[lilesMom]

Amy, epidural here too. Used to be set against them but my miscarriage was the most painful experience of my life and if birth is like that...I want pain relief!
Even numbers can be good- no kid to feel left out and get mad my oldest has 3 and regrets it because there is always one getting angry and feeling pushed aside by the other two

Laura out bodies were just so ready to grow them weren't they?

 

[lilesMom]

I too felt like I was having a girl . A part of me wanted a boy first but then I didnt care and just wanted a healthy LO but my gutt was just screaming girl. My symptoms starting going away about a week before I went in for my us but just the nausea . I figured I was going to be one of those lucky ones that didnt get sick anymore right before my 2nd trimester... sadly I was wrong . I had no bleeding what so ever and nothing telling me that I was misscarrying. In the us, my baby was sitting there, looking like she was asleep... fully intact but with no heartbeat. I just stared at the screen and once it sank in, I was hysterical and was sobbing like I have never sobed before. I looked at my husband and he just grabbed me as I was lying there, held my head against his chest with the look of disbelief on his face and hugged me to try and ease the pain. After I had my d&c, there was still left over tissue. It was like she didnt want to let go and neither did I . It was horrible and I am terrified of going through that again and pray that we dont.

This morning after thinking about last night's bd, I stood in the shower and just prayed. I really really really hope we get our lo's.. I really do.

oh amy, me too chick xxxxxx

 

[mommylov]

But like you said Laura, we'll get there!

 

[mommylov]

Laura, I think I found that PMA thread you were talking about... there sure are a lot of BFP's in there!

mommylov I just came across this thread and read your story which is exactly the same as mine. I went for 10 week scan last week and saw no heartbeat and my little baby just lying there lifeless...it broke my heart in two cannot stop crying and thinking of why this has happened? i had two scans previous to this which detected a heartbeat and i was so hopeful that everything was fine. I'm 31 years old and have no kids yet so was so looking forward, this is my second loss this year as i suffered an ectopic pregnancy in Feb aswell so this is so so hard again!!

Has anyone else suffered an ectopic followed by a miscarriage and went on to have successful pregnancies??

I need some reassurance... also took a pregnancy test today and came back positive and OPK showed a very strong positive, is it possible HCG levels are still high if i had d and c 6 days ago? i couldn't possibly be ovulating yet?

 

[Storked]

I pray for us too Amy. Love you! and

What is PMA ladies?

Kaznib, honey, so sorry for your loss. I think hcg can still be in the system for a while but not too sure because I never tested afterwards. The odds are in your favor of carrying a healthy baby to term. Please know that. I highly recommend the book Coming to Term by Jon Cohen- it is an excellent book on miscarriage.

Hi Kaz, Im so sorry to hear you had the same experience as me hun. If you are looking for comfort and reasurance, you came to the right place. There are a great group of ladies here for you . I didnt have an ectopic but this was my 1st mc and I didnt pass naturally so had to have a D&C. My HGC levels didnt go back to 0 until about a month after my D&C. They said a HPT can detect HCG levels as low as 2 so it could be that your levels are going down but not at zero yet. My dr did bloodwork and it took me about 4 days to go from 16 to 0. Give it a couple more weeks and it should get down to zero. If you are really concerned about it, you can always have your dr do bloodwork to find out what your exact level is.

Bethany, love ya too girly !!!! Yes, PMA is what Laura said but I too agree that we have pleanty of that in here too. Theyhave lots of BFP in that room so I thought Id just pop in and see whats up heheh. To be honest, I only went in there because Laura was there otherwise I would only sty here which this is still my main. I dont know that I will branch out unless its with you gals

Laura, how are you feeling today hun??

Jen, hows it going???

Horsey, youve been quiet... Hope youre ok

I am active on here and one other thread and both are happy places to be. I would look for the other but if I take on another thread I may not have time to eat or use the bathroom LOL

What makes an awesome thread is when there is caring. We always talk to each other and not just about ourselves which is amazing. You ladies are awesome and I hold a lot of hope for us in my heart and in my prayers

This journey will take us all to those rainbows!

Aww I feel just the same. I came here looking for answers and comfort.. not only did I get that but I feel even though we all have never met in person, that you all are my friends and I want nothing but the best for everyone!!!!

 

[Storked]

We are all friends! We are even FB friends
We will encourage each other until we get those healthy LOs! Then we can start a thread in the parenting section

Hope you are all having a great day!

Fellow pet parents, what do you do when you need to go out of town for a couple of nights? DH thinks that our cat will be fine while we are gone but I worry about him not getting cuddled or any interaction. I can't leave him with family right now and no friends can watch him for me either.

 

[Storked]

Also want to share this with you lovely ladies: my DH and I saw a rainbow today. I take it as a sign that our rainbows our close. Love you guys!

Hi Kaznib, I am so sorry for your loss. I am also a first timer (and hopefully only time) for miscarriage. I can tell you from what I have read, that many many women go on to have successful pregnancies after having either 1 miscarriage or many. My doctor kept reassuring me this. From what I have read an ectopic is something that can happen to anyone, the embryo implanted in the wrong place. This is originally what they thought was happening to me. Do they know what caused the miscarriage yet, or no. Oh, and about hcg levels, it seems like everybody is different. Like in my case, I was 18.5 weeks along when I Lost my baby boy, and exactly 1 week later I took a pregnancy test, and it was negative, that really surprised me, because I was so far along. But the weird thing is, even though my hcg levels were down to almost nothing, tomorrow will make it 4 weeks since my d&c and I still havent gotten my period. So, I don't know what the heck is going on with me.
