PhotobucketWell, were to start! Photobucket

I have 6 children. Katherine 19, Heather 16, Michael 8, David 7, Declan 5, Jasmine 3. I have also lost 12 babies. One of them was Declan's twin. So I guess you could say, I've seen alittle bit. But we're still here and we have a happy family

Photobucket

PhotobucketMy hubby is a Barrister ( In America they are called Attorneys but here only Barristers do court work, Solicitors do the preliminary "stuff"). He is the best Father that anyone could ask for. He takes such good care of all of us and gives so much to the children. He's always playing with them, reading them stories ( with all the voices) and talking to them all the time, telling them all sorts of things. I truely think that the children are his best freinds!

He also takes such good care of me. I feel truely spoiled! He's very domesticated! Every night before I fall asleep he whispers "I'm so glad I found you" I have heard that every night of our marriage. I'm soooooo lucky, God has been good to me.

I've done a sqillian different things, like running an Acting school, an online buisness, Modeling, I've been in hospitality, stockbroking and realestate but I'm now happily just homeschooling my little people( still with my online buisness). Much fun I have to say! :-)

I'd love to hear from anyone that cares to "chat" so do stop by my page.

PhotobucketThe Story so far

( strap on your seat belts, it's a long ride! :-))

I have had 12 miscarriages and 6 healthy children. The first miscarriage was 18 yeas ago and I still remember that vividly. Kyle was 17 1/2 wks. I never found out what happened to him. I lost ALOT of blood, my vains collapsed and they had to revive me. I'm lucky to be here. The only reason I survived, I'm sure, is that my daughter was in the hall at the time of when I "died" and she suddenly burst out screaming "Mummy don't go!" At that I sat bolt upright! Took the nurses and the Doctors quite by surprise!Photobucket Well anyway, then I had 3 healthy children. Then came Mary, who I lost at 16 1/2wks. She was lost to Toxoplasimia. There was nothing that could be done to save her.Photobucket I lost 2 more after her. Then I fell pregnant with twins! One of them didn't make it. Lost Jo at 13wks. PhotobucketWe were very afraid for little Declan and I had to have alot of rest. During that pregnancy, we had the devistating fires in Jan 2003. We had to evacuate our home and we didn't know for a couple of day's whether our house was still standing. Here I am, supposed to be taking it easy and I was driving out of town to our in-laws and had gone into very early labour. I used my WHOLE ventelin and that calmed the contractions down! So Declan was able to keep from being born untill ONLY 3weeks early!Photobucket QUITE the accomplishment! We then lost 2 more little ones. Never having a reason for them.Photobucket The first ultrasounds would show healthy babies but then things would go wrong and I'd loose them. Then we had little Jasmine, Photobucketperfect and healthy, well mostly, she had silent reflux but that was treatable, so she's good now.:-) In 2006 I had an ectopic pregnancy. This little one got OUT of the tube and had lodged in my abdominal cavity. While I did have pain, I didn't pay much mind to it, as it was high up and I just thought I had eaten some bad chicken! ( along with I have an EXTREEMLY high pain threshold)I didn't even know I was pregnant! The week I found out, I had just finished a film shoot. That was the hardest shoot ever, I had to play a very calm nurse and all the time I was thinking I was dying from food poisoning! Anyway, I went to the Doc' because my stomac suddenly swelled and I was somewhat alarmed. I had taken a Preg' test the night before and was pretty excited but confused as too the swelling, I knew I had been busy but was I that pregnant and hadn't noticed? Well no, I wasn't that far along. Turned out that I had been internally bleeding for probably two weeks and the swelling was from the amount of blood! They had me in surgery within 2 hours of the ultrasound! The Doc' was so amased at how much blood I lost, he took photos! My GP couldn't understand how I hadn't suffered a heart attack from blood loss. But I guess I have more to do on this world of ours. I became pregnant again and all seemed to be ok untill 13wks.Photobucket I lost the baby at home and then hemeraged and collapsed at home. My daughter had to ring for the ambulance ( my Hubby had gone to the shop and didn't know what happened untill he walked in to find Heather with the phone!) The Ambulance guys were great, they stabalised me enought to get me to hospital but once getting there the placenta started to tear the uterine wall and I started to hemerage angain. They had me in emergancy surgury so fast, I barely remember much of what happened. PhotobucketSince then I have lost another 3.Photobucket The thing is, I'm healthy, everything seems to work properly, so there wasn't any obvious things that these loses could be attributed with. It has only been the last loss that we have FINALLY found out what is Wrong. Along with having a low progesterone, I have Thrombophilia. You can have this to varying degrees from 40-80 which is nothing to worry about to Mmmm interesting. I came back with a level of 160, showing that this is why I have been loosing my babies. This is a clotting disorder. Clots attack the placenta and blood flow can not get through, so the baby has nothing to survive on. THERE IS A REMEDY!!!!!!!!!Photobucket All I need is 20mg of CLEXANE per day ( in needle form, ahhhhhh) for the duration of a pregnancy untill 37wks. And for the progesterone, I have pessories for at least the first trimester. SO I have a script for Clexane ready and a bottle of Natural Progesterone in the fridge waiting for the IF/WHEN we fall again. My Doc' thinks its a WHEN as we have never had a problem with our fertility. I am very greatfull that my Ob' was human enough to say " I DON'T KNOW WHY this is happening to you, BUT there is a new Doctor in town that has experience with reacuring misscarriage so maybe she can help!" Well help she HAS.Photobucket I first saw her on March the 6th and here we are a month and a half later, with ANSWERS.Photobucket I thank God every day.

So that's it I guess.Photobucket

We'll see what God has for us. Hopefully more little people :-)Photobucket

Have a great day and keep well. I wish you all the best from Down Under!Photobucket

**MOLAR**SURVIVOR!! - Friday, 22 Feb
I love how you worded without tragedy how can we all show compassion. So true! I thoguht after finding out about my Molar pregnancy at almost 3 months along that this was to much for me. Now 7 weeks later I realize why I am going through all this and as weird as it may sound am thankful for all my miscarriages only for the fact that they have taught me to be more compassionate and understanding to others. I have also realized how truly blessed one is to be able to conceive and carry a precious life for 9 months. How awesome is that! This entire thing has made me closer to God and I wouldnt have changed a thing. I believe through his grace that he will heal any ill effects this has caused to me and I will be able to have another healthy child. I always said before my first miscarriage that if that ever happens to me I will be devasted and dont know if I would ever want to try again. Now after 6 miscarriages, my desire to have more kids is even stronger. I really hope you find comfort in God and your 6 blessings you have now and dont give up on your dream of having more kids. I pray for a better outcome next time for both of us.
My HCG is still going down and my goal is to reach zero. It is kinda of scary because my HCG could get to as low as 5,6,7 etc and start going up again which means I have got cancer from the Molar. My chances are 1 in 20. I go weekly every Tuesday for bloodwork and call the Dr's every Friday to get my levels. It is taking its toll on me and lately it takes everything in me to want to go get it done. Guess I just want to be normal again, not have to do this every week then biweekly after 6 months then monthly for rest of the year till 2009. I had added you as a friend on my list when you first anounced you were pregnant and was checking on you and I will comtinue to check on you in hopes of seeing some good news posted soon. Take care.

Hello there,

I do remember with the 2nd & 3rd. The 1st one I didn't even know I was pregnant until after the miscarriage. they did blood work to confirm there had been a pregnancy but at the time I didn't even know about progestrone issues. With the 2nd pregnancy it started out at 3 and with the medication it went up to a 6, (they didn't start me on medication until the results came back with a 3) the 3rd time it was only at a 2 and I never really had a chance to start the meds (miscarried at 5 weeks that time) so this is my 1st pregnancy with the taking the progestone meds prior to getting pregnant. the progestone levels started out this time at a 23 so the medication in advance made a big difference. I'm 14 weeks so hopefully I can stop worrying soon... I just couldn't bear the thought if I had a miscarriage due to a test I had chosen to take. And you are right it wouldn't make a difference what the results would have been. at least to me it wouldn't, call it being selfish but after you lose multiple pregnancies you are happy with what god gives you. Take care and good luck! I'm very happy that I followed my doctors advice on the progestone medication in advance, I had a few skeptics on her methods (friends and family)

I cant say that it gets easier, just try to smile and hold your head up.. Ill be here if you need to talk.. take care!


XONORA5 - Thursday, 21 Feb
Sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers are with you.


darlingshell - Thursday, 21 Feb
I am so sorry for your losses! I wanted to let you know that I have a problem with progestone as well and after 3 losses my doctor started me on progestrone after I ovulated. (I started taking at day 16, took it for 2 weeks and took a pregnancy test, if negative I was to discontinue use of meds until next cycle, if pregnant then I'd continue) I'm happy to say this therapy worked for me and I hope it works for you as well!!


Joy-S - Thursday, 21 Feb
I'm so sorry to hear of your m/c. I'll definitely keep you in my prayers! Best wishes!

I'm so sorry and will pray for you.


~annalyn~ - Saturday, 16 Feb
Hi, thank you for your help. I am so pleased you think its positive. I will take another test in a few days and hopefully it will be darker. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I hope it goes really well. To get the sparkly things when logged in if you go to where it says 'edit my page' (but don't click on it) and below it it says 'for more help see' then loads of things. Click on 'adding HTML snippets' and its got a step by step way of adding them. It's a much clearer way than I will be able to explain, but if you do need more help I will do my best. thanks again. lots of prayers for you. take care xx :)


JandJ4evr - Saturday, 16 Feb
hey there how are you? first of all i'm sorry it's taken me forever to write back to you! and second congrats on your positive! yay! the progesterone i took was call prometrium. i took it once a day and they were 200mg. however i did take it days 14-28 of my cycle (before i was pregnant) and if i got prego i'd continue through week 12. so you might have to take a higher dose.... but yeah it totally works.

oh and just to let you know i found out which side my egg came from, because i was getting ultrsounds since i was 3 weeks pregnant! it was pretty amazing to see 'fluid' grow into a baby girl! :D i guess they can tell which side because of the corpus luteum. well anyway. sorry for writing a novel. :D keep me posted!

DETEMINEDBLACKWOMAN - Wednesday, 6 Jun
WOW I JUST READ YOU PROFILE. THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT I CAN SAY THAT COULD EXPRESS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE CHILD DEVELOP AND THEN THEY JUST PASS. I KNOW THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE GOING THROUGH A ROUGH TIME RIGHT NOW. I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYER. (MOMEMT OF SILENCE FOR YOUR LOSES) I WILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOU. I LOVE YOU AND GOD WILL BE WITH YOU. REMEMBER HE DOESN'T PUT NO MORE ON YOU THAN YOU CAN BEAR. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED TO TALK YOU CAN ALSO WRITE ME AT SHEENA_BROWN2001@YAHOO.COM IF YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING. I KNOW ITS HARD AND SOMETIMES JUST KNOWING YOU CAN TALK TO SOMEONE MAKES YOU FEEL JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER. OH HAVE YOU SEEN IN SPECIALIST. I WAS WONDERING HOW COULD A PERSON HAVE SO MANY MISCARRIAGES. YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL KIDS. THEY WILL BE YOUR STRENGH SO LOOK TO THEM.


DETEMINEDBLACKWOMAN - Wednesday, 6 Jun
YOU ARE THREATING A MISCARRIAGE NOW. IF THEY SUGGEST YOU GO IN FOR A D&C I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD SO THAT BECAUSE NOT DOING IT IS BAD. I HAD TO HAVE TWO OF THEM AND BOTH TIMES I WAS SCARED. WHEN I HAD MY 2ND ON DONE I WAS LIKE I'M GIVING UP ON TRYING TO HAVE A BABY. GOD SAID OTHER WISE AND HERE I AM PREGNANT WITH A BABY THAT IS SO ACTIVE. I KNOW THAT IT IS HARD BUT YOU HAVE TO PRAY AND LET GOD DO WHAT HE HAS PLANNED. KEEP IN TOUCH AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR STATUS IS. GOD IS GOOD HE IS THE ONLY THAT CAN HELP YOU THROUGH THIS TIME OF NEED.
