Happy TTCAL story (didn't happen to me but happy nonetheless!)

So the same time I got pregnant, a woman my aunt works with found out she was pregnant. Her due date is like 4 days sooner than mine was. Anyway, my aunt told me at the time she had previously had 12 m/c's in the past 4 years. There was some sort of scar on her uterus that the babies kept attaching to and then it couldn't hold them anymore past a certain point (usually about 8 wks I think) and she would m/c. She was actually trying to go through artificial insemination or whatever to try and get the next one placed in a better spot but had to wait a year to get pregnant (per insurance to prove she was infertile as she was seeking a form of infertility treatment). Well she got pregnant and was rather upset, so she goes to a Dr that she knows on the D/L (he's basically the local Dr that deals with high-risk and babies with disease or defects in the womb). He does an ultra sound and everything looks good, he tells her he would say this pregnancy is viable. I had my m/c a week later after hearing this story and never heard anything else.  So I'm talking to my aunt and asked about her friend, she was very happy to report that she is 5 months pregnant and everything looked great! That made me very happy for her, there was a woman who went through a lot and deserved that happiness! And the small cosmic/religious/karma/whatever you want to call it-side of me started thinking that maybe I took that m/c (in the big picture of the world) so she could finally have her baby that she was so desperately trying for. I know sounds dumb, but it still made me happy to think that maybe my little Pook is her baby's guardian angel. I got an overwhelming sense of calm from this story that may not last long but it's making me feel pretty good and pretty proud of my little Pook right now!

Wow, that's a very happy ending! My RE told me he has a patient who's had 11 miscarriages. Yeah, I'd have thrown in the towel wayyyyyy before then!

That is a great story and it is very helpful to try to spin whats happened in a positive light. I lost my dad two years ago and I try to tell myself that we lost our first little one so that he had someone to keep him company.  And now we have two angels to make sure the next one is perfect. One more cycle (which will hopefully arrive next week) and then we can start trying again!

That's a great story.  I'm glad you are able to be so happy for her.  I have a friend that had 9 or 10 m/c so far (one was twins so I forget how many actual losses she had).  She has the best attitude about it and is so open about her story too.  I think if she has a successful pregnancy I would be more thrilled for her than I would be for myself.

wow, what a great story though.  Just like you, I do believe in Karma.  This woman finally got what she deserved and hopefully we all will also!

Wow-- thanks for sharing that great story.

I found out that my cousin's wife got pregnant with their second really close to when I got pregnant with our first and we were both due in May.  I only had a week of bliss until I m/c, but she's now about halfway through her pregnancy.  I just can't find any negative thoughts about them, though, because she went through hell to have their first and I'm just very happy for them that the second didn't take so much heartbreak to reach.  It makes me hopeful that good things will come for us all.

Wow Orchard27 we were really close in our experiences. I got my BFP 09/16/09 after NTNP, then m/c on 9/23/09, I was due 5/12/10. Hopefully good things for both of us!
