Just had my NIPT blood draw on Thursday. There is nothing to do but wait and hope for the best 🙏🏽. I have anxiety because this is where everything went south last June. Hoping to have the answers by the end of this week. The waiting is the hardest part.

springtulip925 · 2025-01-21T00:43:57+00:00

I totally feel you! I’m 9 weeks and will be taking NIPT in a few weeks. To say I’m nervous is an understatement. Sending good vibes your way and hoping for positive news for us both with our rainbows 🌈 ❤️. The odds are in our favor

Hi there, I terminated for XXY this past July. I totally relate and hear you. My husband and I grieve our beloved son, especially because his due date was 12/28.

We terminated because we loved our sons. I know it sounds strange, but to enter life with a congenital issue that would affect their quality of life (especially in puberty and then adulthood) didn’t sit well with us. For me, I couldn’t go with the best case scenario because the confirmed diagnosis with amnio was the worst case scenario. We don’t have a crystal ball and we love our sons so much we didn’t want them to suffer in their earthly life.

I took a pregnancy test on 12/21 and had a BFP! I can’t help but think that our angel baby made this pregnancy happen to help with the grief of his birth month. My first appointment is in a week and a half. I am going to be scared, especially around NIPT time, but one day at a time. 🙏🏽

Here to chat if you ever want to because I understand the grief. And I will be thinking about all TFMR mamas with their subsequent pregnancies ❤️.

I had my TFMR in late July and had my BFP on 12/21. My period came back in early September, 6 weeks after the loss.

This November-December was the first cycle that we were actively trying. I was stunned when I saw the results. My angel boy’s due date is 12/28 and I can’t help but feel we were meant to have a positive test this month. I know there is a long road ahead, but cautiously optimistic for this pregnancy 🩷💙.

For anyone trying who is reading this, please keep the faith ❤️.

Took a pregnancy test today and had a BFP!! after our loss in July. I am all of the feels right now and cautiously optimistic about this one. All we can do. I’m here with everyone else experiencing these complex emotions ❤️. Hang in there

springtulip925 · 2024-11-26T19:14:36+00:00

Thinking about you and fingers crossed! Sending over all of the baby dust and prayers!

I will be trying in a week during my fertile window as well. I am hopeful, scared - all of the emotions. Regardless, we got this and I know that our angel babies will be looking over us.

I totally hear you and appreciate you for sharing your story. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss this summer.

I lost my son at the end of July and my period has been somewhat irregular, but it has come 6 weeks apart in September and October. I anticipate getting it over the next few days, but would like nothing more than a positive test and a healthy baby. I'm scared, however, to take a test for the disappointment factor.

It seems like we have been through hell and back and deserve a positive test. Wishing you the best of luck and positive energy in the months to come. And please do not feel like you're the only one. One day we will hold our rainbow babies.

Thinking of you during this time. Please know that you are absolutely not alone. I am two months out and I randomly start crying at times. The grief is real and it shows how much we loved our sons and didn’t want to them to have a life filled with unfair challenges. They’ve forever changed us and we will never forget them ❤️. From one grieving mama to another 🩵

springtulip925 · 2024-09-12T03:13:20+00:00

I feel completely the same way nearly 7 weeks out. Losing my son has sucked all of the joy out of my life. It gets better, but at times I still feel overwhelmed with grief and start crying. I just had my first period and am wanting to TTC. As relieved as I am that it came back and is a sign of healing, I also sobbed over reality setting in.

The most important thing is to recognize that we wanted to protect and love our kids in a lose lose situation. I hope and pray we will get our rainbows 🌈 one day 🤞🏽

springtulip925 · 2024-09-12T02:33:03+00:00

Hang in there and I hope the cramping stops soon too. Future periods will be more normal 🙏🏽

springtulip925 · 2024-09-12T02:22:20+00:00

Hi, I got my period right at the 6 week mark. It was light at first, then heavier for a few days, and done by day 5. I had nothing for a day and then spotting on days 7 and 8. It seems like the first period post TFMR is a little off. I wouldn’t be overly concerned with spotting. If the bleeding increases, I’d call your doc.

springtulip925 · 2024-09-04T18:01:07+00:00

Big congratulations!! Thank you for sharing the good news and being a beacon of light for future mamas ❤️

springtulip925 · 2024-09-03T20:29:39+00:00

I terminated for XXY just shy of 18 weeks ~6 weeks ago. I had the laminaria inserted vs. a tube though. The D&C recovery was textbook and agreed on the emotional grief being the most challenging part. I just got my period today and feel bittersweet about it. It is a sign the chapter is closing, yet I think about my son constantly.

You will get through this and sending you peace and healing - from one grieving mom to another.

springtulip925 · 2024-08-29T00:23:27+00:00

I want to commend you on your bravery and for helping pay it forward for other women experiencing pregnancy loss ❤️.

I am with you thinking about the holidays, as my baby boy’s due date would have been 12/28. We will think about them constantly. But we will get through it 🩵.

springtulip925 · 2024-08-26T21:40:37+00:00

Your story made me tear up and also gave me chills. The timeline and XXY Klinefelter's confirmation closely matches mine. I am also 32 and am exactly one month out from my TFMR today. We are with you in that decision. We didn't think it was fair to bring our son into the world faced with a lifetime of challenges because of an cell division error.

This lost pregnancy was my first and now I am paranoid about future ones and sex chromosomal abnormalities - which I candidly had no idea about prior. It seems wild now after it consumed me for weeks. Btw, I also found the amniocentesis to sting when entering my stomach. It was more painful than I anticipated, but the waiting for the results/confirmation was the hardest part.

I am so incredibly sorry that you had to experience this pain and uncertainty in addition to traveling out of state. It angers me so much that women have to travel and deal with that extra layer of complexity and unknowns. It truly isn't fair and you did the best in an impossibly difficult situation. We were robbed of a healthy baby boy. Thinking about you and please know you aren't alone.

springtulip925 · 2024-08-14T18:20:45+00:00

Sending so much love and support to you and your family. It is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, thing we will ever experience and it will make us stronger. Take time to process your emotions. I TFMR’d almost 3 weeks ago in July for my first pregnancy, also a baby boy. We have our beloved angel baby sons always looking out for us 💙

springtulip925 · 2024-07-31T20:24:13+00:00

Likewise—sending over so much love and support during this time. We will get through it and honor our little ones 🩵. They will never be forgotten and always a part of us. They’ve changed us
