Intro post.. I think I belong here now.

To make a long story short, check out my post

Besides that, I'll make a brief introduction.

I had horrible AF issues as a teenager and was diagnosed with PCOS at around 14/15. I started birth control pills and finally went off about 10yrs later when my DH and I decided to start trying for a baby.

I waited 2 months and since I never O'ed or got AF in that time, we decided to take our business straight to an RE. After 3 medicated IUI cycles, I got a BFP.

My DH and I since then considered ourselves fortunate because despite having to go through fertility treatments, we were still able to get pregnant relatively quickly. Well, fast forward to this week, and we found out at just over 16wks that there are very severe complications with the pregnancy and I will be losing my son Chat Icon

Though I don't think this is a typical miscarriage experience, I still feel like this board is probably most appropriate since I can identify with a loss so vividly Chat Icon We will be TTC as soon as I am physically able to jump back in the game.. but for now, I'll be lurking and posting wherever I can fit in my two cents.

I truly do believe even in a time of grief, that our losses will make us stronger! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Intro post.. I think I belong here now.

OH NO!!
My heart seriously goes out to you.

I'm just seeing this post now... and I'm sooo heartbroken for you. My MC was right before the 12th week.. I was at abuot 11 weeks. I had a DNC so I can tell you anything you want to know about my DNC. You are completely out for it... so at least there is that. Though going in for it, was really scary. I bled for over 2.5 weeks straight afterwards. I got AF 4 weeks and 2 days after that. I had SEVERE cramping for a total of 10 days after the DNC (though I was told it would only last for a day or 1.... SO not the case for me).

Afterwards the emotional impact is what gets you. I remember being so sad and crying because I still had to pee often and I recall thinking "OMG soon I'm not even going to have the pregnant peeing urge anymore".... The strangest things just set me off. And still do at times. It's a hard road to travel. No one understands what it's like but those who have been there.

More than the physical... the emotional toll is the really hard part. I'm so terribly sorry to see you here on this board.
I remember you from the TTC board.

If you need to vent or ask me about ANYTHING, please please, feel free to FM me. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I just wanted to post here too and say I am so sorry!!

I know how terrible it is to experience a loss. It is terrible that you have to go through this.

This all prob seems like a bad dream right now. I know myself after two losses, I needed to take some time to just regroup and take sometime for myself.

Just from my own experience, you will become hopeful again!! It will all work out. I just dont understand why some women have these struggles and bumps on the road. What I do know is my losses have changed me as a person... made me stronger, more compassionate, brought family and DH and I closer. This process is tough, but you will GET through it!!! We are all here to help you!!!!

I know you shared this in your post "I truly do believe even in a time of grief, that our losses will make us stronger!"

I PROMISE IT WILL!!!!!

If you need anything, always know I am here to chat.

I am so so sorry that you have to go through this...It's been over 5 months since my miscarriage...It's not an easy thing to deal with...and no matter how well you "heal" over time...you will always have those "bad days". but these ladies are wonderful and so supportive...


I wish you all the best in this difficult "process" and if you need to talk, I'm only an FM away!

I'm just wanted to say how sorry I am over here.

You definitely belong on this board and I am sorry that has to be the case...Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I have no idea why some women have to endure this...it's just not right or fair.

It will take a lot of time to heal and you will have your ups and downs, but the pain does eventually lessen...

you will have your baby, and although you will never forget...like most things in life this becomes more like a nightmare and seems more far away.

I am still in shock that I am over here. It was just a week ago that I was celebrating my pregnancy... posting belly pics... I am just in complete shock over this that a large part of me honestly believes I can still wake up and find out this is just a horrible dream. Excuse me- Nightmare.

...... but as the days leading up to my procedure comes closer.. reality is starting to come crashing down.... and there's just nothing I can do about it. I am completely powerless and I feel like I'm taking one giant nose dive into the blackest of holes. I don't know how I will ever get through this.

Re: Intro post.. I think I belong here now.

Lots of hugs to you and your family, I know I have posted this a billion times, but last March I lost a baby at 19 weeks and the whole experience was terrible, the whole thing was thoroughly unpleasant. However, in March of this year I gave birth to my beautiful Angel baby Imogen and she is my reward for going through such sadness. I promise you that good things will come to you and your family! Finding positivity through this will help you and your family to get through. I am sorry for your loss.

Ugh....I am sooooo sorry! You are being so strong. We have all suffered on this board and I can only tell you having the support of others helps tremendously.
Please hang in there. May God watch over your son.
