Hey ladies - Just thought I would write a short clip. We suffered through an unexpected loss on July 13, 2009. The baby was 10.5 weeks old. Things just weren't going well and apparently, it wasn't meant to be. We have one beautiful daughter already that I had an incredibly perfect and easy conception and pregnancy with....to have the loss was unexpected and devastating. However, I just wanted to shed some light that after just one cycle of waiting, we were able to get pregnant again with a healthy pregnancy and things are going beautifully. I am 12 weeks on Friday and things are going very well. Please feel free so message me or chat if you want to ask questions or vent or whatever the case may be. God bless.

Hi ladies, I am sorry for all of your losses and feel your pain. I just went through the same and know how awful it is. I had an early scan at 7 weeks and the baby had good stats and a healthy hearbeat. I had no idea anything was wrong until I went for my routine scan at 12 weeks only to be told there was no longer a heartbeat. I was shocked. I had no spotting or bleeding and no pain at all. I opted for a d&c since I just wanted it to be over with. I had that done 4 days later although I was in agony with pain for DAYS after. I ended up in emerg and then demanded to see my doctor who concluded I had an infection in my uterus (went on an antibotic), and also did an ultrasound. Turns out there was A LOT of fetal tissue left so I still had to miscarry naturally. It has been horrible. Although I am not a religious person, I do believe that everything happens for a reason and that we will never be dealt more than we can handle in life. I know I did nothing wrong during my pregnany and that my baby died because something was not right and that it was natures way of ending things. Slowly I am coming to terms with it. I will never forget this pregnancy and the little life that could have been but it is time to move on. If anyone needs to talk, I am here and more that happy to listen. HUGS:)

I am sorry for everyone's loss... a kerr I know what you mean... you know our story is very similar... I sadly, have miscarried too. It took us almost 13 months to get pg, I am almost 37 and my other half is almost 44. We got to see a heart beat and have a picture of that and the memory of the happiness that brought us even if it was for such a short period of time. Now that I have gone through this, I am somehow relived I told people that are very close to me so their support right now is helping me. I had to tell at work I was pg for I am a dentist and needed to make sure all staff where I work could help me. I had to get back to work straight away as the schedule was piling due to my forcde days off the prior week when i had a theratened miscarriage .The first day back at work was very hard.. everbody was hoping I was back because everything was better... but it wasnt... anyways... I am taking day by day and I am trying to concentrate on all the positive... I just want to send loving warming thoughts to everyone hoping that sometime soon this pain we have had to feel will go away and we all get our wish. Thanks

a kerr, I am so sorry for your loss. About telling family and friends.. I think it is different for all of us. Personally I need their support and prayers from the beginning. If I had a loss at 7 weeks I would tell them anyway which is also why I tell them early. But we are all different.

Hi ladies. I really just needed a place to vent a bit. So by my lmp I am 9 weeks and 2 days today. And it has been wonderful. I had a mc at 6 weeks in January which was my first pregnancy. This pregnancy we really tried. For 2 cycles and becoming preggo on the 2nd. We were soooo happy. Well I woke up yesterday morning to some lite pinkish brown blood in the toilet. I immediatly called my Dr in histeria as my 1st appt was supposed to be today. I got in and he was feeling my uterus and said it was waaayy to small for 9 weeks...and told the nurse to get the us machine asap. He did a transvaginal us and there was a gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal pole. It measured at 6 weeks. He said its one of two things. #1 my dates are off and Im only 6 weeks. #2 the baby died at 6 weeks and my body just doesnt know it yet. Well it is physically impossible for my dates to be off. He said I could have ovulated 14 days after what I thought was ovulation. But I tested pos at 11 days past what I know was ovulation. So he did bloodwork and I have more bloodwork mon. I know that my baby died. I dont need his confirmation. I am litterally waititng to mc. Im still just litely spotting brown and lite pink. I just wish my body would get the memo that the baby is dead and just mc already. Ahh...I feel better. Thanks for letting me vent!!

btflcrzy, I am very sorry for your loss. I believe a baby is a baby (with a soul) as soon as it is conceived, and a loss is a loss at no matter what stage it is. This baby mattered to you. Please be good to yourself, and take care in this pregnancy. I hope all goes well. xox

i had a m/c at 6 weeks and 4 days.. i tried to find something to feel better.. try to see what i did wrong . tried to turn to chat rooms. but these dumb ladies there said that it was nothing. that it shouldnt bother me cause it wasnt even a baby. i read the comments and man i wish i would have seen them then. im 20yrs old. i had a misscarriage in june and now im 4 weeks. and hoping and praying it all goes well. they say thatthe more people you have praying for something the better and stronger it is. i dont really believe in good but i believe in my angel. and i pray for whoever is pregnant and has had a m/c.. good luck

i have 3 children and was expecting my 4th, it wasnt planned but got quiet excited at the thought when it sunk in, unfortunately last wk i had a miscarrige, i was 10 wks but is was the size of a 6wk which explains why i wasnt having morning sickness, ive had a lot of stresses this yr which included loosing my grandad then my gran and having biopsys on my breast, i feel like every thing is falling apart, ive never gone through anything like this before, i just feel all alone

I was just wondering if it is possible to lose a pregnancy with NO blood whatsoever??? Is that possible? I've just been so worried about having another miscarriage after having 3 miscarriages in the past- it's hard for me to keep believing that this one is just going so well. Uggh!

I am 6 - 7 weeks pregnant today, this is my 4th pregnancy, the other 3 ended in miscarriages at what I thought was 5 weeks. I really don't think they were even 5 weeks though, as that was just a random guess by a walk-in clinic doctor and my poor ability to keep track of my periods... I would say the other 3 pregnancies were lost maybe at about 2 or 3 weeks, about a week every time after I found out I was pregnant... This one, however, I was finally able and deeply relieved to see a positive ultra sound with- the baby moved a little bit, heart is beating at 160-something beats per minute (I can't remember exactly what the u/s tech said because I was just so overwhelmed and crying of happiness). It was just the coolest thing ever to finally experience after 3 losses... I thought with each miscarriage, there was surely something wrong with me that I couldn't have a healthy pregnancy like everyone else (so it seemed). After 3 times, I got it in my head that '3rd time is either a charm or a curse', and well, for me it was a curse, so it would seem... That is why I am now stuck with the anxiety and anticipation of this pregnancy... Don't get me wrong, the u/s was definitely a boost to my morale and hopes of finally having a healthy pregnancy, but I think I will have these worries till the baby is born unfortunately. It's almost as if I'm waiting to reach the next checkpoint of reassurance that the baby is ok- I just hope to make it to the 2nd trimester, then maybe I can stop worrying so much!

Unfortunately, I'm one to have to leave a fresh message here. Our little one informed us through ultrasound that she or he had no blood flow or heart beat. We were supposed to be 16 weeks pregnant and growth never went past 9 weeks.
I had my D&C this morning and now it's time for healing and eventually trying again. We are NOT giving up!

i have always heard wait one cycle before trying.. just to regulate your hormones.. your obgyn would know best though.

Hi, i had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago. I was 7-8weeks pregnant! We were very upset about it as we were looking forward to being parents and it was planned. I have had the all clear from the hospital and everything seems to be back to normal. We are going to start trying again a.s.a.p!! My question is... How do u calculate ovulation after a miscarriage? They told me i could expect to wait 4-6 weeks for a period.. Not sure if ive ovulated already or not.. had twinges but thats it. And also is it safe to try a coulpe of weeks after a miscarriage? I wouldnt want to go through that ever again!!
Ive read it can be safe and couples should try when they feel emotionally ready!! Any thoughts???

heathersprk:: I had a chemical pregnancy last august and miscarried only 7 days after finding out we were prego... My DR told me I could start trying again right away.. I conceived my daughter 2 months later. Im not sure if it bothers you the same way it bothered me, but everyone refered to mine as 'only a chemical pregnancy' too.. It made me feel bad because I felt the loss as if it were any other.. It hurt just as much and I felt like the DR was acting like it was no big deal.. I just wanted to share that with you because I didnt know if you were feeling the same way.. its okay if youre not, but if you are youre not alone... Good luck with everything- if you need to talk you can message my page :-)

Hello Ladies,
I just wanted to take this time to let you all know that I understand your pain. I lost my baby girl at 7 1/2 months. It has been a year and the pain is still there. I still cry I still long for her. What you all are feeling is very normal. It takes time to heal. Men deal with loss and sadness a lot different then women, so don't think that your husbands or boyfriends don't care because they do. They just deal with it in a different way! I'm praying for all of you and wishing you nothing but the best!

Hi ladies,
I just had a m/c but my Dr thinks it was likely only a checmical pregnancy as I wouldnt have been very far along. Im really sad because I did want to concieve, but I only found out I was preg one day and then started to miscarry the next day, so I didnt really have time to get attached to this pregnancy. I am just ready to start to try again. Basically it feels like to me that I just had a period. It felt like any normal period coming on. How long did any of your Dr's say you should wait before trying to concieve again? Im getting conflicting opinions. Also, it might be because I was so early on when I miscarried, if it was only chemical do you think that makes a difference? When they first drew my blood my hcg was 11, they drew it again and it was down to 7, I go back Monday to get it drawn again and Im hoping the hcg is gone.
