    • Close Miscarriage

      I discovered that I was pregnant about 2 months after my wedding. Apparently we brought something unexpected back from the honeymoon. We were so excited. We found out at 17 weeks that we were having a boy. At 19 weeks I woke up one Sunday morning to discover that I was bleeding heavily. Approximately 12 hours later, I gave birth to my son. He weighed 4.7 ounces. I was later diagnosed with 2 blood clotting disorders which we are told is the reason for the loss.

      Treatments

      Grief Counseling Working / Worked
      Counseling is working but it is a process and I am still in the middle of my journey
    • Close Infertility

      Had miscarriage at 19 weeks in late October 2007. Been trying since doc gave the go ahead but no luck yet. Had tried for years with first husband with no luck. I am really hoping that I get pregnant again. I also tested for a genetic mutation/blood clotting disorder that I am taking medication for.

      Treatments

      Folic Acid Too Soon to Tell
      I have to take at least 3mg of folic acid a day as this is also treatment for the blood clotting disorder
      Ovulation Predictor Kit Considering
      I have used these in the past but we are still giving it some time to hopeful "naturally" get pregnant. I dont like the added stress of the tests.
