I have been away for almost a week. I felt a lot of love as I returned to DS, thanks to friends like you. Peace and Blessings, and a big HUG!
Hug
Thanks for your encouraging words. I made it through the D&C today and feel more like after my D&C with my 1st m/c. Hugs to you and your struggle to enlarge your family.
Hug
Thank you. Worrying non stop is just crippling sometimes. I really hope that some of this anxiety I feel is just from pregnancy hormones---I always worry but lately I feel so out of control. Well if you ever need to vent I am around.
Hug
thank you.. i can't imagine going through another loss.. i don't know how i would handle it.. big hugs.. i hope you have a good night :)

Close Miscarriage
My husband and I have been trying to have our second child since January 2007. On Aug.9, 2007, I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage and had a D&C the same day. I conceived again in the winter, but ultrasound revealed a blighted ovum on Dec.6; 2nd miscarriage Dec.23. Complications led to another D&C on Dec.28 = devastated, drained, depressed. Another missed miscarriage was diagnosed June 23 and d&c June 25, 2008. This struggle has transformed me and my life.
Treatments
- D&C Working / Worked
- Aug.: My doctor said the procedure went well and I was healing (physically) appropriately at my 2-week follow-up. I did have bleeding, at times heavy, off and on for several weeks. Again, the doctor said this was appropriate to my situation.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I was lucky to find a licensed psychologist who specializes in fertility issues. She has been a tremendous help!
Close Parenting Toddlers (1-3)
I'm a former teacher and stay-at-home mom of busy 2-year-old boy.
Treatments
- Education (School) Working / Worked
- My son started a parents-day-out program this year and is gaining confidence and positive experiences all the time.
- Patience Working / Worked
- My son has taught me more about patience than I ever imagined!
- Positive Reinforcement Working / Worked
- Especially helpful with "please" and "thank you!"
Open Infertility, Secondary
After having a healthy son in 2005, my husband and I have struggled to have a second child. I've conceived three times (in June '07, November '07 and May '08), but the pregnancies all ended in miscarriages. The 1st and 3rd were missed miscarriages, followed by D&C's. The second was a blighted ovum, discovered at 7 weeks. Trying to avoid surgery, I miscarried at 10 weeks but complications made surgery necessary again. This struggle has transformed my life.
Treatments
- Basal Thermometer Working / Worked
- Charting helped me understand my cycle and target our efforts: two conceptions, but two miscarriges.
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
- Two conceptions using these; unfortunately, miscarried both.
