gonna do it again

by shayla1, Sep 05, 2007 09:11AM
Hi Ladies,
  My husband and I have made a decision...after the cord accident (losing our son at 20 weeks) 3 weeks ago we were unsure about everything.  All of the results on him, chromosonal/genetic, came back as normal...so we're equating this to a freak accident as our doctor said.  We are going to try again. For us that means injectables with IUI.  I'm on birth control now to calm down my hormones and we're going to Disneyworld the first week in October...so it's looking like I'll start my with the injectables around October 8th ish....
   I hope that this is the right decision.  I'm going to be soooo scared and nervous.
Any thoughts?

I lost a baby at 18 weeks due to a placenta problem.  It was a terrible loss and time.  I think you're making the right decision to go ahead w/your plans.  I know what it's like to be scared and nervous because I'm pg now & it seems like I'm holding my breath, but I have a good feeling that you're going to be okay.  I'm sorry that you have to go through all of the injections & stuff again but it'll be so worth it!  Have fun at Disneyworld!  I was there two years ago and had the time of my life!

I am glad you are going to try again.  The toughest part is pushing through all the hurt and putting yourself out there again, but the reward on the other side is very much worth it.  Have a great trip!!

It's good to hear you looking to the future now :) It's so hard to have a loss. My tests all came back normal as well at 12wks :(  We're still trying and that was the beginning of Jan. I hope it happens much quicker for you. We're going to Disneyworld, too on the 29th of this month. We live here, but it gets $$$ going on a regular basis. We're taking my 7yr old nephew for his b-day and staying at the Nickelodeon hotel. I don't know who's more excited, me or him.

I am happy for you and i think if it feels right it is the right decision!! I don't know if you remember me, but we kind of have same hx, i have 3year old dd (no problems ttc with her). . . #2 has been difficult, finally did IVF in june, bfp, then lost it at 5 weeks.  And funny thing is we are going to disneyland beginning of october. :) I  think it is a good thing to do to destress and get ready to try again!! I am waiting until January to use my frozen embies.  But i have hope/faith it will work.   And I know that you will get your bfp and have another healthy baby, a sibling for your dd! I am an RN in the NICU, but i attend many deliveries, and i have seen women have cord accidents that go on to have healthy babies. I really think it was just the worst luck and freak accident for you!!! Once again I am so sorry for your loss, but i am glad you are able to try again!!! Keep us posted. I am thinking happy baby thoughts for you. And enjoy Disneyworld!! (sorry kind of long)

I say go for it.  It's what you and DH ultimately want and I believe all things (even horrible as this) happen for a reason.  God has a plan, and I'm sure in due time, it will work out in a happy ending.   I am sooooooo happy that you have decided to try again.  

I lost one of my babies (vanishing twin) at 8wks, and it was so heartbreaking, but I know that god has a plan intended.  

Good luck to you!!

Your story makes me so sad every time I read one of your posts. You seem so very strong but I know it still hurts. Good for you to hop back into the TTC mode. I wish you more luck than I wish myself :)

I'm really happy for you. I agree with spec, know that my prayers will continue non stop for you and your family. Have a GREAT time at Disneyworld!

I'm happy that you are moving forward.
I really really hope you will get a BFP as soon as possible.

Good for you...I think you are making a vey good decision...the important thing is that you made it together with your dh...good luck to you!

by SDteacher, Sep 06, 2007 10:38PM
My DH and I are also planning on starting again in Oct. (IVF #2)  Good luck and I hope it works for both of us!!!!  I believe everything happens for a reason.  Unfortunately, things that happen don't always seem fair.  In fact, at times they seem harsh.  I wish the best for you.......  go for it!
