re: back to back miscarriages?

Quoting Alyssa ♥'s Vincent:" i'm definitely going to bring up baby aspirin! i've always wanted twins lol. congrats!  "

I was definately double blessed. I didn't get my first viable pregnancy until I was 29. We didn't do the fertility treatment thing. We figured if I didn't get pregnant by 30, we would adopt. Well, we were looking into the process and BAM! lol My mom is a twin so I guess I got the "lucky" gene. I am not going to lie, most of the time I wish they weren't twins. People treated them like a public display when they were younger. Now that they are 4, the novelty has worn off (thankfully) but those in our circle still treat them as a package. They are fraternal and very different in every way including looks. One has blonde hair and blue eyes, the other is a brown eyed brunette. One likes to wear jeans all the time but is girly to the sense she doesn't like to be dirty or do boy things. The other will get down and dirty in the mud but she has to do it with a tutu on. lol

Keep the faith. When it is supposed to happen it will. I went years without so much as a faint line after 3 m/c. Had the twins, 2 more and my son. It all works how it should. The hardest part is relaxing and going with the flow.

I will recommend you talk to someone. It helps to have someone to talk to about this and to have someone help you deal with the emotions. A friend who has miscarriages like I do was extremely angry towards people who were pregnant until she started seeing someone. She calmed down a lot and realized that just because they have no problems getting pregnant, does not make them the enemy. I never really got angry at others, except those that are on drugs while pregnant, for having kids. I only wish I had seen someone to cope because when I was pregnant with my daughter I worried the entire pregnancy and I couldn't fully enjoy it. By the time she was born depression had kicked it. I "ignored" that too and I shouldn't have. So I do recommend talking to someone to help you deal. I wish I did.

I take like 9 pills a day and I'm totally happy to continue til May. Not that much work, honestly, just fill my medicine dispenser (a little opening for each day) and take them before bed. Insert progesterone 2x/day

And I am switching to once a week injection of progesterone because I need it to strengthen my cervix because I have incompetent cervix (unrelated to 5 of my 6 losses---all 5 of those were first or early 2nd tri losses)

I should also mention I was on bed and pelvic rest from the time I found out until I was 37wks. I kept having preterm labor from 18wks on.   So I think the combination of the cream, aspirin and the bed/pelvic rest helped.

I believe the baby aspirin is the only reason I have made it past 6 weeks. My OB and peri both say it can't hurt, only help."</blockquote>




That's why they have me on it too. Just told me to try it and see. I'll never TTC without it again! Not after having success at least getting past the first trimester the first time on it after so many losses. Progesterone + aspirin = Pregnant P! Woot!

Do you test your blood sugars everyday?

I did in my third pregnancy. I don't anymore. My a1c is fine too.
