynight: sorry youre going through this, but its a great thing that you dont have to have a D&C. im sure its almost over. Hold on in there.

MackJess: Dont stress to much ma'am, ive bben there too. My Hcg levels werent as high as yours but they were progressing like they should and my progesterone was 34, which the doc said was good, but they still placed me on Progesterone suppositories, where i have to enter it in like a tampon vaginally every night for the first trimester, it helps the baby while the placenta is being built. Dont worry too much im sure everything will be fine....the hcg numbers are beautiful.

Hi to everyone else, Stork when are you beginning your diet?

Sweetz where are you.

Garfie: Im always thinking ab ya

Bamagurl: Its almost here the big day the gender scan, we're sooo excited

HisGrace: where have you dissappeared to?

AFM: Well today has been an alright, tommorrow is a big day, I will be 27 weeks tommorrow and will be in 3 trimester
