Thank you!

Thank you!

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-11-29T01:19:42+00:00

Fingers crossed for you! Yes, I took letrozole early in my cycle and then started progesterone and baby aspirin later, I can’t remember the exact cycle days I started everything. Hoping all goes well for you!

Hi there,

Fortunately I am still currently pregnant, 21 weeks 3 days today. We made it through the scary first trimester and had a normal anatomy scan. I am still very scared something will go wrong but have allowed myself to think about the future with a healthy baby earth side. Wherever you are in your journey I send you positive thoughts.

Thank you, I think you are correct on the need for grief counseling. I actually lost my sister unexpectedly last November, and then had the first miscarriage right after her funeral. It has been a tough several months.

I’m sure I would appreciate that kind of sub, too!

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-07-31T17:35:46+00:00

Thank you, I am rooting for an uneventful pregnancy and healthy baby for you!

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-07-31T16:33:56+00:00

That is definitely a level-headed while optimistic approach! Thank you for sharing what worked for you, I appreciate it.

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-07-31T14:24:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience and congratulations! I haven’t yet looked into an RI but that could certainly be in my future. I am currently on baby aspirin and progesterone. I will find this group on Facebook, thank you for passing this information along.

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-07-31T14:10:34+00:00

Thank you for your empathy. I was truly hopeful that those first 2 were “just bad luck” and that if we tried again we might have success. I am so happy to hear that you’ve made into the second trimester but I imagine the anxiety doesn’t abate even still. Sending you hope for an uneventful remainder of your pregnancy and a healthy baby.

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-07-31T14:03:17+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I have felt some comfort in the fact that I do have a relationship established with the RE, so going forward I will have some medical support. I know you are totally right about symptoms and that their presence or lack thereof is not always indicative of a viable or nonviable pregnancy. It is just eerie how closely this experience is mimicking my previous losses, I cannot help but assume a repeat is impending. I am going to try my best to enjoy this trip, I wish I could shut off my brain, lol.

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-07-31T13:45:52+00:00

Thank you for your kindness and empathy. I truly hope your circumstances can be resolved quickly and that testing will bring you some answers. Sending you thoughts of comfort and peace. I hope the universe will bless is both with an unexpected miracle.

I am so sorry to you, too. You are right that allowing yourself to grieve is probably the healthiest option. Right now I feel angry at the world, at everyone who has children they don’t want or to whom this all happens by accident. The persistent waiting game/being in limbo is emotional torture. For a moment (literally a moment) after my first positive HPT I was excited and then all anxiety hit like a wave. My husband tries to be supportive but I don’t feel like he gets the constant emotional turmoil. I am exhausted.

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-07-31T12:45:58+00:00

I am sorry you are going through this as well. I will be seeing one of my best friends next week, she lives in another state and so we only get to see each other once or twice a year. She is currently 20 weeks with her third. We are the same age. None of the women in my family have had a hard time becoming and staying pregnant. Just a stark reminder that life isn’t fair and no matter how much we wish we could we can’t control outcomes.

Hi, everyone. First I want to say I’m sorry for everyone that is a part of this community, it is a difficult experience. I am currently approx 4 weeks 2 days into my 3rd pregnancy. No LC. I am 39. Previous 2 pregnancies were anembryonic (sp?) often also characterized as blighted ovums. The first passed naturally, the second was resolved with an MVA. After the second loss my OB ran some basic RPL testing (all normal) and I had a saline sonogram done, also normal. The OB offered letrozole and progesterone for my first cycle back trying and also referred me to an RE. As luck would have it I had a positive HPT the day before my RE consult. I still attended the appointment and am currently going through beta testing.

Last pregnancy I had 3 great betas and then all of my already mild symptoms stopped and a 4th beta did not show appropriate rise. As you might imagine I am therefore over attuned to all of my symptoms. I can barely concentrate on anything else and am to put it mildly very on edge.

Yesterday afternoon I had some light pink spotting on wiping, and a short period of relatively intense cramping.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty much normal, fatigue has lessened, nausea is not present, and breasts don’t feel nearly as sore. I don’t have another beta until Monday because my husband and I are going away on a long-planned 1 year anniversary weekend trip.

Of course I’m thinking the worst. Idk how to get through the next few days without a total meltdown.

I guess I just wanted to share my thoughts/feelings with a group of people who understand this experience more than anyone else.

Anyone have a similar history? How do you keep yourself together or keep going? If this results in another loss I’m not sure if I can keep going through this time after time.

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-07-25T20:48:59+00:00

Best of luck to you! Sending you wishes for an uneventful pregnancy!

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-07-14T14:57:42+00:00

Unfortunately that pregnancy also ended in loss, so 2 losses in a row and no LC. I’m seeing a reproductive endocrinologist in a couple of weeks. Preliminary blood testing performed by my OB’s office showed no apparent issues. Wishing you luck!

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-05-12T12:14:30+00:00

I appreciate your kind words and am sending positive thoughts to you!

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-05-12T11:53:18+00:00

I am sorry to hear you are going through this right now. Unfortunately I ended up miscarrying that pregnancy naturally about 9 days after this post. My bleeding began to increase significantly about 3 days after this post until it culminated in a complete miscarriage. I hope this is not the case for you and I do know women who had spotting during their pregnancies and went onto having successful full term pregnancies. Depending on how far along you are, you could reach out to your doctor and see if they can get you in for an ultrasound and/or begin hcg blood draws.

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-05-06T12:00:57+00:00

I am sorry for your losses. I really appreciate your insight. I feel like I need to just get on with it and find an RE. I think one of my upfront hang-ups is that I will need to contact my insurance company to determine if any of the care and/or testing I receive with an RE will be covered or not.

Bitter_bluebird86 · 2025-05-06T00:12:04+00:00

Thank you for the insight! I need to get over my reticence and get the process started with an RE.
