Frustrated

Comment Published at 20:5220:527 comments7 comments28 Visits28 VisitsReport

I don't tend to blog about things too personal, but this is frustrating me, stressing me out beyond belief so I've had a change of heart ...

I had a miscarriage in January (at around 6 weeks), I then found out I was pregnant again, but had another miscarriage the day we left for the UK (just before 6 weeks). With both pregnancies I had symptoms really early on (within days of conception) then  prior to each miscarriage I had a loss of these symptoms, started spotting I then took another pregnancy test and it was negative. 

We were hoping to wait for a couple of months, however, last week I found out I was pregnant again! I am 6 weeks and 1 day today, I know this is dated from my period, it is only 3 weeks since conception, I started spotting again today and went to see my OBGYN. I had a transvaginal ultrasound and he saw nothing... (he did warn me prior that this could be the case), but surely there should be something there?!?!? All he saw was a cyst on my right ovary, the Dr said it is the type that does the job of the placenta until it is formed.  I have had blood tests to check the HCG levels (no results yet) and I have to go back Thursday to have another blood test to see how things are progressing. I took another pregnancy test this morning and it is still saying positive and I still have the pregnancy symptoms, yet I am not gonna fool myself as I know the spotting is not a good sign

I am the worlds most impatient person , I want answers as to what is going on?!?! I know the pregnancies have all been too close together, and unfortunately my body longer believes me when I tell it I am only 28 so age is against me too.. but I just wanna know why?  What is going wrong and I want to know all of this NOW (lol now I see where JB gets his temper tantrums from)

Re: Frustrated

Oh Dear,you have been through a lot. But if you can wait,your blessing will come I'm sure of it. The stress of moving and even flying is going to be tough.  I went through what you are and I think the body knows best so be kind to yourself and let's send out positive vibes that the best happens for you.

Re: Frustrated

I've known so many women be told they'd never have children. I've known men that have been told they can't reproduce either. In many cases they defy that and end up having perfectly healthy children regardless. It's usually when they have given up trying that it happens oddly enough. Maybe the stress of wanting something so badly and being afraid it isn't possible is what hampers the chances. I don't know. I have no answers either. All I can say is try not to think about it too much, distract yourself with other things, don't use contraception, live healthy, and let nature take it's course.

Re: Frustrated

I understand your impatience. Our brains want answers and they want them now. Unfortunately the world doesn't always work that way and sometimes we have to accept there are no answers.

If you keep miscarrying it is probably best to give your body a rest, but otherwise it is usually alright to just wait one cycle before trying again. The doctors have very different opinions about this, and so I have done lots of research online and read about other womens experiences. Many fall pregnant the next cycle and go full term without problems. I am sure it is a very individual thing.

All the best! I hope you get answers soon and find ways to cope. Be good to yourself!

Re: Frustrated

Thanks Karin

I know physically and mentally I need a rest.... I am hoping to see my OBGYN before we move to see what he can advise me before even considering trying again.

Re: Frustrated

I've had recurrent miscarriage in the past.  Your body needs about 3-6 months to recover.  Must be hard having to wait to find out what is going on.

Are you trying to get pregnant?  If you are, you could be tricking your body into believing it is.  They call it Phantom Pregnancy. 

Try not to stress about it and just wait until you have more info.

Hi Arna

We have been trying to get pregnant, I hope they are not phantom pregnancies. I kinda think that as this the 5th one I should know the signs.. but who knows?!  I don't feel sure of anything anymore lol.

I also had a complicated c-section with JB which I am certain is the issue. The surgeon who performed it said you won't have a problem getting pregnant again, but you don't want a uterus like this going into labour.. fat chance!

I feel blessed to have JB and another child is a bonus.. I just want to know if it is gonna be possible to have a viable pregnancy or not?! Then I can save myself the heartache
