Lost the Baby :(

[roziecakes 20]

Well, everyone, this pregnancy was not meant to be. My husband and I were visiting Denver this week, and I started to have spotting and cramping, so I went to the ER. Ultrasound showed no heartbeat, and my blood work was pretty funky.

I've had problems with PCOS and hypothyroidism since I was a teenager, so I know that it was related to that, even though I'm ten million times healthier than I used to be. My progesterone was too low to sustain a healthy pregnancy, and I had too much testosterone in my blood; typical of PCOS.

Anyhoo, I'm seeing my regular doctor here in Oregon and she's going to put me on a progesterone supplement and give me supplements to regulate the amount of testosterone in my blood. I will also going to be taking Low estrogen birth control pills so that this doesn't happen again until I'm healthy and ready!

This is sad, but I feel like everything happens for a reason, and the whole experience was amazing, eye opening, and a true learning experience that has brought me and my husband closer together. I feel like it was a blessing even if it ended badly. We are armed now with knowledge and hope.

Thanks everyone for your support! It really means a lot to me. Onward with my journey towards optimum health!

Roz, I'm really sorry for your loss. But as you say, things happen for a reason. As your weight loss journey continues, and you get even more healthy, here's hoping you have the successful pregnancy you want. Good luck!

I lost a child due to miscarriage myself. It is a tough thing. Even 16 years later I still think who that child would have become. You have my deepest sympathy.

So sorry to hear that Roz. Best wishes for moving forward.

I, too, have suffered a miscarriage and know the loss. You have the right attitude because there was a reason for this. I went on 2 have 2 healthy boys who are now teenagers! I wonder if the lost child was a girl or boy and what it would be like to have 3 children

God bless you and your husband. I will put you on my prayer list.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I think Dave is right. You'll just keep getting healthier and healthier. God bless.

Although I did not have my band, I did have a miscairraige(is that how you spell it?) and an early birth at 20 wks and 5 days in which the baby did not make it because she was underdeveloped. It sure does suck, but just remember to keep up with your positive attitude. For me it helps to have a momento of some kind to remember them by. The hospital I was at gave us a keepsake box of her feet prints and such. Good luck in the future, I am sure things will go well for you!

Like reading a page from my own diary...I'm so sorry. I tried for 4 years before I was actually able to bring my first daughter into the world...I will tell you what my doctor told me..........."if you got pregnant once, then you can get pregnant again" it was true. Its better than those that never are able to concive. Keep trying to loose weight and to be the healthiest you can be....it does make a difference.

I just hate that my daughter at 17 has been given the same diagnosis. And was told children would be difficult........I told her that what they told me...and that God gets to make thise decisions.

Good Luck
