Re: UU Newbie - m/c/preg. ment.

Hi Val,

Many of these women have offered me much encouragement already! My

UU was discovered in '98, and as most, it was a complete shock to

me. I was devastated, felt sorry for my hubby, etc. for a good two

weeks. The messages, stories, and pictures I've seen through this

group have greatly helped. (There used to be a UU group when I first

found out, but it doesn't appear very active any longer.) Anyway,

after 7 long years of ttc (couldn't afford fertility treatment), we

got pregnant earlier this year. (Although, I had to take a few years

off of " really " trying due to the emotional effects it had on me.)

Unfortunately, I lost it, but I am now pregnant again (only 5 1/2

weeks), once again naturally.

I hope your IVP goes well and they find 2 kidneys. I know you will

find much knowledge and support from these wonderful, courageous

ladies!

Good luck,

/UU

-Hi -

Thank you for the kind response. I'm so happy for your pregnancy. I'm going

" keep the faith " and hope even though my uterus may be half the normal size

my doctor said I can still carry a baby! I hope I have two kidneys too! I will

post it when I get the results! May I ask what side is your UU on? Mine is

the left side! Not sure if that matters just curious. Good Luck with your

pregnancy!
