Back here again (intro)

[monabea28]

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new here and am currently experiencing my second loss after having my first back in late Dec/early January. We were thrilled to be pregnant again so quickly and then lost our second even faster than the first.

Tomorrow (Monday) morning can't come soon enough as then I can finally make a follow up appt with my OB. I am so hoping that they will be willing to do some testing for us at this point. I don't feel like I can just wait around until it happens again. I realize it could simply be "bad luck" having two losses in a row but I am worried that there actually is something going wrong and if there is, I want to know before I lose another baby. 

Anyways, I look forward to getting to know you all more. I'm sorry that any of us are here and I wish you peace and healing.

I am so sorry for your loss. I too have just, 3 weeks ago, lost our second. We too are starting testing and seeing what that brings so we will see.eWe have only done one blood test as of yet and I have no idea what comes next, I guess I will find out when I get the results from the first one.
I wish you luck in getting some testing for you. And so many hugs for your losses!

I'm so sorry this is happening to you a second time. I can't imagine what you must be feeling. It's Monday now, so hopefully you were able to get in to see your doctor and don't need to wait any longer. You're very welcome here. *hugs*

Thanks ladies for the warm welcome. I have a follow up with the doctor on Wednesday so we'll see what they say at that point.

monabea28, I'm so sorry you're going through this again, it's so unfair I think it's a good idea that you're getting some testing done at this point. I hope you can find some answers so you can try again soon.

Thank you again everyone. I had what I think was a pretty successful follow up with the doctor today. Got some blood drawn to test for thyroid, glucose and rubella titer. Then scheduled a saline sonohysterogram for end of April (next cycle). We are benched until those results come back. She said at this point since my second pregnancy was so recent that I might get a false positive antiphospholipid test so we are waiting on that for now. I'm starting on low dose aspirin in the meantime because she said it can't hurt. Overall, I feel like I was heard and taken seriously. I'm also really glad to have a "plan" of sorts. That said, during this waiting/benched time I'm going to have to work hard to distract myself and focus on other things. Being in the present moment and having patience feels really hard when I want so badly to be pregnant as soon as possible.

monabea28 I'm glad your appointment went well and that you have a plan. I know what you mean about feeling the need to be distracted. It's hard when all you want to think about is one thing. Good luck with everything!

[hollyberry]

I am glad that your followup went well and you have a plan now! I know haw hard it is to be on the bench and just thinkingmof the time you are missing ttc wise. Being distracted is the only plan I have at the moment too to get me through. Good luck!

[nikolie93]

I'm glad your appointment went well and you have a plan. It's hard to hold tight when you want to get pregnant again. Hang in there *hug*

[hydrangea1019]

I am so sorry for both of your losses. Take care of yourself. Sending you ((hugs))

I'm sorry for both of your losses, but I'm happy to hear that your follow up appointment went so well! I've been reading some good things about the low dose aspirin therapy. It sucks that you're on the bench until further notice, but hopefully you're able to come back stronger than ever when you're ready.
