I'm Maria

I had a misscarriage around 8 weeks.....
I am currently *nervously* 18 weeks pregnant

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

I'm Michelle

After a long road of fertility treatments, we were blessed to become pregnant in March via IVF, only to miscarry that pregnancy. I also had a chemical pregnancy last summer. I am currently 19.5 weeks pregnant after my second IVF attempt. This pregnancy started with twins but we sadly lost one at 7 weeks.

Not a day goes by where I don't think of those little angels.

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hello!

My name is Enza I had a miscarriage & D&C at 10w this past June. It was one of the hardest things I had to go through.

Look forward to chatting with all of you.

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hi. I had a miscarriage at what I thought was 7 weeks, although tests confirmed it was much sooner than that. I was very upset, but in my heart, knew that we would be parents when we were meant to be. We were pregnant 3 weeks later and our son will be here in five short weeks!!

Good luck to you all!!!!

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hi, I'm Lauren. After a year and a half of trying, fertility treatments, and a lot of heartbreak, I finally got pregnant. Then I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks, 3 days. It was one of the most devastating things I have ever been through.
After getting my period, we were able to try again the next cycle, with the same protocol that had worked the previous time. I am now almost 23 weeks pregnant with twins. Having a miscarriage changes you forever, and I know that being pregnant after a loss is a very difficult road. You lost that "innocence" that those who have never experienced loss have.

I am so glad this board was created, I hope that it serves as an (unfortunate) needed support for all the women who have to go through this.

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hi Ladies, I am so glad this board is up for you.

I didn't have a natural miscarriage, but still lost our baby at 20 weeks, and it hurts just the same. Wishing you all the in the world.

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hi, my name is MaryBeth. I had a MC at 5 & 1/2 weeks and although it was early on, it was an awful experience. 2 months later, I was pregnant again and am now 14wks.

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hi Ladies!
I'm Whitney. I had a missed miscarriage and D&C in February and i'm currently 22 weeks pregnant.

I think it's GREAT this board exists and i know that it will be a source of valuable information and support to all those who have unfortunately suffered a pregnancy loss... and also to provide peace of mind and hope that you can and will get pregnant again!

I'm glad to help in any way i can! So many of the women on these boards were able to offer me comfort and advice - i'm more than happy to pay it forward!

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Before I was pregnant with DD, I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks and had to have a D&C. I am currently pregnant with my second now and came on to give my ladies support

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hi there..

We've been trying for about 1.5 years..

I've lost 3 pregnancies

1- ectopic in Jan 2007
2 - chemical - October 2007
3 - at 11 weeks in April 2008 - no heartbeat - baby had Downs Syndrome.

I'm onto 3rd cycle of IUI w/clomid since the loss in April - we'll have it on Friday.

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

I'm so glad this board is here for you girls.

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hi Ladies,
I just wanted to say that I think this board is a great idea. I, too, suffered a miscarriage at 9 weeks last September. I miscarried naturally and AF came 29 days later. After that AF, we were successful in becoming pregnant again, and our DS is 13 months old now. I just wanted to offer some hope for all of you...you WILL get pregnant again, and it WILL be ok. I had to keep reminding myself that through the entire pregnancy, but in my heart of hearts, I knew that my pregnancy was different from the first. I could tell from the very first sonogram. Sending you all tons and tons of

I am so sorry that there are so many of us who have suffered through this devastating experience...

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

I'm Faith and I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. My D&C was 5 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm waiting for AF to start so I can start TTC once again!

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hi everyone

I'm Lisa and I found out that my pregnancy was not viable at 6 weeks and had a D&C at almost 8 weeks (July 11th).
My RE said I had to wait 2 months before trying again which I dont understand b/c I've read how so many people got pregnant right after their m/c. I'm now awaiting my 2nd period since my m/c so I can begin clomid again and hopefully have another IUI soon after. for all of us!!!

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hi Im Jeanna

I became pg in March 07 after my first IVF procedure. At my 8 week ultrasound there was no growth and the heartbeat was gone. I had a d&c.

I became pg again in July 07 with IVF transfer #2. At 7 weeks it was diagnosed as a blighted ovum, and I had another d&c.

Following this I had another retrieval and 2 more transfers which resulted in negative results. I went to a new doc, had another retrieval, and spent lots of money to have my embryos "CGH" tested. Long story short, things didnt work out at that doctor, and none of my CGH normal embryos survived.

I decided to return to my original doc. Starting from scratch, I had my fourth retrieval and fifth transfer this past August. I am currenly 7 weeks and 3 days pg with twins..... but insanely terrified. We want so much to be happy and excited for this pg but sadly, we arent able to be that way yet. But I am hopeful, and being as positive as I can!

Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Hugs to everyone!

I have a 3 yr old DD.

I had a miscarraige at 12 weeks and had a D&C Dec. 26th.

After my D&C I had a lot of complications due to some tissue being left inside me and blod clots.

It took three doctors and lots of meds and about 2 months to recover.

I got pregnant again in May and loong story short, it was ectopic. At 6 weeks my fallopian tube ruptured (the pain made childbirth feel like a vacation!) and the dr. missed it. Three days later when I saw a different dr. I was rushed to the hospital since I had been internally bleeding for those three days. I lost my left fallopian tube.

That was back in june.

We are now on cycle 2 of TTC - but I have to admit I am terrified of being pregnant again! At the same time I am terrified that my DD won't have a sibling.

It's confusing to say the least.
