Pregnancy Info HOME

Amy, FANTASTIC news for you... I am sure everything will be fine this time. There are lots of us who arent pregnant still - I am having a hard time of it right now because I know af is due and every twinge and pain is a___lysed...it is sooo difficult isnt it ? Hense the reason I am posting for the second time in 24 hours !!! Belle, how are you doing ? You trying again because I am calculating that af is over again for another month ?? Baby dust to all luv Clare xx

Hi, I m/c on june 5th 05 at 6.5 weeks naturally, I ovulated on the 26th june, and for the first time in my life I have had pmt with a vengence plus ovulation cramps. I have been charting my bbt, cm, cervix and saliva. My bbt is up and I am now 6dpo, last night I threw up after i opened our take away, I gave my son his egg n bacon burger and the smell sent me running to the loo. that is not normal for me. so I have my fingers crossed. when I got pg last time before I m/c I had pg signs from 5/6 dpo and it looks like it is happening again. as long as I stay pg I don't care about the symptoms. baby dust and super glue to all. good luck every one.

hey there, been a long time since i was on this thread. I suffered my 2nd m/c on June 8 at 8.5 weeks after seeing the heartbeat at 6.5 weeks. My first m/c was in March this year too at 6.5 weeks which we had seen the heartbeat with that one too. I didnt have an af in between and I am wondering if that had anything to do with the 2nd loss. I had D&C's with both, and fell pg 3 weeks after my first D&C. I had blood work done to test my thyroid and check for autoimmune disorders and they came back normal so I am wondering if anyone else out there has suffered 2 m/c's and been tested for the cause and what tests you have had? sorry to everyone for their losses, I knwo the pain and know that we will all be blessed with healthy beautiful children when timing is right!

Staci, I have had 3 miscarriages and a medical termination at 20 weeks. I have just recently had blood tests to test for chromosomes (Both myself and dh) and ' Sticky blood syndrome' which some women get when pregnant, this is the one that some women take aspririn for. I have been advised to take aspirin if I get a positive hpt. The third test is to make sure I am not pre menopausal and this is done on day 2 of af...Though my bleeding has been so erratic following m/c on 16th April that I havent had that one yet ! I had a m/c on 28/12/04 so my pregnancies were as close together as yours and I lost them both too...It has been 10 weeks since my last m/c and I am waiting on af now...baby dust to all Clare xx

Staci I am so sorry about your losses! Our stories are somewhat parallel in time. I just had my second m/c on the 9th of June, the first being March 15 (actually before as I thought I was 12 weeks when actually the baby died at 8). Anyway, I have had a lot of questions with this second one as I have done what the doctors told me, wait for one normal af and then start trying. I did that and got pregnant right after (that was Junes). I asked my doctor about getting pregnant right away and waiting six or so months, she said there are really no studies conducted to compare, but they do say that waiting at least one af is better. I am beginning to not have so much faith in the doctor’s knowledge as I have heard so many things from so many people. I asked about testing and she said that two miscarriages are not really looked upon as abnormal. They do not really do testing until you have had three. Not much comfort I know. Having one I could believe it was random, but having two makes me feel more as though it is something else. The first m/c was chromosomal, that much I know because they did tests after the d&c. The second one was a natural m/c and no tests could be run so I have no idea. I know that this is of no help to you once so ever, but just know that there are lots of people out there that share your questions, concerns, and worries. Big hugs and luck to you. Keep on getting support from us here, I know it has helped me immensely.

clare and tracy-thank you so much for your kind words...I am praying for you both as well. I am so sorry for your losses, it is not easy to deal with, the emotional pain is hard to heal. Yes, the wanting answers is so difficult to find, why wait until you've had 3 m/c's-what is that for-why make a woman suffer if there is possible something that can be done to prevent another one is how I feel. Clare-did they find thie "sticky blood syndrome" from testing you and dh's chromosones? what can be done for it, just the aspirin? are you seeing a specialist? Tracy, yes, we are so very parallel in our stories and timing. Were you able to see heartbeats with your previous pg's? My first in march I was 6.5 weeks when I m/c'd and we saw the heartbeat at 6w3d but I was spotting for 10 days before I m/c's. The second time I was 8.5 weeks when it happened, I was also taking prometrium orally for precaution, I dont believe my levels were ever tested. We saw the heartbeat at 6.5 weeks and were just going in for a f/u u/s and at 8.5 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat so I had another D&C done two days later. Now I WANT answers, or at least be doing all I can to find out if there is anything causing this. I have been told too that sometimes it can just be "bad luck"-I am really starting to hate that statement. thinking of you all...

Staci, I have had the answer to the chromosome blood test and that was thankfully normal...I am still waiting for the 'sticky blood' one so that may be normal too but the la__s from the hospital said if there was a problem at all the problem usually lies in the sticky blood department because it can cause clots which block the placenta hense the m/c. She said that if I got a positive hpt then I should start taking the aspirin as it thins the blood - it is a 75mg dose. If the results come back ok then I will have done no harm...I am very weak this month because I have done a second hpt convinced I may be pregnant...stupid woman eh? You know when you know its negative but you can see a shadow of a line??? Yes that was me this morning, been feeling very depressed all day and af is late late late...pants...what is going on !!!

Amy from Texas - Congrats! I am new to this forum and have read through months of responses and followed your story. So happy for you! I had a D&C May 25th, was 16 weeks, very devastated! This forum has given me so much hope and it's nice to know so many others understand how I feel, this is the first time I have reached out. I was looking online to find when I should expect my next af following D&C, has been 5 weeks but I guess that is to be expected. Still crying with so many of you, happy and hopeful for so many others. I will follow your stories and post any news that may help you all, smooches! Anyone from the Boston area?

congrats amy, i got cramping and thought i was getting my period, but just spotted its 5 wks since d&c, i wonder when i'll get a normal af??

Marce - i am 5 weeks since D&C and wondering the same. Let me know what happens :)

Girls, seriously bad day ! Found out my sister in law to be is pregnant with her second and her first is not quite 9 months old... Just seems like everyone in the world is prego except for me - I have had the lightest spotting ever today and am late for af. Hopefully it will start up with a vengeance tomorrow and all this will be over ! I am happy for my sister in law but so sad for us... cried for an hour ! Clare xx

Marce & Roxanne, Hi, I have been reading through the different threads. Your stories are somewhat similar to mine, except I had a natural m/c on May 28. I believe I o'ed after two weeks. My DH and I took advantage of this to ttc. I have had some pregnancy symptoms(sore bbs, cramping, pink cmn no AF yet). I have also taken 3 hpt's in the last 2 weeks and they were a very faint positve. This morning I had stronger cramps, but I only spotted (only when I wiped). I did another hpt and it was negative. Have you ladies taken hpt's? I am very confused. Two days ago I felt slight pain on my lower abdomen (right side), so now I am worried about ectopic pregnancy. I made an appt with my obgyn, I can use some medical answers. Good luck to you both.

an update: I saw the dr today. still no af. will get the blood results back on tues. my dr seemed very surprised when the urine test was positive. he wants to make sure i am definitely pregnant and not having complications from the mc. the waiting is torture. my life is on hold. i have to say though - i feel very pregnant. more symptoms than last time. still in shock that this could happen so fast without af in between. best wishes to you all. i'm still lingering and reading, thinking good thoughts for you each.

Hi Clare, Just wanted you to know that I'm going through the same thing, except nobody in my family is to excited about my soon to be aunt, being pregnant! I just had a miscarriage on may 7, 2005 and my real aunt has been trying for about 1 1/2 years now, this girl is rubbing it in our faces, she even had the nerve to say the due date was dec. 8, knowing that mine should have been dec. 9. She's is one of the worst liars....so on, etc. I'm sorry, I try not to get started on her, but I get so angry! They are due to get married this next saturday!! So anyway, I know how you feel, me and my other aunt talk to eachother forever on the phone...it feels so good to have her to vent to sometimes, she understands!

Jodi, someone in the same boat...I wish that you werent, it hurts so much. af started really heavily today so at least im not driving myself half mad wondering if I may be pregnant. I am really happy for my sister in law, its very soon after her first born and I can say that I would not have wanted to be in her position then because my little boy is a bit of a handful ! At the same time, I just really wanted him to have a brother or sister...Not sre if you read my other posts but I have tested positive for pregnancy 5 times and only have my son, losing the other babies at different stages. My sister in law is mad that I am not prego too and really is on my side which helps a bit. My good friend is also pregnant and we were 4 weeks apart in our due dates...her little girl being a month older than my son. hers was not planned and she is 17 weeks now....I AM SURROUNDED ! Know how you feel-much support from me to you...keep posting. It is 11 weeks since my last m/c. I was thinking of quitting posting on this site because I felt I was becoming obsessed - that culminating in the way I was feeling yesterday but Jodi, you have given me a reason to continue...THANK U - hugs and baby dust to all Clare xx (GB)

Clare-It has been 8 weeks since my m/c. Just yesterday all of the bleeding/spotting has finally stopped! I'm so happy about that. I don't have any kids right now, but still wish I still had one on the way, but everything happens for a reason. As angry as I feel like I could be about the situation, i think i do a very good job about keeping my cool. I do know what you mean about being surrounded. There are pregnant women everywhere and I feel so jealous that one of them isn't me, but hey, we'll get our turn sometime again, in hopes that we don't have to go through this again. So anyway Good luck to you and May God bless you soon with a new beautiful baby. xxxooo. I'll keep you posted and you do the same. Maybe soon we will both/all be on our way through a new journey( if you now what I mean.)
