That is what my acupuncturist says. i got the acupuncture, acupressure and the cupping massage...wow do those cups leave bruises, but they feel so good!

I did the antagonist protocol...the meds are much easier to manage!

Hi Everyone I would also like to join this thread I just lost my baby boy 2 weeks ago I was 18 weeks and lost him due to incompetent cervix . This was my first prenancy we have been TTC for 2+ years but have been together for over 8 years and never tried to prevent getting pregnant.Its just so frustrating.Today I go back to work and am dreading it but feel its better for me than sitting home.I was wondering if anyone feels guilty I know the Drs and everyone say its not my fault and nothing I did caused this but I feel a tremendous amount of guilt b/c it was my body that failed him.He was perfectly healthy.I want to try again but am so nervous that I wont get pregnant again and if I do will be super nervous of losing him/her.My Dr said they would do a cerclage at 12 or 13 weeks and then bedrest for remainder of pregnancy.Well thanks for reading

Wannabmom, WELCOME! The first two weeks after the loss are the hardest ones. I hope going back to work helps you to go day by day. Take some time with your time to have fun and heal.

Erin, wow! I am glad we are both being treated for the same diagnosis by the accupunturists.

Today I will just relax..... I have a lunch with my in-laws and later a dinner with my Psychology classmates.

Hugs and kisses!

Friends!

Claudia and Erin, I don't log on here much anymore, I find that it's been easier for me to stay away, not sure exactly why now that things are going good (knock on wood), but it just is. Especially on this side of the forum (Pregnancy Loss). It still holds a lot of fear for me.
I miss you both and want to keep in touch with you.
So I was wondering if both of you kept a blog, or had e-mails that you wouldn't mind sharing. I'm finally thinking of posting about our journey, but wanted to wait to make sure that we were further along. After 3 MC's I'm still in big time denial!

Please PM me you two w/info if you want to keep in touch.

Hugs to you both!
Dre

Hi friends,

I am officially waiting for AF to show up and I must say I woke up feeling extremely anxious/sad/upset with lots of bad thoughts. I am working hard debating them but for a moment I thought that I should pass this time. But, of course, my bio clock is ticking harder and louder.

Sorry, just needed a little vent...

I hope you are all doing fine.

Kisses!

Wannabmom1979, I really appreciate your kind words. Giving yourself some time to heal and relax is an excellent idea. The sadness will ease everyday a little bit.

Erin, how are you?

AF is starting to show up and I will see my RE later today for an u/s and b/w. I will update later.

Kisses!

Unhappy Great Thread

I had a D&C 31/2 weeks ago and I am still dealing. I act fine to everyone else, but deep down I don't know how I feel. All I want is to be pregnant again. It has become an obsession. My doctor said to wait 2 cycles but I don't want to. At the same time next time I get pregnant I will be on egg shells so I don't know whats worse. I am still waiting to actually get a period. Who knows when that will happen.

I am sorry to everyone who had to go through this i swear I am cursed medically.

Hi everyone,

We are remodelling so I am without internet connection until next week. I just got some minutes now.

Nik, I am very sorry for your loss. At that time, I was totally devastated and depressed. The sadness will ease after some time. You have to give yourself sometime to heal. Many ladies that were in this thread got pregnant after their losses and are doing great now. As for me, because of life issues I am cycling right now. I have been very anxious about doing it again and even thought about not doing any at all. But, I am in day 3 of stims and feeling fine. I just take one day at a time.

Kisses to everyone and Happy 4th of July!

Hi Girls!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I Have Been Mia But I Have Been Thinking Of You. I Really Don't Have Time To Look Back At The Older Posts So I Hope All Is Well. From What I Can Tell Claudia You Are Cycling Again!! Yay! Erin?? Dre??? Jana???? I Did See We Have Some New Girls Here. I'm So Very Sorry For Your Losses.

As For Me I Ended Up With Severe Pre-e And Spent The Last 3 Weeks Of My Pregnancy In The Hospital. Alyssa Marina And Ava Cecilia Were Born May 13th At 33w4d. Alyssa Was 4.5 Lbs And Ava Was 5.1 Lbs, Born By C-section. Both Spent Some Time In The Nicu But Have Been Home For Quite Some Time Now. They Are Great Babies!!! Motherhood Has Been The Most Wonderful Experience And I Really Can't Wait Until You All Also Become Mothers..... I Look Forward To Catching Up Soon...

Hello!!

Jessie, I am so happy to hear such wonderful news from you. I can imagine how busy you are. Thanks a lot for posting your update.

I am in the mid of cycling. Today I will go for u/s and b/w. ER will probably be on Monday or Tuesday. Any extra prayers are welcome!

I am in peace.... strange to be said but really think that what has to happen will happen.

Out of nowhere I am in the middle of job interviewing process. It is going good. On Monday, I had an interview and went to RE´s office: guess where I was more anxious? Of course, motherhood is my top priority right now. I would really love this to work out and be 9 months pregnant.

Love to all!
