Hi Everyone- Im new to hellobee. My pregnancy journey has been a long one. Had a previous miscarriage last year and after several rounds of fertility treatment, I am now pregnant. Feeling very anxious and looking for some hopeful stories. My symptoms are minimal but am just hoping that is because it is very early on.
-
My first pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage (<6 weeks) and if you can believe it, I had more nausea, breast sensitivity, hot flashes etc in those two weeks than I have had with my next two viable pregnancies. Symptoms are so variable from pregnancy to pregnancy. With my current one, I wouldn't have even known I was pregnant if I hadn't been paying attention. Zero symptoms until the kicks and heartburn.

I had two miscarriages and then two rounds of clomid (once with IUI, the other with TI). I'm pregnant now, and so far, all is well. Im only 10 weeks so I'm not out of the woods yet but everything has been on target so far (betas, and two ultrasounds)! Congrats and best wishes for a successful pregnancy.

@Ms Sunshine: Welcome! I'm sorry you have had a rough journey, but here's hoping for a happy and healthy 9 months! You might want to check out http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-after-a-loss, as there are many of us in the same position.

Hi and welcome! I'm so sorry about your loss, but congratulations on your pregnancy! I lost a pregnancy after trying for almost a year, and when I conceived again a few months later I was a nervous wreck. I kept expecting something to go wrong! I have a wonderfully healthy son now!
How far along are you? I didn't have any real symptoms settle in until 8wks last time, and a bit earlier this time (I'm almost 12wks).
We actually have a board here just dedicated to pregnancy after a loss, you should definitely check it out!
-
Welcome and congrats on your pregnancy! Try not to stress too hard about symptoms or lack of them (impossible, I know!). I've had one miscarriage and one successful pregnancy and my symptoms were far more obvious for the pregnancy that ended in m/c so you really just have to remember that every pregnancy is different and a fresh start. Best wishes for the months ahead!
-
Thanks everyone. Trying not to stress, but just hard because I have been told for years I wouldn't get pregnant on my own. My egg quality is not the best but I guess its out of my hands now.
-
Oh @LOVEHONEYBEE I am only 5 weeks. Dr doesn't want me coming in for betas until next week.
-
Welcome and congrats! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Welcome! I am currently 30weeks pregnant after a missed m/c and then a blighted ovum after IVF (we tried on our own for 2years). Infertility and loss are so hard...and the first trimester is nerve-wracking, especially when you don't have many symptoms (I don't). Wishing you all the best for your pregnancy!
Feel free to reach out anytime!

Welcome and congrats! I'm on my fourth pregnancy (31 weeks now), 2 m/c's, late loss (it's complicated, but it was viable), and this one looks 100% healthy. And my symptoms every time were about the same, which is to say I had basically none. I've never had any significant nausea or anything, and at 5 weeks I had nothing but cramps that felt like AF was on her way. So I'm with those who say try not to worry! MUCH easier said than done, but fingers crossed for you!

Hi and welcome! There are so many of us in similar positions!
I'm 34 weeks pregnant, after 3 mc's in the last 3 years. In my first 3 pregnancies (mc's) the only symptoms I had were fatigue and some soreness in my breasts. I lost them all between 7 and 8 weeks.
When I became pregnant this 4th time, I was immediately put on injectable blood thinners, aspirin and progesterone daily. Even though none of my tests came back with a concrete diagnosis, I personally think I have some un-diagnosed blood clotting issues, because the meds seemed to do the trick! (Knock on wood.) I just stopped the injections on Monday, and will continue with the aspirin for 2 more weeks.
For this pregnancy, I started feeling sick around 6-7 weeks, and had more classic pregnancy symptoms.
Was there a medical reason that you know of for your loss? I'm sorry you had to go through that
But congrats on your current pregnancy, and chances are that this will be the one for you!

@Ms Sunshine: Firstly, LOVE your username! Secondly, I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy, and miscarriages are very common. My mother in law had several, and in her words of comfort to me, usually they are just a pregnancy that had a fatal flaw, and it's your body's natural way of making sure your babies are healthy and happy when born! I am nervous going forward with TTC as well, but MIL had about 6 miscarriages but ended up having 3 healthy boys.
Don't worry about it, stress isn't good for anyone, including your baby. -
@theswisswifestyle congrats on your pregnancy! No diagnosis for me, but I'm pretty sure it's due to my egg quality. I have an almost 3 year old from one round of ivf. This time around I've had 3 failed attempts (unable to get any embryos). I've also been banking so have done an additional 3 rounds but don't know the outcome yet. Very nervous because I've always been told that I can't get pregnant and here I am once gain. Last year's miscarriage was also natural.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! When I was pregnant after a miscarriage I just tried to be cautiously optimistic. I was a little less excited at first because I had been disappointed before but eventually my joy took over.
-
Congrats and welcome! Like the other ladies, I've also had a miscarriage and I'm now pregnant (15 weeks on Friday). The nerves are there and it's hard to get past them, but I try to take one day at a time. That has helped to get me to this point. I don't think it will ever 100% go away but it gets a little better each week.
I second some of the other ladies suggestion to post on the Pregnant after Loss thread we have going. Lots of great ladies to support each other!

Beta came back at 16,000. Still very very cautious but luckily dr is letting me come in for an ultrasound tomorrow. I know its early, so I'm going to try not to get upset if we don't see a heartbeat.

@Ms Sunshine: We are TTC after my miscarriage back in Dec. I know how you feel with the anxiousness. I am terrified to get pregnant and then lose it like I did the first. I just try to keep positive and not worry. I try to keep a "que sera sera" mindset. Whatever will be will be, and we need to enjoy our happy times while we have them!!
-
I'd like to join in! I am 16 weeks and trying not to think about my miscarriages, but its hard.
I lost one at 10 weeks and had one chemical. Every week I am more optimistic, but still scared.
Good luck to everyone!
Feel free to reach out anytime!
But congrats on your current pregnancy, and chances are that this will be the one for you!
