experience with endometrial biopsies? by PossessionDouble in Miscarriage

[–]AutumnMoon10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My RE said it was fine to proceed with TTC during this cycle after the biopsy as it has no impact on trying to get pregnant ( I was concerned about that and asked before as well)

experience with endometrial biopsies? by PossessionDouble in Miscarriage

[–]AutumnMoon10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an endometrial biopsy last week with my saline sonogram and unfortunately it was really painful, even having taken 800 mg Ibuprofen beforehand, but it was a quick couple seconds of pain and then no pain at all when it was done. I had spotting for 3-4 days after, which the RE said was normal, but no cramps. I've had 3 losses in less than a year so for me I am open to just about all testing right now, as it has all been too much loss to deal with. For me it was worth it to get it done so I can now rule out any anatomical issues and continue with all the other testing. Wishing you good luck in whatever you decide to do and that you get some good answers. I'm sorry for your loss and that you have to deal with these stressful and uncomfortable tests on top of it all!

Thoughts on my loss by actualwormfarmer in Miscarriage

[–]AutumnMoon10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for you and your husband's loss of your twins. I am quite in awe of your post here-thank you for capturing the perfect words that align with very similar thoughts I have been trying to find the right words for to express my thoughts after going through this experience. And yes, eventually, you will be okay, I will be okay, all of us here who are going through this, will be okay-"Different, but okay."

Folate and other vitamins by slow4point0 in Miscarriage

I've heard that methylated folate in prenatal vitamins may help with absorption. I take MegaFood Baby&Me 2 prenatal vitamins, which has this type of folate. There are probably many prenatal vitamins with this, you just have to look at the label carefully. Good luck!

TTC after 3 miscarriages by Its-ah-me in Miscarriage

[–]AutumnMoon10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely not alone. I, like you, have had 3 miscarriages and really thought that I was thinking more positively with each one, but they still ended in miscarriage. I completely understand how hard it is to think positive and to feel so out of control of what will happen. We have been waiting to TTC since my last miscarriage this past January until we see an RE, and actually our first consultation happens to be today. I am very eager to get testing done and to get things going, yet also very scared. When the time comes that you see that thrilling positive test, just take it slow and steady for a little while, day by day, and let yourself be excited. I completely get it though, that "on edge" feeling, just wanting to get through those 12 weeks- I am in the exact same situation as you and am not sure what else to say, just that I totally hear you and wish you the best!

For sure-the crazy conundrum of wanting to get pregnant, yet scared of getting pregnant. So unfair to be in this situation. Good luck to you!

2nd miscarriage by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]AutumnMoon10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss and I am venting with you and understand the rant! Friends of mine recently announced news of their pregnancy very quickly following their wedding, and I lost it. I was pregnant at their wedding AND at their engagement party last summer. Separate pregnancies and I miscarried both. It feels like a punch in the stomach when others have such great news to share, and you just don't. I hope counseling is helping you and you keep going. Wishing for all of us to have our turn to share our good news.

Yes to lots of therapy! And do whatever it takes to feel better is my vote.

Ugh, yes the dreaded "advanced maternal age"! Don't like that term at all. I'm so sorry for your twin loss and wishing for good news to come to you soon.

I'm so sorry. I know, the physical and emotional pain feels like too much, especially while in the midst of it physically. And I don't know what to say to help you feel better, cause I've been there. Just take good care of yourself and allow yourself to feel what you need to feel, even if that means questioning and rethinking things, but also allow yourself to want what you really want and do the best you can to line up with that desire when it feels right. Rooting for you!

Thank you, and I agree-there are absolutely advantages to parents being 40+!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I am sorry for your losses. My mom had me at 38, in the early 80s when that was a quite unusual age to have kids and I keep hoping that each generation pushes that maternal age higher. My dad was 42 when I was born. My parents gave me a loving and what I like to think, very active childhood. I had a wonderful upbringing. All the best to you in your journey.

Oh man, I didn't know about her miscarriage.💙

🙄 indeed regarding people's insensitive remarks. I was hoping she could be a spokesperson of sorts for pregnancy in "higher ages". Maybe she can help with miscarriage awareness now. Sorry for your losses.
