I'm planning to beg my midwife to see me as close to 13 wks as possible and do a quick u/s, I'm hoping with our 10yr history she'll humor me. I'm just hoping I'll relax before the baby crowns.

Are you still waiting for the u/s or has a natural mc begun?

If I get pg again, I will insist that I have bloodwork done immediately and an u/s done at 5-6 weeks, then another at 8-9 weeks. I think I can demand that at this point with 2 in a row!

I have started a natural m/c, been a couple days now, but nothing very heavy until this morning, when I felt like I was in labor, except with a tiny uterus instead of a huge one full of a baby. It was weird, but still VERY painful....I'm talking having to breathe through them painful! Did you have that or just get whisked away and put under?

I'm so glad things are ending on their own, it's so much easier then having procedures while being devastated. With the last m/c I actually had no pain, nurses think I was in shock, physical shock not emotional. My first m/c the pain was excruciating, I was downing ibuprofen 800. Luckily it will only last a day or two, seriously get your hands on something strong and you'll be fine :)

Lola, sorry to hear you are having a hard time...thinking of you! I agree with Jen, get some pain medication and try to rest if you can!

Good idea, I do think I will have them call me in something with some punch. How are you feeling, Jen? I so hope this is your month!!!

So here I sit in the 2WW now!!! I feel really good about our attempt last night...it was 4 days of DH abstinence which was perfect timing wise....I had tons of EWCM which I havent been getting, I feel really great about it and trying to keep positive thoughts....it was the exact same attempt as when we conceived our son who we lost, everything was the same regarding timing, position etc. I even had an appt in the same town as my OB the day we conceived our loss and I was there yesterday too having an appt with my OB...crazy! I am hoping it is a sign from my little one above that he wants us to have a baby...how nice would it be if it happened today on my birthday!!
I agree with everyone else too about worrying when pregnant....once I get that BFP I am sure I will worry until I hold the little one in my arms...I too went to bed happy at 14 weeks and the next day at a routine appt my life changed in an instant....no one should have to go through the things we have gone through on this board but thankfully we have each other

Princess, that was so sweet, it made me cry....thinking about your little one giving you a sign from above. So glad your sway went the way you wanted it to. You seem pretty happy with it, that's awesome! FXFXFXFXFX for you!!!

You are right, no one should have to deal with losing a baby, it is really heartwrenching and makes you feel so defective and empty. Man, when I had my girls back in my 20s, I will like the poster child for ignorance is bliss....I just didn't worry about m/c, even though I had a chemical at 4.5 weeks right before I conceived my oldest, I just didn't worry about anything except getting food down. It didn't occur to me that the baby could die. I guess I didn't know as many horror stories as I do now at 35. Recurrent m/c just make you jaded. I've been reading all sorts of thread on other forums when I googled "miscarriage" about ladies who went on to have healthy babies. It's giving me some hope to read these stories.

And with the abstinence timing, it is a HUGE PAIN IN THE A$$ to time it, unless you are one of those lucky ladies who ovulates on the same day each month like clockwork. I freaked, and I mean freaked!!!! about it for about 5 months of ttc with no good results. I'd be so stressed just trying to get it to a perfect 4 day abstinence that I was literally driving myself crazy. Some months, I would O a day late, and it would be 5 days, and I'd freak and wonder if I should have dtd earlier, but then just dtd when I was ovulating and had to try to not worry about my DH's sperm count! I think trying to time this and worrying about it is one of the top most stressful things when swaying.

So, this is what we do now: we just do it 48 hours apart, and don't worry about it. I got pg twice so far this way. I honestly don't worry about it swaying girl so much because I believe that diet and hormone levels and other stuff sways way more than timing. I mean, I would not do it twice a day, I think that would definitely lower counts. But, I will tell you, I have scoured fertility friend charts and we have had lots of discussions about this in the past 9 months online about it....most women on FF dtd several days in a row, all on O day, and some with dtd O-2 (2 days before O), then again on O day, so 48 hours apart. If you can manage to time it so that you have a 2-4 day abstinence, you have done an excellent job. But, if your O is so erratic, just take lots of opks and look for a fade-in pattern so you can see when you are getting close.

I totally agree with that :agree::agree::agree: same things happen with me every cycle ..Timing is pain!!!

2-4 days sways boy. I ended up with a 2 day cut off with my successfully boy sway.

Thanks, hun. I am just so bummed and annoyed. I was JUST starting to think I was out of the m/c woods and starting to plan stuff and think about names, etc. I have good times and bad times, but I know it will get better. XOXO
