This is my story:-

Me and my adorable husband Steve have been trying to conceive since January 2007. After nearly a year of TTC we were sent for fertility tests and 3 days before we went to get the test results I found out I was pregnant. We were absolutely over the moon because we thought there was something wrong with one of us and this proved that there wasn't. We told everyone about the pregnancy as we were so excited and we made plans for the baby that we'd wanted so badly. It totally took over our lives and we couldn't have wished for anything more. 10 weeks later I had a miscarriage. It hit us really hard and I ended up on medication for anxiety for 3 months as I started suffering with panic attacks and was generally depressed.

Just as I was starting to feel like myself again in June 2008 I fell pregnant again, this time we were even more excited but we tried not to show it as we were scared that the same thing could happen again. On 31st July it DID happen again and I lost my 2nd baby at 5 weeks and 1 day.

So we are now trying to pick up the pieces and move on but it is so difficult. I keep thinking to myself, if I get pregnant for a third time am I going to have to go through this again? Am I doing something wrong to cause these miscarriages? Am I ever going to be able to carry full term? There are so many questions I want answers to but I probably won't ever get them.

I am trying to be positive and believe that we will be parents in the near future but I feel like I've waited such a long time and we've been through so much heartache that it feels like it's never going to happen.

I want to thank all of you lovely, wonderful, kind, caring ladies on this website who truly amaze me each and every day. Whoever invented this website deserves a medal because without it I wouldn't have coped as well as I have in the past. I received so many helpful messages both times I miscarried and they mean so much. I haven't replied to you all because I just get upset but I will be back to my normal TTC self in a few weeks and the positive Minkymoo/Helen will be back, I PROMISE.

Thank you ladies and take care, give yourselves a pat on the back for being so wonderful xxx

I read your blog ~ eat whatever you want! You deserve to spoil yourself a little bit! Our little bean is due in about 12 weeks ~ 80-something days. That seems SO soon! This is our first little one. We're very, very excited, but it's still a very stressful time ~ just never being sure 100% that everything will turn out okay. I kept thinking that I had "stop worrying" points ~ like if I could make it to 12 weeks, I'd relax. Or 20 weeks, or 27 weeks....so on and so on. I've finally come to realize that I will probably never stop worrying! Then you hear of things like what happened to Cindernella from this site, and it's just horrifying. I just thank God a lot for everyday I am blessed with and say tons of prayers. It's a big time for babies in my family ~ my sis just had her first in April, and my sister-in-law is 4 weeks ahead of me. The holidays should be very interesting and busy this year!

I really am so sorry that things have been so difficult for you. I remember when I was TTC ~ I used to pray everyday for our little bean before I got pregnant, and after, and still everyday now, and I'm sure everyday for the rest of my life. I just know that it will work out for you next time ~ although that is of little comfort right now, I can imagine. And when it does happen ~ then you will know what the reason is! You will be such a strong, proud mother when your little one arrives! I'm getting along pretty well, thanks for asking! I've actually had a bit of stomach bug or something the past few days. No biggie, and I don't mind, just as long as our little bean stays healthy ~ I get so worried about everything!
