Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Congratulations, Lori! Actually, some women have said that there is a better chance of getting PG after a d and c. Kind of like a fresh start, fresh linings if you know what I mean. As far as I understand it, that should pose no added risk to you and the baby. Congrats!! Check out my E-bay auctions by Michi310 Re: update on me well i went and had my bloodwork done today and the dr.office called around 4 this evening to tell me that in fact iam pregent again,just a little over 3 weeks after my d and c.i ask several times if it could be hormones left in my body from the last miscarrage and they said no that the d and c they did over 3 weeks ago would have made them come down to nothing by now,they r saying im about 2 weeks.any advice on this knowing i conceived so soon could that pose a problem for me and the baby. lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 So it's definite now that I've got thyroid disesase and now I begin the path of various treatments, specialists, etc. On the one hand I feel deeply grateful that I was seeing a good doctor who would listen to me when this happened. Many people suffer a long time without diagnosis because it looks like so many other things. Yet...what does it come back to, my nada and FOO. The bigger problem for me is whether to tell them, because it will be ongoing work to keep it a secret if I don't. There will be many appointments, some drugs that will affect me mentally, and possibly some visible physical changes. Not an easy secret to keep. YET....it's in the area of them " being there " for me that they've wounded me the most over my life. Either by not being there, making it about them, or being there in a weird intrusive enmeshed kind of way. I learned early in life the harder the problem I was dealing with the more important it was that I not allow their influence. Again thanks all you guys for being here.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi Annie, you are spot on with the three yo analogy. And you bring up a point that I never considered that my FOO might actually " act up " in response to what is happening with me for fear that they'll stop getting so much of my focus. I really really hope they don't do that, but it makes sense that they could. Forewarned is forearmed!

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi Eliza, I'm glad you found a dr you like and who is giving your condition the attention and treatment it needs. God, I so know how you feel. You feel like screaming to nada and FOO, " no, REALLY, it's OK; please don't " help " me!!!! " I hate even telling nada I have a cold b/c she'll start calling me a few times a day to check on me and telling me all the other more catastrophic things it could be besides a cold and bringing over things I don't want. Funny story; my brother lives VERY close to nada's house, like 3 blocks. Last week, she called him and he didn't pick up. Of course, since he didn't pick up on the first ring, she figured he must be dead. So, she walked over to his basement apt and let herself in (he gave her a key--big mistake). He told me he'd been sleeping and turned his phone off. When he opened his eyes and saw her, he said, " Fiona, she looked almost disappointed that I was alive! " I thought that was hilarious and very telling of her need for drama, which is why I get what you're saying. Please take care of yourself. Maybe you can get someone else (your spouse or a good friend) to run interference between you and nada? Very best wishes for your healing, Eliza.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I am doing long term treatment now for my own stuff. I have 2 Dr. appointments a week, and about 1 hr daily stuff. it is a hard thing to not have reliable people to share the burden. I have a great network, but I still long for parental support. I decided to tell nada some things. I sent her a link to a website about it. I did it because my decision to start only e-mail contact for a while is related to it. I want to get the most out of the treatment. she has yet to acknowledge me, my health, or well being. she has tried to get me to take away the boundary. she has made it clear that she does not know what I am mad at her about but whatever it is I made it up. I think that it is wise to remember that nadas will use anything you say against you. I expect that mine will minimize the condition, and use it as fuel for her belief in the fact that I am a hypochondriac. (I have NEVER faked anything) and it will likely never be forgiven. becasue how dare I think my health problems (that are clearly made up) are a good excuse for ruining the family. I guess I am trying to say it is fine to share these things as long as you don't expect anything. expectations are the best predictor for disappointment. I sent the messages to my dad too. having a non-bp involved gave me a small hope that perhaps someone will have some compassion for me. (ok, its a tiny hope) Meikjn > > > > > ** > > > > > > > > > So it's definite now that I've got thyroid disesase and now I begin the > > > path of various treatments, specialists, etc. On the one hand I feel deeply > > > grateful that I was seeing a good doctor who would listen to me when this > > > happened.
