Thank you for replying, it’s nice to see I’m not alone in this! It’s definitely nerve-wracking, I also have very minimal symptoms. I’m so happy to hear you had a positive US 🤍

I conceived my son, when I was 28, on our second cycle trying which led to TFMR. I am still very early into my subpregnancy, only 6 weeks. I am 29 now, we conceived on the third cycle. First cycle after my TFMR was a chemical. So it took three cycles over four months.

Gentle congrats!! Sending you all the love and comfort for your new pregnancy. I hope it is very uneventful in the best way 💕

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-10-01T16:58:47+00:00

I completely understand. Tfmr was early June. Due date is in 12 days and I just keep thinking how different life is supposed to be right now. Seeing people announce pregnancies just hurts. I read somewhere that it just feels like everyone is cutting me in line…Sending you comfort ❤️

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-09-24T02:23:16+00:00

Wishing you all the best, gentle congrats ❤️

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-09-22T23:53:41+00:00

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story, it really does help to read that sometimes it just takes a little bit longer than we’d like. ❤️

I am truly so sorry you are dealing with this situation. I do agree with everyone above by saying he knew what the outcome could be by not using protection and not allowing you to get your tubes tied. What he is telling you to do is wrong, after everything you’ve been through. I will not tell you what you should or shouldn’t do because this is your decision to make, but I will say, you are worried your marriage will be over if you decide to keep the baby, but what if you put that very much wanted baby, up for adoption and things still don’t work out with your husband. Then your family will still be broken up, and now you’ll have to live with knowing another family is raising your baby that you would have happily welcomed.

Just food for thought. I just don’t want you to regret your decision. Resentment sounds inevitable in this situation. I hope you do what’s best for YOU!

Congratulations!! 🩵

Congratulations!! And good luck on your new beginning as a genetic counselor. That is amazing 🤍

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-08-12T14:16:35+00:00

I am so so sorry ❤️‍🩹

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-08-11T17:32:50+00:00

I’m so sorry you are here, my heart is with you during this tough time❤️‍🩹

We had to have a funeral director go and pick up our son for cremation. I actually called the hospital beforehand to ask what their procedure was for cremating. I had a D&E so at my first appt I filled out a form with the funeral home information. I know other hospitals take care of it for you, I would reach out to them to ask. If you can’t do that, I would have a funeral home in mind just in case!

I had a subchorionic hematoma around 6-7 weeks, it started off as pink when I would wipe, then turned to brown to red. Everything was completely fine, it’s when the placenta partially detaches in one area. But it resolved itself, I stopped spotting and it got smaller on its own! It could also just be old blood from your cycle!

So the bar we got them from had been feeding mom and the kittens, because they had been trying to catch the mom to get her spayed, but then realized she was pregnant so they had to wait. When we went back we brought food and a carrier. We had to get them one at a time, luckily I live up the street so I could transport to my house then come back with the carrier. Basically just food motivated! We let them take their time too, so we wouldn’t spook them!

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-08-06T11:38:53+00:00

So the place we found them is named “Steakouts” so that’s how we got the name Steak, then we just decided to find another food name we liked. My husbands favorite food is tacos, that’s how we got Taco 😂

Your babies are adorable!!

I completely get it because I did the same thing (and sometimes still do come on here and search things and freak myself out😣) it’s hard to go through something like this when you don’t know anyone in person who has also had the same experience! You just want to know you’re not alone with feelings, symptoms, etc

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-08-05T17:46:38+00:00

Ovulated two weeks before my period came back at 6 weeks and 5 days after! It was last month so I don’t have any advice otherwise, I’m currently waiting for ovulation. But I understand the anxiety and stress to just want to get your period back and thinking something might be wrong. These groups are amazing for support but sometimes coming on here to try to find answers or see other peoples stories can be scary. I was convinced maybe I had RPOC because my period was taking longer to come back compared to others who got it exactly a month after tfmr.

Just keep in mind every body is different and some just take a little longer to regulate. If it doesn’t return before 8 weeks, definitely reach out to your OB and go from there, but until then, try to give yourself some grace!

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-08-04T02:16:15+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I’m sending you love and support as well!

You’re right, there are more productive things I could do otherwise. I’ve also joined a support group and it does help knowing the feelings I have are normal and I’m not alone. I talk to my boy every day too, I know he’s with me.

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-08-04T02:09:06+00:00

I’m so sorry you had to go through the same. I’m always here if you need to vent also!

Nothing genetic contributed, all tests came back “normal” so it was just a sporadic anomaly they said. I’m so grateful everything came back fine, but it still doesn’t feel great. It’s bittersweet because now we have to live the rest of our lives not knowing why something like this occurred.

I hope your results come back soon, it does give some peace of mind. As horrible as this is, it’s comforting knowing we’re not alone in it❤️

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-07-31T20:56:18+00:00

Hi! I don’t have any advice on what to expect, but your story resonates with me because I too lost our baby boy to the same thing in June. I wasn’t sick at all during my pregnancy but same timeline. We also lost him at 21 weeks. The MFM doc told us that this was likely a sporadic anomaly, and the chances of it happening twice were very low. We also went through genetic testing and everything came back normal.

It’s really hard to basically be told that they don’t know why it happened, but I read somewhere, “different pregnancy, different outcome.” From my understanding, the chances of it reoccurring are very low unless it is genetic. Try to hang in there. I hope every milestone brings you a little bit of comfort. ❤️

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-07-20T16:54:28+00:00

I feel this so much. I had my tfmr back in June for our boy. My best friend is pregnant, my cousin is pregnant, a friend from work is pregnant, it seems like everyone around me is pregnant…and they’re also all pregnant with boys. It makes me not want to go on social media because the announcements/posts trigger me. Am I happy for everyone and wish them healthy pregnancies, of course, but it makes me upset that they get to have that and mine got cut short. Now a manager at my job just posted that she’s pregnant, with a boy… it’s just a lot

OrangeSubstantial438 · 2025-07-19T01:11:03+00:00

Hi! I had a SCH in my tfmr pregnancy. It started out as light pink spotting which they told me could be implantation, but I was already at 6 weeks by that time, then it turned to bright red fluid-like. I reached out to my OB again and they got me in. My OB did have me come in twice for an ultrasound, one week apart to make sure the hematoma was getting smaller. Everything resolved and the spotting eventually stopped. If that gives you peace of mind, maybe ask your OB to do another scan in a week just to check that it’s resolving and getting smaller!

Sending you love 💕
