April 2009 Babies!

Kimmy - I am using Endometrium which is a vaginal insert with applicator. I it like a flat wide pill and stays in just fine and hasn't given me any irritation,

sweetmomi - congrats on seeing the 3 heartbeats!

Silverangel - I don't blame you for not telling anyone this go around. Everyone seems to think that if you tell a lot of people and something goes wrong you have a lot of support. I don't agree. You just have a lot of people asking questions, making odd remarks and giving you sympathy and it is too hard to hear over and over again. We only told my parents and my MIL. I am so scared that something is going to happen because they are all so happy and excited for us. Sometimes I wonder if I was selfish telling them as if something happens they will be terribly hurt. First grandchild for my MIL and would be 2nd for my parents.

Hopeful in Sd: Checking in on you. Saying lots of prayers for you today.

dcdiva and Silver Angel: Thanks for letting me know about the endometrium. I just spoke to my IVF coordinator, and I am going to do PIO once per day and a vaginal gel, Crinone once per day for a week. Then I will switch off the PIO and just take Crinone gel twice per day. It has a nice sterile applicator (thank goodness!)

Ladies, what is the deal with peanut butter and pg. I have read it is a good source of protein, but my girlfriend said I shouldn't eat during pg b/c it could give the fetus a peanut allergy??? Does anyone know the real story??
Food items I read that are good for us: Raisin Bran Cereal, yogurt, shrimp, papaya, hummus, eggs with omega 3 added, spinach.
Anyone else have some do's or don'ts? I haven't had my new OB appt. yet, so trying to get a handle on all of this.
Have a great day,
Kim

Thank you Kimmysq but there was still no heartbeat. I had talked to my regular OB nurse yesterday who told me to call back today if in fact there wasn't a heartbeat. My OB took me right in and did a follow up exam to make sure and then gave me Misoprostol pills to take to speed the miscarriage along. I wanted to do a D&C but I wouldn't be able to get in until next week and it is my first week back teaching.

Everyone at the clinic and OB office were very understanding and sympathetic, which truly did help.

We are extremely sad and I am not looking forward to taking the Misoprostol but I know it will help us move on quicker.

Thank you to everyone for their prayers and well wishes.

Hopeful in SD,

No words are right, but my heart goes out to you. Like many others on the board, I can relate from past experiences and it really, really stinks. Be gentle with yourself. And know you are in our thoughts.

hopeful - just checking in and saw your sad news. i am thinking of you and your dh and praying that God gives you the strength and peace to get through this difficult time. I am so very sorry and hope the very best for you....

Hopeful - I am sorry to you and DH (((hugss)))) Its so unfair, your beta is good number. I just don't understand. My scan will be onb wednesday and I am getting more paranoid. I have been taking many beta tests hoping the beta hcg can explain everything.
I pray that time will wash away your pain and that you will get new strength to embark the next journey. Don't give up and I believe we will all be mothers one day.

Ladies:
I woke up at 4am to brown and red blood mxed. I also have a headache and some cramping. To say I am scared is an understatement.
Need advice, b/c I am so scared I am m/c..

Hopeful, my heart breaks with you and for you! I can only tryand imagine what you are going trhough. This journey can be so tough for us. The only consolation I can offer you is that I really do believe everything happens for reason and that there is a plan for each of us.

This happened for a reason and somehting better and perfect for you will come out of this!!!

you are in my thoughts!

kimmysq: I hate to be the one to say this but that's exactly how my m/c started. Let's all hope that your in the same boat as Kim14 and they say everything will be fine. Lots of women bleed during pregnancy and everything is just fine. Hoing for the best for both of you.

April 2009 Babies!
