Hey girls. How are you all? Where are you with your TTC journey?

Thought I would update my details as they seemed a bit impersonal compared to everyone elses!
My name is lisa (hubby mark) I am 29 and have 2 daughters and my little angel harry.
I lost my son Harry in nov at 23 weeks. He got the cord around his neck. I am now on my 3rd cycle since losing him, and all problems such as infections seem to have gone, so we are now ntnp. Have just invested in a clearblue fertility monitor to help give us an idea when I will ovulate as my cycles are efferent lengths at the moment. Hoping to get a bfp this month so I have a bit if good news on harrys due date (9march) hugs to everyone trying to conceive again after the loss of our precious angels xxx

Where you lot up too?

Sorry for your losses. I had a mmc diagnosed at my dating scan on 30th December. I was just short of 13 weeks. Bubs had stopped developing at 6-7 weeks. I had a follow up scan a week later and then ERPC on 8th jan!

It was my first pregnancy. This is my first full day with absolutely no spotting. Me and hubby are taking the relaxed method as we did last time and hopefully we'll get caught as quick as the first time (but with a healthy sticky bean this time)

good luck to all with your ttc journeys!! Let's be having some BFP's asap!!!!

So glad this forum has now opened! Xx

 

[sparkle83]

I've been ttc since I was 16 and DH was 19, now 10 years on. We've had 3 losses at 5, 8 (both from clomid) and 7 weeks (a natural accident), which the doctors say is down to my pcos. last loss was '06, and I dont think I've ovulated since

 

[danielle1987]

so glad this forum has began.. i lost my bean the 12th march 09 and still waiting for that much wanted bfp.. had all tests and cant find a reason why its not happened again... dont think i deserve a baby of my very own...Been trying 2years and given up hope..

 

[banana1975]

Hi Ladies!

I am so happy that this forum was created. I have experienced two losses, at very extreme ends of the spectrum. Ten years ago, I had a missed m/c at 15 weeks, but they knew the baby had stopped developing at about 9-10 weeks. I was scared that I would never have a baby of my own, but I gave it another try...luckily....

In 2002 I gave birth to a 9 pound 10oz big and beautiful baby girl, who is now 7 and a half years old...I had a perfect pregnancy (mind you I was terrified the whole time!)


In 2008 we tempted fate again, and this time we weren't so lucky. I lost my full-term son at 7 weeks old to a birth defect called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. This was the most devastating loss any parents could ever imagine, and I miss my baby boy every minute of every day.

We are now ready to try again for our third child. Our baby girl misses her brother so much and I want to give her another "living" brother or sister so desperately.

Now, here's where it get's even more interesting...AF is due either today or tomorrow, and I did a dollar store cheapy test and saw a faint line! I am so scared to believe that it could actually be true...I am not going to believe it just yet...

IF I am pregnant, I will be scared not only of miscarriage, but of any and all of the birth defects and things that can go wrong with babies. There is no innocence in pregnancy for us...so I will keep you ladies posted if I really do have a BFP! I just won't believe it until there is a healthy baby in my arms....

Never give up hope on having a baby in your arms...

Stacey

 

[SmileyShazza]

For those of you who don't know me I'll introduce myself and tell you our story.

I'm Shazza, 35 from Buckinghamshire in the UK. I'm married and came off bcp at the end of April 2009. Got a bfp at the end of September, 6 days before our 1st wedding anniversary and both of us were very happy.

Unfortunately we found out at our 12 week scan that our little one had stopped growing at around 6wks, it was a complete shock as I hadn't had any problems with the pregnancy. That was towards the end of November and we are now in our first cycle and I am currently in the 2ww.

Trying not to get too stressed or excited or anything really over the next 10 days am just trying to take things as they come.

Sorry to all the ladies who have experienced losses. Hopefully we will all have some good news to report soon

 

[sunshinegirl]

Hi all, I am so glad this forum has started somewhere I can go and chat about this to others who know what I am going through.

I am 37 my Hubby is 30. We decided to try for our 1st baby last August on hubby 30th Birthday. I was lucky enough to fall preg on 2nd month. On Friday 13th I sadly started to MC 9wks +1 day. I had ERPC on 18th even though at this point nearly everything had come out naturally. Sorry TMI. But decided I still wanted it to make sure all was clean as not to cause any problems in the future.

I had my first Af on the 18th Dec after erpc. We then started trying again but sadly was not to be in the first month like last time as I got AF 17th Jan. So here is hoping that I catch on the 2nd month again.

I can test again on the 16th Feb. This will be 4 days before my wedding Anniversary. I really hope I do catch as my mum has cancer and has maybe only a year to live depending on treatment so fingers crossed and good luck to you all

xx

 

[wantababybump]

So glad to see this forum!

I am 22 and hubby is 25. We got married September 1st 2007 when I was 20 and got pregnant a couple months later. I miscarried on christmas day at around 10wks but they believe the fetus died around 5ish weeks. We decided to keep trying and got pregnant again the first month I started temping and using ov tests in March 2008 but sadly lost our baby at 14 wks exactly. I had a d&c a couple days later. We found out it was a girl through CVS performed after she had already passed and we named her Ava Lynn. It has now been a year and 7 months since my miscarriage and only 14 cycles as I had been having 74 and 72 day cycles. My fertility specialist finally put me on clomid and my cycles have gone down to 28 days (last 2 cycles). We want so much to have a baby and every month that af comes it gets harder and harder. Good luck to everyone!! xx

 

[maratobe]

hi girls!
im soo sorry for your losses!!
my name is tamara im 20 slmost 21 and my OH and i have been trying for a bub since august 2008 since we lost our first bub at 10 weeks the day after my 19th birthday....it took us 15 months after that to conceive again and we also lost bub again at 7 weeks. i just got my first AF again after lossing bub, i was also dignosed with a cyst on my right ovary last month and it had ruptured, so since getting AF this month im guessing it has gone.
we are also getting married in about 12 months and we are hoping for our bub before getting married!!
looking forward to getting to know everyone on this journey of ours towards beautiful BFPs and babies!!!

 

[wish2bmama]

Hi all. I am so sorry for your losses. DH and I had been ttc 8 months when we found out I had blocked tubes, so I has a surgery to unblock them then put on clomid and got our first bfp in June 09. It wasn't until my scan at 9 weeks did we find out that the baby died at around 6 weeks. I had my DnC 7 days later in August.

I have since found out that my tubes are too damaged to unblock them again and I have PCOS. So I am on the IVF list!! But I am always hoping for a miracle before we need it. I wish the best of luck to all of us!

[Megg33k]

First, I'm so sorry for all of your losses. I've been through the whole thread!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Megg... I'm 28, will be 29 in a month... and my OH is 29. This is the 1st for both of us. We started trying in early 2007 and then had some medical stuff come up... OH nearly died of an issue resulting from a heart defect (all fixed now, thank goodness) and I started bleeding almost non-stop for 2+ years... turns out it was just a hormonal imbalance!

After getting all of that sorted, I had a chemical pregnancy in late July and we started TTC for real again. I caught in Oct and at my 10 week scan, we found a gestational sac measuring only 5+2. I knew it couldn't be good, but the sonographer was sure it was "perfect." A week later, I went back to find there was no new growth (as I expected) and took pills to start the MC. Bleed started Dec 15 (Merry freakin' Christmas to us!), I ovulated on Dec 30 or 31 (FF and I disagree). And, now I'm 23dpo with no AF and all s! Very frustrated and feel like it'll never happen for me... ever. I had so much confidence at the end of Dec... now 3 weeks later, I feel broken and sad.

Sorry that was so long! FX'd for all your s very quickly!

 

[KittyKatBabe]

Hi Girls,

Love that this forum has made it, I am sorry to meet you all here and hear about the losses we have shared. But I see light in some of the friendships I have made on here.

I am Sam, 34 been with my OH 2.5 years (took me a long time to find the one!). We knew we wanted to try for a family and in Jan 09 I removed my coil. Fell pregnant end of July but sadly had a mmc diagnosed 14th Sept, with a D & C day after. This made me realise what I would love to have and we went straight to TTC again after 1 cycle, unfortunately I had a very early natural loss with that pregnancy 8th November.

I have also had an abnormal smear result and had biopsy 22 Dec, still waiting on results but staying positive. Looked into various things and after 2 cycles we have decided to TTC but with a laid back attitude (or so my OH thinks - he just waits for later symptoms ha ha). This is our first cycle of giving it a go again, and i am now in 2ww with about 12/13 days until possible testing.

So I would like to say hello to you all and I am hoping we share our successful journeys to healthy babies here - Buckets of Baby to us all x x x

[TripleB]

Hey ladies

This thread is heartbreaking to read but at the same time reassuring that there are so many of us in the same boat.

I've just turned 29 and DH is 30. We got married in October 2006 and last year started being a bit less careful in the birth control department! To our surprise and joy, I got a BFP in September. I naively thought that was easy (I had never even heard of charting, OPKs, luteal phases etc....!).

Unfortunately our 3rd anniversary present was a MMC discovered at 12 weeks (no growth beyond 6 weeks) . I'll never forget sitting in the hospital thinking 3 years ago today I was in white dress and now look where we are...

I consider myself to be a pretty strong and positive person but nothing hits you like losing a baby. The last 3 months have been the toughest of my life but I'm determined to look on the bright side and look to the future (well most of the time anyway!). I've just started my second proper cycle after my ERPC (not counting the 50 days my AF took to reappear!) and am CD4 today. I am tooled up and ready to go - CBFM, temping, DH at the ready!

Looking forward to sharing the highs and lows of this journey with you all - the race is on to the first TTC After a Loss !

[fluffyblue]

Hi girls glad this thread is finally here.

Im Heather, 37 married to Noel, 2 children Ben is 16 and Laura is 8. I live in Birmingham West Midlands

I have been actively trying for number 3 for 2 years and have suffered 4 losses in that time. My losses are

1 - 6w loss in 2001 (6 months after Laura was born) didnt even know that I was PG just put it down to one of those things.

2 - 10w loss in Oct 2007 - Was in Gran Canaria at the time and now I think I hadnt had regular periods in over a year and didnt even know I was pregnant. Had an ERPC for removal.

3 - 9w loss in June 2009 this is the most painful as I saw bubs 3 times on scan and it grew and had a heartbeat each time. Then suddenly my symptoms stopped and had another scan the next day and it was gone. Had another ERPC for this loss.

4 - 4w loss in September 2009 spose this could be classed as a chemical but I had a positive HPT by docs and they classed it as a loss.

5 - 5w losses in November 2009. This is the weirdest had a confirmed ectopic but also one in my uterus - the one in my uterus didnt survive so its classed as a hetrotropic.

I have had the methotrexate shot so I couldnt conceive till this month but now AF here im back on the bandwagon.

So as for treatment, am under a Fertility Specialist and recurrent miscarraige specialist. Both planning good care for me. Currently tested positive for sticky blood so I could guess thats the cause of my MC but I dont know until they treat me and I get PG again so maybe I might suffer another loss.

Ive made some great friends on BNB but dont wanna keep being confined to the loss section.

So I am wishing you all the best of luck and if anyone any needs any advice just give me a PM xxxxxx

 

[Tasha]

Hello girls, I am so sorry your losses it is so unfair.

I am Tasha and am 24, my DH is 26, and we have been married for six years this year. We had Morgan his 5, then Naomi-Mae who is 4, and then I had my Honey she was born sleeping due to medical negligence just one day before our planned induction in May 2007, 361 days later her little sister Kaysie Blossom was born, then at the end of July/beginning of August 08 I had a miscarriage and since then I have had three more and a chemical pregnancy.

My cycles are getting longer and longer, and are almost seven weeks long now.

I have a clotting disorder which was discovered when I was pregnant with Kaysie Blossom, I was put on clexane (blood thinning injection) for that pregnancy but as I have never seen a haematologist I dont know what affects this has on me ttc.

Looking forward to getting to know you all, just hope it will be a little time here and then supporting each other through the pregnancy boards

 

[Stacey_89]

Hello ladies
Im so glad this has been made

First of all im so sorry for everyone's loss
Your stories are very touching.

Heres mine...

On April 13th i found out i was pregnant, i was so over the moon i couldnt let go of my positive pregnancy test saying im pregnant im pregnant !!!!!!!!
Sadly on 31st may when i woke up i was in agony with cramps and backache,then started to heavily bleed,was rushed to the hospital. Then as i was lying in bed OH said that to stop my cramps i could try pushing,so i did and everything came outmassive clots and tissue..... Was the worst moment of my life EVER, i knew my little angel was gone !!!

We have been trying ever since,and sometimes i just think this is not ment to be, feels like its taking forever to concieve again
but in dec i got a new job and my mind has totaly been of getting pregnant and me and OH have been bding near enough everyday.... so fingers crossed

2010 is going to be the year for BFP's!!!
