Hey ladies, I am only on here for support since I need to wait another Cycle before we try again. I wanted to tell you my experience so you guys have an Idea what I experienced. On Oct 19th I was supposed to get AF however never showed and was having all kinds of pregnancy symptoms, from nausea to lower back pain to dizziness and sore boobs. So decided it was time to test and low and behold I got a BFP on Fer. Saturday I decided I would test again just to make sure and sure enough was still there and a bit darker. Sunday we had plans to do a fall photo shoot. I decided that was when I was going to tell my Husband, He was so happy and so was I was just so magical. Monday We decided we where only going to tell a few friends and we where going to wait till Christmas to tell family (glad we did)
So for some reason I had the feeling something was going on that wasn't right so I kept testing. Plus I like to pee on things LOL. Well the test was getting lighter and lighter as days passed. wasn't sure if it was because my pee was Diluted or not (found out it wasn't) Come Sunday I went out with my mom and Decided in secret I was going to tell her we where expecting. she was elated with joy. That afternoon I felt a weird twinge in my stomach on left and right side, almost like contractions. I went home and was spotting. There was no pain associated with the light twinges I thought it was just my muscles. So never thought anything of it. Monday morning I was still spotting and decided I was going to go to work, 3 hours later I was bleeding full force with clots. I went to the hospital and sure enough I was miscarrying. It sucks but husband and I are not giving up. Just those words that will haunt me forever, your pregnancy is terminated. ... trying not to cry today since I am back to work but very hard, We will get our second baby hopefully.

@itsanna I'm sooo sorry How could this happen. I was so sure you did everything right!! I'm so frustrated for you. You're absolutely allowed to have a good cry and become a hermit for a while if you need to. Do what you need to do. You mentioned you get to see your OB right? Hopefully you can get some answers soon. *Hugs*

@muffin this is heartbreaking. Im so sorry for your loss. I applaud your attitude. That baby is now your little angel for sure.
@confuzed i have just been really busy with baby and halloween and planning a trip.
@itsAna you are my African sister. I am from Cameroon but I now live in the States. Anyway, i feel really sad for you as well. I was sure it was your month. Cry, drink some wine or something then get back at it.
I am praying for all of us to get our holidays babies.

@muffin I'm so sorry to hear. That's absolutely heartbreaking. I'm so happy that you're forging on and pushing through despite your situation. Really crossing my fingers for your rainbow baby.
@itsanna do what you need to do and let loose and enjoy life. You deserve it. I think its a good idea to try and reduce stress anyway you can especially after trying for a while.

I agree stress affects things so much. When we were TTC our #1, it took us about 8 months to get pregnant (I think I had a CP in those 8 months but otherwise nothing). I ended up getting pregnant on the cycle I was taking a break. My husband was travelling during my fertile week so I figured there was no way it would happen and took a break from temping. I ended up ovulating late that cycle but didn't know it (my cycle were pretty much the same every month but somehow I ovulated almost a week late) and we conceived the day my husband got back from his trip. So I really think it is amazing how much good relaxing a bit can do!!

Feeling out feeling depressed. No AF spotting like I normally have a CD 26 but made the mistake of testing and not first morning pee either the test was all done wrong it wasnt working. I dont think I peed enough so I repeed on it and it showed up I feel fat on top of all this and I just want to hide in a corner. Plus today I found some of my so's medical history where he had hormone pellets insemination down in 2016 for low testosterone. Hes not mentioned this at all to me.
