Pregnancy after StillBirth?

---

i gave birth to the most beautiful daughter, Honey-Rose on the 8th of June this year, my first child.

unfortunately Honey was stillborn at 7 months, i knew for a month she wasn't going to make it as she had sacrococcygeal teratoma, which was fully internal with no chance of survival.

me and my Husband are now trying again, we are not trying to replace Honey at all, that can never be done she is my first child and will always be my baby girl, but i have this hole where she used to be and no matter how hard i try i need to fill it with another life. my womb and arms are empty and they need to be filled again with a child of mine.

to make matters worse everyone i know is either pregnant or have a baby, even my sister-in-law and she's due a month after i was i haven't been able to be around her.i need this.

has anyone else lost a child? how long did you wait to try again? how long till you feel pregnancy?was you scared? did everything go ok?please tell me how it all went and how you felt,i'm so scared to go through pregnancy again just to lose another child but we tried for so long to conceive Honey just for her to be taken away, we want a family more than anything and i don't want to wait.
no having a child isn't a "job"
i have wanted children as long as i can remember, children are everything to me, i'm not having a child to just fill a hole i'm having a child to raise a family with love witch is something i have a lot of, i see every baby as an induvidual mirical, all diffrent from each other, they are not to replace or substitute another.
skye have you lost a child yourself or even have an understanding of what i've been through and how i feel?
thanks for your replay and i'm sorry to hear that you've both lost babys as well,it's the worst thing that could happen to anyone, and also mamo saying "i am so sorry dear, but no worries soon you will be pregnant again. good luck" no worries really isnt what normal people would say it cant just be brushed under the carpet it's not like it was my hampster that died it was my daughter!
i lost my little boy at 25 weeks last november, it's the most awful thing any mother can experience, however i wouldn't change my little angel for the world (apart from the obvious) time is a great thing the pain never goes away but becomes bearable.

i am now 30 weeks pregnant again with a little girl and i felt ready to try again, i knew it would b hard but if i'm honest with you the pregnancy is horrendous, i can't wait for it to be over you worry abt every single thing even when they say everything is fine, i still worry. you are well watched tho and they will be happy to see you anytime, but that only helps for Little while.

i'd say go for it if your ready but be warned it's not easy now you've lost the naivety of a "problem free pregnancy" you'll if like me never enjoy it again.

but saying that the wonderful baby at the end makes it all worth it!!!!!!!!

p.s feel free to email me if u wanna talk  (+ info)

Urgent Advice Needed From Doctor about my Testicle!?

---

My right testicle has contracted up inside my body all the way out of the scrotum sac. I need to know what causes this and what I can do to help make it go away. I went through Testicular Cancer 2yrs ago and also Teratoma Cancer at the same time. I'm very nervous about why my testicle is doing this. The doctors removed the left one already 2yrs ago. Why would my testicle pull itself out of the sac and up into my body. It's very painful and I need a answer as soon as possible. Thank You very much for any advice you can give me.
Your testicle didn't pull itself out of the sac and into your body, something else did it. You need to get to an emergency room no matter how nervous you are. Irrepairable damage could occur the longer you let this go on without being treated.  (+ info)

Will I ever be able to have my own children?

---

I was diagnosed with a testicular teratoma almost 2 years ago, I went through chemotherapy and had an orchiectomy to remove one of my testicals. Unfortunately after the surgery, I went to a fertility specialist and found out my sperm came back inactive. I went a week later for another try, and I got the same results. My doctor says now that its been awhile I could try again, but the chances of expecting anything new are slim. I'm just turning 18, but I was wondering if its even possible. I'm the only one in my family that can pass on our genes (my brother is gay.. donation really isn't an option for me.) Thanks for your time, what do you think?
remember, i said my OWN kids. ive considered adoption. but im wondering what anyone knows about MY fertility.
ur brother can have kids even if he is gay. someone can carry his and his partners child. its not the 1800s anymore

i dont hink its very likely but you can still try. miracles can happen. u can always adopt a child

good luck :)  (+ info)

Anyone ever experience really long periods?

---

For the past year I have had extremely long periods. By long I mean 32 days, 26 days, etc. and now I am on day 35... these are actual periods... not cycle days.

I have been to a OB/GYN who gave me some provera to stop one of them. My husband and I have been TTC since Jan. 05. Needless to say the doctor simply told me that he would give me clomid to make me ovulate because that was the problem. Didn't tell if anything else was wrong... or what was wrong. This is the same doctor who told me I could possibly have an ovarian teratoma (which I didn't) and sent me to get a vaginal sonogram at a hospital... it was expensive.

Needless to say I am changing doctors.

So, I guess my question is...

Has anyone ever had these insanely long periods? What caused them? And what should I tell my next OB/GYN?
I had my period for 6 months in a row a few months after going off the pill... needless to say my doctor told me that i should have gone to the hospital and told someone about it because its not good on your body... honestly i couldnt tell you what they said about it but all i know is you need to go to a different doctor because its not good on your system to have that kind of length with your period  (+ info)

Can someone pls let me know who is an awesome gynecological oncologist in Florida who will listen?

---

I've had major gynecological problems and surgeries in the past and now I am with disabling pain. I had to quit my job and stay home with my 2 yr old that I can't take care of well by myself. I'm 34 and my sister died at 36 of breast cancer. I haven't been able to do my yearly MRI on breasts because of the 1800 dollar copays, etc.. ( that's another monster) but I've had precancerous cells removed in my cervix, ovarian teratoma surgey, oavry removed from lg cyst and torsion, now I have recurring large complex cysts with ovulation, they diagnosed me with adenomyosis, ovarian cyst, myomata, endo and I've suffered from pcos since I was 15!!!! So basically I'm trying to find someoen that would do further cancer testing since the one saw last wanted to prescribe antidepressants!! Bastard. Pls help. I am contantly with heating pad and taking codons for 4 months straight already and er visits every month with u/s reveaing that big ol cyst plus others. Thank you.
An oncologist will only treat you if you have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In general you will need a referral. However you could try calling the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Florida and explain your situation:

Question about abnormal periods and ttc?

---

Ok... ever since I have been 15-16 years old I have been on birth control for abnormal periods. Sometimes they did not come at all... sometimes they lasted for a long time. I am now 28 years old, overweight. I got off of birth control in January 2007... over 14 months now TTC. I have gone to the OBGYN already about 1 and 1/2 weeks ago. He found what he thought was an ovarian teratoma and sent me for a better ultrasound at the hospital last week. They said that it was a cyst, not a tertoma which was a relief.

Now... I have an apointment on Monday again with him. I originally went to him because of the TTC and the long periods... my record is 38 days on AF. He gave me some iron because with all the bleeding I am anemic. He also gave me prometrium 200mg to "stop" my period.

Well here it is 10 days past my last OBGYN visit and it still hasn't stopped completel... lighter but not stopped.

What is wrong with me? What should I ask the doctor about? Could I have PCOS?
I hope you all can help me...

I also just bought the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." Hopefully I will get it on Tuesday.
Thanks for the response.

Does anyone with more experience in this than I do have any advice on questions I should ask my OBGYN? Things I should be doing?
I have been anemic for a very long time... since my teens.
I can't tell you what is wrong with you. I can tell you that PCOS doesn't usually have long periods, but long times without periods. I would ask your doctor about uterine fibroids - they can cause unusually long bleeding. And of course you'll want him to do complete bloodwork - but maybe he did and that's how you found the anemia? Ask about all the hormone levels (see link below). I can give you the following links to check into more.  (+ info)
