another miscarriage

I know just how Lynne is feeling. I just miscarried yesterday. What a strange coincidence that it should happen to both of us at the same time. I went yesterday for my blood test to check my counts and also had to get a rhogam shot because I am RH negative. She wants me to go again tomorrow to make sure my count continues to drop.

My doctor said I can try again soon but I don't know how to tell when I will be ovulating. We may just have to wait until I have another period.

What experiences has everyone had with conceiving after miscarriage?

I have one child and had no trouble at all with my first pregancy. I am 6 years older this time (I am 37)

Rachel,

I am so sorry for your loss. I am just a viewer on this board, wishing I could be a part of it again. I have had two m/c and still trying for our first. I went through a battery of tests and they really found nothing except that I had very low progesterone. So, now this is my second round of Clomid to boost my progesterone levels during ovulation and I am also taking progesterone suppositories after I ovulate. I am a human hormone experiment! Ha

You are entitled now to be tested. Most responsible OBs will do testing after 2 m/c because times have changed - most doctors do not want women to continually go through repeated m/c's.

I am thinking of you and pulling for you! Hang in there. I completely understand the myriad of feelings you are going through right now - and you are NORMAL for going through any feelings you are feeling. I am here for you if you want to "talk."

Jenni,

I think you misunderstood me when I said "another miscarriage" I wrote that because Lynne just had one as well.

I have had just one so far. I appreciate your thoughts and concern though. I will be thinking of you.

I wish you success in having your first child! It is a wonderful experience.

Rachel I'm SO sorry. As I said before I had a mc in Dec 2004 and got pg in Feb of 2005 - so there is hope. (((HUGS))) Let us know how you are doing.
 
Rachel - I read your post on Lynne's thread and wanted to send you a heartfelt hug with my prayers. I'm so sorry that this happened - and to two of our boardmates so close together... It's times like this that I wish we could get together for 'real'.
 
Rachel--I am sorry for your loss. I have not experienced miscarraige personally (yet), but I know a number of women who have miscarried and have gone on to have babies.

take care

Rachel,

I'm so, so sorry!!!!

I miscarried in my 12th week last September, and was advised by my doctor to wait until my 3rd cycle to start trying again. We were successful on our first attempt, 3 months later, and the baby is now a few days away from being full-term. I hope your next attempt is as successful. The thing I found about this pregnancy is that I worried much more at the beginning than I did with my previous pregnancies. Someone on a pregnancy forum I read stated that miscarriage takes the innocence out of pregnancy, and that was certainly true for me. But short of a genuine medical problem, you should have no problems conceiving and carrying another baby to term.

Take care,
Sandra
 
Rachel,

I just sent you a personal email - I'm so sorry this has happened to you too! It is very disappointing - I know, I'm going through it too. My friends keep saying its nature's way of taking care of things. I guess our pregnancies just weren't meant to be, for whatever reason.

My prayers go to you and your family. perhaps we can exchange personal emails too! take care of yourself! get some rest.
