Pregnancy Info HOME

Heyyy beautiful ladies (and any guys on here - lol), I'm still here. Just wanted to drop in and say hi since I've been MIA lately. I'm here but (unfortunately it's just me, if you know what I mean). Didn't want to discourage anyone. I believe you all will be fine. I had some complications and will be trying again in the fall (hopefully). GOD IS YET WONDERFUL even thru the hard times. Be blessed!!! Neenka

Neenka, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing well and I'm happy you are not discouraged and are ready to ttc soon. Please don't feel like you have to shield us..I don't want to speak for anyone..but please share your story if you feel up to it. Everyone has to face the good and the bad...that is why the good is soo good when you finally do get it. What happened can happen to anyone and it is not to scare anyone but it is the truth..not to say a loss will hurt any less if you expect it but it is a possibility and you shouldn't feel like you can't talk about it here. We are here to support eachother and to help give everyone hope and courage so please allow me to do that for you..don't feel like you have to hold back..and don't take this as me trying to force you to tell us anything. I will not mention it again..I just wanted you to know I am here for you and I am sure the other women on here feel the same. Take care everyone. Hope everyone is doing good.

Joker, That was so sweet of you. No I have no problem of sharing. Like I said..I just didn't want to discourage or put a damper on things. You are right though..It's just reality and will not affect anyone else's outcome. Anyway..at around 6 weeks, I had an ultrasound. For some reason, it seemed a bit questionable to me but they said all was well. Baby had a hb of 136. That was with a v____al ultrasound b/c the regular kind did not work well (never does). I went 2 weeks later and they no longer saw hb..and they said the baby had stopped growing around 6 weeks. I decided to get a second opinion the next week. SAME outcome. I never started bleeding.By the time I had the D&C, I should have been about 10 weeks. NO, I don't understand God's plan but I YET trust HIM. HE does know what's best! This is the 4th child I have lost. I believe that we will eventually have a child! For now, I am continuing my research with what could be wrong. The doc is now checking me for thrombophilia!!!

Neenka, I absolutely, 100% agree with Joker. My heart really hurts for you, but I know that your faith is profound and your prayers will be answered. I'll admit---I too don't always understand God's plan, I question him, question the path before me and wonder why this is happening to you, me, all of us ladies here. But all I can do is pray that everything will be as it should. Again, I'm soooo sorry but please remember, that we're all here for you!!

Has anyone heard from Ms Monet? Is she ok? Good vibes to all of you ladies out there. I started my 34th week this week, not much longer now!

NEENKA-I am sorry to hear your news. God is not through with you yet. Be patient and have faith... All will be well.... I just know it... JOKER, RU and JULIANNE-How are you? MELISSA-Thinking of you. I am now in my second trimester. Thank God!!! 34 wks!!! Wow!!! Yippee! I am so happy for you!!!! Keep us posted!!! Hey Girls-Hope all is well. I am fine. I go in for Genetic Counseling tomorrow and an NT on friday. An NT is an U/S that shows all the details like number of bones, organs, facial features, etc. And we find out the s_x of the twins. They also check foe Down Syndrome, etc. Say alittle prayer for me. My fibroid is growing, also...

Ms Monet! It is so great to hear from you I was so worried :) I'm glad you and twins are doing good...are you on progesterone..i don't know if it will help but when I have heard of women who take it I don't want to get into to details but you know why I'm saying it..take care...keep us posted!

Oh Ms Monet! So good to hear from ya! Now you can't go off and have IVF and get pregnant with twins then disappear! Scares us all that something bad has happend!! I actually did the NT test and pa__sed, then did the amnio. Most folks don't want the amnio. I DID. I'm so glad I did it (it was SUCH a non-event, so easy). Anyway, it has put me at some ease throughout this entire pregnancy. Also, my DH rented me a decent HB Monitor. That also keeps me at ease as whenever that anxiety creeps up, I just check and sure enough, the HB is still cranking away! (I've had 3 mc's sadly) Now, IVF has some significant benefits, primary I think in that they select the BEST eggs. So I think you're probably in great shape. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

Hi Joker! How are you? I was on it. Actually, all of the hormones are what caused my fibroids to reappear.... No more Prog. Finished with tha a few wks ago. All natural now, baby. Just don't want the fibroids to interfere with space in my stomach or anything. Babies are great. I saw them on friday!!! MELISSAK-Sorry, all is well. How about you? It feels so weird to be in the 2nd Trimester. Time is flying by so quickly.

Hi Ladies, Just checking in... not much to report on my end. Busy with work and a recent move... trying not to focus TOO much on TTC... (that is how I calm myself down, but of course I am quietly obsessing!) Ms. Monet and MelissaK - great to hear that your pregnancies are going well! Neenka, my sincere apologies and my prayers are with you... thank you for sharing your experience here with us. Be well, ladies!

Ms Monet, don't you disappear on us again..you had me so worried. Wow! you are in the 2nd tri already..time just is going by fast.. That is so great you got to see your little ones..when do you go back to the doc again..when do you find out the s_x? MelissaK how are you doing..I know you must be on the edge of your seat..I'm also very excited for you. Have you chosen a name yet? Juliane, your wishes will come through before you know it. Take care everyone :)

JOKER-Sorry, I was away for abit. All is well. Just praying the fibroids don't become a problem. I go to my OB/GYN next wk on Tues and I am back at the Peri in about 3 1/2 wks. I was told that I could find out the s_x then but maybe my OB can see something next wk. No symptoms lately. I heard the 2nd Trimester is the easiest. Time is flying... I am going to start buying some furniture for the twins in a few wks. So many sales... So exciting.... Whats going on with you and dh?

Hi everyone. I am really glad to have found this site, and I am learning a lot from everyone. Here is my story and I would love some advice. Last year, my gyno found a 5cm fibroid in my uterus. I only have one... anyway, it isn't causing me any problems and I wouldn't even know it was there. Fast forward to this year--I got married a month ago and I went in for my yearly, and the fibroid has grown to 6cm. Still not causing problems. My gyno told me I needed to get a myo in order to conceive, but then she backtracked and told me she wanted me to get another test before I make the decision. I went in for the HSG today, and the technician couldn't do it--said my cervix was oriented in a way that made it difficult, or else I have a polyp. That's another issue. Anyway, so now I'm left to figuring out if I should try to risk conceiving right away with this fibroid, and potentially miscarry and have pain, or get it removed and risk surgery, scarring, etc. I'm not sure what to do, and both options scare me so much. My husband is great and supportive and I know he really wants children. Part of me is so afraid that I wish I could just give this whole thing up. I know that's not the right way to feel... I'm trying to be positive but it can be so discouraging. A lot of doctors seem not to know what they're doing. So I guess I'm still looking just for advice and ideas about getting pregnant after having a myo. If I want to get it, this fall is the best time for me career-wise.

Hi Bibi..welcome to the site. I'm sorry to hear about you and your fibroid. My first advise to you is to seek a doctor that specialize in treating fibroids..or a GYN surgeon, they should know more and be able to offer better advise. The 1st rule is get more than one opinion. I know surgery is scary but if that is whats best then that is what needs to be done. I wouldn't worry too much about 1 fibroid..what you should talk to your doc about is the location and if it is growing rapidly..don't know if growing 1cm in a year is considered fast...but what troubles me most is the cervix..do they think the fibroid is causing the issue with your cervix. I would recommend getting more test possible with someone who specializes in this field. Please try not to worry so much. I understand your delima but look at it this way...get all the information possible so you can make the best choice. keep posting and let us know how you are doing. How is everyone else RU..I haven't heard from you in awhile..hope all is well

hey Ms Monet! i didn't see your post there..just responded to Bibi...everything is going great..I'm going off BC this month..so no more BC after Aunt Flo end of month and then we are going to start trying come SEpt..I wanted to get in to see my doc before ttc..but I wasn't able to get in before my next ovulatioin cycle..sorry if TMI :) so I'm hoping if I do get prego when I go see him he will tell me everything is fine..I just feel like with my bad luck I'm going to get preggo before I go see him and he is going to say something like wish you hadn't have done that because....(can't hear what else he will say because I will be jumping out the window) so I'm hoping not to get preggo..but then I'm going tokick myself in the a__s if he tells me everything is fine..AHH!!! the delima... Well enough about me..I'm so happy for you..now you take it easy..the 2nd tri is the easiest..you will wake up one morning and just feel like your normal self again..except for huge belly :) but remember to take it easy. Make sure you keep us posted..wow I still can't believe it is the 2nd tri already!

BIBI-Pls, find the best doctor in your state. Get a 2nd opinion. I had a fibroid that prevented me from getting pregnant. I got it out (Myo and Lap) but had scar tissue which later developed unfortunately blocking my tubes. I did IVF and now I am pregnant in my 2nd trimester. The route was somewhat long and ended up going a direction that I never thought but I am pregnant with twins and so happy! I got a Myo Oct 2006 and got pregnant in May 2007. The IVF process was so fast. Remember that fibroids most times grow faster and quicker once you are pregnant. If the doctor recommends getting it out with a Myo, pls do so. You don't want the fibroid to grow and steal all of the babies blood supply or take up too much room in your uterus. Some women made through pregnancy with them. I just wouldn't take a chance. See a good doctor. Although, I got mine removed. The hormones made some grow back...
