I had to join and post this. Last year was the hardest year of my life. We lost 2 babies. And I spent so much time searching this site looking for hope or something. Well my story

We started trying for a baby and fell pregnant after a couple of months. I lost this baby at 11 weeks. It was honestly the hardest thing I've ever been through. My head was a mess and we decided to wait because I couldn't handle the heartache again. However I fell pregnant 2 weeks after my miscarriage. This baby was in my tubes and was ectopic. I was offered medication but refused because somehow I wasn't ready to give up. This sounds crazy but going through all this I actually became pregnant whilst already pregnant with the ectopic. My doctor rushed me to hospital and said it was impossible. But my gorgeous snoring little princess was born on St Patrick's day. She's my little miracle after so much pain.

I guess I just wanna say don't give up xx

Awww love this story. Mine is sort of similar. I had a miscarriage last year at 11 weeks. We waited a while to try, and tried again and I fell pregnant , this time they thought it was an ectopic , but weren't 100 percent. My HCG was low, like 400 and I was bleeding loads. They could see something in my tube , but thankfully didn't need methotrexate. We are trying again at the minute, and really hoping it won't take long and I will get my wee 👶🏻 soon.
Thanks for sharing. Awww a wee st paddies baby. How lovely!!!

I know you actually think your going crazy. I swear I spent about £200 on tests. I was obsessed. I used to read these kind of sites looking for hope. So I just wanted people to know it happens. I'm proof.... And honestly when it happens you will say it was all worth it. My Little Dolly was worth every tear xx Good luck hun

@popsanddolls so obsessed!! I think about it every single day and I'm not sure that's a good thing at all. More stress on us both. I have a feeling I may be pregnant at the minute, praying I am but not due period for another week.
Did you take anything extra for your successful pregnancy. I have started taking aspirin 😐 I will try anything.

popsanddolls · 13/09/2018 23:37

No nothing just more sex haha. My partner kept telling me I was obsessed and it wasn't healthy. But I was feeling a failure and knew I could do it. You have more will power than me I would of done 10 tests by now haha. Fingers crossed for you xxx

😂😂 that's the key. Yes my boyfriend said I need to chill out, but they don't really get it. He was as heartbroken as I was , just dealing with it better.He is 30 on Monday, so it would be such a nice surprise if I got a positive test soon. I bought five this morning after night duty 😂😂😂 thank you!!! Xx

popsanddolls · 13/09/2018 23:46

Fingers crossed for you then hopefully you can move on to name obsessing ha xx

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely news pops and dolls. It really helps to hear positive news. Take care of yourself and your little miracle 😊 xx

I feel so silly writing my story compared to what you guys have been through. I had a miscarriage in my 3rd cycle of trying on 1st August. I've had my period and now just feel so deflated. I didn't fall pregnant straight after. I haven't ovulated yet which is strange for me. I'm just losing faith, and it's silly as I've not been trying long. Hope you girls can lift me up or give me some advice. Xx

lovemylot1 · 14/09/2018 11:12

Thank you for the positive story, I had three miscarriages in a row then got pregnant a fourth successive time. Am currently 40+3 weeks, so cautiously hopeful I will be holding a healthy newborn in the next few days, good luck all

popsanddolls · 14/09/2018 11:31

Losing a baby no matter how long you tried is just as hard. I never realised this until it happened to me. Dont get deflated.... easier said than done right. Just keep trying. I know that feeling of a negative pregnancy test. Fingers crossed for you xx

@lovemylot1 congratulations. It's hard for it to feel real isn't it. We had a few complications with my pregnancy. Even giving birth to her didn't feel real. It wasn't until I walked out of the hospital with her in her little cat seat that realisation hit me that she's mine and I'd actually finally had her xx

@popsanddolls just trying to keep in my head I know I can get pregnant so... just would of been perfect timing. Grandads dying and would of loved to have told him about baby :( xx

Troika · 14/09/2018 11:47

I miscarried in August last year at nearly 14 weeks. Found out at the scan that it had stopped developing at 7 weeks. Had an erpc.

Took 6 months to get pregnant again, then a scan at 10 weeks found it had stopped developing the week before. Had another erpc.

Got pregnant again 3 weeks after that, before even having a period, and so far (23 weeks) everything looks fine with the baby (I on the other hand am having a terrible pregnancy with hyperemesis, carpal tunnel syndrome, heartburn, insomnia...)

I’ve been taking low dose aspirin this time. Don’t know if that has made a difference or if this one would have been successful anyway though.

popsanddolls · 14/09/2018 11:49

Fingers crossed for you. That's one hurdle over isn't it that you know you can conceive. Hopefully this will b your last period for a while xx

popsanddolls · 14/09/2018 11:52

I never had any periods between any of mine. Looks like your body is doing everything and your little miracle is growing perfect. My midwife put me on aspirin too. Xx

Delilah7 · 14/09/2018 11:54

@popsanddolls I hope so but not getting any positive OPKS or EWCM at the moment cx

popsanddolls · 14/09/2018 11:56

It's so hard isn't it. I don't think people understand until they live it xx

OP posts:
Delilah7 · 14/09/2018 11:56

@popsanddolls I guess I never thought I would. Regular periods 23 healthy etc. :/ xxx

popsanddolls · 14/09/2018 11:59

Me either I had already had 2 children with zero problems and was 32. Have you had any advice from.docs x

OP posts:
Delilah7 · 14/09/2018 12:17

@popsanddolls as it's my first they said not to worry really and it might just be because my bodies never been pregnant before so it might of just not been prepared for it x x

popsanddolls · 14/09/2018 12:22
