My name is Angela and I am new to this forum. I have had 1 still birth, two ectopics with the removal of right tube and six miscarriages with the most recent last month. I didn't know that I was even pregnant and it was over before I could even get my hopes up. I guess I'm here looking for support, prayer, hope. I'm tired, in EVERY sense of the word, but something in me won't give up. I have multiple reasons that I have found for having so many pregnancy losses. I'm diabetic, have O- blood type and am obese. I'm 36 and am figuring out how HARD it is to lose weight,eat right and keep my blood sugars in check. I feel like I'm drowning. I used to be angry at God and ask him why make me a woman and not be able to have just one child, but I can't stay mad at God because one thing I know, is that I love him with all my heart and only his strength and love is the reason why I'm still alive, sane even. I do have bouts of depression or times when I'm fighting with in myself to be positive. I've prayed and prayed, so now I'm waiting!

Hi Angela. Welcome to CF and Recovery. I'm sorry for the difficult trials you have faced with trying to conceive.

It's good that you are trying to eat right/be healthier, but that can definitely be challenging. Are you supported in your efforts (doctor guidance, personal trainer, nutritionist or the like)? With your health concerns, it would probably be a good idea if you're not.

I am going to join you in prayer that God will bless you with a baby and hope that I get to celebrate with you one day.

Thank you for the welcome. Yes I have several different doctors working with me, it's just a long and tedious process, but my prayer is that at the end of this, my husband and I will have a child of our own. I appreciate your prayers and am very grateful I found this forum because I think it's better to get advice and prayers from other believers and to offer the same in return. I pray that God blesses you and yours!

I pray that you will have a child. Do you ever think of adoption? I wanted to but am now too old. I can relate to how much you want a child. May you and Jesus get closer and closer. God bless you. Oh yes, Welcome to CF!

 

[ahkarhall]

Thank you Ruth. Yes, I've thought about adoption and I guess if all else fails, then that's what I'll try to do. Thank you for your prayers and you will be in mine also.

 

[RuthD]

Thank you! I will keep praying for you and your husband.

As an obese woman who is finally pregnant after years and years of trying - I totally understand your frustrations. I have only had one miscarriage, that I'm aware of.

One medication that has been helpful in getting insulin numbers in line is metformin. I was on it prior to getting pregnant, and for several weeks after.

If you have any questions about medications and Drs, etc just let me know - you can send me a private message.

 

[ahkarhall]

Yes, I used to use metformin, but my body wouldn't get used to it. Stayed nauseated with headaches. So my doc is going to have me try Glumetza. Any experience or info on this one?

Hi sweetie, I am so sorry that this has been such a struggle for you, with so much heartbreak.
I will be praying for you.

 

[RuthD]

How are you doing Ahkarhall?

 

[lovesdolphins]

Glumetza is going to be very similar to Metformin; there are other medications; including this one what should help. I think it is really what helped me to get pregnant, and stay pregnant.
