My dh and I got pregnant the first month we tried and then m/c when I was 6 weeks along. It has affected us more than I would have thought, and certainly more than the people in our lives who haven't been through it can know. It has helped so much to read all of your stories over the last couple of months, thank you. We have now been ttc for 3months with no luck. My dh and I will be apart for a few months this summer due to his work and I am really hoping we conceive before he leaves. I have heard about ovulation predictors and wondered if they were worth trying? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
hi nova, sorry about your loss. my story was just the same as yours. got married. conceived 2 weeks later & had missed miscarriage at 6 wks 6 days, & found out at nearly 11 wks. d&c on 19 april. been trying since then. but anyways, i tried opks, dont think they work for me. plus they cost so much! i bought some bulk on ebay but they didnt work i dont think. could work for you? try going onto fertilityfriend.com, buy a bbt thermometer & start charting, also check your cervix too... good luck!
so sorry for your loss. I fell pg after 3 months of trying. then i mc'd at 9 weeks (blighted ovum). That was on my 30th bday, in december. we have been trying since then with no luck so far. Have tried OPK's a couple times, not sure if they worked for me. but its worth giving it a go. As vanaithi said, i think temping is good, although once your temp goes up, it means you have already ovulated, so its too late to try...
anyway, good luck trying, hope your wait is not too long
I purchased Maybe Baby back in June last year when we started TTC. I found that it did show when I was ovulated. To be honest I did forgot most mornings and would brush my teeth or something (you have to put a bit of saliva on the little thing and cannot eat or drink 3 hours prior). Anyway there is a maybe baby thread somewhere as some people like it and some people don't.
In the end we just DTD every night from about day 10 to day 20 figuring that would do. We did fall pregnant that way... 7 weeks later had a MC though.
Hope this helps... I also purchased a thermometer and again forgot to take my temp most mornings and didn't continue with that!
Thanks for the advice, everyone. One of the many things that I've learned after our m/c is getting to know my own body better. We know it's unlikely to happen before my dh leaves but we wanted to give it our best effort! We'll give the suggestions a go. So sorry for all you've gone through...it breaks my heart all over again to think how many people have had to feel the same loss.
