I don't really know where to begin, this doesn't feel like it could possibly be my life. Will you ladies take me back?
I'll try to be brief (not my forte) with my history. H & I started TTC in Nov'12 with a previous IR-PCOS dx. In April of 2013, dx with bilateral tubal blockages. One side cleared with an HSG & I got my first BFP. That ended in a m/c at 8 weeks. At the end of Oct of '13, my right tube was opened via laparoscopy. BFP #2 happened in Jan'14 after a my first Clomid + IUI cycle. At 17w2d I was hospitalized with exposed membranes, went into labor & delivered our daughter at 17w4d. I was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix. After a failed natural IUI (ended in CP) and 2 Femara + IUI cycles (poor response), BFP #3 happened when we went back to a Clomid + IUI cycle. At 13w6d, my OB performed a preventative transvaginal cerclage which seemed to be holding wonderfully. Unfortunately, at 16w1d, I ended up in the hospital with exposed membranes. My membranes ruptured this Tuesday at 16w3d & we lost our son. Once my doctor had a chance to look at everything, he determined that the cerclage pulled through a portion of my cervix & that's what allowed everything to pass. Just the pressure from the stitch was enough for my lame ass cervix to crumble.
Once we are ready to try again, I'm going to have to have an abdominal cerclage to have any shot at a successful pregnancy. If anyone has any info or experience with this, I'd love to talk to you about it. I'm just starting my research on it & my head is kinda swimming. As it stands, I'm actually considering traveling to Chicago from Louisiana for the procedure pre-pregnancy, but there's a lot to work through with doctors before we get to that point.
I wasn't the most active member of this board previously, I certainly hope to be more so this time around. I wanted to thank the ladies of this board for your support earlier this week. The last few days have been pure hell & knowing that there were so many thinking about us has been amazing.

When I lost Zachary, my doctor recommended that I wear sports bras for the tightness. I strongly agree with bluedaisy about making sure you are in the correct bra size. It sucks to have to buy up right now but it does help with the physical pain.
