Hi, My name is Heather.

This forum seems wonderful! you all seem here for eachother all the time!!!

I have 2 boy, Ethan 5 and Kaiden 2. I have always wanted and dreamed of three kids.

On Fathers Day I was 1 day late on my period, and tested and got a very dark positive!!!! I was so excited!! My husband works out of town and wasnt coming home til midnight. So when he got home I had him open his Fathers Day Present, which was the positive test. we were both ecstatic and couldnt wait!!!!

We already were picking out names, lol, we couldnt help it.

Anyway, I had a bad feeling the whole time, my pregnancies are high risk, but this bad feeling was different. The day before my appt I even said "we should leave the boys with a baby sitter in case the baby has no heartbeat"

So we went to our first appt, I was 8 wks 3 days. My dr. did an u/s and our baby looked perfect! we could see every part of him! he looked bigger than I expected. But I could tell righta way something wasnt right. I didnt see that flutter of a heartbeat. But I still remained positive and ave heard of it being hard to detect sometimes. minutes went by. I said to my dr. "hes alive isnt he" and my dr. didnt say anything, I almost broke down, but kept it together. Then about a minute later my dr. said "im sorry there is no heartbeat" I broke down bawling. and I have been heartbroken ever since! My baby even measured 8wks 3 days! He passed away on July 17th, 2007
Later that day my dr. sent us to the hospital for another u/s to confirm. It was confirmed. The next day I had a D&C. Now I wish I had done it natural.

So fast forward 4 months and we are ready to TTC again. I am sooooo extremely nervous, but excited too!!! This is our first month. I usually concieve the first month (i know some of you will hate me for that, lol) but am not sure now because i have heard of it being harder to get pregnant after a miscarriage.

Anyway, I am just so nervous!! I think this forumwill help, you guys understand and we can share our feelings together.

Thanks for listening!!

ive never heard that its harder to get pregnant after a miscarriage before.. i think if you have a problem conceiving them maybe... but i dunno..

anyways. just wanted to say welcome! im sorry you are here in a way.. but i am excited for you and your DH to start trying again!!!

im not "preventing" this month and then will be activly trying next month... maybe we will be in the same DDC! but it always takes me and my DH a few months to conceive while trying.. so we'll see..

Heather....

I am sorry you lost your baby. For what it's worth.... I did it natural at 14w and still ended up with a D&C. So try not to second guess yourself.


I hope you get a BFP quick. We promise not to hold it against you We are a fun loving bunch and LOVE seeing BFP's

to you.

Hi and welcome Heather! I am so sorry for your loss. I had a m/c and d&c on October 17th. Like you, I had a bad feeling during my pg and new something was wrong, but I am very positive for the future and I hope you are too! I usually get pg on the 1st cycle too (we have 2 dds that were both conceived on the 1st try, and our angel was conceived on the pill). Hopefully you'll get your bfp right away!
