Hello, everyone! My name is Vicki and I am currently 8w on the nose. (I've known since 10/4, which was 10 days before my missed period but also 10 dpo, I just ovulated very early!) I'm currently on progesterone suppositories (they never said I had an issue with my levels, it is more of a precaution) - they are gross.
DH (25 y/o) and I (27 y/o) have had a bit of a difficult year. This is my 4th pregnancy in a year. I had 3 very early MC's. The last one was May 11th - well that was when I had the d&c. Without going into it too much, there isn't anything genetically "wrong" with either of us and they were just hoping it was bad luck. With my last pregnancy I did have a subchorionic hemorrhage that was fairly large and in the developing area. There were also miscarried remains found. (They never thought I needed a d&c w the first two, both were at 5 weeks).
So I am comfortable enough, now, to introduce myself and loosely participate. Last time the board caused me a lot of anxiety, so please, please, PLEASE, take no offense if I don't offer too much advice and mostly participate in the "fun" boards. Or I may even stay a bit of a lurker.
I do have a killer constipation cocktail and some rockin' skin care input!
Best of luck and baby dust to all of us here in the June board.
Re: I think it's time to introduce myself! (Losses mentioned)
Just an FYI (because I saw this the other day on another thread) "baby dust" can be offensive to some because of cremation. I never thought of it myself, our little girl was cremated, but I see how it can be taken wrong.
Again, best of luck and congratulations!
