Trying after 3 COnsecutive Losses....PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!

[Courtney917]

Aww I am sorry to hear that . I wish her only the best. Hearing news like that makes me nervous but I know I have to remain positive that everything will work out. Same with you, everything will be okay . Does she know why she's had so many miscarriages?

On a happier note...I got my BETA back and it's 282!!!!!!! Doubling time was 19 hours! I am cautiously optimistic but oh so worried that things will go wrong. I wish they would continue testing my BETAs lol.

 

[Courtney917]

Ohh and glad your holiday was good!! Hope you were able to get some rest!

We had to go to a wake last night. My husband's friend passed away, it was really sad. I was feeling soooo sick the entire time. My stomach was bloated and I was having so many gas pains (TMI) it was horrible. So I drank some ginger ale and then I started getting acid reflux! Ugh. BUT I'm not going to complain bc this bean looks sticky!!! I keep getting beautiful smiley faces on my OPKs. I use them to feed my obsession lol.

I am over the moon, so excited! I have my first scan on 9/24...I can't wait!

LOL I know what you mean, every time I feel awful I just thank god for it!
Thats so good about your beta results, i'm really pleased, looks like we will be pregnancy buddies eh (cause i'm trying to refuse to be pessamistic!(not sure if thats how you spell it ))
How many weeks will you be on the 24th? 8 ish??
I know what you mean about the bad news, I can't get it out of my head but keep trying to remember that she's had problems concieving and then keeping them for years and the fact I had 2 children perfectly fine means my chances are much better. I hope my little sticky bean remembers that!! She doesn't seem to have any real reason why as all tests came back clear but there is obviously a problem somewhere
I'm convinced i'm having a boy - we SO MUCH want a girl but I wander if I can't carry them. I've not got one of my very own. I figure if i'm sure it's a boy and the scan shows a boy i'll be glad it's Ok but if it's a girl we'll be over the moon.
Are you hoping for any particular gender?? Every pregnancy we've had we start talking names and then it all goes wrong and so we wish we never but once again we are already name talking. We just can't help it. How about you two??
Once again SO GLAD of your great news Makes today feel that little bit better

Yep we can be pregnancy buddies!!! Its crazy that you and I both had so many problems and we both end up with successful pregnancies at the same time!. Aww poor girl so she doesn't have any of her own children, that's terrible. I can't imagine being in her shoes it must be so difficult . I feel the same way, of course we want a girl but i don't think it will happen for me either as I have 2 boys!! My husband thinks its a girl but he said that the last time too lol.

Thanks so much I am BEYOND happy!!!!!. It's crazy bc my husband's granmother passed away a few years ago and today is her birthday. Two days ago her picture randomly showed up on my husband's phone under contacts....soooo weird (he didn't have any pics of her on his phone). Now today, on her birthday we get this amazing news .

I went to the endocronologist today and he is very pleased with hwo aggressive my obgyn is treating my thyroid. He said my levels should be back to normal within 3 weeks and all should be okay. He was shocked when I told him of all the miscarriages. He said my levels aren't terribly high but they can contribute to the miscarriages as well as a dominance of estrogen which can cause low progesterone. I am convinced that the progesterone has been my problem all of these times and was never perscribed the correct amount of supplements. I'm so happy I decided to take more then the docs recommended, I think that combined with the baby aspirin is helping this baby thrive!!

Yep I will be around 8 weeks on the 24th...same for you on the 31st right? What's your due date??

I am sooooo excited for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone! My hubby and I have been TTC for 8 months. Within this time I have had 3 cp (12/11, 6/12, 7/12). I have an appt with my doctor next Friday. However, I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so did yoou go on to have a successful pregnancy if you got pregnant right after your loss. I started taking a B-Complex Vitamin along with my prenatal pills every morning. I was also thinking of taking a baby asprin...I heard that this can work (a friend of mine was in the same situation and she took baby asprin and was able to go to term with the baby). I've also been reading up on asprin and it seems like it can't hurt to give it a try...my midwife said the same. Sooo....with that being said I'm reaching out for some advice and support.

Thisis one of my problems and i am now on baby asprin and progesterone as it seems I have low progesterone making the baby unable to stick...

good luck hun...

I am sooooo excited for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She does have a daughter aged 11, but from what ive read i think she even had to have help for her. She says she's now just trying to concentrate on her daughter (we said that with ours every time and then after our mental healing period we got back on the job and so i wonder if she will too)

Thats sooo weird about the grandmothers picture I definatelty believe in signs. On the day of my last miscarriage I was waffling on about not bothering to continue etc and we have a KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON sign in my kitchen, while I was talking it kind of came to my attention and would not go away, I think that was a sign just the same as when i cancelled the fertility clinic appointment the letter still turned up for me to make an appointment the morning we decided to keep trying. It's so weird!!

My due date is April 14th, April is a mental month for birthdays within my family but I don't care bring it on! LOL

 

[cc1975]

Our situations are def different from hers considering we didn't have any trouble with our boys.

That should be our motto: Keep Calm and carry on!. I'm still a freak and worrying all of the time. I really need to get AWAY from Google. I'm finding stuff on molar pregnancies, blighted ovums....OMG I need to stop!.

Aww an April baby. That's great! My two boys are both November babies so I am excited to have a spring baby coming .

Sooooo happy you met your 7th week mark!!!!!! You must be excited for Friday to come!!!!!! I can't wait to see how everything goes, I am sure it will be GREAT!.

I've been having cramping on and off so that is freaking me out. Have you been having cramping? From what I understand it is completely normal at this stage of pregnancy but after these losses I can't help but worry. I have been nauseous on and off as well, it usually hits me in the afternoon, I have been super tired as well. I'm hoping these stupid thyroid levels decrease bc right now that is nerve-wracking. Supposed to get those levels checked in three weeks so hopefully they have decreased.

Sorry it took me so long to reply...we went away this weekend .

Sorry it took me so long to reply...we went away this weekend .

No worries it's a busy and tiring life.. especially now! LOL

Yes, I've had cramping mainly end of week 4, then week 5 and on and off week 6. Every time I worry to death but just try to think..if's its gonna stay its gonna stay and theres nothing I can do to change it. It terrifies me!!

I think you have a few more worries than I did because of your thyroid levels and so I definately feel for you, I just so hope it all works out ok.

We have been a bit adventurus last weeks and did some gentle .... I know! I know! I said I wasn't going to! But the urge was too strong! ..and there i was constantly reminding myself it doesn't make you miscarry anyway. Then we both feel a bit guilty afterwards!
I can't wait to see this scan to see if everything is ok and we haven't messed anything up. I don't think we should have cause everyone does it right!!???

Even though you had your losses, does it stop you too at all?? Thing is we were at it all the time before (TMI) and so to go to nothing is a killer! But OMG the worry!!

I've had REAL bad couple of days nausea, off food, even through the night. It's killing my DH seeing me like it but I keep reminding him it's all good lol. He says if it were him and he knew it was like this he would never have done it again after having one! LOL - Men - whats wetties!! LOL

 

[Courtney917]

Ok so you had the cramping around same time as me. I'm end of week 4...so I suppose its totally normal. I have an appt with the doctor's office on the 7th the go over everything then my scan on the 24th. I know the thryoid issue sucks, it causes me to worry like crazy.

Ohhh the Bding, my poor hubby and I haven't since I found out. I am sooo worried about it especially since I am cramping. After my HCG levels came back high he's like so I can go near you now right?!? LOL...I'm going to wait til the cramping stops for a few days then I will feel comfortable again in that area. No it doesn't cause miscarriages I am just crazy so there's no need to worry!!!!

Aww the nausea is a killer. When we were driving home yesterday a wave of it came over me, I felt soooo crappy. So I completely understand. Mine usually comes on at night. Last night I felt like that while I was watching tv in my bed. Hopefully yours will subside soon . Did you have sickness with your other two pregnancies?

 

[cc1975]

My cramping on days 26, 27, 28 were awful - so much so that I thought AF was definately coming. I was so sure I hadn't gotten pregnant this month because I had started back on the pill half way through I thought i'd messed it up completely. Even with the odd symptom I was sure my mind was playing tricks on me but on day 29 something made me test and that was my BFP. So when I got cramping afterwards too I thought hey at least something must be working.
With my miscarriages I never even felt them coming, just started bleeding all of a sudden and then only once I was bleeding did major cramping start afterwards. So fingers crossed it's all good cramping!!
I would not do BDing while cramping, we have only done it on and off when it's all calm and settled which is only on and off, I seem to be forever getting twinges and a 'heavy feeling' down there!
My poor DH didn't know what had hit him once I found out I was pregnant and so cancelled all further BDing so we know exactly how it feels LOL
My sickness has calmed down this evening, with my boys it was nausea all day but never through the night too so it's a bit of a wake up call! and I still can't eat great. I'm a little achy 'down below' but thats probably cause it hasn't seen any action for a while I'm praying thats all it is anyway! Only 4 days until the scan.... I think i'll leave it alone until then lol
Hope your evening is sicky in one way but not too bad in another..after all every awful symptom is a bonus XXX

 

[Courtney917]

Today my cramping has subsided but I am taking it really easy! My friend recommended seeing a high-risk OB. She said she would be as cautious as possible especially since I have hypo and a history of miscarriages so I am going to call one tmrw. Maybe they can get me in for an early scan.

I feel like I have been run over by a mack truck I am soooooo sore :/. My hubby asked me if we could BD tonight, lol I had to turn him down. I told him once I stop cramping for a while we can try lol.

I feel a little sick tonight...not too bad but enough to make me feel secure .

 

[cc1975]

Where are you sore??
I was worried this morning as didn't have my horrible sickness but it just kicked in full on at lunch time so I kinda feel better now ( in a way anyway!! ) lol

 

[Courtney917]

My back, legs...pretty much my entire body. It could be due to my two year old sleeping with us and KICKING me in the back all night though lol.

I had slight sickness this am but not much the last two days just slight. However with my two boys its didn't kick in til 6 weeks.

FOUR more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called to get an appt with a high risk OB and get the run around about needing a referral. Its so annoying. I am going to the endo and m regular ob so that should be okay...I'm assuming bc I am seeing a specialist for the hypo.

Glad (sorta) that your sick!!!! I mean I wish you weren't but happy you are....if that makes any sense ha ha.

 

[cc1975]

Yeah i'm glad I am too It kicked in just lovely for the afternoon right up until past tea time. The only problem is it covers most of my eating times and so i'm not eating terribly well at the moment but hey... I ain't complaining!!! LOL.

Sorry to hear you are sore, do you think it might be ligaments softening up?? My back always gets dodgy early on and then settles a bit and then gets loads worse at the end. Iv'e got some gorgeous varicous veins on my legs and now one has come up behind my knee and it's sore as hell. I think thats all to do with it too. I hope it settles down because it's quite painful today and I don't want to end up wearing those well weird support stockings through the rest of this pregnancy!! -OMG!!

Anyway, that's my moan over, hope you feel better tomorrow

What day do you change weeks? Mine is on a sunday.So this Sunday all being well i'll be 8 weeks! When do you get to 5? At what stage have you miscarried previously I can't remember sorry. I've finally passed all my bad dates and so weirdly, even though I am well aware it can happen any time, I still feel a little better the 'dodgy' days have gone

 

[Courtney917]

Oh the veins!!! I have some lovely ones as well, although they aren't painful. Hopefully yours will ease up soon!! I felt a tinge of sickness this afternoon but nothing too crazy. Enough to get that watery feeling in my mouth lol. Other then that I've been super tired.

I went to the Endo today and he thinks my miscarriages have been caused by the low progesterone and not necessarily directly bc of the thyroid...although the thyroid may be causing the low progesterone. So its good I'm on the supplements. He said my thyroid isn't terribly high so he's not too concerned and is confident the meds will do the trick. He's going to monitor my levels every month to make sure they don't have to be increased again. So his calm demeanor made me feel a lot better especially bc I'm on the suppositories.

I'll be 5 weeks tmrw!! My previous losses were all before 4 weeks....my period always just showed up on time....I really think it was bc of the low progesterone or a problem with my uterine lining...so the baby aspirin and progesterone must've helped thicken it up to help with implantation. I started prog 6 days before my period was due which I think was a good call.

Wow!!! You're almost 8 weeks?!? That's awesome!!!! I still freak out with the cramping although I didn't have any yesterday and only slight cramping today.

It all sounds pretty hopeful with your endo person and that. Fingers crossed all will be brilliant

The veins are still there, they were achy last night but a bit better today. OMG I woke absolutley starving 2am this morning and had to munch out on some ginger biscuits! I feel SO sick thinking of foods, it's really hard to eat properly - I know I'm a moaner! LOL

5 weeks sounds good brilliant so i'm about 3 weeks ahead ish, that'll be good to compare notes

My midwife called me today to sort out a booking appointment, i explained I have scan on friday and so she's gonna call after the scan and go from there - not like she doesn't want to waster her time in case it's bad news or anything !!! I can kind of understand it, but for god's sake, lets be optimistic eh!! Anyway once i've sat it out until friday AND it all looks good then i'll get on and be 'booked in' and followed closely by the midwife, so it's all go yey!!

Right i'm off to try and attempt to make tea ( the watery mouth oh god yeah i know all about it LOL)

Speak soon XX

Well I had a scare last night, I started spotting and went right to the ER. They did a pelvic exam and he said he didn't see any blood and my cervix was closed. My HCG levels were in the 5000's so he said my levels were very good. They did an ultrasound but were unable to see anything, doc said that's component especially with ER sonos and not to worry as I am very early and he wouldn't expect to see anything this early on their low tech machines. He told me to follow up with my ob today.

Ugh, I'm so worried. No spotting today....and feeling sick this morning. I'm supposing things are ok as my levels are very high but I'm nervous bc he didn't see anything on Sono. What do you think? I still have no explanation for bleeding and he considered it a threatened miscarriage bc I was spotting.

Poor you!!! You must be going crazy with worry!! I know I would be, but I know that they cannot see anything so early on with a normal ultrasound and even a transvaginal one does not always show anything thats why they like to leave it. I had transvaginal at 7 weeks once and it was just the smallest looking slug ever! Thats what I have to have tomorrow so they can see everything as much as possible as a normal one will not show so much they say.
I think you have to try and stay positive. Your numbers are good and keep relying on that. Your cervix is closed ( I felt mine just before I started losing one of my last miscarriages and knew it was opening which worried me and I was right to be worried. Now I even start to panic if it's feeling soft but I know that it is supposed to soften after a while anyway.)
Try and stay positive. I think the only way we get through this is just to hold on in there until there is undenyable evidence that it has fallen out and yours hasn't as yet and hopefully will not.
Let me know what your ob says - maybe he will have a better scanner and see a little blob?? Thing is, even then, we never know if it's gonna stick. I know with my scan tomorrow, even if its there and looking good theres nothing to say it wont all go horribly wrong afterwards. Unfortunately people like us just have the horrible realisation that these little suckers don't always stick and we just have to pray it stays in there and does well... after all there seems to be nothing else we really can do!
Good luck with your ob and I really really hope it all stays / sticks, i'll be thinking of you (and worrying!) constantly! XXXXXX
