I sent you a friend's request for being a Ph. D. My father was one in Analytical Chemistry (from State University of Ghent, Belgium) while I am having an M.Sc. in chemistry. May you have a great day!

A couple of days after everything had happened I posted a bullentin on my myspace page explaining what happened. I told people I wasn't up for talking and they could email all they wanted but to please give me a couple of days. After that I posted again and told everyone that I was up for talking, but not to ask a million questions because I couldn't handle that. I made it clear that if I brought it up then I was at a point where I could handle discussing it and if I didn't to leave it alone. I even said, please call and babble about what's going on in life, so I don't feel so disconnected. I listed a bunch of saying that people have said or emailed and told people how these things made me feel. And said sometimes the best thing you can say is it sucks and I am sorry and leave it at that. I know everyone handles everything differentlyn but when two of these friends went through their miscarriages I was on call for them 24/7 bc I wanted them to know someone cared. And the fact that it is too hard for them to deal, just makes me so damn angry!!

Thanks for your advice. I see you are in genetics--you must have been so scared during your pregnancies with all your knowledge of what can go wrong. My husband is a genetic counselor and I'm a nurse and we're constantly paranoid about everything, we just know too much! I'm very glad to see that you did have a healthy baby. Thanks for your support.
Thanks
Thank you!! Pregnancy is so nerve-wracking for us!!!! But we are so excited :)

Hi hun!! :)
As you have been through a previous term pregnancy, I would suggest you are not in need of the progesterone suppliments (I had to take troches, pessaries and injections!) I do need them or I miscarry, my levels never reach the normal range that is able to maintain pregnancy unfortunately. It does not make for a very nice experience of pregnancy!! But - so grateful that God sent us to a fertility specialist who knew about administering progesterone! It is extremely rare to need it past the 10th week, even more rare to need it throughout the whole pregnancy. We were just special ;)

Had a great pregnancy and delivery and feel that being well informed makes it a lot less scary.
