It is interesting how different stages of my life and situations that a pregnancy/loss has occurred, how my emotions have varied so much. Sorry to be the downer. I poor group is just a mess lately.

Just wanted to say sorry and I know how you feel


AFM- Went to new obgyn practice yesterday- they are for high risk and were referred to me from my GP whom I trust 100%-
They were really thorough, took all the time in the world- we went through the past 10 years of info and after all of it, the 5 pregnancies in 10 years (2 live births) the 2 very recent early losses- I was told basically,
I have proven fertility and that I should not be medicated and to just keep trying. He also does not supplement progesterone and told me it is not proven to help???
At first, I felt kind of let down- I thought I may get some sort of explanation on why I could not hold the last 2 pregnancies and a miracle drug or something that would help... but he ran through tons of stats with me and with my given case, the vitamins(prenatal, vit D, B complex and one baby asprin) are all that he want me to take. He was big on the baby asprin.
I was worried that maybe the soy iso that I took had caused the MC but he told me no... I could still use the soy at the beginning of the month if i wanted but I am leery to say the least, I do have a strong O while taking it tho and it got me pg 2x I swear...still scared.
So after my 1 hour car ride home I felt unbelievably relieved, and no longer let down. I feel hopeful and have a different perspective for now. I tend to want to control things and must stop trying to control this. If it is Gods will it will happen.
praying for all of you mamas every day

I was there not too long ago. Especially since I REALLY wanted a Sept. baby. I think after so many you can't help be angry and frustrated. It's like being given that present you want so badly and then having it YANKED away. Do you take anything at the start of your pregnancies? (progesterone, baby aspirin)

But tonight could be the night so make sure to catch him right before he leaves!! Still hoping for you!!

My Doc also doesn't "believe" in progesterone but she did prescribe me 100mg Prometrium this time more for my benefit I guess. There are no reasons for me not to have kept the last 3 either. I started taking the baby aspirin this time and once the test was positive started taking the progesterone. But mostly like you I told God just to let me be grateful for what I have and for this baby for however long He lends he/she to me. I am also a HUGE control freak. I ask Him everyday to forgive me for trying to take it back. I pray you will be blessed with your keeper very soon.

Jaime and Sherill - just rooting for your O time to be filled with swimmers!!

AFM - had some light brown discharge today and trying to keep relaxed and joyous. No cramping or red yet so I have only things to be happy about. This day I am still carrying my baby. I am officially 4 weeks today. I am wondering if it is ok to stay here for a bit longer. I just really don't want to start connecting to a group only to possibly have to leave. KWIM?

Please stay. Reading that just made me tear up. Just a beautiful sentiment. I hope if god blesses me again with another baby i can just let go and let him have control.

Afm:i finally! A neg opk this afternoon. It's still dark but not quite as dark as the control line. So now i need to see what my temps do. If i did O on cd 17, then i should be able to test on valentine's day even though it will be early. A bfp would be the best valentine's day gift ever.

Hugs Tori. I am ok with you sticking around, until you feel comfy moving to your DDC. Tell your little bean to tuck in tight for everyone.
I only stalked the DDC before my October bean slipped away. I couldn't bring myself to join.

I don't take anything yet. I am still nursing so I can't take aspirin, especially with all the crazy viruses going on around here. My progesterone levels have always skyrocketed with pregnancy. I have no idea about this time since I didn't go in for full labs, but with my other MC my levels were well within normal-high range.
