T-Hopes - Thanks for the recommendation of an FS. I will keep that in mind. I have an appointment to see someone in a couple of weeks who is supposed to specialise in recurrent miscarriage (according to his website) so I will see how that goes first.
Mindhugs - You poor thing. I didn't get rock hard breasts after the miscarriage but my body is doing all kinds of weird things. At the moment I get hot and cold flushes where I feel boiling hot and freezing at the same time (boy, is my body confused). I had that with the last miscarriage too and my MIL suggested it was menopause. That really isn't the thing to tell a woman still trying to have a baby. As for the floods of tears and sobbing, I'm with you there babe. I do that too.
Sunbeam - I hope the answers give you some comfort. My OB wouldn't do any testing as he was so convinced it was chromosomal abnormality. I know he is probably right but I would have felt I would like a more definite answer. Did you have that testing with any of your other losses?
Alice - Due dates are hard. Can you and DH do something nice on the day? My last EDD was 5 days after I recently miscarried and it was also DH's birthday. I just wanted to put my head in the sand but I didn't want DH to have a miserable birthday so we went out with friends for dinner and I was glad afterwards because it helped me put it to the back of my mind for a little while (that and the two ****tails I ordered!) I am not really looking forward to this weekend as I am already so over the election and all the related coverage. If we get the chance DH and I talked about seeing "Inception". Anyone else seen it?
AFM - It's now 4 weeks since the D&C and I have NO idea where I am in my cycle or even if there is one. My other miscarriages had all been natural, this was the first with medical intervention. I didn't have any blood tests so I don't know if there is still a HCG over 0 or not. I know there isn't enough to register on a test as I took one. Every now and then I get a ping from my left ovary which I presume is returning to action but I have tested with OPK's and there is not even the ghost of a second line all this week. I saw my OB on Tuesday and he said I didn't really need to wait if I wanted to try again now. I don't know if it is a good idea to try before we see the FS but at my advanced age I am not sure I want to waste even one cycle.
