Guest guest Posted April 8, 2000 Report Share Posted April 8, 2000 Jerelyn, First of all I'm sorry for your loss. Secondly, I'm glad that you found us, you have a whole group of ladies now that completely understand what you are going through. The emotional roller coaster is tough. I think the hardest times for me was up to about four months after my ep and you will be happy to hear that things started to even out after that. I'm not saying I still didn't have bad days, I did (I still do), but for the most part I started feeling stronger. It's a great comfort to know that the women here have been through the exact same experience and they will be able to offer you a wealth of information and more importantly comfort. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Big hug, Jo-Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2000 Report Share Posted April 9, 2000 Tq, I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am about your terrible experience. Losing a baby is hard even with the support of the father, especially when your health has been compromised like yours has. i want to welcome you to the group. There are wonderful ladies here with similar stories and we will be here for you. My ectopic was also in March, I did not have to have the surgury, I had methotrexate which has been working sucessfully so far. Mine was dx on March 10, and I found out I was pg on Feb. 21.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2000 Report Share Posted April 9, 2000 Tq, So many new members this week. I am so happy that you all have found us, but it saddens me that the cycle continues. I hope that makes sense... I felt the same way about Tucker. I just could not understand how I could feel so much pain. I completely understand, and I am so sorry that your relationship didn't work out. It must be hard to not have the only other person in the world who should care as much, but I hope that we can help in some way to fill that void. Take care, Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2000 Report Share Posted April 9, 2000 Tq, I'm so sorry for your loss, but happy that you found us. I wish I had the magic words to make you feel better, but I don't. Only time can help heal this wound and it does leave a nasty scar. You will find great comfort here with these ladies. They have helped me through the most difficult times over the last months. I'm sure you will find the same result. Big hug, Jo-Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Tara, Thank you for the support, I'm sure I will be checking in often for it! I go to see an infertility doctor on Tuesday and I hope they are able to rule out EP then. I am a little worried reading other messages where after an EP doctor's make you wait TTC for 3 mths. Do you think my doctor was wrong to let us try again so soon? Thanks, Mechelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Sonja, Thanks for the support. You are right the time period between O and pregnancy is killing me. I took a home preg test this morning which was negative. That could mean so many things! It was only 9 days after O , so that could be it. Last EP I didn't get a positive test until my 6th week, so it could be another. Or it could just be that I'm not pregnant, which makes me soooo sad. We have never had a problem getting pregnant, first try both times, just holding on to them seems to be a problem. With my daughter I had a blood clot in my uterus that threatened her until I was about 14 weeks. And then premature labor at 28 weeks, so PG is pretty rough on me, people don't understand why I keep trying, and I cannot imagine ever stopping....

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 , I am thinking of you sweetie, I know how rough this is... We also conceived first go both times, but now, since my e/p, it just doesn't want to happen..we've been trying now for 7 months,and this will be our 8th. cycle, so I could do with a ++ about now..

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Mechelle, You are not the only member who was given a green light early on. So I wouldn't worry too much. My rupture was just so extreme. It happened all at once and the surgeon described it as an explosion. I was stuck in the hosp for nearly a week, catheterized for 5 days, had to be intubated, transfused, etc. So I'm a poor example. They cut me vertically up the middle, from pubic line to belly button. My ob wanted to make sure I was 100% healed before the hsg. And bc of the severity of the rupture, she insisted on the hsg before any ttc could begin. Keep us posted on what your doc says. And welcome again. Tara Re: RE: New to the group Tara, Thank you for the support, I'm sure I will be checking in often for it!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I have only recently discovered the BPD diagnosis. I now know that I am the daughter of a BP, the ex-wife of a BP (after 30 years of marriage) and the mother of a BP. To have discovered Dr. Friedel's book " BPD Demystified " and " SWOE " and its workbook represents a shock wave in my life. I cried as I read these books - 20 years too late for me to help my 26 year old daughter. I am amazed that I got out of my previous marriage with any of my own sanity intact. I am amazed that I survived my childhood with any of my own sanity intact. I am distressed at how little help I have received from mental health professionals all these years. I went to a new therapist in April (after having given up on therapy a decade ago) and this marvelous woman finally made the comment 4 weeks ago that she thought both my daughter and my ex-husband might be BPDs. A search on the Internet led me to four books which I am gradually working my way through, and to mental health professionals who specialize in BPD. AND Dr. Friedel says he can do an evaluation of my daughter himself!!! I don't know if my daughter will cooperate fully but at least I am starting to get an understanding of what is going on with her. I need to join the group for parents of BPs as soon as I can figure out which one that is. I am so glad that all of you are out there to help me understand how to cope with BPs.
