Travelling ok - back to work tomorrow, which I think will be a good thing.
The reason the dr gave me for waiting is that sometimes the lining doesn't come back properly / thick enough after a m/c. If you wait until you've had 1 regular cycle after a m/c you are in a lower risk category for another m/c. It's not a big difference in % but the risks are higher as not all bodies recover straight away after a m/c and need a 2nd cycle to prepare.
I agree it's a personal choice and the dr I saw today said as soon as you're ready (straight away if we please). So even dr to dr differ on that. Personally, I think I'll wait the month - am happy to wait 4 more weeks so I can repare emotionally and physically and I think if I was pregnant again in a couple of weeks it would be too close for me. My husband and I are young and we got pregnant the 1st month of TTC. I can understand that others who are in a different situation might like to strike while the irons hot, and you are meant to be super fertile straight after (I was warned just thinking about getting pregnant can be dangerous hehehe).
Unfortunately conceiving is a risky game so you need to play the odds that you are happy with, of course there's still no guarantees though.
I am still getting a bit of cramping - seems to come on each night. Not passing any larger clots now and the u/s confirmed that the bulk of everything had passed and just the lining there. I'm at day 5 of bleeding so am hoping this is about the half way mark. It's really just like a period now, not even a heavy one.
Thanks again for everyone's kind thoughts, it has been an experience and I've learnt a lot - especially about myself and the strength I didn't realise I have. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy but for those unfortunate enough to have to go through this I hope you find the same positives in the overall bad situation that I did. I am glad my body recognised that something had gone wrong and dealt with it effectively. I'm not sure how I would have gone if I had to have made that choice and my hat goes off to those who have. Bad things can happen for good reasons and I trust that although this has been heart breaking that maybe the alternative if it had gone ahead and maybe to full term might have been worse.
I'm sure many partners out there will be looking at the positives side my husband has found - MORE BABY MAKING!!!!! (1st Trimester did leave me in the 'not in the mood, too sick' category more often than not).
I believe everything happens for a reason. This was just part of my TTC journey and I know my next pregnancy will be appreciated on another level - I might even find a way to appreciate the morning sickness!!!!
Best of luck, baby dust and sticky vibes to all TTC ladies out there. Hopefully we will join together in a belly belly group soon!!!
