    • About Me

      39 yr old female with a Hx of 4 m/c. I have an amazing 3 yr old girl who is the centre of my universe. We both love life. My partner and I would love to add another addition to our family. The dream is starting to get fuzzy, however, as the path has not been as smooth as I first thought....many ups and downs.

      From kerryrose November 12

      Hi.
      Just wondering how you are doing. Saw your status. I can relate. A few weeks ago I was trying to decide if it was more stressful to worry about whether or not I will get pregnant, or when pregnant, whether or not I will miscarry.

      I got the methotraxate Tuesday, so need to be followed closely.

      I actually called a few other drs around here. And called some adoption agencies today. Just wondering what the process and timeline would be.

      I hope you are doing well. You know that the prize at the end is worth it! I started reading To Full Term and am liking it so far.

      Thinking of you. You are not alone in this, Kerry

      I am just a week late. My levels were rising a few days ago, but really slowly. They said that prog is high, and I am not close to mc. I think I have to go back tomorrow or Friday. I want to get this over with and move on!

      Hi. Your night doesn't sound lonely. It sounds cozy!

      I hope you get some answers from your karyotyping and thyroid testing. We have done them, but everything is "normal" there.

      I hope you DON'T get your period tomorrow.
      (Although last month, damn AF was a day late, and I was sort of wondering.)

      Let me know how you are doing. It's a journey, and this is just a bump in an otherwise happy road.

      Okay... chill!
      There is no reason to be down right now.
      I have had negative tests the day my pd was due, and two healthy boys with each.
      I drink lots of water, and that affected my results.

      You and I could write the book on miscarriage, but just wait this one out. Wondering about the possibility is still nice for a day or two , right?

      I had the sore boobage with my two most recent mc. Each pregnancy is different.

      Which pg test did you use? Was it a 25 ml test? Some only detect 50. Also, was it a stick test that you pee on? The dropper tests seem less accurate.

      When is AF due to arrive? Do you have that yucky crampy feeling? That is how I knew last month was a bust for us.

      Good luck. Hang in there, Kerry
