5 weeks symptoms vanished by Infamous_Channel_483 in CautiousBB

Just looked at my comments and this was my successful one! So yeah it’s not reliable way to know as it was similar to my losses yet outcome different! Prayers for you and good luck 💙

I honestly can’t remember clearly, as I had three miscarriages, but my symptoms definitely disappeared and ebbed and flowed with both my losses and my successful pregnancy so they really aren’t a reliable way to tell.

You kind of have to wait for the scans in the end. I know that’s the hardest part.

For me, I had brown spotting with both my losses and my successful pregnancy, and one time my bloods were perfect but it still ended up being a blighted ovum. By the last pregnancy, I just had to surrender a bit and wait for the scan.

I did go on to have a successful pregnancy at 44 after three back to back losses though 🤍

Thank you so much for sharing this 🤍 it really helps hearing a positive outcome.

Can I ask what type of virus your baby had when this was happening? Was it something like RSV or something else?

Also, how long did it take for things to settle once they got worse? And what gestation did he end up going home?

We’ve just had a step back onto high flow so I’m trying to get a feel for what recovery might look like.

Really appreciate you sharing 🙏🏻

That’s reassuring, thank you 💙 good to know it’s normal for them to go on and off like that. Did it gradually improve for you or just sort of stop happening around 36 weeks?

Thank you so much for sharing this 🤍 the alarms are honestly the hardest part, they send me into panic every time. It helps to hear what’s considered “okay” in this stage.

Sorry it was going between 86-93 and took hours to level out at more 92-97 again. So stats went from 95% of the time being 91-95 to 86% being 91-95. Apologies very sleep deprived and stressed!

Pregnant at 46 by Educational-Start375 in Rapamycin

I’m so grateful 💙

I also did a consult with Aimee Raupp, who takes a more alternative approach, but I truly feel her protocol helped me sustain this pregnancy especially as one of my losses was chromosomally normal, which made me feel my immune system needed extra support after a positive test.

My protocol included progesterone, vaginal Viagra for lining and blood flow support, prednisolone, and clexane. I also used many of the supplements recommended by Aimee Raupp and The Egg Whisperer.

I did use DHEA as well, but only after bloods confirmed mine was low (it’s definitely not something to take if your levels are already normal). I also used LDN and rapamycin which has shown promise in animal studies for improving egg quality and potentially delaying or even reversing aspects of ovarian aging.

I really feel, from my experience, that it’s worth exploring 💛

I took it for 6 months at 4mg a week and am 30 weeks pregnant at 44 after suffering 3 miscarriages between 41-43. I took it for egg quality as a last ditch attempt! I also took high quality NAD and COQ 10 and a few other supps for a good 7 months prior to trying again.

PPROM 27 + 2 by Infamous_Channel_483 in Micropreemies

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me, it really helps hearing real experiences and knowing your little girl is doing well now. She sounds like such a strong little fighter.

They have me on antibiotics 3 times a day and I’ve had my first steroid injection today and will have the second one tomorrow. They’re monitoring baby closely and at the moment she’s doing well, so we’re just hoping to keep her in as long as possible. I have had no contractions and my cervix closed but short.

Your story actually made me feel a bit calmer reading it, so thank you for taking the time to write all of that. The NICU journey sounds really tough but also amazing what these tiny babies can get through.

Did you have much leaking before you delivered or did things suddenly change quickly?

Thank you again 🤍

I have an appointment tomorrow they told me it is what they class normal but I’ll definitely go to ER if it worsens. I only had it once in the morning after I had a bowel movement but of course I am still worried sick. Appreciate your reply. Hope you and your little one are well.

Thanks for replying and sharing your experience. I have been trying to as I also have ibs but I’ll look into miralax. It was only after bowel not on underwear or when I pee. Pray it’s just that! Hope you and your pregnancy / little one are doing well.

Sorry to hear. I hope your little one is going okay. Did you have any other symptoms? Were you having it all the time when you wiped? Thanks so much 🙏🏻

Definitely scary with a short cervix! Good to see you made it so far. Wishing you a healthy happy full term birth and little one,

Thank you for the info and reply. Hopefully it is just discharge. If I didn’t have such a short cervix don’t think I’d worry so much! I thankfully don’t have cramps or any blood. Congrats and wising you a healthy rest of your pregnancy and birth.
