    Hi everyone

    Hi everyone, I found out on Tues the I had a missed miscarriage and had to have a D&C. i think I am all cried out at the moment. I am not looking forward to going back to work next week. I don't want to have to deal with all the pitying looks from people. My fiance has been so good through the whole thing. i was feeling really guilty on Tues because i felt that there was more i could have done to prevent this. I am a smoker and didn't quit completely but cut back. everyone including the doctor has told me that it is not my fault but the guilt was still there.
    the only bright side to this week is our 1 year anniversary tomorrow.
    you may be able to answer a question for me. when should i start to monitor my temp again? We want to start TTC as soon as we can. I know that it could take a while for my AF to start.
    7weeks found out at 11 weeks

    Hey missjac,

    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, it's terrible news.

    As for temping, I'd get on it right away. There is no harm in seeing what your temps are doing so that you can get TTC again. That way, You'll also have some idea of when to expect AF to arrive. I started temping right away. It really helped me.

    It might take your body a few cycles to get back on track, or it might happen again straight away.

    It has taken me 3 cycles to get a normal rhythm again and that is with the help of acupuncture.

    Fingers crossed it happens for you again soon.
    Don't be too hard on yourself. Smoking isn't ideal during pregnancy but if your doctor has reassured you about that, then be kinder to yourself.
    Maybe just try and stop from now? So that you're completely done for when you are pg again!!
    Hugs

    Hi MissJac,
    Sorry to hear your sad news.
    I would wait till you have your first AF as then you have something to go by plus you give your body a bit of time to heal.

    The last thing you need at the moment is the stress of temping.

    Take care
    Chris
