Hello ladies! I hope it is ok to join now. I had a MC with D&C at 6 weeks on May 7 of this year and am still waiting another BFP. I am sorry for all of your losses. I think this is an amazing board and I look forward to getting to know everyone better. Congratulations to the ladies with BFP!!!
-
@ctegge0416: So sorry for your loss, but welcome to our group.
The ladies here are amazing! Fingers crossed for your TTC journey and that you get a BFP soon! 
-
Well I had my levels checked today at the doctors office and I managed to sit around the pregnant ladies and not feel sad for myself! I'm gonna take that as a positive step in the right direction!
Hopefully it will get easier and easier each time I go in.
-
@ctegge0416: Welcome! I, too, am so sorry you have found yourself here but the support here is amazing. I wouldn't have been able to get through the toughest times without these ladies. Feel free to hope, gripe, vent, ramble here...all and everything is accepted because, well, that's just how the grieving process works.
-
@HappyBluebird: That is a great step! Isn't it so freeing to be able to get through something that would have broken you down before? Praying and hoping for 0!
-
@ctegge0416: Welcome and so sorry for your loss.
@HappyBluebird: That's definitely a great step!
@simplyfelicity: How have you been?
-
@2PeasinaPod: I'm ok! I am 5 weeks today and just trying to not think too much about the pregnancy. I wish I could just forget until my due date.
-
@ctegge0416: I'm sorry you can identify with us, but am glad you found this thread.
.@HappyBluebird: I still deal with anxiety in the waiting room, so you rock! I hope you get the results soon and that they're 0!
I'm taking a "sick and tired" day. I woke up at 3am with a horrid stomach ache. Not sure if I should blame the progesterone or eating a little late. But I've been needing a break from work, so I took the whole day
-
@simplyfelicity: @2PeasinaPod: @MaryM: Thanks ladies!
@simplyfelicity: It definitely makes me feel stronger! I have no doubt I will still have some bad times but if I can appreciate each small little victory I think it will help overall!
@MaryM: A sick and tired day is needed every now and again! I hope you feel better and can enjoy your day off without feeling sick!
-
@jaguar: Thinking of you! Hope you get some great news with your results today!
-
@simplyfelicity: Holy crap...how did I miss this? I try to read most of the responses when I'm gone for a while, but I CLEARLY missed this! Congratulations and hoping for the best!
@MaryM: Good for you. Hope you start to feel better!
Yesterday was my first day back in the office, and I'm not sure if it was because of doing too much or if it's something worse, but I had a ton of cramping and bleeding last night into today. I have a follow up to get my balloon removed at 1:30 (so excited for that), so I'll ask a ton of questions then. I'm pretty sure I should be close to no bleeding and still have bright red blood. So just a little concerned.
-
@2PeasinaPod: Somehow I missed your long reply to me earlier - I have no idea how. Thank you so much for the info! My doctor said if we have a second m/c, he won't make me wait for a third before investigating further, so that's good. It's just that I am such a nervous wreck - I don't know if I have a feeling that something is not right, or if it's just an intense fear, you know?? Only time will tell, I guess....which sucks! I hope everything is ok with your bleeding and that the balloon comes out quickly!! Wall me your FB info and I will add you to the group!
@ctegge0416: I'm so sorry for your loss.
Hugs and prayers. My mc was in June, and I'm also still waiting for that bfp. That waiting is so hard. Welcome to the group!@HappyBluebird: That's such a great, positive step! I STILL feel sorry for myself at least once a day
Stay strong!@MaryM: Hope you have a great day off and are feeling better!
-
@ValentineMommy: I think you have a great plan, and the fear unfortunately never goes away. After my son, when I had my 3rd miscarriage, I knew something was wrong. Having a second D&C with 8 weeks of bleeding just didn't feel right to me, and my doctor was bushing me off. Had it been my first, I think I would have been far less worried. But given that it was my 3rd out of 4 pregnancies, I wasn't buying the bad luck excuse anymore. So by the time the 4th came around, I was adamant about seeing a specialist.
-
@2PeasinaPod: Fingers crossed for you, hope your follow up appointment goes well and that the bleeding isn't of any concern.
-
Back and the balloon is OUT! Woohoo!
She did a few ultrasounds and did say that she saw a large pocket of blood that was trapped behind the balloon and would likely work it's way out now that it's not in the way any longer. She suspected that the cramping last night was due to my activity of the day and that clot trying to make it's way out as well.
I'm due back in 2 weeks...she said everything looks good so far and as long as I heal appropriately, she'll give me something to induce my period, do one more check and give us the all clear to start TTC! I'm trying not to get my hopes up as I want to be sure everything continues to look ok after I heal, but things are starting to look up!
-
@2PeasinaPod: So glad everything looks good and that you are closer to TTC!
-
I just caught up on the whole thread...sorry for being MIA.
@2PeasinaPod: so glad you're on the other side of the process and I hope all of the bleeding is resolved soon.
@ValentineMommy: i'll wall you my info for the facebook group too.
@jaguar: sending you all kinds of good vibes!As for me, I'm 11dpo (I'm totally guessing). In full disclosure, I tested the night of 9dpo with a cheapie wondfo and got more than a shadow but less than a positive line...if that makes sense. I got excited because I don't have a bad batch of wondfos, and I've had negatives on there when I was indeed not pregnant, so I figured when I tested on 10dpo with FMU I'd have a nice pretty line. It wasn't there. and it wasn't there this morning on 11dpo. Yes, I know I'm not until I'm out, but I feel like if there was a positive on a wondfo it would have registered on a frer by now if it were a legit pregnancy. Anyway, I'm rambling. All this to say, I think we're out this month. I know it was only our first cycle trying since our CP but still...I've been at this now since February so I'm just feeling so much like a failure.
-
@2Peasin.aPod: Thank you!
Glad to hear you feel comfortable again.
@Tidybee: Hugs, lots of hugs, friend. -
Looks like miscarriage #2 in a row for us. And my stupid body has no bloody idea, yet again, that something is wrong.
Beta hasn't gone up much at all in 48 hours. 60 Monday, 86 today. Progesterone dropped too, despite the pessaries. GP says a loss is immiment, yet no bleeding.
I am SO fucking angry. I can't even tell you.
I can't get through to my FS. I have no idea what to do next. Do I stop all progesterone? How long do I wait? I just want to get going with our next stim.
-
@jaguar: oh man
I was so hoping for better news...If MC is eminent, you probably should stop the progesterone (but you might want to confirm just in case). But my doctor thought it might have dragged out the process for me.
My heart is so broken for you...
-
@2PeasinaPod: I'm so glad the balloon is out and you can really start to heal! Fx for your follow up that everything looks perfect!!
@Tidybee: I'm sorry
this months bfn was hard for me as well. Hugs hugs and more hugs!@jaguar: I'm so sorry. There are really no words to express the sadness I feel for you right now. We are all here for you. Let yourself be angry - cause we are all angry right along with you.
-
@2PeasinaPod: @Tidybee: I friend requested both of you.
apparently we have to be actual fb friends for me to add you into the group.
-
@Tidybee: You're not out until AF shows! I'm still hopeful for you!
@simplyfelicity: &@ValentineMommy: Man, can I tell you what a relief it is to not feel like my stomach is in my throat? It's weird how a tiny balloon can push everything up like that and make you feel all around gross...
@jaguar: I have nothing but love for you, Mama. I wish I could fly to Australia (which...I think you're there, but if not, let's fly there together), and give you a giant hug.
-
@2PeasinaPod: I can't even imagine what that balloon would have been like, but I'm so glad for you that it's over!
-
DH just called me to answer questions in a snoring survey that he couldn't answer himself.
It's insane how happy I was to do that!
-
May I join you? Let me start off by saying, I am SO sorry for everyone's losses.
1. What is your story?
I was diagnosed with a blighted ovum on Monday after my second IVF cycle. DH and I have been TTC for 3+ years and have had no success. Our first IVF cycle in June ended with a BFN and no frozen embryos. Our second fresh cycle is the one ending with the blighted ovum, but fortunately we have 7 frozen embryos this time. I am SO hoping that one of them will finally be our take home baby!
I stopped progesterone on Monday and so far, nothing. No cramps, no spotting, just NOTHING. My doctor prescribed Misoprostol for me to take this weekend if nothing happens, but honestly I am terrified to take it. I just want this to be over, but I have read a lot of horror stories about the Misoprostol. I just don't know if I can do it.
This is my second loss, but my first was in 2008 when I was in a previous relationship. We weren't trying to get pregnant, and I miscarried naturally. This is my first experience with it not just happening on its own.
2. How do you feel today?
I am not having a good day today. I think each day that goes by where I am not having any m/c symptoms just sends me into panic.
3. If you have any "next steps" what are they?
I need to decide if I am going to take the medication this weekend or wait it out a little longer. Part of me just wants to call my doctor and ask if we can just have a D&C because this is torture for me. I know that both my RE and her partner would rather not because of the risks involved. I don't know what is best for me at this point.
4. Is there something else in your life you are "investing" in?
I have lots of other things going on in my life, but honestly, TTC and infertility treatments have been dominating it for a long time. I have been starting some projects around the house to help distract myself, but that only helps so much.
-
@Sunshine1810: I'm so sorry you have to join us, but please, feel free to share whatever you need to need to share. These ladies are incredible!
-
@Sunshine1810: ugh. I'm sorry you have to join us. Have you had betas taken yet? my hcg level was still rising at 7 weeks but there was nothing there so my doc chose to do a D&C since a natural miscarriage could have been weeks away.
-
@MaryM: Thank you!
@Tidybee: Thanks! I haven't had them taken yet. I saw my RE's partner on Monday and he said he would start drawing them once I started bleeding. He did agree that a natural miscarriage could be weeks away for me as well, but was really pushing the Misoprostol.
-
@Sunshine1810: I considered taking that for both of mine. I had a friend who used it and said it was just one day of real intense cramps and contractions and then a heavy period. But I ended up being talked into the D&C by my doc and then the next one I did a D&C b/c there was a fetus present and I didn't want to witness that coming out.
-
@Tidybee: I have heard some stories that aren't so bad, and some that are horrific, so I am torn. I just feel like I'm in such a fragile place right now, I don't know how much more I can take.
-
@Sunshine1810: I'm so sorry that you're joining us, but glad that you're here. I unfortunately haven't had any experience with Misoprostol, but hoping that things happen quickly for you to ease the pain. Sending lots of love
-
@2PeasinaPod: Thank you!
It's really nice to have support from people that understand.
-
@Sunshine1810: I'm so sorry you have to be here, but I'm glad you found us since you do. I hope you find the support you need here!
-
@Jess1483: Thank you! I really appreciate the support.
-
@Sunshine1810: I think the hardest part of going through any miscarriage is not having anyone who has been through it to talk to. Let it all out here...we've all been there (and some of us multiple times).
-
@2PeasinaPod: I think you're definitely right. It feels so lonely. My DH is great but he definitely doesn't understand. When I'm upset he just says he wishes he could help but he doesn't know what to do. I feel bad because I know it's hard for him too, but it's just different.
-
@MaryM: Hahaha! I hope the snoring saga is over for you soon! I wish mine was going to be as well!!! lol
@Sunshine1810: I'm so sorry you are going through this, and I sadly welcome you to the board. I also had a blighted ovum, and had never heard about it before experiencing one. Is the misoprostol to be taken orally? I was prescribed it twice AFTER my d&e, because I had retained product that wasn't coming out. For me, it didn't do anything. No cramps or anything. Unfortunately, I continued to bleed for almost 8 weeks until I naturally passed the retained tissue. The medicine never did what it was supposed to. I had chosen the D&E to get it all "over with" because I couldn't mentally handle the weeks of waiting. Since it was incomplete, I ended up with all that waiting and bleeding anyway. I personally feel in this situation, there is no bad choice (well, they are all equally bad...you know what I mean). You have to do what's best for you at the time. My situation was WAY outside the norm.
-
@2PeasinaPod: totally agree. I felt SO alone.
-
@ValentineMommy: Thank you for the welcome. He prescribed it to take vaginally. He said the first dose might not work, and if it doesn't he will have me try one more because moving on to a d&c. I'm sorry to hear your experience was so difficult!
The ladies here are amazing! Fingers crossed for your TTC journey and that you get a BFP soon! 
Hopefully it will get easier and easier each time I go in.
Stay strong!
Glad to hear you feel comfortable again.
this months bfn was hard for me as well. Hugs hugs and more hugs!
