Hello everybody my name is DaVida, I am 21 and I have a wonderful husband named Nick and we will married 3 years july 24th. We have a Beautiful little boy who is 2 named Jordyn Lee, and he was born January 2nd 2005. Well here is my story so i can update up all on whats going on. (Just so you know I've never had any trouble getting pregnant before) In March i had what they call a pretty normal miscarrige, I was due for my period and I waited the day before my period was due and tested because i just felt funny. Well a very faint positive popped up and a day later i started to bleed (so 1 day late my period came) so i went to the doc. and they did a urine hcg and it was negitive. So they did a blood test and it came back positive but only at 19 after bleeding for a day. So i got another blood test done 2 days later and it was dowm to 10. then 2 days later 0. So its was like my period was a day late and they pregnancy just came out with the period. The OB said that its sooo common and that alot of women have these kind of small miscarriges and dont realize it because they dont test this early. So they after my period me and my husband just continued to have sex. And i found out on May 10th that I was conceiving again. So I got pregnant the 1st cycle after that last lil thing. Well from the begining my hormones werent doubling, so they were concerned. Then they started getting alittle more normal, but my progestrone was only 8.5 and my hcg was in 1800's so they put me on Prometrium. I went for my 1st ultrasound and they saw a sac in the uterus (not eptopic) and they saw the yolk, but i only measured 5w. 2d and she said they can't fetal cardiac activity until 5w 6d. so i went back 6 days later which i should have been 6w 1d and they said the last ultrasound i was measuring 5cm and this time the sac was only 4cm. So the baby stopped growing, I was heart broken and still am. I keep thinking whats wrong with me, has my body forgotten how to be pregnant? I had a D&C the following day and all went well, Im now 8 days since the D&C and i never stopped taking my prenatals so my body can be ready to try again after my 1st AF, has this happened to any of you all? And had a healthy outcome eventually? I so nervious but i want my second child very badly. I just need alittle more hope, so thought talking to you ladies while I go through this would help and making new friends, hopefully we all conceive soon and we can watch each others bellies grow on here lol, that would be great.

Girl, I'm right there with you! I got pg with my daughter very quickly (2 cycles after being off the BCP I'd been taking for 10 years) and had no problems. I thought ttc #2 would be a breeze.

But as I sit here I'm waiting to miscarry my second blighted ovum (the first was in January) and will likely have a D&C this week as it isn't passing on its own (I would be 9 weeks now). And it sucks--there's no other way to say it!

But here's what my doctor told me and what I'm choosing to cling to. He says that although it sucks, I'm likely just falling into the sucky part of statistics, and you likely are too. If one in three pregnancies ends in miscarriage, and 50% of those miscarriage are anembryonic (chemical pg and blighted ovum) then its totally possible to have 2 miscarriages in a row and it mean nothing about your ability to get pregnant.

I too, am dying for a second child, and really want my little one to have a sibling sooner rather than later. We were hoping to space them at 2 years apart, but as the first miscarriage would have been 18 months apart, and this one would have been due in January spacing them 22 months apart...we're definitely past the 2 year mark now.

The only thing I can do to get by and still be able to put one foot in front of the other is to believe that God will send me more children, one way or another and to believe the doctors for now that I AM able to get pg and that a "take-home" baby will be mine if I just keep trying.

I so know how discouraging this is, but I think we both just need to stay positive and keep our chins up and just "get back on the horse" as it were and keep moving towards getting that take-home baby.

If you want to talk ever, feel free to PM me as it seems we're in a similar situation. We get pg pretty easily but have had a run of bad luck. Things will turn around though--you have to believe it!
