I had 5 miscarriages also. I ended up getting pregnant when I completely gave up. I now have the most amazing 10 month old son!
Hello I came to a place that I did what i can. It's in God control. If it happens then ok but I cant allow it to take over my life. It's great to hear the you have your rainbow baby. Hopefully i will have one in the future full term.
I just lost my 3 one
I'm praying for just one or two would be the most wonderful but 1is really what I'm praying for.
Congratulations! I have a very similar experience. I went through 5 miscarriages and my husband and I decided to “give up” on trying. I felt at peace with our decision and came to terms with it. Then 4 months later I found out I was pregnant. Now one year late I have my rainbow baby. Its crazy how things work out sometimes. I wish you all the best!
Its great to hear that I have still have a chance. I cant afford to spend any more money or time emotionality. If it happens then great. I had 5 miscarriages
Were you happy when you got pregnant again? I kind of think I’ll be like ‘oh…hello my next miscarriage ) :( like I’m not even sure id bother doing anything anymore just waiting for it to come out again though I was always super hot on nutrition vitamins etc
OMG!! What a great news!!!❤❤❤ So happy for you! I was thinking about you lately and what's happening in your life. I am after 4 miscarriages, last in 14 week and I am now in a way to give up for a while and let my head rest from this whole stress. And as you said what will be will be 🙂 I'm waiting for your pregnancy update! 🤩🤩🤩 😘😘😘
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you! Please make that next video as fast as you can! I am currently 12w4d pregnant with my rainbow baby and although I think I’m doing well mentally, I’m always open to more sanity tips!!!
Kelli you are such an authentic and pragmatic person. Everything you said in this video was spoken with such self awareness and empathy for those who are in a similar position. I love how you talked about being a 'success' vs 'unsuccessful'. I love how you talked about finding peace, but in a way that wasn't condescending, that people can't 'force their way into being at peace'. I love the way you took charge of your health. Wishing you and your family the best in life.
I'm really enjoying hearing your story, and look forward to watching your more recent videos soon. 💓
God bless you and baby, may it be a smooth pregnancy and delivery! What a journey!
Oi! what wonderful news!! You give me hope! 💜 Congratullations! Im so happy for you! 💜 🌈 🌻 🌸
Congratulations! I do hope you make it through the end and hold your rainbow baby. I came across your video today as I am trying to prepare mentally to have a baby, after 3 miscarriages and a stillbirth and a laparoscopic myomectomy. I don't need to tell you how nerve-wracking it is. But I do appreciate you sharing your journey. Looking forward to your video on how you stayed sane during your first trimester.
That is so crazy! Your work wellness test found something that possibly helped you conceive/maintain pregnancy.
Also ...after all those specialist...Dr. Google and Dr. CZcams give you more helpful info. Lol. Sounds about right.
So glad you found a good obgyn! It’s so hard to find any medical professional willing to spend some time with you.
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you!
You are truly giving hope to those who think it’s over
At the end of the day God decides
I don't know how she is such a strong being , sharing her loses so freely 👍
Thank you so much for this video. Currently going through my 3rd miscarriage. Had made it to 8 weeks and 3 days which was the furthest appart from my first pregnancy I'm which I had no issues and lucky to have a toddler. Messes with your head having so many problems when I didn't previously. I am in the UK and after 3 losses have finally been referred to a specialist. But this in itself will be a wait. Your logical approach has made me think I should get some counselling to cope with my grief as it is overwhelming. I need to get myself in a better head space if I want to try again and be willing to accept it might fail. Thank you for being so open!
Did they find anything? Blood clotting disorder maybe? I had a healthy girl and then 2 losses...
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Congratulations!!!
Your videos are inspiring just stumbled upon them today. Just found out I've miscarried today. So thank you. Its hard to let go of the trying hard and not becoming obsessed about getting pregnant, tracking ovulation, vitamins, diet,its all so stressful. Now the task is to let go and relax into what will be will be. Your video has helped me get some perspective and hopeful once I let go it will happen. Best wishes x
Can understand a bit how You feel,when were trying for our third it took three years, first and second spent being obsessed about this idea, but nothing.Then letting on third a miracle happened.Though we lost our waited for, beautiful princess in 23 weeks due her being very ill, it gives a hope for future ...
Yes!!!! The OB/GYNO I'm seeing now seems to care more!!!
Wife post. Lol. Thank you so much for your video. I have had 4 losses and trying to keep my peace with this pregnancy is hard especially since I have few symptoms during pregnancies. Thanks for being so caring and happy to see you had your baby. I am trying many of your calming tips.
Did your rainbow make it?
Yes!!!! When you get to the point that you're ready to let go....then you can, TRULY, let go!
Congratulations 🥳! I admire your positive attitude. Stay healthy.
How low is too low testosterone?
Congratulations ❤️❤️
Congratulations 💕.
Congratulations on your pregnancy amd now baby! It does suck that "nothing" seems to be the answer..to just relax and give up but oddly that's usually the case when one has their first or second miscarriage....most couples are relaxed and having fun and not even tracking to begin with.
This makes me hopeful because I had 3 losses this past year and also have a child with an extra chromosome. Seven years ago a blood test showed I had very high SHBG and when that's high, it means your testosterone is likely to be low. I never knew this and ignored the high results since I was told it's fine. I also have all the symptoms of low testosterone. I plan to test soon. It's all about putting the puzzle together and it's sad that us women are left in the dark and not properly informed.
Curious other than the OBGYN monitoring, are you still with Alan Beer Center monitoring during pregnancy?
So you did something different! it was the dhea...I'm pretty sure :) congrats !
Today only i got to know i had my 5th miscarriage...and also today is my birthday...and watching ur video
Hi Kelli! I've had four miscarriages, and realized that my testosterone is also been rock bottom (most recently 9ng/dL). Would you feel comfortable sharing how low yours was? I'm also realizing that my only live birth was right after a course of DHEA - although that time my T and DHEA levels went up too much. I don't have access to my fertility clinic right now due to insurance/finances, so am thinking of cautiously self-administering a low dose of DHEA, so here I am on the interest trying to do my best to figure things out.
I’m beyond frustrated…we don’t have issues conceiving, my body just isn’t keeping the babies😞🥺💔
I do have the homozygous c677t variant of MTHFR.
I also had a toxic Copper IUD for 8 years before these losses😫i do blame myself for that😞😔😢
I do have children that I’m so very thankful to The Lord for.
I’ve had LOTS of losses, more than i have children…my husband has wanted another for a long time now. Our youngest is 11.
I found out yesterday that I had a miscarriage. This is number 5 for me. I'm so sad and upset. I got up to 8 weeks and 3 days. This is the furthest I have got. I thought this will be my miracle baby. My husband and I is so sad. I seen a therapist and fertility doctors. My test is fine. I'm getting pregnant on my own. Please let me know how to contact you. I really want someone to talk too that has been through this.
Kelli how long did you give up until you got pregnant? Do you think age was a factor in the process?
Sooo, I asked my ob if he believes I could have low testosterone and he told me if that was the case then I wouldn't get pregnant so I guess I won't try that...but thank you for the vitamin E recommendation.
Well I get pregnant easily but they are still testing my testosterone and DHEA-S...so you might still wanna get those tests.
How long after treatment did you fall pregnant?
May I ask exactly what all your levels were? I had all three tested, testosterone, dhea-s, and shbg and know about Dr. Gleicher and this informarion already but never knew exactly how low is low. Mine is at the bottom of the normal ranges with testosterone serum being at 11ng/dl. Range is (8-60ng/dl) shbg and dhea is low as well.
My testosterone came back as none dectected. My DHEAS was 99 (below mid-range) and SHBG was 78 (higher than mid-range), according to the lab these were both in normal range. However, Dr. Gleicher recommends androgen levels (testosterone and DHEAS) in mid-range of normal or higher than mid-range. And for this type of PCOS, the SHBG is usually already in the high-range. If your lab's normal range is 8-60 then I would say 11 is on the lower side. These videos have some great info about it: czcams.com/video/UBb7raj7xE0/video.html and czcams.com/video/kq7TOGL3AkQ/video.html and this blog post has more details: www.centerforhumanreprod.com/blog/what-is-new-with-the-polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos I hope this helps and good luck!
♥️♥️♥️♥️
The whole not trying didn't work for me. Just had my 3rd miscarriage.
I have had 10 losses now and no one can help me 😢😢😢😢
God bless and heal your heart
It was yesterday wen l lost my baby at 12weeks am really heart broken
Im happy for you and all. But you keep saying you didn’t do anything different and it just happened naturally but based on your whole video you did soo much to actually get pregnant. Shots, medicine, vitamins and so on lol
You can't say this though.
You didn't fall pregnant because you gave up.
It's because you treated everything before. You had LIT and IVIG treatment. You used dhea to treat low testosterone. All these factors contributed and led to your pregnancy.
Lets get the facts right for people who watch this video!
You’re right, except that I never had ivig. I could t afford it. But you are 100% right that I did basically everything I could…then I mentally gave up. I did hate it when people would tell me to just “relax” and just “stop thinking about it and it will happen” because that can be infuriating while going through everything. So I never meant to come off that way, and I’m sorry if I did.
