Hi,
Kelly, 32,married
9weeks 3 days, 1st baby
been keeping an eye on everyone. I posted about 3 weeks back about having a 7 1/2 week sac stuck in cervix from previous pregnancy and got preggo again before the old one passed (YES this can happen)and it's still there. Just hoping the new 9 week sticks. Saw the tadpole and heard the heartbeat last week. Kind of nice treatment to get 5 ultrasounds befor 8 weeks!

We have been ttc for over a year now and had a m/c with a d/c in Aug. 05' trying ever since...very frustrated and sad...current situation is my cycles have, since the mc, resumed to a 30 day cycle, I never got af in Feb 06' hoped for a positive preg. test...2 negatives, now I am very late and drs office wants me to wait another week before any lab work. Has anyone had this strange situation???....in the back of my mind I am hoping that maybe I am pg.
Thank you for all of your support and Baby Dust to you all!!!

[baby4Staci]

I had a 45 day cycle in sept oct normally a 28 day cycle.  I couldnt understand why my af was late and all the HPT were negative.  SO i went to the dr. did the HCG test, blood work, urine pregnancy test and eveything came back normal.  Since then i hve learned a lot about my body.  I can feel when i ovulate.  That late cycle i ovulated late and that is why my AF came after 45 days.  

Good luck to you!!

[anxioustobeamom]

I have the MTHFR clotting factor problem. i didn't know that until my loss. they thought/think i may have an incompetent cervix too. I bled badly at 9 weeks and thought i m/c. so did all the ER nurses and doc. but he was fine. at 20.5 weeks i had a light pink tinge when i wiped. being a hypochondriac i called my doc and went to the hospital that night. my husband was away on business so i had to keep telling myself that everything will be all right. that's what he always says. i wasn't having contractions, the heartbeat was healthy, and i wasn't dialated. i was put on strick bedrest until i could come in for a level 2 ultrasound in 2 days. went for the ultrasound and was dialted 2.5cm. thought they could put in a cerclage and was transferred to another hospital. by then i had dialted even more and my bag of water was hanging very low. therefore they could not put in a cerclage. i had a choice of waiting to see how long i could last and make it to 24 weeks or to induce labor. they wanted to do an amnio. came back that i had a severe infection and had no choice but to induce. my husband made it to the hospital from his business trip after i found out that information. the next morning, exactly 21 weeks, at 1:05am, my son was born. the pathology reports of the placenta show a placental abruption. so there are a few thoughts of why i lost him. and lucky for me, i'll be getting ultrasounds and have lots of doctor's visits the next pregnancy. but i know i'll be a nervous wreck until we reach at least the 24 week mark.

I live in Arizona -Phoenix area

I have a doctor's app. next Tues. to see what's wrong with me. I've taken about 5 HPT'S all of them (-ve) But AF hasn't visited me since Jan. 17. I've been having spotting for over a week now, very light pinkish-brownish, only when i wipe and only 2-3 times a day. So i have NO IDEA what it could be.

So hello everyone! Nice to meet you all!!

af after D&C 2/6

TTC the week of 2-13
weird brown spotting 2/21-2/24
We live in Arvada Colorado and we have been together 9 yrs. in April, finally tying the knot on Sept 30th this summer.
so since I have no idea if that was imp. bleeding on the 21st or not I am just going to wait to see if AF comes again.. I love this site and it is nice to hear from people who can relate to your situation!

[baby4Staci]

Funny you should ask.. haha

Well I was due to start af on 10/9 af didnt arrive until 10/23.  14 days late.  Anyway.. the next month i thought i was going to have a late period again and i was pregnant.  I got a BFP on 11/28 and i conceived on 11/11 so i ovulated 5 days late (32 day cycle).  
On 1/3 i was diagnosed at 10wks2days that baby had died at 9 weeks.  I had a D&C on 1/5 and didnt get my first af until 6 weeks later on 2/17.  SO i acutally havent had a normal cycle since september.  
I am on CD 15 now and i believe i ovulated yesterday.  SO we shall see on st pattys day :-)  If i get af this month instead of a BFP then this will be my first NORMAL period since september.

Good luck to you!

[zipperbugs]

I have one more question for everyone. What do all the accronyms stand for? I understand some, but i get lost on alot. I'm new to all this and maybe abit of an airhead...lol!

[lryan]

I am new to this forum also. I have been reading all of your stories and wish you all the best of luck and for healthy happy babies.

I have had 3 m/c in the past, all very early. I am currently 13weeks3days pg. Everything looks good so far. I had slight spotting at 11 weeks, went in for an ultrasound, and everything looked great! The baby was moving around, had a strong heartbeat, and my placenta and cervix looked fine. The dr said the bleeding could have been from the growing placenta. I am praying everyday that this is finally it!

Sticky baby dust to you all!!!!!!!
