BFP but i am so not wanting this right now...

[laura1985]

well ladies, i was late for my period as of yesterday. i took a test and got a very faint bfp. its so faint you can barely see it.

i am so mad at myself right now. we are moving into our new house on thursday. this is a huge (and expensive) step for us. i cannot afford to miss work or be sick. i know how this pregnancy will end. after 5 miscarriages, i am not feeling confident about this one. i havent told anyone about this. i just needed to get it off of my chest. i know i am gonna catch a lot of flack for getting pregnant again and for being upset about it. i wish i would have been able to go on birth control, but since i have a history of blood clots i cant be on it. my doctor wouldnt do the copper iud, so ive been trying to find a doctor who would. ugh...sorry just needed to vent.

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 :)
