PREGNANCY CHAT - All stages welcome!!

well,I hope they can tell you hunny and fix it.

So sorry sparkles, and I'm still praying that everything will turn out ok with you.

Sparkles -
I know that there is nothing I can say to you right now to make you feel any better. I know that all the words of encouragement in the world don't mean too much today. But I AM praying for you and your husband. I know how much you wanted this little baby and I'm so very sorry to hear that things are not happening the way you had hoped.

We are all here for you - any time you need to talk. We love you. When you hurt, we all hurt.
Hang in there honey. Take care of yourself. Rest and take comfort in the arms of your little Kyrah.

Love you!!

Sparkles, honey I am so sorry for you, I truly am. I wish I could make it all better hun, you really have been through the mill. I hope you get the care you need and that they can tell you why this is happening. Thinking of you! xxx

sparkles, just wanted to come and send you lots of hugs today, you've been on mind since I heard your news.


Take all the time you need to heal physically & emotionally, and do let me know if you have any questions things you're wondering about the m/c, however detailed it might be. I felt quite weak and tired for a few weeks after mine, and my doctor said it was normal and to keep taking prenatal vitamins until it was better, it just gives your body the extra vitamins & minerals while its healing and getting back on track. Be really kind to yourself and do as much as or as little as you need to right now, really give yourself a break. Do you have friends or family close by who could bring meals, keep you company when you want it, etc?

Know we're all with you and are sharing this pain as much as we can, we're there with you and I know my heart is broken for you hon. Stay in touch when you can. much love & many hugs sweetie xoxoxo

Sparkles, I'm so sorry darling My heart is breaking for you. Just know that I am here for you if you need to talk. xxxxxx

Sparkles, I have just caught up with this thread and am totally shocked to read your news, I am so very sorry honey, I really am. x x x x x x

hey all
Well i have "officially" miscarried now. I was bleeding soooo heavy and passing sooo much tissue it wouldnt stop all day i was sent up to the ER and spent all sat night there in a bed ...fun, doing test after test, needles galore,being prodded and poked down there i was dizzy from losing so much blood. But they were excellent. Anyway they removed more tissue fom th ecervix and said they hope my cervix would start to close now and hope they got it all ( my ervix was open 2-3 sm ) no wonder i felt like i was in early labour yesterday. So now i am on two lots of anti biotics and on strict orders to come back up if hs or that happens etc.the doctor wants us to not for a few months ideally six, to let my body heal etc but we will see how we go, i am going to see a natropath and possible look at ttc around July-Sept, no rush just take it as it comes. I pray the next time i have to go to hospital will be to deliver a healthy baby . i will go in a few weeks for furter testing etc into why i may have miscarried three times now. The doctor thinks it was just too son and my body went throught oo much... makes sense, i hope its only that.
Anyway just thought i would update
xo

Sparkles, so sorry about all this. (((HUGS))) Scary that you had to go the ER but I'm glad you were well taken care of. I bet your poor hubby was scared too.

I hope the docs find out the reason for the m/c, but I'm interesting in you seeing the natropath. I think some of the alternative methods of treatment and healing can be quite beneficial, even if we don't always understand why it works.

Sparkles, I'll just give you another hug. I'm so so sorry! This just isn't fair and it shouldn't be that way. We love you and are here for you, whatever you need.

As for me, according to cycle day, today is the day I miscarried last time. CD 52. I don't know exactly when I ovulated last time or this time, so that's what I've got to go by for now. But I double checked FF and my first pregnancy was a 51 day cycle, so I miscarried CD 52, and today is CD 52 of this one. It's nearly 11am here and by this time last pregnancy, I was already bleeding and in a crazy amount of pain. I even POAS this morning, I was so scared to get out of bed in case I saw a tiny bit of spotting like last time. No spotting, and the 'second' line on the hpt showed up so quickly, before the control line even did!! So that helps. And that it's this far into the day and I am okay so far. It's all so frightening and I'm almost afraid to get my hopes up, but it seems this pregnancy has already lasted longer than the last one.

Sapphire - All I will say to you is think positive sweetie, I know what with Sparkles extremely sad news it's un-settled a few nerves for you (& others) and I certainly have no intentions of sounding (if I do) in-sensitive towards Sparkles tragic situation but the chances of miscarrying again are extremely slim, yes it can happen as we've seen but it's very rare. x x x

Yes sapphire sweety,you must try not to focus on what was,this is a totally different pregnancy,baby etc...everything is different.Lots of women MC and don't even know it,it's common for the first conception to be a MC,so just try and put that behind you.Have you tried some of the techniques that I wrote in that thread dedicated to you and sparkles (before sparkles MC'd ) I really think it helps to get over some of the worry and keep smiling! xxx

Sapphire, I can see how yesterday was very emotional, I feel the same way when mid January comes around and you'll always that day unfortunately Can't wait for your u/s

I'm doing great, gonna post a current 21 week belly pic tonight I seem lower, but you can all judge that

I go in for more blood work tomorrow (some that got deleted from my first lot of blood work) and also getting my thyroid tested again...I feel they will adjust my meds this time. I think it's my thyroid that is helping my hair grow

Anyways got my next OBGYN appointment on the 11th!!

Gutter, I'm super excited if the thyroid meds are helping your hair grow back!

Suppose to find out if I'm on a higher dose of Synthroid in about about a half hour since it was abnormal at my last blood test.

Sapphire, I am soooo beyond excited for your u/s on Monday, praying your miracle is a sticky one and from hearing about your symptoms, sounds like s/he is causing mommy to be feeling a little pregnant

yay gutter, I hope the meds are tweaked to be just right and that it will REALLY help your hair grow back! that is fantastic news Did you post the new bump pic yet or did I miss it? I'll have to check... Do keep us posted on your results okay?

How's everyone else doing? 24P, LeanneWhitney, and anyone else? I hope you're all feeling well!! I have definitely been feeling sicker by the day sometimes, which has me feeling all the more reassured

thanks for your messages & encouragement Georgi, gutter & Angel. I really appreciate all three of you writing. Last Monday was so frightening and I needed to get that out. BTW, DH and I are HUGE hockey fans and the NHL are in playoffs now. We've never in our lives been to a playoff game b/c the tickets are so expensive and hard to find. But Monday afternoon, friends of our called to say they won 2 really fantastic tickets to that night's hockey game and they wanted to give them to us since they aren't hockey fans but knew we were!! How generous is that?! We had incredible seats, in the private section for all the really rich business people. I've never had any kind of tickets that good, let alone for the playoffs!! It was so perfect to have such an amazing date night that day of all days and was just what we needed. Our home team did get eliminated from the playoffs that night but that's okay, it was still an unforgetable night!!

The thinking positive thing I am in two minds about because I don't agree that I shouldn't remember the past and in that sense focus a little on what happened, and I think it's okay and understandable for me to feel afraid and worry about this pregnancy, and I want to be able to express those thoughts here and be honest about it. I won't forget the first pregnancy and I don't want to; it's been a comfort to remember the baby, be sad when I need to feel sad, and remember her in little ways throughout my day (like the ring DH gave me after the loss with a little pink stone to remember her. I am totally attached to the ring and never take it off, but it's a good thing for me to have that tangible reminder). At the same time I realize thinking positive has its benefits and you have to know that I am thinking as positive as I can at this point. I do imagine having a bump this summer, just this morning I was thinking how I would pack for a 4-week vacation in that stage of pregnancy, what clothes to wear, etc. I am thinking positive. But I am realistic too in that I know last time there was a problem chromosomally in the baby's development so it couldn't live. I realize that this could happen again and there's nothing I can do to change it, so of course I'll be nervous until I know. Which should happen on Monday ... I am terrified but hopeful too! I hope I haven't offended anyone here but I wanted to say what I was thinking. I love all of you very much and that's not at all what I want to do!!

speak soon xoxox

Sapphire that ring is a beautiful reminder hunny!!! My mom got me a little crystal angel in a material box to remember the baby I could of had. I think that's so sweet how you thought of her as a girl, I have no instinct as to what gender my little angel could of been, but I added the name Angel to Audrey's middle name as a reminder and also it's my mom's middle name

That's really cool gutter, both about the angel your mom gave you and giving Audrey such a meaningful middle name too. You know it's strange, with my first pregnancy I was SURE it was girl from just a few days after my , but with this pregnancy, I have absolutely no idea. It's almost like knowing it was a girl was a gift I was given to help me deal later on or something.

I told DH all I wanted for Christmas was a simple ring with a small pink stone, so he picked one out for me. Normally I'm all about getting surprises on Christmas morning, but this year I didn't care, this was all I wanted. He did a great job finding one, and you know what the pink stone was? A pink sapphire!! How ironic is that?! I didn't even know you could get pink sapphires

happy weekend sweetie!

Sapphire - I had an overwhelming feeling that my first pregnancy was also a girl, I have only ever mentioned this to Holi as I thought everyone would think I was a bit odd, Holi knows I'm odd anyway hehehe!! but as you mentioned it I thought I would share!

Sapphire good luck for your scan sweetie xx

I'll be on right as I get into the house to see your status!! Hoping and praying for good news, good luck sweetie!!!

Sapphire, i'm confident everything will be JUST FINE this time, but will be looking for an update early this evening.

When is Nika supposed to be home?

I think she was suppose to be home yesterday, but I could be wrong...

Hey georgi thanks for sharing that!! It's very cool that you felt it was a girl too, somehow it gives you a bit more to remember doesn't it?

Thanks everyone for your good wishes!! I'll be texting Ginny and will change my FB status from my phone later today. I know there are plenty of good signs and that the odds are good. I'm a bit worried as so far today I seem to have more of an appetite than the past few days ... is that okay if that sort of thing comes & goes? I will be so much better off once I have an answer later from the u/s!!

thanks again ... hopefully I have great news to share later today!
