Hi, my name is Karin. I am 35 years old and have been married for 12 years. We have a beautiful boy named Kaleb who is 2 1/2.


Kaleb has a sister in Heaven. Kathleen was born March 27 2008 at 19 weeks. We got to hold her for 1 1/2 hour before her little heart gave up. She was a beautiful perfect little girl. We have no answers for sure (possibly blood clotting or IC) why she was born early but I did experience bleedings from week 12 and onwards. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong while I was pregnant and assured me all would be fine, but it wasn't. Suddenly my waters broke and two hours later Kathleen entered the world, much too early to be saved.


April 3rd we had a funeral for our little girl. It was a hard day but also beautiful. We sang, we lit candles and we released butterflies. We wrote a letter to her that I would like to share here:

Dear Kathleen
We miss you so much and although we know you are in a better place we wish you were still here with us, that we had gotten to know you and you had gotten to know your parents and your big brother. We can't help but imagine what you would have looked like, what you would have been like, how your life would have unfolded and how you would have impacted the world. You were our little dream girl. We were so looking forward to having you in our family. Your grandma was coming to see you and we were going to take you overseas to see the rest of your family. We were looking forward to taking you and your big brother to the beach this summer. The time we held you in our arms was very precious and you were so beautiful. We know that someday we will see you in heaven but until then you will be greatly missed and you will always have a special place in our heart.
We love you very, very much.
Mom & Dad


Loosing Kathleen has been and still is an extremely difficult experience. Not a day goes by without me thinking of her and imagining what things could have been like. She should have been born August 20 2008 but instead I am left with a broken heart. Yet, I know God heals the brokenhearted and that with His strength I will move forward slowly.


Getting pregnant with Kathleen took us 15 months. We desperately want more children but have to trust in God's timing although we hope and pray we won't have to wait long. I do believe God has good plans for us and we need to wait for Him and trust in Him.


"Still I am confident of this: I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord. Take heart and be strong and wait for the Lord" Psalm 27:13-14

I'm sorry Karin the appointment disappointed you. I haven't been getting on here as much lately because I've been disappointed in life as well. I need to focus on something other than me getting pregnant. I want it more than anything but I'm driving myself nuts!! This month I have the National Walk in St Louis this weekend. Next weekend is the local walk for rememberance. So, I'm looking forward to both.
Take care sweetie, your in my thoughts & prayers always, Love, Sam

I am glad you are changing Drs.And yes I would wait to talk to your acupuncturist to see what she says. Good luck and keep us updated.

Oh NO! I'm so sorry. I would be finding a new Doctor. That kind of treatment isn't called for. Even if he truly believed he was correct he could have taken the time to read what was sent to him and given time to explain himself at the very least. He could have referred you onto someone else that may know more than he ( like my doctor did, he didn't think he knew all the answers, as there is so much to learn all the time. He took over again when it came back into his field of expertise).

I feel for you deeply Prayers are with you.

So insensitive of that Dr. My Dr thinks my cycles are norm due to my pregnancys and wouldn't put me on fertility drugs. But will do IVF.My last three pregnancys were because of clomid( I bought it online)for my first. My second and third were due to the Chastberry root.If I were you I would still try the Chastberry root from the day AF starts untill when you OV or about. It will make your hormones more balanced. You may think you are OVing because you have LH surges, but you can have an LH surge without releasing an egg. It couldn't hurt.

Dear Karin, I am so sorry to hear about your Drs. App being so cold, perhaps you cans ee a different one??
Please dont give up hope. I guess I would have to suggest, try not thinking about it monthly. As you know and I know it will consume you. Then your stressed out...etc... Soo try just living for today. Dont future trip so to speak...worrying about the what ifs? and dont regret the past and dwell on that. Just live for today. And of course keep ML as much as possible :) Then I believe your baby will come. AT least even though DR was cold. He did say your healthy right! So that was good news.
Well I hope I havent overstepped. Just the words that came to me to say {write} Lots of prayer and baby dust.
Me after 9 months we are PG again. We feel very blessed. And that is what I did I quit watching my calender, and tried not to stress and think about it, and prayed alot. And now we got a BFP! So now the hard part for me {us} is to try not to worry or be scared that we will lose this baby too. Ya know? UGH thats hard. Well take care keep me posted.
Love and Light
Claudia

Wow are you kidding me??? What a jerk! sometimes they are just sooo non-caring! I'm sorry, but yes the good news is that you can get pregnant!! For what ever reason it's taking you longer... I can't even tell you to be patient, as I would be a little sad and annoyed myself!!! The fact that he didn't read a single letter is horrible and can you change doctors?? I would asap!!!!

Vent all you need!!! take care and we are here for you!!!!!!!!!

Keep your chin Karin:) Mabye its time to check out a new doc, someone who is willing to work with you and not dismiss you. keep you in my prayers let me know how the ultrasound goes.


mamagris - Tuesday, 30 September
That sucks... I am sorry that he didn't take anything into consideration. I would seek a new doctor or something because they are very expensive and they are supposed to listen to you and make you feel better, not worse. I changed after my m/c and the midwives not doing and ultrasound (not even one) because I "wasn't far enough along" and "it isn't going to change the out come of the pregnancy" When you are dealing with these issues it is very scary for us and you need someone to reasure you and tell you if there is something else you should be doing. I hated feeling like I wasn't important enough for them to just get me in to check on my baby. My new doc is very sensitive (she actually performed my surgery I had two weeks ago to remove my cyst) she reassured me that by losing my ovary that the other would compensate and she also suggested (rather strongly) that we should not wait to try as my best chances are two months after the surgery. I know that you probably don't want to hear about someone that could have chances of conception but my point is you need a doctor that is sensitive to YOU. I hope I haven't babbled too much. I am truely sorry that you didn't get the results but a US will be good too maybe they will be able to see IF something is causing the wierd things goin on. Well, you are definitely in my prayers and keep your chin up....Have a blessed day.

i'm very sorry for what you are going thru & how your appt went. is their any way you can find another dr b/c he sounds rather insensitive & don't seem like he cares? i'm praying for you - everything will be ok!! hope you're having a blessed day! talk soon...

hey sweetie,

Im so sorry that apointment did go very well. I hate when doctors are insensitive like that. Go for your ultrasound and if everything looks fine then all you can keep doing is just praying and trying. I know it will happen again, im so sure of it, its just a matter of when.

Luv kash

Thanks so much kash!

yes i totally agree.. you need someone sympathetic who will listen and take the time to make you feel well cared for and reassured.. even if there isn't anything to do just yet, at least if you felt he was taking an interest you'd feel more reassured.. i would check with friends for a second opinion.. i think you need to know there is a plan.. how long do you keep trying before something is done? what are the possible next options? etc.. then you've got something to work with.

Thinking of you Karin, I want you to get that BFP so much!!

Love,
Janine xoxo

Feel free to vent whenever you need, friend!

Love Janine xo
