congrats Reedsgirl - am so happy for you and have everything crossed for you and your babies

Kanga, am sorry you've had to find us here x x x

 

[heart tree]

Hi Kanga. I'm sorry you are here too. I find it helpful to talk to women who understand this particular kind of situation. We'll all get our babies!!!

 

[kanga]

Thanks girls. I sure hope we get them soon! I started bleeding today for the first time since erpc 11 days ago. Rubbish. Still, maybe it will trigger a cycle and an eggy!

 

[heart tree]

Kanga, I'm not sure 11 days is long enough to call this bleeding AF. I think you have to have 20 days of not bleeding before you can call it AF. This might be some left over tissue or your hormones regulating. I had bleeding and spotting on and off throughout my cycle after my second loss. My real AF didn't start until 7 weeks after my D&C. It took me 5 weeks to get AF after this current loss.

I read this on this website: https://www.pregnancyloss.info/first_period.htm

I don't want to dash your hopes, I just want you to be well informed. xoxo

Hi Ladies,
Sorry for all of you having to be here!

I used to come here after my 3rd mmc last year- didnt really want to come here again! But think i'm about to join you after my 4th mc. I'm 6w4d - been bleeding for the past week and my progesterone levels have taken a nose dive so I know its inevitable now. I was having HCG injections to try and prevent it happening but guess its not the right thing for me! xx

 

[heart tree]

Oh moonmama, I hate that we are meeting under these circumstances. I'm so, so, so sad to hear your news. I wish you didn't have to be here either. Please keep in touch and let us know what is happening. I'm hoping for the best for you.

Thank you! Will definately let you know whats happening! All my other losses were mmc but I'm guessing this is going to be a natural one as i'm bleeding but I really dont know what to expect! At the moment I dont have any pain or cramping so I'll probably have to wait a bit longer x

 

[heart tree]

I don't have much to offer in terms of advice. My first loss was due to a blood clot dislodging and it knocked the baby out of place. I did bleed and had cramping, but it was the clot. The second and third loss were caught during an ultrasound and I never bled with either of those. I had D&C's for all 3 of my losses. I'm so sorry this is happening to you again. We shouldn't have to deal with this once, never mind more than that.

May I ask why you were given HCG injections?

I'm sorry to hear what you've been through too! Will you be treated for the clotting when you get pregnant again?

All my RMC tests came back normal so my OB thought that HCG injections would help prevent another MC. There really is no evidence to back this up but he seemed convinced that he'd had good results in the past with this and after 3 mc if he'd told me to roll in eggs I probably would have done it!

 

[kanga]

Sending lots of love and your way moonmama, so sorry you are going through another mc

Is there anything you can do to get the foetus tested to see if there were any underlying causes? It's so awful going through this and not knowing why x

Thanks for the advice hearttree, guess I'll just have to kepe waiting and seeing whats going on with me. Its quite frustrating in this limbo but at least theres no real ttc pressure atm x

 

[heart tree]

All of my tests, including clotting disorders, came back normal. I'm getting an HSG on Monday. That will be the last test. If that is normal, then they have no answers for me. They are going to try progesterone suppositories the next time I get my BFP. I'm taking baby aspirin as a precaution as well, but it didn't help with the last pregnancy. Another friend on B&B just sent me a research paper that said HCG injections could help with women who have ovulation issues. I ovulate kind of late, between days 22 -28. I'm thinking about asking my doctor about the injections.

I know what you mean about rolling in eggs! I would do just about anything they told me to if it meant I'd have a healthy baby.

Why do we have to endure this?

Is that your child in your avatar? She is precious!

 

[heart tree]

Kanga, it is so frustrating to feel like you don't know your body. The limbo is the worst part! (Well, one of the worst parts anyway). Hang in there, you'll figure out what's going on soon enough.

Thanks Kanga they took foetal tissue from my last miscarriage and it came back as normal - just wish I knew what the problem was!

 

[kat731]

Sorry for your losses girls ....please keep us updated.

 

[Poisonwood]

I so understand I had 3 mmc and all test results back normal. It makes me so scared about next time. It is definitely hard the not knowing! x

Hi girls thought I'd finally post on here and stop lurking and stalking.
I have an 8 year old DD, last September I married my DH and we decided to start trying I got a BFP in early Jan and MC about 2 weeks later. I was devestated but Dr said these things happen, we started ttc again in April and low and behold a BFP in May, we thought we'd wait till our 12 wk ultrasound this time to tell anyone. As soon as the screen came up I knew it had happened again. Dr said baby measured 10 weeks so I had a D&C late Jul. So here I'am. I just wanted to say that reading your posts the last few weeks has really been the only thing that has kept me going, you are all so strong. ATM they think I have retained products but dont want to do another D&C so they are monitering my HCG levels (currrently at 28) sighhhhhhhh

 

[kanga]

hi skylar, welcome hunny

so sorry you are also having problems concieving. hcg of 28 is quite low me thinks so maybe you are almost there, are you still bleeding? Will they be testing your bean to see if any underlying reason for the mc. I know sometimes life is extra cruel and they dont always do this until its your third loss

afm, started still bleeding (second day now), hoping its AF and my lining will completely clear and after start building up again

Also some good news, I have been referred to the fertility specialist Hoping to get in before xmas, yay xx

 

[heart tree]

Hi Skylar. Wish you didn't have to be here babes. I agree with Kanga, 28 is quite low. I was at level 15 3 weeks after my D&C. They saw some blood in my uterus at that time and weren't sure if it was retained tissue or not. 2 weeks after that my levels dropped and I got AF. I hope you get AF soon. I hope they start offering some tests to see what might be the cause.

Kanga, so glad you will be seeing a FS! I hope you get some answers!

 

[moonmama]

Really sorry Skylar sucks to be here doesnt it? Hope you get some answers and some proper help too xx

 

[Skylar]

Thanks Kanga, Hearttree and Moonmama, yeah it sucks to be here but at leat we have each other.
I get another test Monday fx they've dropped again. Ive finally stopped bleeding after 4 weeks.
They did test my bean (basic tests) and said they found no reason sigh. They were pretty much of the opinion until you have 3 or 4 we dont do envasive testing.
Kanga thats great news on both counts.
Poisionwood I'm feeling ya sista.
