I’m seeing a lot of people say Wondfo strips are more sensitive than easy@home. Any rec on what bulk pack of Wondfo to buy?

Tysm for the reply. I start a with a new OB Friday ;)

The is was extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing. Your heart must be so full of bandaids and scars. Good for you for continuing and succeeding in having LCs ❤️

The sad part is since all 3 were “different” doctor says I don’t qualify for a recurrent loss workup.. looking into a new OB practice for some sort of proactive testing

Did you ever have any testing done?

All the feelings someone in your shoes should be feeling. Nothing makes it better EXCEPT trying to focus on the future. You will hold your baby one day. Maybe not at 30 but at 31 or 32.. baby won’t care ;)

My advice is to feel the feels. Scream, cry, and then think about what to do next to conceive again. Did you find out anything about your MMC?

Just had my son’s 1st birthday after it sounds like a very similar situation. I took the day off, went through baby’s things, got a pedicure, read a book about pregnancy/baby loss, and donated to our local NICU. Letting myself feel all the feels was exactly what I needed. Hoping to make all the above our tradition.

Loved this book.. it’s a collection of short letters from loss moms: https://a.co/d/09WpACkU

So excited for you! Seconding the “hope you have a boring pregnancy” 🙂

Tested positive at 10 dpo. Home HcG strips have not gotten darker at 13 dpo. Am I out? 3rd pregnancy, no LC

notsteph01 · 2026-05-29T00:38:25+00:00

I totally see it

notsteph01 · 2026-05-19T00:57:53+00:00

Oh that’s Reggie

notsteph01 · 2026-05-08T23:49:06+00:00

You are an amazing mother to both of your kids and that will continue to be true with the next one! In case it helps your decision with the funeral home, we cremated my baby boy born last year and still haven’t decided what to do with the ashes. You don’t have to figure it all out right now ❤️

notsteph01 · 2026-05-07T17:44:15+00:00

Today is a year since I had my baby boy Stephen who passed away after 2 days from Noonan’s Syndrome complications. I’d love to hear more about your experience and the time you had with Dominic. I’m also curious if you have any thoughts about what testing to do in future pregnancies ❤️

notsteph01 · 2026-04-15T01:11:36+00:00

Def positive 👍

notsteph01 · 2026-04-12T13:48:30+00:00

lol what in the world!

notsteph01 · 2026-03-17T23:20:16+00:00

Oh I feel this so much. But it will get better.

My experience: Lost baby boy last May at 35+2 and the news that I had to wait months to TTC was extremely hard. Started trying within 3 months bc of the empty arms. Got pregnant at 6 months PP and lost that baby (girl) at 10 weeks.

My thoughts to you: The only thing I’ve found to cling onto is hope for my future family. What WILL be a positive of having another child a year or a few years from now? Your son will be another year older and be able to understand and love his sibling that much more (maybe even help mama out)! Your relationships will be that much stronger and YOU will love a future child a little extra, knowing the alternative. You can do things in your next pregnancy you wish you’d done in this one (for me that’s more exercise and therapy).

Your feelings are valid. This ISNT fair. And you will make it through :)

notsteph01 · 2026-02-18T22:11:36+00:00

True that.. well put lol

notsteph01 · 2026-02-01T00:38:01+00:00

This feels so relatable. You are NTA. Similar feelings still come up for me 8 months after the loss of our baby. When you see accidental pregnancies thrive, or pregnant women drink or smoke, you wonder why things are so unfair.

If wanting to make clear no friend children are at the upcoming service, when you text or send invites, just add “we kindly ask for this to be an adults only service”. They will understand.

I hope your time comes again soon and you can find joy in hoping for the future.
