"For my son and spouse who developed CA later in life after successful treatment ..." (sandy4)

MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

It has been 11 weeks since my 3rd miscarriage in 2 years. I got married in January and soon after found out I was 5 weeks pregnant! I was estatic because my prior pregnancies did not even make it to 7 weeks and at 7 weeks we figured we were past the miscarriage point.

Unfortunately at 8 weeks I miscarried once again. My husband and I were both devastated. I tried to "shrug"

it off and did not do what I did in the past I did not stay in bed for a week or two and cry. I cried of course but I tried to not do it constantly and immediately fostered 3 puppies to keep my mind off of things.

Now 11 weeks later I finally got my first period since that only last 3 days and im having pregnancy symptoms. I am scared s***less. I do not want to be pregnant again this soon.

When I miscarried the last time they finally figured out what the issue is. Basically (I cannot remember the long term for it) I clot too much and the blood does not get through the placenta once it attatches to the baby causing it to die a slow death.

I am having nightmares and everything. I have that pang now whenever one of my friends talk about their pregnancy 3 of them got pregnant the same time I did!

I can't help but wonder if I had insisted on blood tests after my second miscarriage if I could have prevented this. I cannot talk to my husband about it cause he is bi-polar and more often than not in a bad phase of his illness.

So when I joined here for a bi-polar spouse group and found this one I was so relieved. I finally have people who understand what I am going through that I can talk to.

God bless this group.

Welcome to the group Hayes, how are you doing?

Since you clot so easily, have you asked about something you can take that will help the blood flow more easily to your baby? That would be my first starting point.

How did your husband handle the loss? I know you said he was devastated, but how did he react?

If you need me, I am here. Message me or leave a post.

He at first was upset and than within the day he was having friends over and playing video games. I got pissed because I needed him at the time but I did not push because as I said he has bi-polar. Oh and yeah I forgot to mention they have me on an aspirin a day and than possibly blood thinners once I do get pregnant again.

Oh okay. That may be a good thing for you in future pregnancies. I'm not sure what to tell you about your husband, maybe that is his way to deal with this, even though it isn't yours....

lol yeah it is a difficult situation. Just tiresome. At this point I am the one holding our relationship together with his mental health issues, and it is all just getting to me.

Thanks for the reply though. Your great Smile

your not out of the miscarriage risk till 10 to 14 weeks

is there a medication they can give you

we are so happy to have you and welcome

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

I hope they get you on the right kind of medicine to help you. I take a baby aspirin daily just because I figure it can't hurt. I believe there are certain diet and lifestyle factors that can help improve your chances. *hugs* I hope the blood thinners help too. I do know with what your problem is the odds of having a successful conception after treatment are very high so I hope that give you some hope. Smile
