Pregnant with #1 After A loss

[Diddy2013]

I guess I am having a hard time figuring out exactly where I fit in.

For almost the last two years I've been trying for number one. After some very inconsistent cycles after birth control I went to my dr. They referred me to an OB who started me on clomid. Clomid regulated my cycles and by month five we were pregnant. I was thrilled.

I ended up getting Diagnosed with a missed miscarriage around 8w and the baby stopped growing at 6w5d. We had a inteasound at 6w4d with low fetal heart rate around 74. New Year's Eve this past year I took Cytotec for my mc, and had to take it twice.

I joined groups for trying to conceive after mc, and found places I for in. 10 months later I'm pregnant and I don't know where I fit in. I had four medicated cycles after my miscarriage and was preparing to start ivf in November and only taking vitamins. I'm scared but hopeful for this pregnancy to work out. I have people I relate to but they all have kids already.

Anyone out there going through something similar? (Sorry for the long post)

That makes me hopeful!

Hi Diddy, how far along are you?

I'm sorry you have had such a difficult journey. Our stories are very similar I have also been trying to conceive for over two years and finally got pregnant in July on clomid but had an early miscarriage. I was supposed to be starting IVF and had one last round of clomid first and now i am 5 weeks pregnant, and I don't know where i fit in either. The first tri boards scare me a bit and i can't really get excited after what happened last time. I understand where you are coming from x

Based on when I think I ovulated I am 6w3d. So we are pretty close! I will have an ultrasound next Tuesday and probably go based on their measurements.

That's how I feel about first trimester, most people seem giddy and excited. After what's happened I'm just nervous. Other boards where I've been for ten months with support I don't belong in now because they're about ttc after a loss.

aw thats great, you have less than a week to wait to see your little bean on the ultra sound, hopefully then you will be able to relax a bit more. I keep telling myself once you see that heartbeat the m/c rate decreases massively. My scan is on 4 th nov so i have just under 3 weeks to wait for mine.

Yeah I'm anxious to get the ultrasound. For my mc I found out at the ultrasounds things weren't going well, so I've never had a good ultrasound. It'd be nice to have good news!

That must've been awful for you, i cant even bear to imagine it. But you will have a good experience this time, i bet you are counting down the days.

I'm anxious to figure out if things are going well, surprisingly scared about the ultrasound! I probably just need to think positively. Having other symptoms is making me feel reassured.
