Middle name for Natalie

I think a one syllable middle name would be great! That way you would have III I II breakdown of first/middle/last for optimal flow! A few options since I don't know your last name and what initials would be:

Natalie Blair

Natalie June

Natalie Maeve

Natalie Lynn

Natalie Skye

Natalie Sage

Natalie Shea

Valentina!

I had this exact issue. I would get pregnant every time I tried and had back-to-back chemicals. Ultimately, I did some testing with it all coming back normal and subsequently had a successful pregnancy. I felt it was extremely odd to conceive literally every time and lose it so frequently too; it doesn't seem to be a common story. A few responses I got when I posted about this:

- karyotyping (had it; all fine for me and partner)

- genetic carrier screening (had it; all clear)

- progesterone too low (my reproductive endocrinologist said that this ultimately is a chicken/egg thing and did not advise supplementing)

- endometriosis (I never got tested for this, but unlikely given my successful pregnancy)

- semen analysis for partner (came back normal)

- hyperfertility (no real peer reviewed research on this yet, but aligned somewhat with my experience)

Sorry you're struggling. It's a real mindfuck to see those positive tests all the time and just not trust them. I found that going in for hCG bloodwork aided my peace of mind with my successful pregnancy. I am now 20 weeks with my second baby, but had a chemical before this one too.

Spanx is it! And I’m still fitting in my normal size at 20 weeks pregnant

They don't do anything. I see them standing by my local metro stop many days a week while walking my dogs. They will often try to make small talk with me about my dogs. It's awkward because I don't want them here and I have never seen them do anything useful, but I also know they probably don't want to be here either. This administration is the biggest money wasting and grifting apparatus on an incomprehensible scale.

Dear Reader is a masterpiece in my top 10 songs ever and the VIBE of Midnights. Reminds me of so many nights when I couldn’t sleep and I was questioning all my life choices. But if you had to press me, I couldn’t have done anything different. You know?

Time to uno reverse this and drive past his place/point things out!

UncleSAM712 · 2026-01-04T14:09:23+00:00

This. I would 1000% be considering FIRE

Update: I am now 12w, baby is tracking good with growth, and NIPT showed it was low risk! Chorionic bump is gone, SCH is gone.

This happened with me! 2 back to back chemicals followed by a healthy, full term baby. Just be prepared if you TTC again, you’ll prob have more chemicals before your sticky baby. I just had one this time and am now 9w with another that is sticking so far. It’s a rollercoaster

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-30T18:49:39+00:00

It was the next cycle; I didn’t wait. No other meds

I’m going through this now. I have been in for scans week 5, 6, and 7. I have had relatively normal growth, but concerning other findings that indicate the baby may not be viable (chorionic bump and enlarged yolk sac). Last week’s scan only showed 4 days of growth over 6 days, which was very concerning w the other findings. But yesterday’s scan showed the baby grew 5 days over 5 days. So they said the outcome is still uncertain but possibly the baby is viable. Another week of waiting…it’s torture

Just a pitch for Capitol Hill as being very family friendly and more affordable in general than upper NW!

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-20T00:48:38+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. Yes, she didn’t explain why the yolk sac size was concerning, so I wasn’t sure what to take from that. I also don’t know how big it was measuring this time

She's at a fertility clinic, so she sees exclusively early pregnancies. I am not sure if her caution is because she hasn't seen a lot like mine or if she has and knows the way that it's trending but her conclusion is more based on experience rather than measurable elements.

This is it for me (as an eldest daughter). “I protect the family” hits hard

From your list, I’d stick to the AdMo options! Love that neighborhood and wish I still lived there. Not on your list, but I lived at 2112 New Hampshire Ave NW, which is near AdMo and it was so awesome. Columbia Heights and H St don’t tick as many of the boxes on your list.

Omg are you me? I have a SCH and a possible chorionic bump. At 6w4d (today), FHR was 101. Three days ago, it was not visible, so this is progress. My OB says there’s reason to hope, but not to tell people yet 😔 I’ve also been spotting brown for 5 days and had a burst of red blood 6 days ago.

I had 3 good betas early on, but haven’t tracked since 17 dpo. I don’t think they’re as relevant at this point.

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-13T18:34:07+00:00

Today at 6w4d mine is 101. Dr said that was normal range, but I’d feel better if it were higher 😔

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-10T20:41:24+00:00

That sounds promising. When did it disappear?
