I'm new to this site... coming from the abandoned "other" site. I lurked for a couple days before posting here today. I kept the same name (sort of - was salsa_wifey) but I'm not sure anyone would recognize me, I'm not a frequent poster but when I was it was their PAL board. I guess you could say I could belong on either this board or this sites PAL board.
My background:
RA with Sjogren's Syndrome. Risk of heart block in newborn. Age: DH and I are both 39.
BFP #1: 11/25/2007, EDD 7/28/2008 - Missed m/c (blighted ovum) 12/6/2007 6w3d, D&C 1/3/2008.
BFP #2: 4/2008 - Natural m/c at 6w.
Met with RE in 5/2008 full cycle analysis and SA normal. Not considered high risk for blood clots but prescribed 1 baby aspirin a day precautionary during TTC and Progesterone suppositories during 1st trimester of pregnancy.
BFP #3: 10/17/2008. EDD 6/23/2009, Third time's the charm! Healthy baby boy born 6/27/2009 via emergency c-section.
BFP #4: 6/14/2011. Healthy baby boy born 2/16/2012 via elective c-section.
BFP #5: 1/15/2014. EDD 9/22/2014. 2/17/14:.We have a BABY!!! Heart rate 167 and measuring on time. 3/10/14 u/s #2 baby measuring perfectly at 12 weeks at heart rate of 166. NT u/s was normal. Maternit21 blood draw on 3/5/14. Results back on 3/19 - Normal. It's a BOY!!! 4/10/14 at 16 weeks, 3 days discovered baby's heart stopped at 15 weeks, 6 days. D&C 4/11/14. Pathology results were all normal. New information on 8/11/14 - blood test revealed 1/3 of baby's blood was in mine caused, most likely, by a tear in the placenta from extreme coughing. Doctor believes this to be the cause of death. Repeat D&C and Hysteroscopy scheduled for 8/19/14. Went in for ovary pain and discovered specks on the ultrasound in my uterus. Followed up with a saline flush and was given the all-clear on 2/3/15.
If you stuck with to read all the details you may notice that today is the 1 year anniversary of my most recent loss. It's been a very difficult year and I miss my baby boy very much. DH and I were TTC after our loss but then realized that I had to undergo more treatments before conceiving was even possible. After such a rough year, we decided to take a very much needed family vacation in March and I'm hoping to be on the TTC train again within the next couple of months.
Thanks for listening. I hope I can join you.
