PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Confuzion I'm so sorry. fx it is nothing to be concerned about. I had first tri bleeding at 10 weeks with my rainbow and it was a sch resolving itself which was terrifying. Are you still bleeding or has it stopped? I hope they get you in quickly for a scan either way.
 
Faint positive after one DD and 3 MCs. We had all the testing done - DH has 49% DNA sperm fragmentation, I have slightly elevated NK cells and a possible septum (although as last 2 losses were chromosomal this could only have been a contributory factor).

Fingers crossed 4th time lucky! (Weirdly I get pregnant first or second month every time!!!)

We took a 6 month break hoping fragmentation would improve (which it didn't) and while waiting for fragmentation results (which incidentally were done the day before conception) decided to risk it and try. And lo and behold - pls keep fingers crossed for me!
 
Congrats newly!

Confuzion I had spotting at 7 weeks this time around and also have been back in today with bright red spotting at 13+3. They can't find no reason so hopefully it's nothing for you too! X
 
Congrats sweetkat! Hope this is your rainbow.

Thanks sweet and youngmam. They were able to get me in for an ultrasound this morning and I was surprised and relieved to see a little wiggly baby with a heartbeat! It's a shock honestly with my history I really believed it was another loss and did a lot of mourning yesterday.
 
Congratulations Florida! Glad to read that little Zuri is doing well after her early arrival & hope you're fully recovered very soon.

Congratulations Newly! Beautiful girl :)

Sweet, hopefully the time won't be long going in!

Glad all was well, Confuzion & youngmam.

FX for you Sweetkat!
 
Confuzion that is great news! Did they find the cause of the bleed? Hopefully it was a one off and on your way to the next rainbow

Congrats sweetkat!
 
C!!!! Yay for good news!

SweetKat! Yay!!!!!! Hope this is it for you ❤
 
Just an update for anyone interested. 13 weeks and all is well so far.

Lovely pic tui!x
great news confuzion.x
congrats sweetkat.x
have a lovely xmas everyone.x
 
Thank you for your wishes everyone! Last time I made it to 10 weeks 2 days, and today am 4 weeks exactly, so have a long wait ahead :(

We were considering IVF with PGD but the Dr said that as I was getting pregnant easily we might as well try naturally rather than go through IVf as the live birth rate after same number of tries with MCs and IVF was higher naturally.

Fx for healthy babies in 2017 :)
 
Confuzion and YoungMam - glad everything is OK. I bled/spotted from 4 to 6 weeks with my rainbow and it was OK. They never did find the cause x

SweetKat - hope everything goes well this time x

Tui - lovely picture, congratulations!
 
I announced today on Facebook. I wasn't going to at all out of fear. I was going to keep it just to me and DH until people started guessing but we've decided mutually that we want this baby to be loved and celebrated and known about no matter what :cloud9: This was our announcement

Dairy- same here. She was #4 and they were floored as it typically is seen in first pregnancy. Plus I had severe not mild as they told me.

Blue- I'm going to possibly get something. I keep trying to beat the anxiety and it's but other people's stories set me off plus all the machines. I cause theyvdixtated my fate for so long. Were you able to come off of them?

confuzion- glad to see you saw bubs! I know it's hard days ahead emotionally with the history we all share. Praying your lo is in for the long haul.

Tui- congrats hon!!!

Sweetkat- I was on the other thread with you as well. Congrats on your bfp!!! Praying this is yours sticky bean.

Young mama- I'm glad you decided to share. It can be scary and we want to guard our hearts but I found sharing took some pressure from me.

Afm- body is still adjusting. Took a social media break starting yesterday. I joined a preeclampsia support group but at times it flashes me back to my own situation and that's hard to deal with. As well as health wise I'm still recovering and the ines who are like 1 week later I'm all better ischard because I already struggled for an entire month with the preeclampsia before Zuri arrived. Add to that she's in the nicu and doing well, but she is having occasional low heart rates and gadcto be put in vapotherm to help her breathe some and my little heart is struggling to cope. It hard because she was born just before the holidays so my therapist isn't available like normal and I have to see a cardiologist who can't see me until after the first of the year. I am trying to avoid going in meds but I'm having a struggle and I already take 2 meds to help my bp and pulse right now. I'm very grateful for our struggle as I've grown but it's hard after all we've been through to be experiencing this. I'm pretty much still on bedrest and am never alone.
 
Confuzion that is great news! Did they find the cause of the bleed? Hopefully it was a one off and on your way to the next rainbow

It wasn't a full diagnostic ultrasound so midwife said she's not looking for any source of bleeding or anything just wanted to confirm it was a viable pregnancy. They will probably refer me for a more thorough ultrasound with a different place. I haven't had any more bleeding so I'm feeling optimistic.

Lovely!

Already commented on your journal but just want to give more hugs Florida :hugs:
 
Congratulations on your announcement, youngmam x

Florida, sorry you are having such a tough time. I hope the social media break helps, I remember reading ages ago that going over traumatic events straight away can actually make PTSD worse (possibly because it consolidates it into memory). For me, I think that is true and have found quiet time helps, but I realise it's hard to come by (I had a friend who wanted me to talk about my miscarriages, it was a few in when I was finding it hard to talk about and actually found it pretty traumatic to go over it when it wasn't what I needed to heal). I hope you can get some quiet time to heal soon. Hope Zuri's breathing issues improve very soon. The feeling of not being able to breathe upon night wakings went away after a couple of weeks, it really helped when I understood why it was happening (because of the tube). The anxiety got better but didn't go completely, I think it was because I never got help for it. I worry about LO so much still, and I'm still not sleeping great and have a night waking every night x
 
Hi all. I got a Bfp yesterday-unexpectedly! My cycles have been all over the place with sore bbs most of the time so just ignored it! Have done an acutest which I've never used before and got strong lines. Going to double check with a cb digi later. If it's there should be 4+6. Feeling remarkably calm. Left a msg on the Rmc consultant phone but won't hear anything til tues at the earliest due to bank holiday. Picked up baby aspirin today. Fingers crossed.x
eta positive on digi-2-3 weeks
 
Confuzion praying all is well with you and the lo. Early days are worrisome but seeing your bub is a really good thingxx

Blue- it's helping. I checked in to one of my support groups and immediately got overwhelmed by others stories. I think talking about it too much wasn't good. Zuri is off any breathing assistance but he respirations are a little fast occasionally. She's only 35 weeks gestation and was small so she's doing well. I started waking up at 2:30 am again. I'm being weaned down off some of my meds but I am still battling anxiety. Have an appt Tuesday with therapist and it's much needed. How you're doing well blue. I know our journeys make this whole process harder.

Nessaw- congrats honxx
 
Florida - hope your appointment on Tuesday helps, glad you are finding things to help you. I'm so glad Zuri is doing well. You're right, the journey does make it harder, I never thought it would once I got my rainbow, but it does. Hope the night waking stops x

Nessaw - congratulations!
 
I got a BFP on the 30/12/16, and am quite honestly bricking it. I had an ectopic in 2012, and two back to back MMC in Oct 2015 and Feb 2016 resulting in DC's, the last of which was incredibly traumatic.

I need to phone my GP to book an early scan due to the previous ectopic, but I am absolutely terrified that there wont be a heartbeat again. This is my 5th pregnancy, and I've only had one successful one. I appear calm on the outside because I am trying to keep it together for my family, insideI am a nervous wreck :cry:
