I have been pretty well since my 4th loss. I am coming up on some more anniversaries and EDDs and am just sad about everything again. 4/4/08 I found out I was pregnant for the second time and my 3rd EDD is 4/15/09. I almost feel I had more of a connection with my 3rd pregnancy than the first two, since I watched my baby growing and my hopes and dreams growing along with him. Sometimes I can't believe that I really have lost 4 babies. I have trouble taking it all in.
I had a craptastic day (unrelated to my losses) and I just feel sad about everything. I can't even verbalize what I am feeling or trying to say. I just need to say that I am sad and stressed waiting for our test results from my 4th pregnancy.
Re: I just need to vent today
I am so sorry sweetie. I have those days too. Please feel free to vent as we can relate to your feelings and emotions. That is what we are here for!!!
On a side: I have a very good friend with the same exact diagnosis as you and she is pregnant with her second child right now (she too went through a few losses before each pregnancy). She is doing Lovenox injections and took progesterone for the first 14 weeks. She has been a good source of support as I go through my own losses.
-I don't know if that helps or hurts but I figure that it may help to know that you can and will get pregnant with a sticky baby. Big hugs.

Thanks. I had all my testing done after the third pregnancy and knew about the MTHFR and Factor V. I was doing lovenox injections and progesterone and a crapload of other stuff, but we still lost our 4th baby. It sucks.....for some reason I have "scars" or discolored spots on my belly from the lovenox bruises that are daily reminders that it didn't work. I haven't done an injection in 6 or 7 weeks, but the spots never went away. Sorry, I am a downer today.
