Mochagirl - we were 13.5 weeks when we lost our sweet baby boy. I don't know if I posted here about it or not, but it was chromosomal - trisomy 18 - which was incompatible with life. We actually didn't miscarry, but interrupted the much wanted pg as the docs told us at 18-20 weeks babies start feeling pain and we wanted to spare our little guy any suffering that he would have absolutely had. Never in my life did I imagine that I would be in that situation and have to make a decision like we had to. There was no "right" decision - either way had the same ending. I posted about it on IG at the time. So you can see why it took so long for my HB to decide to TTC again. We are both absolutely terrified of something similar happening again but the genetic counselor told me that it's just my regular age related risk - no higher. Also why we are no longer swaying as when it came down to it, I would have given anything to take home my sweet baby boy. At least we were able to get hand/foot prints and his ashes are with me in my office at home. I plan on putting him with my mom (she passed 5 years ago), but I just haven't been able to let him go yet.

Oh, Kitten...I'm so sorry. We sort of had a similar thing happen w/us. I wrote a blog here about it to try to help me heal and move on (I think you read it). She may have had a Trisomy 13 or 18 issue but the cord was what she passed away from so we were never faced w/that terrible decision. We are still unsure of whether or not there was a Trisomy issue but I suspect there was. We will never know, I guess. I am so sorry for your loss. I am thrilled that your little Rainbow baby is on it's way...

YAY, Yuzu, Indigo and Kitten!!! Is there anyone else preg whom I'm missing on this thread???

[Yuzu]

I'm bleeding.

[Hobbermittens]

Oh no, Yuzu! I'm so sorry!!

[HopeandDreamG]

Oh, No Yuzu... did you call your doc?? Is it just spotting? Hang in there fingers crossed for you that everything is OK...

[HopeandDreamG]

HopeandDreamG - thanks!
What are you testing with? Still on the ICs? Maybe a brand name is called for... When I tested, the IC line was barely there, where as the + showed up almost right away and the digital showed "pregnant".

Welcome ILindGurl! Sorry I have no advice as I gave up my sway.

Kitten~ I'm testing with the first response early results 13 dpo...Still negativetoday. I did wake up at 3am to Pee! and tested at 7pm when I woke up again. My LP has only been 11 or 12 days in the cycles I've tracked, no AF (FF predicted for today), temp high and I'm exhausted by late afternoon... To confuse matters though, I have Crohn's disease (like a severe IBS) mostly controlled by meds, usually I am under control and don't experience many symptoms. However, right now by intestines feel tender..which usually indicates inflammation which could be causing my temp to be high. My body could be working to fight off an infection. My temp was high though before I experienced the tenderness. So now I'm wondering if my symptoms are due to that and not pregnancy..or perhaps both??

Had a dream AF showed. Guess I'm trying to prepare myself. Anyone have any input?

[Yuzu]

Ladies, I need your thoughts, prayers, hopes...whatever right now. I had bright red bleeding, but now just brown spotting. I need it to stop! I also have some light cramps. Please pray that my baby is sticky.

HopeandDream~There's no reason it couldn't be both! But since your Crohn's is well controlled by meds, maybe the temps are due to pregnancy? You're not out til AF shows.
