I am feeling much, much better. The bleeding is so much lighter now and I'm not in pain any more. I'm starting to feel like I'm at peace with everything. Definitely very scared to try again right now, but will hopefully feel more ready in a month or so.
Harley, how's the South Beach going? I'm starting tomorrow. I stocked up on veggies at the store today. I'd start today, but I really want to drink some wine tonight! I'm going to exercise tomorrow, too. First time in two weeks. I have just felt so yucky, so I want to feel good again.
HOpe you guys are doing well and are having a wonderful weekend!
Hi blueridge -- glad to hear you are doing better.
I'm doing okay. Bleeding has pretty much stopped with only slight spotting. South Beach is going okay. I didn't stick to Phase I for 2 weeks, only for about 5 days. I just wanted to get through a few days to kick start my body again. I still haven't really had any bad stuff (except alcohol) so I'm doing okay. I actually lost more weight once I incorporated more carbs back into my diet (and I'm sure exercise helped as well). i wish you luck -- the first few days will be tough, but it's really easy after that. I'm here if you need anything.
AFM - f/u appt next Monday so I'm starting to compile my list of questions. And Wanna has hers this week so I'm curious to see her outcome.
Have a great night!

Hi,
I was due nov 2 which is my bday. technically i am still pregnant 12 weeks but on friday we had our screening and they told us we would need to terminate as the baby was very abnormal. they just called me now to say i need to see the genetic person tommorow who they said will tell me the baby will die within the week. i am beside myself with grief. i want to die. i cant stop crying. i love this baby so much.

OMG - Jessie - I am so sorry. I remember you from the November Mommies thread. That is awful. All I can say is I know how you feel. My baby never had a heartbeat, which in some ways I am thankful for. If I had seen the heartbeat I would have loved him/her that much more.
We are here for you if you need anything, feel free to PM me as well.
Blueridge - how is South Beach going?

I cannot even imagine. I was devastated with mine, I know I would be more so if I had seen that. I've had 2 m/c in a row, my doctor thinks both were genetic. That's a bit tough for me to swallow at this point. I go back for a f/u next week. I hope you are able to get some answers you need.

monday I had my very first 10 week ultrasound, was the most exciting day, I saw my little angel up on the screen, then the dr asked me if i had had any bleeding, which i knew wasnt good, he said unfortunately my baby did not have a heartbeat and I needed to get a d&c. I cant tell you how had I cried, I have had PCOS for prob 2yrs+ and this was my first pregnancy, my baby was sooo wanted and I was so excited I have already filled the nursery at 10 weeks ( way too early but i was beyond excited) I feel quite empty and lost now as i had the d& c yesterday morning. Im so thankful i have such wonferul heavenly family friends and hubby helping me thru, and I am going to start trying again for my baby to come back to me as soon as i can.
Anyway thats my story, im sure there are so many poor ladies with the same story and that breaks my heart, I cannot describe how devestated I am, today my mum and I are going to go down to the river and sprinkle some roses in the water and say goodbye to my preciously little one, even if it was only 10 weeks we had together it was the best 10 weeks of my life
I hope everyone can get thru this, ive read along with this wonderful site for a long time, this is my first post but i hope it wont be my last because i will be back to say im pregnant again and so will everyone else
jessi & mrsmighell, I'm so sorry for your losses and so sorry that you have to join us on here. This whole experience is awful and so sad. It helps me to know that there are other ladies going through the same thing at the same time. Please know that we are here for you.
It's been about 12 days since my m/c. I miscarried naturally Easter weekend (the day after sharing the news with my family and being about 4 hours from home). I thought my bleeding had pretty much stopped, but it is still there. Not awful, but always reminding me every time I go to the bathroom. I feel like I'm not going to be ready to start moving on until the bleeding stops completely. We planted a tree on Sunday for our baby angel. I am also really nervous about ttc again. I may wait a cycle or two...I don't know...I keep going back in forth. I want to be pregnant asap, but am scared.
harley--SBD is going okay. I haven't made the plunge to do phase I completely. I have just cut most of the bad stuff, esp. sugar b/w meals. I have such a hard time with phase I breakfasts. I love my oatmeal and I get so sick of eggs! I'm definitely back to exercising again though, and that feels good. How about for you?
Yes - Phase I was extremely difficult. I may have mentioned that I had major sugar withdrawals the first couple of days. The eggs do get old, but I just tried to get creative in how I cooked them, and I had lunch meat and cheese for breakfast at times as well. I only stuck with phase I this time for about 5 days, but it was enough to kick start my body. Honestly, last time I think it came off easier once I started introducing carbs back into my diet. But I did have some candy yesterday (I was having a pity party). Typically I only snack on fruits, veggies or nuts, so I'm trying to be good. And i've cut most of the bad carbs as well. Down 1.5 lbs so far -- I'll take anything I can get!
And started back at CrossFit (my exercise place). I want to die today. I went Monday and the workout was 100 pullups (I have to do cheater ones, I can't do real ones), 100 pushups, 100 situps and 100 squats. Yeah, needless to say I can't straighten my arms and I can't walk straight! Should be interesting to see how I do today!

hi mrsmighell,
this too was my first pregnancy and i think i was naively so happy. i also bought some stuff for the baby and am left now just feeling empty. i know what you mean about the u/s to see it it and be so thrilled and then 1 second later to have your whole world crash down.- its so unfair. i am so sad but also so angry. hopefully we can get through this together and soon be pregnant again with healthy babies.

Jessi - Don't worry about the surgery -- you'll be fine. I had mine 2 weeks ago today. I was really nervous since I'd never had any type of procedure done. I did love the IV drugs -- they were great! But I had virtually zero side effects. I had light spotting for about 2 days, then nothing for 3 days, then heavier bleeding after that. It subsided after 2-3 days and turned into heavy spotting for another few days.
Physically, you'll be fine. Emotionally is a completely different story. I still have good days and bad and this week hasn't been particularly great for me. But, I know I will get through it. I keep telling myself that I only have about 2 weeks left on bcp, then I can get the ball rolling again.
Hang in there -- we're all here for you. Please let us know if you need anything at all.

Blueridge - just wanted to see how you were doing?
Jessi - how are you holding up? Did you have the d&C last week? I hope it was pretty pain free.
Hope you ladies are okay!
AFM - I had my follow up appt today. I'll be doing the RPL testing -- having bloodwork done this week and in 1/5 - 2 weeks I'll have the water u/s (can't think of name) to check my uterus. So, looks like I'll be out next cycle as well unless by some miracle I O on my own!

Hi, Ladies, hope everyone is doing okay. Harley, I'm glad you are getting the RPL testing done...hopefully it will put your mind at ease and/or give you some answers. How is everyone else?
I'm doing okay. Still slightly, slightly spotting but that's about it. I did have my follow up appt. last Friday. Dr. says it was just a genetic mismatch and nothing could have been done to prevent it. I am glad that I got my progesterone tested right when I was pregnant (it was fine) and started supplements anyway right away so that I am not second guessing anything. I feel pretty much at peace with everything now. I still get a little sad once in a while...I had my summer figured out according to how pregnant I would be, and that's hard. I think we may wait one cycle to start trying. I want to be as healthy as possible.
Please know I am thinking of all of you and hope that you are healing, both physically and emotionally.
