I had my Homocysteine Levels checked again last Thursday, to see if I have an increased chance of clotting. The results came back normal. I was actually a little upset only because we still don't know why I miscarried. I am ok with it though. I have come to terms that it just wasn't my time. Anyways, she is still putting me on 81mg. of baby Aperin a day to be on the safe side. I am going to get some tomorrow. Hopefully, the next time we do decide to TTC, everything will go so much better.
Thank you all for helping through this. I still have days where I am down, but for the most part, I have happy days. I couldn't have gotten through this if it weren't for my family, friends, and all of my friends here.

Sorry that you dont have a definate reason for your miscarriage but it does point to you having a normal, no problem pregnancy next time around. Good luck when you decide you are ready to TTC.

I'm so sorry Rayanne. I always fear miscarriages because they are at a high enough rate (IMO). About 15% of known pregnancies result in miscarriages. That doesn't even include women who miscarry before finding out they are pregnant and for the most part, they never even know. I know it will happen for you when the timing is right. I had a miscarriage back in 2001 (obviously an unplanned pregnancy with DH) and while it was an emotional situation, I can look back now and know it was for the best. Everything happens for a reason. Just know that I will be anxiously waiting here for your next pregnancy announcement and I will be excited right along with you. (((HUGS))) Everything will be alright. Rylee will get her chance to get a big sister.

I'm sorry Rayanne. I miscarried in 2003 and there were never any tests done because we were out of the country at the time. It is a difficult experience, but we always looked at it as everything happens for a reason - even if it's not always understood. And now I look back and think I wouldn't have my Natalie if I hadn't miscarried. It's such a strange thing. Melissa is right about the # of miscarriages. It's just so common, but that doesn't make it any easier I know. Best of luck to you when the time is right!

Rayannne big hugs your way. Everything happens for a reason most of the time we never now why. but it hurts all the same. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Have they said when you can try again.

Rayanne, even though you don't have all the answers, at least the test was done. I know it's got to be difficult in a world of such advanced medical technology, but sometimes bad things just happen. I'll keep you in my prayers - I know you are blessed and will continue to be blessed.

Sorry you don't have any resolutions yet, sweetie. Did they do a chromosomal check?

By Rayanne on Friday, December 9, 2005 - 08:03 am:

We can start trying now if we want to, but we aren't ready yet. I want to lose some weight before we try again. Maybe next summer, we will start trying again.

Heidi, they did a chromosomal check and they didn't find anything abnormal. I guess I was expecting some answers. It's ok though. I know that my time will come again.

Thanks Candis, I do know where to reach you girl. ((((HUGS))))

YOu know, Rayanne, this just made me remember something. When my DD was around a year, I casually mentioned to my OB/GYN that we were thinking of TTC again within the next year. She put on me on prenatal vitamins right then and there. When I told her we weren't going to start right away, she said all the better. I guess it's best to build up all of those vitamins way in advance and that lessens the risk of miscarriage and birth defects. Something you might as you dr. about.

I'm sorry all of this has happened to you.

By Rayanne on Friday, December 9, 2005 - 03:39 pm:

Thanks hun. I was on prenatals though, and I am still on them. Now I am on new ones though. They are Duet DHA. The DHA is supposed to be really good for my brain and the babies, so we will see how this one does.
