Hello!

[sp17]

Hello! I just registered so I figured I would introduce myself. I have been ttc since last year and I have found these forums to be helpful along the way. Since then, I have gone through two miscarriages and am trying to hold onto hope that I can have children someday. I am ttc again this month and will be hanging around here!

I am excited to be a part of this friendly and supportive community. :)

Hi and welcome!! Is this your first?? It's not uncommon for people to have 1-3 miscarriages before falling pregnant with their first baby! Almost as if your body has to "learn" how to do it. Please let me know how I can help!

Welcome! I just joined a few months ago 4 boys and ttc a final time for girl! I have had one miscarriage and it's so hard!! I hope your next one is a sticky one [emoji171]

Thanks for your support, ladies. It is definitely more difficult than I thought it would be to go through losses, even if they are early on. I think the worst part at the moment is that I do not have children yet, so I am scared that I will never experience motherhood at all. Hopefully this will be a good year! :)

SP I was just reading in one of your other threads re your weight. While this is not normally pink sway advice I think you may benefit yourself greatly by gaining 1-3 lbs. Sometimes when you're really petite your body may not want to "take a chance" on a pregnancy. I also want you to eat one serving of full fat dairy a day and 4-6 eggs a week if you're not already. If you can't allow yourself to do both gain weight and do the full fat dairy, do the dairy/eggs instead of the weight gain.

I just wanted to update you guys on my last thread. I did get pregnant, but it ended in my 3rd loss. I have since had several blood tests, an MRI, and an ultrasound with good results. I also had tons of blood work and genetic testing done within the last year that didn't result in answers.

Atomic, I have gained a couple pounds and I am ready to try again! My OPK results are dark positive and I will try one attempt.

Prayers are always welcome, as I am feeling pretty discouraged from this past year's beating.

Sending tons of :pray: and positive thoughts and all the sticky healthy baby dust (preferably pink) that I have!! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything you need to know.

I'm sort of assuming so but did they test you for MTHFR and C677T with your blood tests? These both can be a key for repetitive losses.

Best wishes!!

Actually they did not test me for that! I just started learning a little bit about MTHFR though, and wanted to request a test but then I got pregnant again. This time it is sticking! I am currently 15 weeks pregnant. The only thing I did differently this time is track my hcg and progesterone every 48 hours. The hcg was doubling (actually tripling!) but the progesterone stayed at 20 until it dropped in half one day. I took supplements until week 12 and I think that helped a lot. I was put through a lot, only to find such a simple fix.

I've never heard of C677T and I'm curious to learn more about this. It does seem like MTHFR needs to be more well known, though!

The C677T can cause repeated losses...

Congratulations with your baby! How wonderful for you! Best wishes. [emoji177]

Hey! Soo sorry to hear about the loss you had to face. I am pretty sure that it took long for you to get over it. Stories like these have become very common these days. I can feel your pain about miscarriage because I had one as well. Pregnancy was a miracle for me because I had been TTCing since years. I could have saved the baby if I didn't ran for the door bell that day. I slipped so hard that I fell on the ground with my abdomen downwards. Thanks to my husband who rescued me immediately. That day still brings me goose bumps.
