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

Karin- I am sorry that things aren't going as planned for you...seems to work out that way sometimes. It took me 4 cycles to go back to the normal 24 days that I was before my m/c and I was only a little over 6 weeks along. I have questioned the doc and done a little research and it can take upwards of 6 cycles sometimes more before you will be regular and since you were a little farther along and your body went through so much it might take a little longer for you to recover completely. If you are nervous though I would definitely call the doctory and have them do a scan or something to just make sure. I wish you the best and don't get too discouraged yet it will happen when it is supposed to happen. My prayers are with you during this time. Take care hun.

No problem anytime Karin. I'm glad I was able to give you some support on this after how great you've been with me.

Good luck hun, and i hope everything goes well at the doctors. I know it can be hard to hear only the medical aspect of it and not see any emotion from him. But to be truthful and i doubt you will get it and i know it hurts. Prepare your self for just the facts, make a list of the things the girls and i have mentioned here and bring it with you. Your turn will come again.
luv kash.

Karin,
I saw your comment on another page that said you are ttc but have irregular periods. I am in no way a spokesperson, but I thought it couldnt hurt if I shared with you what worked for me. I tried to concieve for 18 months with my daughter who is now 9 months. I had very irregular periods and that made it hard for timing. Well I took an herbal suppliment called ovulex. Google search it. I took it to my doc and he said it was safe... It claims ot make a more hospitible home for the sperm, making it last longer. It also claims to make the lining of your uterine lining more nutrient rich. What I am sure it did for me is it made my periods regular and i concieved after 3 months of taking it. Your story touched me and I wish you all of God's blessings for you!

hey karin,
so so sorry this wasn't your month.. it's hard to know what you should do, it could just be taking some time but personally I think I would go and talk to the doctor to see what they advise.. they may just tell you to wait a couple more months but they could do something to help and then you'll be done wondering.
Good luck my friend, I want this to happen for you so much!
xoxo

Hi hunni,
Im so sorry that this wasnt your month. I know something is waiting for you, what it is we just dont know yet. When i got your message i googled some stuff to see if there was something I could learn, or read about to help you.
I came across a book called "Fertility, Cycles & Nutrition" Its a resource for using vitamins & supplements to help regulate cycles. I know you said they have been different each month in flow, and length so maybe this book has something you can try.
Thoughts and emotions, and Anxiety about pregnancy are also said to be causes of irregular periods. I know that you are very anxious about adding toy our family, and im sure that it will happen for you in time, the loss was hard to take and that has to be playing a huge part on your emotions, even subconsciously.
The last thing i would say is that i think you should see your doctor just to hear what he has to say and see if he has any useful tips or tricks to help you regulate your cycle. While reading i came along Provera (medroxyprogesterone) This is used bewteen cyles in different amounts for each women and its to help regulate you cyle.. you can still become pregnant while using it, but as soon as you do get a postive reading you should stop right away. Even if you dont become pregnant right away it may be good to use for about three months or so to see if you notice a change at all in both length and heaviness. I would suggest bringing this up to your doctor and seeing what he has to say.
Good luck hun.

Hi Karin, I think you should see a doctor if not just for peace of mind. The doctor will be the best person to let you know if there is anything wrong or if there is something you can do in order to get pregnant. Sometimes however going on a little weekend getaway does the trick. It calms your mind and distracts you from all that is stressing you out. Let me know how things work out ok?

Wow...Aruna said it wonderfully, Roosa. I too think you should go seek some medical support. To keep from losing my babies, I needed progesterone. I would have never know that if I hadn't looked for some help. God Bless and take it easy like you are....I know it is hard....Some days it is VERY HARD...

hey dear Karin,
this is all things we hardly control .. for you to remain sane in your mind , seek medical support.I mean sure go and visit a pro in the field and you will be much more relaxed believe me .And let nature play its game ..We ,imperfect human being that we are, dont have any control on this.keep cool and remove this from your head that you both are making love just to conceive ..ok.take it naturally and i send you loads of baby dust and you are in my prayers sweetheart
Love
aruna

Hi Karin,
Thought I would let you know that after one of my losses it took 6 mths for my cycle to be normal. Maybe that will be the same for you. I have heard others say similar things. Try and stay calm through this next month, it may just need a little more time to sort out. Personally speaking, I found that once I had one full NORMAL cycle ( that is in days and flow), things seemed to be back on track.
Take care,
Prayers are with you
+JMJ+
Vikki
