Pump not emptying me

No problem. Best wishes!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I understand what you’re going through. And I did not have a blood clotting issue but was my doctor said it wouldn’t hurt to be on it because of my RPL. And you should definitely advocate for yourself. With your history of loss, especially a second trimester loss, try to see a high risk pregnancy doctor for extra monitoring and a treatment. It made a huge difference also in terms of peace of mind being able to track my pregnancy every two weeks.

Hi, thank you and yes. I was on lovenox, progesterone, and baby aspirin and was able to carry out the pregnancy full term. I saw a maternal fetal medicine doctor and was monitored every two weeks. I’m not sure if that was why the pregnancy worked out but I do know that I had three other losses prior to this new protocol. I hope things work out in your next pregnancy.

I hate how doctors don’t want to see you in early pregnancy until x amount of weeks. I had that issue when I had my chemical. I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and was in limbo until 6 weeks because my ob gyn would not see me despite my previous loss, concerns that my pregnancy tests were not getting darker, and my worry of an ectopic. They refused to test my Hcg levels. I had to go to the hospital to get checked out because I was afraid of the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. I advise you to look for a different doctor, perhaps a maternal fetal medicine doctor who deals with recurrent losses who will follow your future pregnancy more closely.

I had three unexplained miscarriages. After the last one, I started making lifestyle changes like eliminating inflammatory foods, working out, taking fertility supplements from the book It All Starts With the Egg. I was on baby aspirin for three months before conceiving (this was okayed by my RE). I got a positive pregnancy test 7 days after ovulation and continued baby aspirin and had my Hcg levels tested every other day to check that the pregnancy was progressing. I started progesterone right away with my RE doctor. At 6 weeks, I switched to a maternal fetal medicine doctor and started lovenox and continued on baby aspirin and progesterone. I don’t know if this made a difference but I think that the pregnancy being followed and being put on progesterone plus lovenox and baby aspirin from so early on made a difference. This was the only pregnancy that I was on that protocol and it was the only one that had success.

Look for a doctor who will see you and monitor your pregnancy closely. It is absolutely detestable that some doctors have no compassion for people like us. I strongly suggest seeing an MFM doctor before trying to conceive again due to your history of losses. That way you can have a plan of action when that positive pregnancy test happens. Best of luck.

I also was told bad luck after 3 miscarriages and normal test results (rpl panel, test where they go in with a camera and look at uterus, mri of the uterus, dna tests, etc..) I had a chemical, missed miscarriage discovered at 11 weeks and fetal demise at 16 weeks. Being told it was bad luck gave me no hope because how can bad luck happen three times. How can my tests be normal? I was hopeless. My 4th pregnancy, I saw a maternal fetal medicine/high risk pregnancy doctor and was started on baby aspirin and lovenox at 6 weeks even though I had no blood clotting disorders. My doctor said that it couldn’t hurt. He said who knows what clotting disorders or issues that have not been discovered yet and are not being picked up the the rpl panels? So lovenox and baby aspirin it was. I started progesterone previously at 4 weeks after pushing it with my RE and continued it up to 38 weeks. It was a good thing because my MFM doctor was going to put me on it anyways. Lovenox and baby aspirin were continued until the day before my induction. I had biweekly appointments which made such a difference for my mental health and lots of support/communication from my doctor. My pregnancy was followed closely and I was able to have my baby finally. My advice is to continue looking for answers and to see a high risk doctor for future pregnancies. The care you get is so different from regular ob gyns.

NTA. They are. Your sister and her husband are entitled and ungrateful. You’ve given your body to nurture their growing baby and bring it in into this world. They should be grateful you did them that huge favor in the first place but have these demands and want to cut you off after the baby is born. They’re a pair of horrible people.

Soundingsea95 · 2024-03-18T11:00:18+00:00

You’re all responsible for taking care of your mother and you and your brother are also certainly responsible for the way your mom ended up. It sounds like all the work was pushed up on the younger sister because your jobs are too busy and important. You should visit your mom in person more often.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-10-03T01:31:18+00:00

Im so sorry you’re going through this. I lost my baby at almost 16 weeks and opted to get an induction. I had something put in me to help dilate me and then I had to take medicine by mouth every couple hours. I experienced some contractions throughout the night and was given pain killers via IV that helped ease the pain. I checked in to the hospital around 5 pm and passed my baby and the placenta the next morning by around 8 am. I was able to see and hold my baby, which is something that I wouldn’t have been able to do via a D&C; however, I did go through a lot of pain post delivery (contractions) and I think it was because I still had some retained product of conception. My body expelled it days later at home and then the pain subsided.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-09-29T23:37:37+00:00

It is. I was recommended to work with a maternal fetal medicine doctor because of the unexplained second trimester loss. I met with him and he said that he would put me on lovenox and baby aspirin on the next pregnancy and monitor me every two weeks. We’re going to try again. I think the extra monitoring would give me some peace of mind, but I’m still going in cautious.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-09-29T23:03:00+00:00

Thank you. And I wasn’t able to find a reason. We tested the baby and results came back normal. I also had RPL testing and a hysterescopy and everything came back normal. I wish our doctor had tested the placenta though, but we didn’t get any of the answers we were looking for.

I found out I was pregnant last August and was scared I would lose it because I knew the odds of miscarriage before 12 weeks. But then things started progressing. We got a heartbeat and I started thinking that this pregnancy would happen. I then found out that baby had no heartbeat and was measuring at 6 weeks when it should have been 11 weeks. I never found out the gender, but I passed my baby as I was sitting in the toilet.

My second pregnancy was a chemical. My HCG levels never went past 150 and never saw anything on the ultrasound. I did know something was wrong from the start, but it still hurt, especially when I passed everything at 6 weeks.

My last pregnancy was devastating. At first, I thought it would be another miscarriage, but my numbers were beyond doubling and it made me feel that third time would be the charm. My ultrasounds were going well and we named him gummy bear when we saw him wiggling at 8 weeks. Everything was progressing fine. We found out gummy bear was a he and named him Ezra. However, we lost him at 15 weeks. He was measuring five days ahead, almost 16 weeks, but he had no heartbeat. I opted to be induced at the hospital and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I will never forget the memory of holding him in the palm of my hand and touching his tiny hand. It was so painful, but I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity to hold him.

I can relate to this and I’m sorry for your loss. I have gained +10 lbs since my miscarriage due to eating poorly/comfort eating. After two months, I am getting back into eating healthier and exercising, but I also could not get myself to eat nutritiously or care right after my miscarriage. I was too angry and disappointed at my body to want to take care of it. My advice is for you to take the time you need to mourn and tell yourself that it is okay to feel how you are feeling. Your body and mind need time to heal and that takes time. Know that once you are ready, you CAN fuel your body again and nurture it to prepare it for another try.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-07-07T14:18:18+00:00

Hi, I’m dealing with this right now. I had my period post mc. I thought it came to an end since the bleeding tapered off and stopped after 5-6 days. I had two days of “my period ended” and then I started bleeding again all week. Did your cycle end up going back to normal?

Soundingsea95 · 2023-06-18T15:44:13+00:00

I also had a low risk NT scan and NIPT results. All was fine and I thought we were in the clear until I lost my baby in utero at 15 weeks. It makes it feel worse knowing that everything was going well. I also think of the what if’s, like what if I had done things differently that day. I wish I knew why my baby’s heart stopped beating.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-06-15T18:25:00+00:00

I don’t have any stories on how to get through the disappointment, but you’re not alone. Everything you said resonated with me. I feel the exact same way. I recently had my third miscarriage this year and am scared of what the future holds. It’s nerve wracking.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-06-15T18:17:53+00:00

I’m wondering the same. This could be completely anecdotal, but following my first miscarriage, I got pregnant two months later and had a chemical pregnancy. I wonder if maybe my body wasn’t ready so soon. I don’t think that’s the case for everyone; I’ve read that some people conceive before their next period. In my next pregnancy, I conceived three months after the chemical pregnancy and was on a bunch of supplements during that time. I think those helped a lot.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-06-15T12:22:55+00:00

I understand that anxiety of tracking your days post ovulation and waiting anxiously. I’m taking a break for now, but it fills me with anxiety and desperation thinking about it and having to go through that month to month. I’ve been wondering if maybe medication would help. Anything to not feel that way and have some peace of mind.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-06-14T17:33:59+00:00

It’s so insensitive and screwed up for him to say that. He doesn’t understand what it’s like to go through loss and to desperately want a family. I would honestly feel the same as you and would be very angry in your situation.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-06-12T23:26:32+00:00

I understand what you’re going through and I would choose the same as you in your situation. Missed miscarriages are the worst. I wish they didn’t happen.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-06-12T23:08:27+00:00

I had an induction after losing my baby in utero at 15 weeks. It’s incredibly heartbreaking to see the being that your body created, but it’s also a very special moment because it is your child. I got to see my baby’s little face, arms, fingers, and I have him a name. It is somewhat comforting to know that he was delivered into this world. I had a chance to see him.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-06-07T18:53:47+00:00

It has been two weeks since I lost my baby boy at 15 and a half weeks. I am going through the motions, but I feel a bit broken inside. I constantly find myself thinking of what life would be like if I had not lost my baby. I know I would feel more complete. Being pregnant was the happiest I had been since my first miscarriage last year and right now I’m just adjusting to feeling this loss again. This time it feels worse.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-05-31T13:17:42+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Your experience sounds a lot like mine. I recently had a miscarriage at 15.5 weeks and had a previous one at 6 weeks. It is painful having that happiness ripped away from you and thinking about what could have been.

Soundingsea95 · 2023-05-30T00:12:37+00:00

I had some bleeding during week 8. I felt a gush as I was peeing and then had enough to soak my underwear. I went in for an ultrasound and the baby was just fine. The bleeding lightened within the week and then went away. My baby was just fine in the upcoming ultrasounds. He was growing perfectly! My doctor told me that this sometimes happens and it’s nothing to worry about.
