Super, I am so glad you finally found a good man! I believe I recall your ex rather well and seem to remember something about him having another baby during the midst of your awful losses? I don't have the best memory though. I am glad you are finally set to have your baby. That's awesome! I was just thinking about you and some other ladies that used to be on this forum. If I ever stop writing on here, I figure I will come back after a few years to update, even if it isn't positive news.
So glad your news is positive news!
Fluter, The shot is supposed to be horrible, but not as horrible as surgery. Your bleeding, I am sad to say, is not over. I would not be out too often without ample protection. I have heard some women say that it is just like a normal period, just heavier because of the loss. Have a good heating pad and a supply of Tylenol. Sometimes it takes some people weeks to start feeling the effects of the shot. I don't think any loss is easy to bear. The things we have to go thru are awful and most people can't even imagine how deeply they affect us. I hope the shot goes easy. Your number was double what both of mine was for my tubal ruptures. They told me that since I was having IVF and the baby skips the tubal trip all together that there was no way I could have a tubal pregnancy, but I found out first hand that was a lie..
Anyway, I am praying for you to be at peace.
LLawson, I don't have to eat protein for a pregnancy, but I did have some supposed issues with my NK cells. I have been taking fish oil and eating sunflower seeds and almonds daily. I get them at the Dollar General Store and just pour them into a bowl. They have bbq flavored and a toffee nut flavored and I mix them together so the flavors offset each other. Plus they're less expensive for us peeps that have to eat them for health reasons and need them every day. I struggle some days to want to eat them.
I am hoping that I can repair some of the stuff I have been told isn't great before I even get to the hard part.
AFM: I had an old friend text me the other day. She starts out asking why I had not just deactivated my Facebook, but why I had to permanently delete it. I told her my reasons had mostly to do with bad family and too many babies reminding me that our baby would not be arriving in April. She goes on to write me this long text talking about how God hasn't allowed me and my husband to have a baby because we have kids already that we don't see. I won't bore you with details, but I will just say that us not seeing our children is not in any way, our own idea.
Anyway, my 'friend' tells me that is why God has not allowed me and my hubby to have kids, so in a sense, that is why God has let me miscarry 8 babies. 'God killed my babies because my daughter hates me' is basically what she said. My husband was furious. We talked about how many people feel justified in using God when they want to condemn someone, but not ever knowing Him when it comes to loving someone. All I could text back was that if God wanted my babies, He could have them and that all I can do in my awfulness is just pray He would forgive me for not being allowed to see my daughter and He would not keep me from conceiving forever. Some times now I struggle with deciding within myself if I will never will speak to her again or forgiving her for thinking that I deserved to miscarry 8 children. One part of me wants to forgive and the other part wants to kick her in the face.
I get so sick of these 'holier-than-thou' people who use God to explain the bad that other people 'deserve', but never do they ever say that those people deserve the good things that God gives them. Especially when you haven't set your eyes on said person for a decade.
Blah to the people who feel justified in casting boulders into people's lives!
