Lost the Baby :(



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
