Hello Ladies.

MrsRiceARoni

Some of you know my story, but I'm sure many of you don't so here it is.

On March 12^th I woke up with a headache that wouldn't go away with Tylenol or rest so that afternoon my husband called the on call Dr who told me to come in and get checked out. After a few hours being monitored at the hospital with high BP and protein in my urine I was sent home to do a 24 hour urine collection. My son's hr was normal the entire time I was at the hospital and my pregnancy had been quite text book up to that point aside from my son never being very active. I was 35w5d and the doctor decided that since baby and I both seemed to be doing well he wanted to give my son a little more time if possible, had I been 8 days farther along I would have been delivered that day. I came back the next day to deliver my urine and get some additional monitoring and the nurse was unable to find a heartbeat. My son had died some time during that time at home, and what I had thought was him rolling around was really my uterus beginning to contract. The protein in my urine had also mysteriously dissapeared.

I dilated to about 6 cm on my own before my labor slowed and I was given pitocin to speed up the process; I delivered my son the next day March 14^th. Aside from being small and a bit on the skinny side my son appeared to be perfect, the placenta was also on the small side. To this day we still aren?t sure of exactly what caused my son to pass, pathology reports did show E-coli on the placenta which doesn?t make sense since that is not a bacteria that is ever found in the placenta, I also did not have a fever or high white blood count to suggest infection.

I have since discovered through additional testing that I also have the MTFHR gene mutation as well as PCOS.

Hi loml! I've missed you.. how are you doing? I've been benched it sucks.

Why are you benches?

I'm doing OK. Doc gave us the go ahead last month. Right now we are not trying but not avoiding, if nothing happens by January then we will get serious.

Well I haven't had AF since August so I went to my dr who did bw and found out I have PCOS so now I'm on bcp for 3-6 months to regulate my cycle and I'll probably need to go on Clomid after as well. My Dr thinks that the only reason I got pregnant so quickly with my son was because I had already been on bcp for years before so my cycle had been regulated.

That really sucks. I'm so sorry. Let me know if you need anyone to talk to about it.

MrsRiceARoni

Thanks, I'm still angry/in denial about the whole thing. I had just gotten over finding out I have MTFHR and the possible complications that may lead to, now adding this is really messing with me. And being put back on bcp is really salt on the wound, knowing that I won't even have any hope of getting pg till next year really hurts.

I bet.... :trying to find some silver lining: hopefully all this will get you your take home baby! It sucks now but if it's for a good cause it's all you can do.
