New to this group..

by AZMomComment Published at 21:2921:295 comments5 comments26 Visits26 VisitsReport

We have been trying to conceive since December. A relatively short period of time, but it has been soooo stressful. I have been pregnant 3 times in this time frame .. however, each has ended in miscarriage in or around 6 weeks.

I always thought I would be relaxed about conceiving, but with the first two pregnancies I became psycho baby obsessed woman. I knew each time I was pregnant within days of conception and it felt like forever until I could take the test to prove it. Now I am physically and mentally drained and am going to take a break from ttc for a while to give myself and our relationship time to recover. I do not want the focus of our relationship to be about having a child and despite us both wanting a child, it is kinda feeling that is what is happening. (if that makes sense?)

I am glad to have found this group, it is good to meet others who are ttc.

I'm here with you Lorna!  We are starting another cycle so fingers crossed it works this time.

Have you followed up with the Drs or is it just too much with the move?

Hi Ang

My Drs appointment was today.. but stupidly after waiting a month for it I cancelled it yesterday!! .. Here's why..

I found out I was pregnant again last week, I started 'spotting' again Monday/Tuesday so called the Dr yesterday who did a scan and saw nothing!! (I was 6 weeks and 2 days) I had the first blood test to check hormone levels and have a second one tomorrow... but I miscarried today. I am hoping I don't have to wait a month to get another appointment as we are leaving here on June 7th so time is against me. All he said on Tuesday is there could be lots of reasons and we will see what is going on after the blood tests.

Oh Lorna!  I do hope you can find out what is going on.  It must be just gut wrenching for this to keep happening.  Fingers crossed you can get in to see the Dr.  Just try to use the moving out of the country story to see if you can get in earlier...

My thoughts are with you.  Please take care of yourself. 

And I will put this out there, maybe until you know what is going on, avoid trying to get pregnant.  It must be hard on your body not to mention your mind to keep miscarrying.  Just a thought.

Thanks Ang

No worries.. we were trying not to get pregnant this month .. obviously not hard enough! We are hoping for a quick Drs appointment and investigation, in the meantime, I think it will be a good 3-6 months before we consider trying again, both physically and mentally I need a rest! I also think that I need to be prepared for the fact that we may never have another. I guess I never considered only having one child, but it is fine as I know I am blessed with JB and so lucky to have him! 

I am going to concentrate my efforts on ensuring JB settles well into Korea, we have already found an English speaking playgroup so it will be good for him to meet new friends!

Well, hope you get some resolution one way or another. 

Korea will be great.  What an adventure.  I am sure JB will be fine.  Kids are resiliant.  You though, will certainly need to find adults to socialize with and the play group is an excellent way to get that started. 

Will there be other Army spouses there with you?  Hopefully there will be a good network for you to get involved with.

Keep us updated and my thoughts are with you
