Pregnant after a Loss

Knock knock [re-intro]

edited January 2015 in Pregnant after a Loss

Knock knock. Can I come back in? My history is in my siggy, but for those who are mobile, let’s just say I’m no stranger to these parts, with 4 losses in a row. This cycle we were sort of taking it easy, as DH and I were both feeling pretty worn out from the TTC roller coaster we’ve been on. But today is CD27 and, with no sign of AF, I ran out to get some FRERs over lunch. I got my 6th BFP just now in the bathroom at work. I have one LC (DS, who is 3).

Today is my first day back at the office since before the holidays. During my holiday “staycation,”  I did pretty much everything that’s frowned upon for a pregnant person. I drank 2-4 cups of coffee per day to fuel a home organization kick that involved moving furniture with my husband to rearrange some rooms. I got drunk on NYE. I went in both a sauna AND a steam room. I took my DS downhill skiing, which included a fall resulting in a huge bruise on my hip. Part of me cringes when I think about how much more careful I should have been. The other part of me thinks, meh, fuck it. With my last losses, I played it safe and did everything *right* in the TWW and things still ended badly.

Anyway, this is just me trying to verbalize my very conflicted feelings about this BFP. Gladly, I have an appointment with my OB on Friday that was already on my calendar for a check-up, so I’ll chat with her when I see her. And I’m hoping to get a consult with an MFM soon, too. I’m not sure if I will do betas, as they drive me batty and have never been a great indicator for me.

This ain’t my first rodeo, so I know I might be here a day, a month, or 40 weeks. I’m really hoping it’s the latter.

To my TTCAL lovelies who may be lurking: I love you all dearly and will not be posting this on the board for fear of hurting any of you just as you’re getting your footing after the holidays. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the support you've given me, especially in the weeks since my last loss. I will be lurking, stalking, and love titting the hell out of you from here. I will be in touch with some of the ladies from the Multiple Loss check-in about passing the torch, but in the meantime, if there’s anyone who is interested in taking it over, please PM me.

  • YAY!! So glad to see you back!!  I wouldn't worry about the last 2 weeks.  Whenever I do something like forget and eat soft cheese or have too much caffeine in one day I think about that show I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant and all those women who constantly drank and partied during their pregnancies and went on to have healthy babies.  

    I'm sending LOTS of T&Ps your way for your Dr. appt. and I will be waiting for an update. Hope this is your rainbow baby!

    I'm not opposed to voo-doo. It probably has the same success rates as any of the other crap I've tried.

    @KMW08 With the pregnancies that resulted in my last 2 losses, I was on progesterone from 3dpo onward. Since I wasn't temping this time and not exactly sure when I ovulated, I held off on the progesterone, but started it today right after my BFP. I still had some around from my last BFP. I will continue on it and probably have my OB test my progesterone level on Friday.

  • The biggest congratulations to you right now!! So glad to have you back over here, I'm crossing everythin it's for the long haul!! Try not to stress about the TWW, after I did everything *perfect* last time and it still ended in a loss I cut myself some slack this time around and so far things are going good at 36+ weeks!
