Pregnant after recurrent losses

[minimoocow]

Hi all

Just found out I'm pregnant after 3 early losses, no live births.

Anyone else in a similar boat?

I've only known 24 hours and I akreadt feel really anxious about having another miscarriage and about getting sick in this pregnancy as work is really busy (and I love it!). And stress is making me feel crap anyway. Couldn't sleep last night!

We've been trying for 5 years. I don't get pregnant easily and don't seem to hold onto them when I do. Tests all came back clear so officially unexplained.

We had decided to give it till Christmas and then make other plans. To be honest I think I had started to make peace with that and now this! I feel so confused! I don't know how to feel.

Sorry for your losses.
I just had an early miscarriage in july, and found out that I am pregnant again today at 10dpo.
I am so terrified that it will happen again that I can not be excited yet.

We have been trying for 5 years as well, maybe we can be buddys.

I am praying for us to both have sticky babies this time around.

I am trying to get my doctor to order me beta hcg tests so I can get a little relief, and know if this pregnancy is viable, but I haven't heard from the office yet.

Hi ladies! Also just found out I'm pregnant. I'm seriously so shocked I even got a positive this early, af isn't due for 6 days. I've been trying for 2 years and have had 3 losses along the way. It's hard to believe good will come, but I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful!

Hello both!

Sorry to hear of your losses too.

I called the hospital to book in pregnancy support and they won't see me until 6 weeks. My losses have all been before then other than my mmc which was later but only developed to 5.5 weeks. So if I make it to the scan I probably won't need it!

It's good being in the system though as I can call if I am worried.

I'm also having acupuncture and Chinese herbs to avoid miscarriage which makes me feel I'm doing all I can.

How are you feeling? Any symptoms yet? I felt rough on Monday/Tuesday which I did with my MCs but today feel fine. It could just have been anxiety. Acupuncturist says it's good that it feels different . . . I'm not sure! So far my boobs feel huge and tingly and I can smell EVERYTHING! Other than that just twinges in my tummy.

Fingers crossed for a h&h 9 months to us all

I'm still waiting for my doctors to call me about the blood test.
I got a little glimmer of hope today when my test this morning was slightly darker than yesterday's. My tests never darkened with my early loss. But I'm still trying not to get my hopes up.

I am 11dpo today and I do not have much symptoms. A little crampy, slightly sore breast, and a little tired.

What Chinese herbs are you taking?

Tcinks sorry for you losses.

I am only 8dpo, but DH and I decided the next time I got pregnant, we would not be so worried about having another loss that we aren't able to enjoy it. So just trying to take it day by day and be happy that I am pregnant NOW. Pregnancy after a loss is just so hard, isn't it?

I won't call my doctor until next week, but I'm hoping they'll get me in for an early scan. Mearly, when will you call/have your first appointment?

Oh. As far as symptoms...sore/tingly breasts, pelvic twinges and fatigue. I'm thinking maybe I ovulated early this cycle, because I don't usually feel these symptoms until a bit later. I guess we'll find out at my first appointment!

I won't call my doctor until next week, but I'm hoping they'll get me in for an early scan. Mearly, when will you call/have your first appointment?

I figure when they call me to tell me whether or not they approved the beta hcg labs I will make the appointment then, most likely it will be a scan at 8 weeks, if they will give me a six week scan I will take it!
I have only known I am pregnant for 48hours, but it feels like forever! I just want to skip to having a healthy baby! Lol

 

[tcinks]

Haha I totally get that! I've only know for sure since this morning and it already feels like forever. I need to find things to do to help me pass the time!

I feel ya... I've had 2 losses over the past 2 years and no healthy pregnancies yet. This is actually the farthest along I have been so far. My doctor has me on progesterone and baby aspirin plus heparin (because I am at risk of developing pulmonary embolisms while pregnant due to the increase in estrogen). I keep going through moments of excitement and positivity to moments of sheer dread every time I feel a twinge or minor cramp.

There is a pregnant after recurrent loss thread just so you ladies know. I have had 6 recurrent miscarriages, all unexplained, all sorts of testing done, and now I've made it to 22 weeks tomorrow. I have not gone without worry or anxiety at all. But it if possible.

I just wanted to say good luck to the ladies here. Its not easy being pregnant after a loss or losses. I had my rainbow after 4 years ttc and 2 losses. And he is worth all the pain I went through to get him and your rainbows will be too. Just take each day as it comes.

 

[minimoocow]

Floridamomma - thanks for pointing that out I hadn't seen it! Did you get to a point when you felt a bit more relaxed?

Flou thanks for your kind words. That's what I am trying to do but it's so hard not to think ahead! Even last time we made a conscious decision to enjoy the pregnancy but it ended in mc again so this time I'm kinda in denial!

Hi ladies! Mind if I come in? This is my first attempt at #4 so not technically PARL, as such, as my last pregnancy was a successful one.

Brief history: I had 3mc (one molar+chemo) then my 1st baby, 2 more MC then my second baby, 4 more MC (almost all back to back- crazy year) then my third baby. I've had a variety of early, natural and MMC. I was LTTTC my first and all my rainbows are clomid babies. X

Hey ladies! Congrats to everyone that has made it this far. I just got my faint bfp this am at 8dpo. It's crazy to say but I have felt like I was going to get pg before ov. My daughter for weeks has been saying her baby sister is coming soon. I hope she is right!
A little background on me:
2003 ds born
2011 two early losses
2013 dd born
Ttc # 3 since end of 2013
2014-2016 6 losses (2 MMC ending around 12 weeks), 4 early losses. No answers as to why the losses are occurring.
Needless to say I'm terrified of another loss, I just want my take home baby.

Hi ladies! So happy to see so many BFPs!

How is everyone's weekend going? I forgot for a moment today that I was pregnant. Then when I remembered I got really excited. First trimester just needs to hurry up and be over.

Hello dan-o and ready! Hope these are your sticky beans

Tcinks - I am trying to ignore it for now. Sometimes feel a bit crap but think it's mainly anxiety which then makes me worried I'm getting morning sickness which terrified me as I have a fear of vomiting! Other times I feel fine and genuinely think I'm heading for a miscarriage again. Finding dealing with hormones really tough. Been out today with z kids club I run and it's been great to take my mind off things. I'm not excited at all - still petrified!

 

[dan-o]

I'm stupidly excited! ..And also a bit short tempered

Not told anyone at all yet, will tell hubby soon tho, I just didn't want to bother him with a chemical or early loss as he gets freaked out by it!

I would love to be blissfully unaware of pregnancy. With ds we weren't ttc and af had been inconsistent for months as I went off the pill so when I just had slight bleeding at what would have been 4 wks and then scant blood at 8 wks I figured af was still sorting itself out. From 10-12 weeks I kept complaining to my sister that I felt crappy so around 12 weeks I took a test and bam...pg. I had a scan a couple of weeks after for dating purposes and I was 14 weeks. First tri done in a blink and totally clueless!! I wish I could do that again lol.

I am the same. I usually wait until af is due or a day late and then I tell him. Until then I feel like I'm totally alone!
