Here's my about me: My husband and I have been married for almost 5 wonderful years. After finishing college we decided that the time was right to start a family. In Aug 2008 our journay began, we NEVER expected anything devistating to happen. In April 2009 we became pregnant with our first, Baby H. A few short days after, Easter to be exact, we had a miscarriage. Our world was completely turned upside down. Tragedy had struck home. Our hearts were broken. After 3 months we started again. I was bound and determined that it would happen for us again. In November 2009 we became pregnant again, unknowling. I thought AF had arrived. A while later, we moved into a new house. We were going to do some painting. I thought it would be best to test just in case. Well lo and behold a bfp. This pregnancy made it all the way up to the day of our appoitment. I woke from slumber to get ready for our first OB appoitment. Only to discover I was covered in blood (tmi). We rushed to the er where they said that it was indeed another miscarriage. Our ob got us into his office right away. (This was our first ever meeting.) He says that the AF, but not AF was acutally a miscarriage. The bomb dropped. We lost TWO babies!! Our beloved munchkins. Dr. put me on a high protien low carb, low cal diet. Had a d&c. We were given the go ahead to start TTC again after 3 months. In April 2010, the day of my husbands birth, we tested and got another bfp, our sweet Baby J. This pregnancy was going fine. We made it to our first appt. (6wks) We saw the heartbeat!! Our second appt was tragic. Our baby had no heartbeat. Had a second d&c. Tested the lovely baby. Found out there were no chromosomal abnormalities. Had many rounds of blood work. Everything seemed fine. Tested my progesterone. This was the cause of all this heartache. Dr proscribed prometrium at the end of each cycle. Were able to start TTC again in 3 months. We started Clomid. On our 3rd round we became pregnant again. Progesterone level was low from the start. This baby, Sweet Pea, only lived with us for a week before he/she went to heaven. We had a natural mc. We decided to seek the help of an RE and continue with the clomid until we were able to get an appt. Currently I am on my 5th round of clomid 100mg. Cd14. U/S is tomorrow. I've been feeling blah.

Hi Stacy- I am sorry for your losses. Please add me to this board, too. We have been TTC actively since Feb. 2010, I have had 3 miscarriages, the cause is still unknown, but my Doc is leaning towards APS (clotting disorder), action plan?...right now we are in limbo, but I am taking baby aspirin and 4mg of Folic Acid daily in the meantime, Success...hopefully soon? :) If you are feeling brave and have an hour or two to kill, you can go to an earlier post of mine for the full story on me. But to sum it up I have had 3 miscarriages. The first was a surprise in June/July 2009 and we never even made it in the to OB/GYN. As a result, however, we decided we wanted to start actively trying. I had two subsequent miscarriages in April and August of 2010. Because the first miscarriage was never documented in my chart our insurance will not cover the recurrent miscarriage testing, which is why we are in limbo. I have been tracking ovulation and I will be testing on Feb. 4th. But, honestly I am not holding out much hope.

Stacy, you have been so brave and strong through everything. I know your whole story. Know that I love you and hope it happens for you soon. You have been through so much heartache. I don't think I knew about the last pregnancy, sweet pea. Im so sorry.

manders ~ Thanks. Sorry that you have had to experience all of this too. It's such a horrid thing to have to experience. We had loads of rounds of blood work, everything was normal. I hope that its nothing serious too. I know that when we were going through the testing I was just hoping that something would be wrong so we could have an answer to fix. When everything came back normal it was devistating, but a huge relief. I know that doesnt seem to make any sense, but it did at the time. Finding out I just had a progesterone disorder really was a releif. Thats one of the easiest things to work on, but obvs we havent really had success. I hope it happens for you soon. Darlene ~ Thanks dear. It's been an emotional roller coaster. I honestly cannot believe how much this has changed me and how strong I've been able to be. I guess it's what I have to do. Survive, or lose myself.

Oh no, you make perfect sense to me, I know exactly what you mean about hoping something is wrong. All the tests they have been able to do so far have all come back normal. I think that is much worse than having something wrong. At least then we'd have some answers and possibly a solution. Even my progesterone levels were good for the last two miscarriages. The only thing they can say is that there are the clots in the placenta. That is why I am on the Baby Aspirin. My doc said it certainly won't hurt me and may help. We will see, I guess. In the meantime I really feel like a shell of myself. I have not been motivated to do much of anything. My poor husband, I don't think he knows what to do with me anymore. When I am not moping around I am charting ovulation, reading everything I can (and education him) and generally driving him nuts! :) I have read so many different articles, I have more questions than when all of this started. I am sorry that there is a need for a board like this, but I am glad that it is here. Thanks. I hope everything works out really soon for you and your hubby. I have been told that 2011 is going to be a lucky year. Maybe.

Hello Ladies!! My name is Gina. My DH and I have been TTC #2 since September 2010. I had a chemical pregnancy before having my DD and I just had a miscarriage in December 2010. I was six and a half weeks pregnant when I miscarried, but we do not know the cause. We are TTC again and I am in the TWW (2dpo) and have a good feeling this time. I am going to wait and test if I miss AF (Feb.9), trying not to stress and take it easy this time. I am sorry for all of your losses and am praying for all of our sticky beans soon. I have a feeling that 2011 will be a great year for all of us!! 
  Gina & Eddy (08/06/06) = Olivia Arlene (12/29/09), Lily Ann (10/6/11) and our Angel Baby (12/04/10).

Manders ~ Oh I know how physically and emotionally draining this can be. It's the worst thing in the world. My husband and I break down and cry almost every week because of this stinkin hostile uterus of mine. WEll actually ovaris, but still. It's just natural for us to be a little crazy after all that has gone on. It really changes you. I'm not as happy, fulfilled as i once was, but it will come back. Just have to keep pushing on until it does. I bought a book called Baby Hunger. It talks about how to get through miscarriage though a spiritual level. It has helped. Might be something that you would look into. Gina and Amanda ~ Welcome to the board. Although, I'm sad that you have to be here. I wouldnt want this for anyone! I hope that you find some peace and comfort through our conversations and whatever else comes your way. Please know that we are all here for you! A bit of good news! Yesterday was my CD14 ultrasound (since I'm on clomid I have to go in to be checked out) I was told that this was the BEST ultrasound I've ever had. I had so many follies on both sides that looked fantastic. I also was told that it looked like I ovulated really well. That news just brightened my day!! I go in on the 3rd to have my progesterone drawn. I hope that my number is high! Hope you ladies are doing well!!

Hi ladies, welcome to the group. It is a little strange to have to welcome you to a group like this, but I am glad that we have a place to go to vent get advice or what ever. Plus we can all celebrate together when we get our BFPs! I have heard that 2011 is going to be lucky. We will see. Stacy- Thanks for the book suggestion. I am working the weekend shift this weekend, but I will go to the bookstore next weekend. I am so happy that you got some good news. Maybe you will be the first BFP of the group! ;) Amanda- I know what you mean about surprising the hubby. A BFP would be an awesome b-day gift. My husband's b-day is Feb 13 and I would love to surprise him with one! GIna- Not knowing is the worst. I wish we knew what was wrong so we could fix it. But so far all tests are normal. Baby dust to us all, hopefully we will all get lucky and join the Oct 2011 Pregnant Moms together! :D
