    We lost Aurora on April 21, 2010. I was 35 weeks along when an u/s couldn't find her heartbeat. I was in labor for 12 hours and she was 4lbs 2.8 ounces and 17 1/4 inches long. I always thought that once I was out of the first trimester, nothing could ever go wrong. Boy I wish I had that mentality again.

    10. Tell us a little bit about your loss(es).

    We've been TTC for almost 3 years. I had IUI#2 in Jan 2010, which resulted in my first ever BFP. We were so happy. It was to be the first grandchild on both sides, so our parents were over the moon as well. In April, during the end of the 1st trimester u/s, it was discovered that he didn't have any skull bones, which is an anencephaly diagnosis. Anencephaly is a fatal neural tube defect (NTD).

    NTDs were so far away from my radar of "sh!t that could go wrong", as I've been on PNVs since we started TTC, 2.5 years prior. I worried so much about a missed miscarriage, as I had -no- PG symptoms. If it wasn't for beta tests, u/ss, and HPTs, I would have never known I was PG. I felt great the entire time, which made me worry that something was wrong. 

    Knowing that this was a fatal diagnosis, we knew that there would not be a take home baby in October. We opted to end the pregnancy, and it was the hardest thing we ever had to do. We found out our baby was a boy, and we named him Luke Michael.

    10. Tell us a little bit about your loss(es). I lost my 1st in January of this year. Baby measured 6w1d. Had a gut feeling baby was a girl so we named her Hannah Elizabeth. Followed doctors orders waited three cycles before TTC and ended up blessed in June with another BFP. Thought things were going really well this time as I had more symptoms than the first go round and heard two healthy heartbeats at 6w4d and again at 7w6d. Suddenly I started spotting at 10w3d and freaked out. Went in for an u/s and saw that our sweet baby was gone. Baby measured 8w4d. Devastation.

    We'd been trying, not trying/not preventing for 14 months when he said "I think you're pregnant."  To prove him wrong, I bought a test on my lunch hour and took it while he showered.  I about threw up when 2 lines showed up.  The best Valentine's present EVER!  When I went in for my 10 week appointment the doctor couldn't find a hb with a doppler.  Thank goodness my mama was with me for the following ultrasound showing an empty sack where there had been a beating heart 4 weeks prior.  That was the worst April Fools joke EVER.  4 days later I had my d&c.

They called and told me on the phone that I was m/c while I was at work, and I got so upset I passed out. They also told me (on the phone) that they thought my pregnancy was ectopic, that a tube would most likely have to be removed, etc. I wound up changing doctor's offices mid-m/c because I was not only grieving, but I was dealing with their bs and my nerves couldn't handle it anymore.

    10. Tell us a little bit about your loss(es). I was a FH and got pregnant right away.  But, it seems like at every appt I got bad news after bad news.  My first appt, I was sent to the hospital b/c my OB wasn't sure what she was seeing on my U/S.  The next appt I found out about my abnormal shaped uterus and large fibroids.  I was sent to a high risk OB and then had a NT scan....but that appt went great....No abnormality on the U/S and went in for blood work.  Got a call on a road trip from my OB that my blood work came back with 1:10 for Down Syndrome and 1:20 for Spina Bifida.  Had to wait a week to have an amnio...that was a horrible wait.  Went in for the amnio with DH and I could tell before my HR OB said anything...our baby was not moving and there was no heart beat.  I had NO symptoms!!!  We had to wait 5 days for my D&E...I cried myself to sleep every night.  A week after my D&E I found out about my MTHFR, and several weeks after that I found out our baby had Down Syndrome...no Spina Bifida. 

    It's been 10.5 months and now I practically have a new uterus.  I have been cleared to TTC again after I get my next AF!!!

    10. Tell us a little bit about your loss(es).  We went off the pill last August and started officially "trying" in November.  Apparently I was a FH, because we got pg on our first "try".  I had a lot of abdominal pain with my pregnancy and it was super scary, but they told me things were fine.  I started bleeding a little after 11 weeks and found out the baby passed at around 7.  Because of the risk of infection I opted for a D&C.  We started trying again 6 months ago and are anxiously awaiting our BFP, but we just commemorated the due date of our first which was super sad.  DH is trying to be positive, but I'm super scared of having another m/c.
