Pregnancy Info HOME

Ms. Monet good to hear from you. Thank you for the words of encouragement I really needed to hear something positive. I hope all is well with you and the twins. Sasha I am sorry you aren't pregnant but don't fret things are going to happen for you. A-Miracle I wish you the best in getting pregnant this month. Who would have know trying to get pregnant would be so hard. LOL. I've been feeling down since Sat. due date is approaching (May 22). This is a question to all who have lost a child and is pregnant or delivered how do you do it? What I mean is how do you feeling during your pregnancy knowing you have lost a previous child for most of us your first? I know I am jumping the gun but I am soo scared. I don't know if this makes any sense. God Bless to all who are pregnant and those seeking pregnancy. Joker I hope all is well. Can't wait to hear from you.

Hello Everyone. Well the trip to Dallas was a good one and we really enjoyed ourselves. Just wanted to give you all an update. Well, i had the HSG this morning and it was something that I least expected. My experience with it is, it didnt hurt, it was just crampy and uncomfortable. I know that everyone is different though. It also didnt take that long either for the results, which I really like and they used the oil based dye. The doctor showed me the pictures and the films and there are NO FIBROIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you JESUS!!!!!!! Also, the doctor said that my uterus was "perfect" and very "normal". I saw it on the film and it was pretty. It was somewhat nicely shaped and good to see without the fibroids. I was like, "oh, thats how it supposed to look."lol However, WHATEVER that supposed to look like.lol Just grateful that there was no scar tissue or anything like that showing. Also, one of the nurses was 8 months pregnant and I just thought her belly bump was beautiful. She told me that most of the people that have HSG done usually comes back pregnant. I hope I will make that number go up one more soon!lol Now here comes what I never expected! Doc said that only the left tube is open and i saw the dye spill through it like it was a river, so that one is wide open and fine. The right tube, however was closed because no dye ever went through it--and believe me, he shoved and shoved to no avail. Doc told me this morning that "you know you can get pregnant with just one tube and its wide open." I knew this however, after much reading and success stories, and because my faith is in God and not man. I also watched the pregnancy channel the other day and one lady was told she would never have children and that both her tubes were closed, and she concieved and delivered a healthy beautiful baby! There is always hope in God, as long as you are willing to trust Him. I dont want another surgery so i am going to work my one open tube like mad trying to get pregnant!lol... Anyways, thanks for listening and know that all is well. Put and keep your faith in God, his timing is perfect always. "Nothing is impossible with God, to them that BELIEVE." We must BELIEVE together. Have a wonderful week and Blessings!!!

A-Miracle, I got pregnant with just one open tube. So can you! Keep up the positive att_tude girl! It will get you everywhere and get you pregnant! :) KM Williams, I think it wil always be hard - having lost our babies and all - even when we are pregnant. Take this time to grieve. I will be thinking of you on May 22nd. Sasha~

Thanks Sasha777. That means so much to me. I am trying to stay as encouraged as I can. There are so many of my friends who have their bellys full of babies or already have them and I just want to be in the number with a healthy pregnancy as well. Whats so amazing is one of my friends will have c-section in August and she had a myo few years back and fibroids came back, less in number though. there are approximately 13 now and she is successfully carrying the 1 baby plus the fibroids. I know that all things are possible. I was told that the doctor will remove her 13 fibroids during the c-section if all goes well. So this will be her second myo surgery in addition to the c-section delivery. We will have her baby shower in july and I am hoping that I can have a bun in the oven then as well. Hope all is well with everyone. Thanks again sasha777. I needed to hear that!!!! :)

A-Miracle, I got pregnant with one tube open immediately after the HSG last year with my son. I was pregnant the very next month. I will ask my dr to perform another one after my 3 to 4 month healing period after my ab myo if he doesn't suggest it himself. One of my tubes was completely blocked and the other was clogged and the HSG unclogged the one. The dr. told me that the fibroids may be blocking the other one so he said that after the surgery I may actually have 2 open tubes. Either way... I'm ready to be pregnant again. I made the mistake of taking a leadership cla__s this week which has turned out to be a huge mistake. My mind just isn't there. For me it's really hard to focus on career related stuff when all I really want is to be a mommy. I'm having a really difficult time trying to figure out where my career fits into all of this. For me... after losing my child nothing else really matters. But then again although my childs life has ended... mine still goes on so I'm trying to continue to go with the flow of things but I'm finding that maybe I need to step back and slow down. It's just hard. I've always been really big on my education and working hard to move up in my career and looking up to managers and directors to be mentors to me. Then this happens and none of that matters to me anymore... it definitely doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. But, on the other hand I'm the main bread winner in our family and... I don't want this desperation and sadness to consume me. I'm still trying to figure out what it is that I'm supposed to learn from the experience of losing my son. I actually took this last job and a paycut because of it's family friendly environment. I purposefully took this job with the idea that I would start my family at this job. Once taking the paycut to get the job and starting my family I wanted to continue to grow with the company and work my way back up to get back some of the financial stability that we lost when I took the job. So, I'm going through the motions to try to continue to grow with the company but my mind just won't go there. I can tell that people in the cla__s see me as the quiet one and not much of a team player. They keep alluding to those of us (just me) who aren't speaking up and not participating and how we're missing out on this great opportunity. They have no idea that I buried my child less than 3 months ago. I'm really trying to take steps to move on but it's hard and it hurts really bad somedays. I really signed up for this cla__s because my male boss was nagging me to network more. I'm praying that I can last through til the end of the week but it's taken everything for me to sit through it and try to focus on being a leader when I couldn't even keep protect my own child from harm. I'm petrified that I'm going to break down in front of these people and make an idiot of myself....

Hi all. I want to thank you for all your posts. They have been most helpful. First a little about my story and then my questions. I have two fibroids. The first was almost 8 cm before I got pregnant and is now 13 cm at 14w. It’s in the lining. The second was just discovered. It’s 2.7 cm. I’m in terrible pain. I was in the hospital at the beginning of the week. We’ve chosen to try to manage the pain at home for now. There was so much going on in the hospital that I chose not to ask too many questions about life after the pregnancy and to stick to this pregnancy. I would like to be armed with as much information as possible when I see my OB next time. He does not seem to think my fibroids will shrink after the pregnancy and said we will eventually have to discuss what to do. I cannot take another pregnancy with the fibroids and the pain. We’re not sure if we want a second child or not. Can anyone recommend websites with information on my options and also add any opinions or advice based on personal experience about my options after this pregnancy? Thanks!

FinallyPreggers, please take the pain seriously!! Fibroid pain can lead to contractions, as I and many women on this board can attest. If anything, try to find a high-risk OB (perinatologist), who knows about fibroids. This is no time to stay loyal to your OB. Trust me, I learned the hard way. I stayed with an OB who just prescribed Tylenol 3 for me, and my pain lead to contractions at 16 weeks. And you know that didn't end well for me. So PLEASE, find a high risk OB who is not afraid to give you the heavy drugs. You won't be on them for long enough to damage the baby. That's the best advice I can give you.

Ok. I got a question. Sasha777 and KB or anyone who knows about the one tube and pregnancy. How soon did you know that you were pregnant after trying??? Sometimes, working with one tube, I feel like the odds are against me but I am very hopeful and staying as positive as I can?? Did you experience any symptons or just missed your next month period or what?? Thanks

Hi Ladies, I haven't been on the website for a couple of months due to getting our house ready to sell, moving things into our new house, going on vacation. Just been extremely busy. Best news ever happened to us last month, found out we are pregnant! I'm 1 month and can't express how freak out I have been. After miscarrying and feeling like it would never happen, now that it happened, I'm still trying to believe it. Sasha, how are you? Sorry to hear that you haven't gotten pregnant yet. I was told back in March that I also only had one tube and felt like that was the end. My doctor told me to stop worrying that was really hurting my body, so in April, we didn't even talk about getting pregnant, nothing, we moved on. I hear people say that constantly, not to think about it, and it use to annoy the heck out of me, but thats what I did last month and it happened. Unbelievable! Congrats to the other mommy to be! You guys all on this website has been an inspiration! A-Miracle, I actually felt a little cramping right before finding out I was pregnant. It lasted for a day, than I missed my period. I also felt dizzy right before I found out. Not to mention the tender swore b___st. I usually have swore b___sts a day before my period. Only thing is my period never started and my b___st stayed tender. They are still tender with my veins popping out everywhere. My doctor said this shld go away after 2 months. I can tolerate it knowing that its finally happened!

Also, fibroid free! I'm praying they do not come back! Really praying! Sasha, you are correct about having one tube, you can get pregnant, I can't believe this happened to me! I took like 4 test just to make sure they weren't wrong when I first found out.

KAT123 - Congratulations!!!!!!! Do you remember your dream about the healthy baby - this is it for you. I am so excited.

A-Miracle~ I found out I was pregnant after two months of trying. The symptoms I experienced were frequent urination and sore and enlarged b___sts in weeks 5 -6. I found out I was expecting in week 6. Again, you CAN get pregnant with one tube!!! Keep the faith! :) Sasha~

Kat-123~ A BIF FAT CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ON YOUR PREGNANCY!!!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome news for you and your hubby!!!! Please give me more info! The last time we spoke you were doing fertility drugs. Did you do IVF or did jit happen naturally? After trying for 4 unsuccessful months, we went to a fertility specialist and did clomid and IUI. It was unsuccessful. In two days, I will have my first IVF cycle! I will have my egg retrieval! I have been on lupron and follistim and will take ovidrel this evening. I am so excited!!! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers! Sasha~

Sasha - I am sorry to hear your IUI did not work. Congrats on moving to IVF. There is a great IVF thread on the Problems getting pregnant board. Although I never post there I keep up with all of those gals. DH and I are getting ready to do an IUI with clomid this cycle. I am on cd3 and counting. Please keep us posted on the IVF process.

Kat 123 I am so happy for you. I hope this pregnancy goes smoothly. Damajuana, how are you and the baby doing? To all those trying this month God Bless I am wishing a BFP to all. Joker where are you? Hope all is well. : ) . KB how are doing? When is your sugery scheduled again? If I am not mistaken it is this month.

Hi KM Williams! I was just thinking about you and wondering how you are recovering. How long were you in the hospital after the surgery? How do you feel now? Are you back at work? Did your dr give you any indication of how long you should wait to ttc after the surgery? Lots of questions from me!!! My surgery is scheduled for 3 weeks from today. I'm nervous and excited about the surgery. I'm just very eager to recover and move on from this stage of my life. I was very emotional today. For some reason I was overwhelmed with anxiety about waking up from the surgery and not having a uterus anymore. I guess it's normal to worry but I cried for a while today just thinking about it. The more I told myself to stop thinking negatively the more I couldn't get the thought out of my head! I feel like once I wake up from the surgery and hear that my fibroids are gone and everything turned out ok then I can finally take a breath and relax and just move forward. Do you feel differently now after the surgery like a weight has been lifted?
