Hello Ladies

I feel broken right now. Here's my story with some happiness 🌈

My journey started in 2009 the year I got married. At 24 I thought this will no problem, how wrong was I!

It took 9 months to conceive and lost the first baby at 5 weeks, the second very soon after in February 2010.

We took a little break. Then fell pregnant on our relaxed two week holiday in June 2010. All was great lots of scans due to spotting. Then after massive stabbing pain and feeling something wasn't right. We went for a scan and found our baby had gone with the others 11 weeks 3 days. I went for an D n c.

We then tried again in November. And fell
Pregnant straight away. I lost that baby Christmas Eve at 6 weeks.

Sorry this sounds so depressing!! We took a couple of months off trying. The tried again it took us 5 months to fall pregnant again. After numerous scans there was no baby just a sac and finally mud carried naturally at 8 weeks.

Was Totally and utterly broken and pulling my hair out. After counselling I demanded help, I saw a fertility consultant who advised nothing was wrong.

They advised one last try, to take low dose aspirin and high dose folic acid. They'd book me in for an endoscopy two months later.

Well I fell pregnant in December 2012 and all went amazing. A few bumps along the pregnancy. But Eva's 5 in August.

I then fell pregnant with my surprise baby and again not a straight forward pregnancy. But Archie's 4 in October.

So see there is hope......

However I now find myself back to the beginning. We thought we'd wait and enjoy our precious rainbows our miracles.

So this year nearly 4 years since my last birth. We thought we'd try again.

I fell pregnant in May and miscarried at 5 weeks, I then stupidly and accidentally fell pregnant straight away.

Such a shock to the body, lots of spotting and weekly scans. Saw babies heart beat from 6 weeks, movement at 8 weeks. Now just Thursday at 10 weeks my baby. Arms, legs, formed baby had no heart beat. I had a d n c yesterday to save my children seeing my in too much of a mess.

I'm showing my boobs, are massive and everybody I know at school, neighbours etc knew just by looking at me.

So right now I'm heart broken. But I'm truly grateful for what I've got. I'm lucky but it's still crap!!

Anyway needed to get that out xxx

Oh Ju1es22 what a lot to go through Flowers I had an ERPC yesterday and one of the ladies in with me had had 6 previously... I can't imagine the heartache.
wishing you all the best if you try again Xx

Sorry you've been through such a lot.

I admire your persistence.

I had three losses before starting on Aspirin and heparin as it seems I couldn't sustain a pregnancy due to the consistency of my blood. I assume you've had all your clotting factors and antiphospholipid checks? Could be worth demanding blood tests for these.

Look after yourself and I hope things go more smoothly when you try again.

Thank you ladies. It's all very raw currently.

Wishing you love and luck too LifeofPies.

I'm hopefully going to be retested. As things my have changed in 7 years.

Some of the 'tissue' hate they used that word! Is being sent off and I'll get the results in 4-6 weeks. The consultant yesterday is going to speak my original consultant and ask him to help us. Then we can hopefully try again.

Xx
