I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Today marks 20 weeks, I still can't believe it! My family is so excited, they keep talking about all the things we'll do differently next Christmas 💗. I had my ultrasound about a week and a half ago. Everything looked great, but the baby wouldn't change position so we could see everything, so I go back in the morning. I'm so excited! You could see his/her feet kicking like crazy, it was awesome. And here's the pic on the Christmas cards this year, the dog is ready for her new job! 

Trying again?

Had miscarriage on 11-07-15 at 4 weeks 6 days. I think I've been ovulating, as I've been having that fertile CM... we've been having sex as we feel like it, not necessarily TTC but just trying to love each other through this grieving process. We'd both love to be pregnant again... I don't know how I feel! Anyone else in the same boat?

Have you had your period yet? I miscarried two days before you. I haven't gotten mine back yet. Hubby won't try with me until I do :(

Actually looking forward to my period!

Anyone else actually looking forward to getting their period? Haven't had it since my MC and I am hoping it comes back soon. It would feel like a fresh start to me.

Me. I just miscarried. But I'm ready to get it and kind of move on. I'm so heart broken for my little baby. And I wasn't extremely far along but I have wanted another baby for 5 years. Me and my husband were so excited. It's heartbreaking. :-(

My little hope is gone!! 😢😢😢😢

Just to inform those who are following me that I'm no longer pregnant. 😭😭😭I found out on Saturday around noon that my Beta was negative. The md mentioned that it was probably due to the heavy bleeding that I experienced after the transfer.💔💔 As of recently in my part of Canada there has been a bill passed that IVF will cost something like 10k which I seriously don't have. I think that if the Lord decides that we should be pregnant He will have to do it the old fashioned way. Lol!!!I will speak with my husband to find out if he agrees that we put ourselves on an adoption list. At this point I don't think I have it in me anymore to do the fertility thing!! I'm really sorry to let you all down but I think it would be worst of me to be fake. I'm hurting. I'm angry. I don't know where I went wrong. I feel like I don't even care to be pregnant at this point I just want vindication. Some form of feeling like I haven't totally lost. I think I just need some time to process this...I'm so sorry. I will certainly still be praying for all of you. I truly wish you all the best and that your pregnancies would come to fruiting and you will some day SOON be holding your reward!! Jesus bless 💕

Lo

The Lord will bless you with double. Release everything that you feel to him, the hurt, anger and the disappointment. I say it in the name of Jesus the Lord will bless you with double. Stay bless :-)

New here

Hi ladies, I'm new to this group. Seemed to be the group I was looking for. Healing from a MC a few weeks ago. Just waiting for my period to come back so we can start trying again. Hoping to help encourage/be encouraged by you ladies!

Sorry for your loss love.. You're not alone. I just got my period after D&C and it too exactly 6 weeks. I was told to wait 3 cycles and take folic acid and baby aspirin with my prenatal meantime.. This was my first pregnancy. Chin up, all things happen for a reason.. I pray you're in good spirits! Xo

Standing on His promises #1 - Isaiah 61:7

For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.http://bible.com/1/isa.61.7.kjv This is a great scripture to pray out loud and make your own by changing the "ye" or "they" to "I" or "we" or the person's name for whom you are praying. Remember there is power in the infallible Word of God. When we pray it ,we proclaim it. When we proclaim it, we believe it all the more. The Bible says that our victories and our defeats lie in the power of the words we speak - Proverbs 18:21 (I'm paraphrasing for the sake of relativity to this app..lol). Let's simply speak what the Lord has already spoken and promised to each of us!My way of praying this scripture for example : 1. "For your shame ye shall have double"- For all my infertility issues I'll have double; maybe even twins. :))2. "and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion"- For all the moments of confusion wondering why I'm not pregnant or why we haven't been able to conceive I will assuredly rejoice in the portion/blessing that the Lord has for me. 3. "therefore in their land they shall possess the double"- In my land/home/body I'll have double (...joy, peace, prosperity, love, etc.). 4. "everlasting joy shall be unto them"- My joy will be everlasting. Thus means no miscarriage or still births. No temporary joys of any kind!

Berhana,I know this is an older post but AMEN AMEN AMEN. The Lord is good. I just miscarried my daughter on 4/10/16. I was 15 weeks along. I've had a myriad of emotions from worthlessness to anger to solace. Thank you for this scripture. I pray you're finding healing w your loss. ❤❤

Bleeding like crazy and cramps +++

Before anyone asks yes I've been to the md...I was spotting so I went to see the md and started full-on bleeding right in her office. I was checked and was told not be worried. It is still too early to determine if I'm pregnant bc my hormone levels wouldn't be apparent nor the embryo that was implanted a few days before. I was told just to relax, bed rest, no baths.......etc.I'm freaking out! I should be 3w4d; I had my frozen embryo transfer last Tuesday which went perfectly - perfect lining, perfect embryo (although we only had one). So why the heck am I bleeding, clotting and cramping?I want this to be my Rainbow baby!!I'll have my Beta this Saturday. Call me optimistic but I'm still hoping and praying that all is well.

PTL (Praise the Lord!)The bleeding has slowed down!!!!I saw the md today and got great news that was really encouraging. Basically I am not actively bleeding (upon speculum exam there is no blood actively leaving my womb when I strain - like cough for instance). I was 90% convinced that I was no pregnant but the md confirmed that it's about a 60/40 situation simply because of my bleeding. But we are still extremely hopeful that my Beta on Saturday with go well. Thanks for all of your prayers and happy thoughts!!! ♥♥

We had our anatomy scan on Tuesday and our little girl is doing great! She is measuring ahead (she's gonna be tall). I also got my PICC line out! I'll be 22 weeks on Sunday and I am feeling really good for the most part. 

So.....

It's been 2 months since we lost our baby and I'm still not over it. Idk how to get over it or how to move on. We want to try for another one but i feel like its to soon and when i think about trying for a baby i just cant bc im not over my last one. So now me and my husband are having our ups and downs about every lil thing and i just don't know what to do.. I'm so lost and hurt and idk. I want a baby I just don't know when we should try for one or when should be a good time to try.. I could use some advice..

You need to give yourself time to grieve. Everyone is different. Plus your body needs time to recover. While you will never forget the baby you lost, things will get easier. 

Missing my sweet baby everyday

It's been almost 6 months since I lost our baby at 5 weeks and it hasn't gotten any easier. :(

Had my NT scan today. I won't find the results until after my second blood draw in a few weeks. Ugh. I managed to catch the number on the screen and I googled it. I think we are in the clear if we base it just on that. I'm so impatient!

Heartbroken.

We have wanted another baby for a long time. On August 17th 2015 we were thrilled to learn we we pregnant. On September 18th we we're heartbroken to Learn there was no baby. I had what they call a blighted ovum. I'm scheduled for a d&c and so nervous. So my question is has anyone else had a blighted ovum. And after my d&c will I be able to get pregnant again?

I just had a blighted ovum as well. Been about 3 weeks. No more bleeding just waiting  for my period. I had been trying for so long. I am still heartbroken. Baby dust to you! 

Depression/anxiety/insecurity

Hi guys.. I'm pretty new to this app, and since I have such a hard time socialize in "real" life I figure I'd give a support group a try. I'm 33 years old, my husband is 44. I suffer from a lot of depression, which makes day to day life very difficult for me. When I do have to get up to go to work, it's a battle, regardless of how much sleep I had the night before. Troughtout the day I feel a lot of fatigue and all I can think about is coming home and resting, on the weekends even though I don't mean to I'll sleep til late in the afternoon, like LATE ... Sometimes 4pm. I don't want to socialize, I want people to leave me alone but that makes me  even more depressed, you know? I feel like the one thing I want in life I can't have, which is being a mother, I'm not saying that's the sole source of my depression but it plays a part. My husband struggles with low testosterone and disc disease, I have a lot on my plate, a lot of insecurities, I don't feel good enough, pretty, secure enough, ambitious, I sometimes struggle with eating disorders too, comes and goes. I've a lot of abuse in my life, I do take meds, a see a therapist when I can but between my issues and my husband it's hard keeping things going smoothly, not to mention the money needed for all that. Sorry for the huge post. If anyone can say anything please do. Thanks.

I know this is a bit of an older post but I pray you're receiving the help you need. ((Hugs)) A lot of sucky things happen in life. A LOT. I found out I was pregnant w my first child but I miscarried her at 15 weeks on 4/10/2016. I'm 31 years old. I feel worthless, and like a failure. I've been praying for strength to make it through and will be praying for your strength as well. ❤❤

BFP updates?!

How are all of our recent BFP'ers doing?! I feel like the group has been pretty quiet lately, which is fine, just wanting updates on our happy news girls! Hope everyone is great!

How'd your ultrasounds go?? 

So confused....

From what I read and was told I had a chemical pregnancy this month. All positives up until like the day after af was due then all negatives. I've become a poas addict. Now af was due 11 days ago. No bleeding, spotting, nothing. Just light cramps and sore breasts here and there then nothing. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Could I possibly still be pregnant and just ending up having a late miscarriage? I'm so frustrated and confused because I was so happy after ttc for almost a year as of next month. I had to change my Dr appointment because the ultrasound tech wasn't there so I still don't know what's going on medically. Won't find out until later this week. Has anyone ever had all negatives tests and still had a healthy pregnancy and baby? Ugh, sorry for the rant. My mind is all over the place!

In need of support-Miscarriage at 4 weeks and 3 days

hey all. so my boyfriend and I are on our second month of ttc. when my period didn't come on September 5th I decided to take a hpt, thinking this was our month. I am sooooo regular. I never am late or miss periods. the hpt was negative. the next day in late afternoon I got a faint but very much there, positive. I continued to get these faint positives that seemed to be getting slightly darker, but I was peeing so much it was hard to know for sure. anyways, I went to the bathroom earlier today and realized I was bleeding. my heart sank. the bleeding stopped, then I spotted, then it stopped, and then came back again over the course of the entire day. the doctor had me come in for an ultrasound. No sac on the screen. no baby blob on the ultrasound. I had some fluid leaking outside the uterus (not sure what that means, if u know please tell me!) my boyfriend is being a total doll about the whole thing. he's so great. of course he is sad n all, but he's still holding it together for me. but girls, I can't stop crying. legit I'll stop and all of a sudden a wave of sadness comes over me and I start sobbing all over again. I know it was early on in the pregnancy but I am so depressed. I'm also scared I won't be able to get pregnant again. I had a terminated pregnancy at age 18 (please don't judge I'm still torn up about it and regret it 100% my mom and my then bf dragged me to a clinic) I really have no clue what to think right now. is it possible I could have not been pregnant? maybe it's my period instead? how do I overcome this? when can I start ttc again? will it take a while for my body to regulate? thank you all! please feel free to share your own experiences! I need some comfort I really do.

I also just had one at 4 w 3 days on 1/31. Still trying to move forward. Hardest thing I've went through being my first pregnancy 

Miscarriage

For anyone who has had one, how long did it take for your hcg to return to 0 and how long to get a period after??? I was 6 weeks 3 days when I miscarried.

I was having some really bad cramping so the doctor wanted me to come in yesterday for another ultrasound. The baby is growing and the harpy got stronger! (And this time I got a pic!)But, I have a large hematoma that he's worried will rupture or get bigger and cause a miscarriage so he's placed me on bed rest for 10 days!!I'm so upset, but you got to do what you got to do. At least my boss was understanding, though I hadn't planned on telling her for at least another month or so. I'm glad the baby is OK, and that's what really matters, but I'm not happy about missing so much work this early in the school year 😔
