Hello ladies,

I'm keeping up with everyone's progress and can't wait to hear about some healthy pregnancies in the next couple of days!

I am still waiting for the final autopsy results from my baby boy, and am meant to get them this week. I am hoping they have found something, an infection or the like, that may tell us why an apparently healthy full term baby dies at 18 hours old. It's so heartbreaking. I miss him beyond words.

I went for my postnatal check up last week with a new doctor and he has taken blood tests on me, to rule out anything there, but tells me he's "not expecting to find anything wrong".

After reading about you lovely ladies and largely it being miscarriages that have taken away your babies - it really scares me to think that even a healthy pregnancy and good delivery, that our babies can still die. I apologise if that sounds negative - it's just that if I have another baby - well, when will I feel "safe" - simple answer is I won't, and I'll be monitoring this baby constantly. Anyway, take heart in that what happened to my baby boy is exceptionally rare, and the doctor here told me he has not seen a SIDS type case for about 7 years.

I'll let you all know if they find any answers for me.

On a more positive note. It's 8.5 weeks since my baby died. I had a light period 6 weeks later. As I have become totally keen to get pregnant again, I brought some OPKs off the Internet and last week I started using them daily. I got a positive result on Wednesday - a strong line, and another on Thursday, and a faint one on Friday - so I'm guessing I must have ovulated on Wed or Thurs? Anyway, we DTD a few times before and around those days. And now - I'm about 4-5 DPO and I have to say yesterday and today my breasts are sore and nipples are tingling, and I've been windy with a few crampy type twitches in the tummy area. I guess it's way too soon to test, but I think I'd be pretty lucky to have fallen pregnant again the first cycle after giving birth.

Can you ladies tell me how soon do you think I can test? How many DPO?

Hope you all had a great weekend!
