Don't feel bad for being upset. Who cares what people think. I remember following your last pregnancy and the roller coaster of emotions you were on. I can see why you would be less than thrilled about a bfp so soon. I wish I had words of wisdom for you, but instead I just wanted to say that it's okay to feel the way you do about this. I'll say a prayer for you and this pregnancy. Good luck.
All I can say is that I really hope that this pregnancy sticks with you! I know how you want a baby and the miscarriages you have endured...so lets just hope that this one sticks around!
Sticky babydust........hang in there hun...maybe this is it!
maybe this is the pregnancy that will stick! Dont feel bad but maybe since you were least expecting it this will bethe one! Retest agian in a few days if AF doesnt show! Keep us posted and please dont feel bad!
If I had had five miscarriages I would be upset too. And with moving into a new house and everything......Don't worry I was PISSED when I got pregnant again cause i just lost my baby in August and we were trying to save up to buy a new house and I was not ready and we were using condoms so I was a little confused but I got over it and I'm happy and I'm sure you will too. If you don't end up miscarrying again. Sorry to hear about that. Must be horrible dealing with so many. But just take care of yourself and try not to get too upset you never know this one could be it. Best of luck to you.
You have no reason to be sorry for being upset! We are entitled to our own feelings and emotions, so don't be sorry. From the sounds of it you've been through a lot lately and I would be upset too. However, maybe this is the one that will stick and do well. Don't these kind of things usually happen at the least appropriate times? It seems you have a lot going on and that's when things always happen. I wish you the best of luck, and remember don't be sorry!
I think its great, a pregnancy is a great possibility, your chances of having a baby to term are higher than your chances of having another miscarriage, just think positive.
HOWEVER- Please start taking the prenatal vitamins as soon as possible and also take one Omega 3 (fish oil) capsule every day with your pre-natal vitamins, it can help prevent miscarriages, you can read about it on my journal.
Take care, and I know you are nervous, worried, etc. But its there for a reason :)
Laura, I remember how much you wanted a baby...I know it could be a wrong time for you but every pregnancy is a blessing....please relax and wait for some time to see how this pregnancy progresses and don't be upset! Maybe now is going to be your time and you finally get the baby you wanted?! Just wait it out and I hope that it works for you!
i did start taking the omega 3 on friday oddly enough. i decided to starting taking it after you told me all of the benefits it has for people with lupus. my doctor said that it couldnt hurt to go on it, and that a lot of people have had sucess with it.
i wish i wouldnt have thrown that test away now! im gonna give it a couple more days and see what happens. i had some prenatals left and i take folic acid every day. looks like i need to go back on my lovenox shots!
Hang in there sweetie! And I'm sure this is really hard for you and although I haven't been through 5 m/c I did go through 2 and I know how hard it is to be excited because you are nervous of the same thing happening again. I truly wish you the best and hope this little one sticks for you!! Keep us posted and try to stay positive.
Why are you taking Lovenox?
Omega 3 help reduce the likelyhood of blood clots....I would ask the doctor is there are any risks with taking Omega 3 supplements and lovenox at the same time. I do know that Omega 3 does help reduce blood clots so you probably would be better off with one blood thinner instead of two. Of course, I would go the natural route and just take the Omega 3 and not the Lovenox BUT I'm not a doctor and I don't really know your health history. But I'd rather go natural and see what happens.
Please ask before taking both at the same time, sometimes it is not recommended. And please ask your doctor of anything that you do.
Omega 3 is great stuff and it helps with inflametion (for lupus) and skin and blood, its just overall good but I'm affraid how it will interact with that medicine.
Who knows, maybe this will be a good one :)
my doctor said that i could take it with lovenox, but i am currently off of it right now. ive just been taking an 81 mg aspirin a day and folic acid.
Can you continue with the aspirin instead of lovenox? It seems like it would be a very high dose compared to aspirin and maybe too much in early pregnancy when everything is sooo delicate. Again, I'm not a doctor so I don't know. I just generally tend to stay away from too much prescription meds.
Anyway, I am happy that you are pregnant eventhough I know that you are scared, nervous, and generally not too happy about it. But if its meant to be, it will stick :) Remember that your odds to have another miscarriage even if its 40%, there's still a 60% chance of having a successful pregnancy. That sounds like good odds to me. So stay positive. If its not meant to be well maybe on another ocassion it will be...just keep your hopes up :) I had one miscarriage, I know how horrible it is but you can't really argue with nature...just hope for the best :)
After all you have been through, I don't blame you for being upset. However, I am happy for you! I am keeping my fingers crossed and I think Mumita gave great advice about the Omega 3.
I wish you nothing but the best and keep us posted girl!
Mumita~ I didn't know about all the benefits for Omega3's other than neurological benefits to baby.... I've taken them since I got pregnant. :)
There's tons of benefits of Omega 3's besides the benefits to the baby. I started taking omega 3 for my health and as a good consequence, the benefits of the baby, I will continue taking it after the baby is born.
i havent taken another test to see if it says positive, but i feel so sick to my stomach today. i ate a little bit but i still feel like i am gonna puke everywhere. ugh...i was planning on waiting until after the move to test again but considering my history of miscarriage i guess i should go take another one huh?
I'd say take one, but I wouldn't, it would make me too nervous before the move and then your wheels start spinning, I think its better to leave it alone for a week at least and then make a Dr.'s appointment.
I don't know this pregnancy after my m/c I didn't even get the hcg levels checked and I didn't get an ultrasound until 8 weeks. I left it to faith, god, nature , fate whatever, to decide if this pregnancy was going to work or not and didn't mess much with it and I'm 30 weeks now.
But make a doctor's appointment as soon as you can, and don't worry about an hpt, there's ntohing you can do about it anyway until you get checked out by a doctor besudes taking the vitamins and supplements.
BTW morning sickness is a great sign of a good pregnancy :)
last time i was sick as a dog and it still didnt last :\ i kinda want to take one, but then again i am scared to. if i get another bfp then i will make an appt, but not till the 8 week mark like you suggested.
Then just let it be and take your supplements. Are you going to start taking lovenox? I know that you have a blood clotting issue, but is that related to the pregnancy or is a risk to you?
What I mean is, is the blood clotting issue what's keeping you from having a successful pregnancy OR is the blood clotting issue worse and life threatening for you during pregnancy?
I really don't want to give you the wrong advice so I'm hessitant to really say anything but to make an appointment with your doctor and let it be until your doctor tells you otherwise.
In my mind, at this very delicate time in the developing embryo, I wouldn't do much in terms of chemicals or things to put in your body that aren't natural because at this critical time there are cells forming, dividing, creating, once the fetus is formed then it can take more...but right now I wouldn't do anything that would compromise the development of the embryo, IF you ARE pregnant. I would continue the small dose of aspirin that you are taking, continue the vitamins and the omega 3 and hope for the best. Once the doctor tells you otherwise then follow his advice.
I am sooo hopeful for you :)
i still havent tested...and still no af.
i was put on the lovenox because of mthfr. they told me that was one of the reasons i was miscarrying. i also have low progestrone. i havent started back on the lovenox yet because i dont even know for sure if i am preggo. i am going to test here in a minute tho.
Please let me/us know of the results :)
well, i got the test from a girl i work with because she recently had a m/c and has been ttc recently. she had one in her bag lol. i took the test and it was a walgreens brand. nothing showed in the results screen, which i would assume means its a bad test (its supposed to show the one line to show it worked, and then a plus or minus). i guess ill go on my lunch break and grab one from the store. i go to lunch in 1 hour so ill let you ladies know something as soon as i do! kinda glad that test didnt work cause i dont trust the blue dye tests anyway.
