Hi everyone,
I'm 32. Last year I had a MMC that we didn't know about until 8 weeks that the baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks 2 days. I had a medicated miscarriage at what would have been 10.5 weeks, since my body was showing no signs of naturally miscarrying.
We were over the moon when we got a positive test at the beginning of March this year, and working through the anxiety and PTSD from the MMC felt like such a triumph, we had just started to get comfortable with being joyful about this pregnancy.
Unfortunately, now I have found myself in the hell of waiting between a positive NIPT for t21 and an amniocentesis scheduled for the end of the month. My husband and I are fairly certain that if the amnio is positive, then we will proceed with tfmr. It's like our hearts have already been broken but we're trying to still hold it all together in the hopes of being another rare case of CPM.
Anyways, since there's nothing for me to do currently but worry about the future, I'm looking for any hopeful stories from this community.
Does anybody have any similar history as me, who went on to have a healthy pregnancy? I have perused the pregnancy after tfmr subreddit, but a lot of people with success stories seem to already have older LCs, and while I definitely don't discount the trauma they've been through, I feel like I can't relate to them as much because I haven't had any successful pregnancy before. I feel like I am spiraling about my fertility outlook now that this is more likely to be a bad outcome, immediately following a prior bad outcome.
I hope this post makes sense, I have very few people to talk to about this. I'm sorry that we are all finding community over something so stressful and heartbreaking.
