Pregnancy Info HOME

I can't believe it...14 wks before she saw anything!! I did go on that web site about misdiagnosed miscarraiges and wow! At least you know your not alone and there's hope. I think your smart to wait another week. Especially when your friend was 14 wks! I'm praying for you too!! Big hug, Sara

Wow that is crazy!! but you never know!! I say always follow your gutt. Doctors don't know everything. They have been wrong many of times. Are your numbers still going up???

Well unfortunately I have bad news for me. I had an ultra sound today and saw it's little body but no heartbeat. Just watching the womans face told everything. My stomach just sunk and I sat there trying not to bawl my eyes out in front of this stranger. I am devasted and really thought this one was ok. I am eating to be sceduled for a d&c :( . I am still praying for you Cindy and don't let my news discourage you. Please keep me posted

Oh Sarah....I am so sorry for you, I too have bad news. Late last night I started cramping and bleeding. I have been having consistent pain in my lower back and just waiting. I go to the Dr tomorrow I already know the outcome. My husband still isn't accepting that it's over, he keeps wanting to take me to the ER, I explained that there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. I have been crying on and off all day, he keeps saying he doesn't know what to do, and I know he feels helpless but just letting me cry and hugging me helps but he has a hard time seeing me upset, I am always happy go lucky optimistic person and I think he just isn't sure how to handle it. I still don't think he thinks I am really miscarrying until the Dr actually says it out loud. I can't believe you and I are going thru this at the same time, I had hopes and prayers for both of us. We just have to be strong and look to the future. One day at a time....I wish I could hug you..I know how much you must be hurting, I so feel your pain. I will be praying for peace for both of us!

I am so sorry for both of you. I went through the exact same thing 2 years ago. My poor husband felt so helpless too. We were so hopeful. I am so sorry. (((Hugs))).

Pixbycindy and wishmeluck, i am very sorry to hear that you have lost your little beans!! Seems to be in the air right now. I lost mine at 6.5 weeks two weeks ago, pain is still there. I will hold you both up in prayers and our little ones. I was hanging on to hope for you two!! I don't know about you two, but after talks with my DH we are going to try right away. I am 41. Doctors say you can after one cycle. It is so hard to want to, cause you are afraid for the next time. But I hang on to JuliaB's story that she lost 6 then got her DD!!! ((Hugs to both of you))

Yes Dolly, My husband and I spoke previously about "if" something would happen about trying again, We discussed it with the Doctor at my last appt., He said at my age...going to be 44 next month to try after about 6wks...I am ready to try again, with my tilted uterus the last conception consisted of me with a pillow propping me up and holding my legs over my head for 15 minutes!-but it worked! As scary as it is, I have no children and desperately want them. I will just keep my fears between you ladies i am afraid if I say too much to my husband he will not want to try again, he worries about me so. I have to be strong in front of him and be up to the emotional road ahead. I know things happen for a reason and I have faith in that as much as it hurts its the only thing that gives me comfort.

I am sorry to hear about your little cute ones. I know how you Cindy and Sarah feel during this time since I have been there like you in Jan 2010. It was so tough and I couldn't take it. I have been trying since March '10 since I got my periods back. It's hard and certainly you will be okay after you go through this tough time. I am really sorry and I know how you feel. Tina

Thanks everyone for your caring thoughts. It helps to share with people who have been thru it too... Although I wish none of us had. This is my second miscarraige the last being in dec. I feel such loss, I'm not sure I have any healthy eggs left to produce a viable pregnancy and that makes me so sad. I really thought this one was a good one. I still feel pregant so it hurts that much more. Cindy I am so sorry for you. It really is an emotional mess. I wish you and everyone else " hurting " an easy recovery. We at least deserve that!

I am in the same boat as you Pix, I can't be emotional around my DH either. If I am "ok" he is ok. If I am really upset he gets double upset, for himself and me! He is a very sensitive guy to start with. I have found this forum to be a place of support and "friends" that I can relate to. Most of our friends don't know we are trying for a baby. We didn't want to say anything just in case we can't. So this is the only place I really have to talk about all this. You know no idea how thankful I am that I found the ladies here. I hope and I pray for you two!! Miracles happen, so we need to hang in there. I know you guys are probably already doing this, but be sure to take extra antioxident vitamins like E and grape seed extract and green tea. They help all cells rejuvinate better.

I too have found this forum very helpful. No one knew about my pregnancy but my DH and my sister who hasn't asked once from the beginning how I am, etc. That's been hurtful since we are very close. Discussing things with my husband he doesn't think he can see me go thru this again. I'm not sure if I completely have given up. But as we know it's a decision we both need to make so we will let my body and emotions heal and take it from there. Cindy and hello dolly as you know I have a 2 yr old and conceived at 41 so it is possibly. I guess you just have to be strong and willing to take some downs . I believe it's worth it. Lots of baby dust to you!

By the way I had my D&C today. I've never had one and was surprised at how surgical it was... I don't know why I was surprised seeing what they're doing. Guess I just didn't want to think of it at all!! The procedure itself was easy I guess but the emotional aspect was hard. Things happen for a reason I know and it was better now than later. I do take comfort in that.

I was lucky, I miscarried naturally, so I didn't need one. Hcg went down to 0 pretty quick. So that i was spared. I still find myself looking at pics of how big the baby would have been now. But yes, I know on a mental level that bad genetic alignment is the cause of early miscarriages, but the heart is still sad.

Hey girls....well yesterday I had my Dr. appt yesterday...didn't make it there though had to go to ER the pain got so incredible it went from back pains to severe cramping and I was unable to even stand, got to ER and have never felt so much pain, they examined me after giving me two shots for pain and the pain meds didn't help, they then started removing large clots and large amounts of blood and confirmed I was miscarrying, they then transported me to the university hospital about an hour away by ambulance I felt more comfortable doing that where there are more ob/gyns and specialists and more experience they they offer to me locally. On the way there the poor ambulance guy gave me 5 shots of morphine trying to control my pain, but it didn't even touch it I was having contractions every 2 minutes lasting for about 45 secs, I was completely dialated according to the Dr that had examined me. I got there and the ambulance driver advised them that the morphine did nothing!-and I was in severe pain they a__sured him and I that they would give me something that would work, they gave me largest dose of the strongest they had and believe it or not...no relief, the poor nurse was like WOW I can't believe its not working or at least knocking you out as much pain meds as u have had. I continued to suffer for almost another 1.5hrs while my blessed husband held my hand and actually cleaned me up and a__sisted me with a bedpan, he was a better nurse then the nurses which was amazing to me since he has a low tolerance for blood and for seeing me in pain I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by him, he was amazing. Finally I seen a team of Drs from the Ob/gyn dept and they advised me of options one similar to the d&c but called a rocket procedure where they use suction-we decided on that but before hand they did an u/s which didn't show the sac they then decide to do a pelvic exam where they found the sac was lodged along with clotting which is what was causing my tremendous pain it was like being in labor but it was stuck and could not pa__s, they manually removed as much as they could and felt like that was pretty successful they then gave me pills to take over a 24hr period to help pa__s any additional tissued they feel this will be sufficient since they were able to get the sac out. Almost immediately after they removed the clots and sac the pain eased. I was there til 10pm a 12hr painful journey! So relieved to not be in such horrific pain. So now I have pain meds to back up the cramping and pain that goes with the pills I have to take but I am sure it won't even compare to the horror of yesterday, just mentally and physically spent, thank God for my husband. Now just resting and taking it one day at a time., and trying to look forward. Well...my hubs off running me a hot tub going to relax a bit. I am thankful for you girls and your support it means so much to be able to discuss this stuff with folks that are experiencing it as well and understand. I go back to Dr next week for a followup and take it from there. Thinking of you all and praying for us daily. Big hugs to u Sara I know yesterday was horrible for you but its hopefully a new beginning for us both.

OMG!!! How scary!! But thank goodness it is over and you know what it was. So sorry to hear that happened! The things we ladies go through!! I will keep you in P&T!!! Yes, may it be a new start all clean and ready for a new little bean!! Baby Dust!!

To the wonderful ladies here who have just suffered loss. I just want to you know I am so sorry for your losses. I hope and pray you will all recover soon. What a tragic experience you had PixbyCindy. Your husband sounds like a wonderful person. You are very lucky. I too am 42 and have suffered 5 losses. 3 in on year b4 my 7 month old was born just a week after my 42 birthday. I read these stories for hope..but know to well how age can affect our fertility. But there is hope. My dh is bugging me for one more..not sure if I can do it or not as my lo is still so young. I wish you all the best with your future endeavours ttc. Kristin :)
