Waiting and waiting amidst all the babies!

[Daynee]

Hey all: I just need to vent because I'm feeling like a big poopy pile of mud. I've had 3 mc's in the last year and a half and have been trying to get preggers again for the last 3 months.Having all the testing done and this and that, taking progesterone. I took a trigger shot a week ago and I'm hoping that dh and I conceived but I can't test until next week. I hate this waiting and this morning, here at work, I just started crying after I got an email with pictures of my cousin's new baby, born last night. And now I'm thinking, hmmmm....maybe I'm emotional because I'm preggers?! I don't know. A few days ago, a coworker friend of mine said she was preggers (she has had 2 mc's before), and recently another cousin of mine had a baby...and I hate to feel this way but I'm so upset because I feel like it just will never be me. So now I just have to work, go to school, and really all I want to do is stay at home. Ugh. If anyone has success stories or just feels the same way, please share!

So sorry for your losses Daynee, I can only imagine how much pain you must be feeling.

I have had 2 mc's (one happening at the moment) with DS in between. As my midwife says, there is a lot of it about, and it is a miserable business. I am pretty scared about the future right now. My SIL will have having a baby 4 weeks before my due date so not looking forward to that, I hope I can be past 12 weeks PG by then.

I have everything crossed for you this month and hope you are getting the support you need now you have had the awful "3 in a row". I don't know the odds but I would expect you are more likely than not to have a successful pregnancy next time, espcecially now you are having tests and taking other measures.

In the meantime the waiting must be truly dreadful and you have my deepest sympathies.

Hi Daynee think I have spoken to you before on other threads. I have also had 3 mc's in a row I do have a DD who is 8 but she is not my DH's (biological) child. I know exactly how you feel my friend is due about a week after I would have been and when she told me I was so upset you know but time is a great healer and you will feel better eventually. What was the next step for you did they test you for different things because you've had 3?

Daynee, I know what you mean. When I was in your situation, new babies seem to crop up everywhere. All the waiting is hard too. I hope you can plan something nice for the weekend to take your mind off it for a bit.

You still have a very good (statistical) chance of being a mum even after 3 mcs btw. I had almost completely given up when I fell pg with DS, but it happened. I hope the testing goes well.
