I'm only going to talk about this once - I don't want to make a big drama out of it or anything.<P>H and I are okay with everything, especially since I have such a fab doctor to help me out. There was nothing in the uterus - it looks like it may have been an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, and so it's better that I lost it now than later, when it could have done permanent damage. I also learned that 70% of pregs end in miscarriages (with how early you can get a positive result nowadays).<P>I can still get pregnant, it wasn't anything that I did, it just wasn't meant to be this time. We'll have another one, and we'll enjoy the process of "trying" for another one [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>My H and I are grateful for the support y'all gave us through this. Thank you. <p>[This message has been edited by Carolina Belle (edited March 16, 2001).]

I just wanted to say how sorry I am. I lost my first pregnancy at 12 weeks and I know how it feels. I've actually heard that 80% of diagnosed PGs miscarry so it's really common. 2 months later I was pregnant with my first and eveything went smoothly. Thinking of you.

Sorry. been there. 3 months later I was excpeting my YS son. There is a tiny bit of my heart that will always grieve for that baby that didn't make it but if she had I wouldn't have my YS, life wouldn't be complete with him, he is my joy. thinking of you

I don't know you, but the title caught my attention because I also had a miscarriage. It happened 12 years ago, and sometimes it still hurts.<P>I'm sorry for your loss.<P>You sound wonderful... but remember, you must grieve the loss too.<P>Best wishes,<P>Sheryl

I know the pain you are feeling. I had two miscarriages in a row, one at five weeks and one at almost 12 weeks. I guess you have to take comfort in knowing that there was a good reason for the pregnancy not to be viable, and in your case, it would have been dangerous for it to continue.<BR>Still, I know you feel a loss.<BR>It's surprising how many women have miscarriages and it's good to know you will be pregant AGAIN! I have two wonderful little boys now!<BR>Take your time. <BR>Lots of hugs and lots of prayers to you and your H.

CB:<P>My genuine sympathy to you and yours. You sound as though you're both bearing up reasonably well, which is good to hear, but I know it has to be a sad time. Good luck to you both in the future. Being childless, I've always thought that the trying was the funnest part . . . Take care.

cyber-hugs from me too. Since I can't have any more kids without some majorly unpleasant surgery, I gotta say I'm jealous! Keep trying, and trying, and trying! When you finally get a good one, sit him or her down in front of the keyboard and teach them about EN's and the POJA!

CB, I am so sorry to hear this ... glad that you are well, though and that you will be able to try again.<P>How is your husband dealing with it?

Dear Carolina Belle,<P>You have my deepest sympathy. I suffered three miscarriages before having my beloved two children so I know what you are experiencing. Even though you know that it wasn't meant to be, and it happens to so many of us, there is still tremendous pain and feeling of loss.<P>I named each of my three babies, bought a "coming home" outfit for them and placed them in boxes with their names so that they would always be part of my family.<P>God bless you and your H and give you strength to cope with this sad event.<P>love<BR>- heavenly

I'm sorry Carolina Belle. My first & last pregnancies resulted in early miscarriages. But I have 2 wonderful daughters, sometimes I have dreams where I have 4 daughters and the 2 I lost are growing up as well. It's very comforting for me.<P>{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{CB & H}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Thank you all so, so much.<P>I went back on birth control yesterday, after a long discussion with my H. He was and still is my rock through this, but he took it kind of hard also. We already have a beautiful 2-year-old son that we absolutely dote on, and we'll try again in about a year or so. We want to be as close to financially settled as possible before we try again.<P>Thanks again for all of the wonderful support...I don't know what I'd do if I hadn't found you guys!
