Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss Feb 2007

Kerry Fantastic news, lots and lots of sticky vibes for this little bubs.
Bun I hope everything went OK today, I have been thinking of you.
SP I too was really nervous about going for my checkup after D&C as it was in the same place I was told I had lost my baby, but I coped really well, and the receptionist was just lovely, and kind, and understanding and it really felt good to get it over and done with.
Bekz I started taking vitex my last cycle because 2 cycles before that my luteal phase was only 9 days and I had read that it can help to increase your luteal phase (which it did, by 3 days) by regulating your hormones, but will try next cycle without it just to see if it was a coincidence.
Tonners sorry to hear about your loss, and your low iron levels, I hope they start to improve for you soon. I love this forum, don't know how I would have survived without it.

Hello to everyone else.

I am on CD 24 and got my coverline today, so that means that I O'd right when I was supposed to so I am very happy about that.

Sharon - Yipee on coverline. At least you know your body to regulating and working again.

SP - Sorry that you had a downer after your OB apt. I hope you start to feel better soon, after all your OB was really positive for you and that is a really good sign.

Bun- Have been thinking about you, how did you go hon?

Nothing new with me atm, at least my PMT symptoms have gone away!!!!! DH told me the other night that he wants me to put my thermometer away and let things just happen!!! But I still want to temp so I know what my body is up to. So I will continue to temp for a while and if it all gets too much I'll put it away...

Morning girls!

Sharon- yay on getting a coverline!! It really helps seeing your cycle start as normal again after a m/c - I think it really helps to move on forward rather than looking backward at what has happened.

Bek - my DH was the same - wanted to just 'see what happens', and I agreed, so there has been no more temping for me. I have a pretty good idea of when O will happen now anyway, so don't really need to temp. I hope you manage without it, it does leave you a bit lost at first I think!

SP - sorry to hear that you are down about your OB appointment. I am sure you will get AF soon and that will sort things out. It must have been so very hard to sit in that waiting room for an hour surrounded by pg women - the waiting is so hard, esp in that company!! It was the same for me in King Eddies, I was surrounded by pg women for 5 hours before it was my turn to discuss how to get rid of the 'products of conception' - *shudder*. I think you are very strong to have gotten through it, and it does all sound positive. Follow up appointments are difficult, I have also found that it brings it all back - at my first RE appointment I was a basket case. But it is over now!! And we are all here for you :hug:

Well, my RE appointment went very well. I am actually smiling for the first time in a long time (and I had to have 2 fillings at the dentist last night - smiling all the way there -the dentist must have thought I was a freak!). All my tests came back clear - actually, they were really good results, so he thinks the m/cs were just bad luck, which was his initial thought anyway. The chromosome tests on DH and I are not back yet, but he thinks there is only a 1% chance of that being the problem anyway, so it should be fine. He also did a scan, and I def don't have PCOS - ovaries and uterus look great, and I am going to O tomorrow!! I am stoked, because that is when I thought I would, and I was right! So the plan is, try this month and hopefully get pg, and if not, then we will do cycle tracking next month to make sure hormone levels are where they should be through the whole cycle, and if they could do with a boost, he will put me on clomid the following month which should help for a stronger O, and hopefully, less a chance of m/c. I am so stoked to have a plan, and to feel like someone is taking care of me - that is really important to me now, and I am usually v independent, I guess all this is taking its toll on me. I am just so happy that everything is ok, and it gives me more confidence going into a new pg.

Sorry to ramble on so much guys... Hello to everyone else, I hope you are all having a great day!!

Bun xx

YAY Sharon for getting your coverline i missed that post.....

Im glad all went well with RE Bun you sound really +ve and thats GREAT.. I have everything crossed for you this month....

Sp sorry it all didnt go to well with Ob appointment but at least he said if you havnt got your period in 4 weeks to come in cos my dr just said it will come when it had been 6 weeks since my d & c.... Fingers crossed that it comes very soon...

Well im feeling really +VE this month i finally got my first af and it has left the building so now i can sit back and start dtd in the next week until i get that magic coverline we all want and hopefully my dream will come true......

I am so happy that everyone is starting to feel better.

Bun- It is so good to hear that you have hope again and that you are feeling +ve.

Jane - Fingers crossed for this month.

SP - I think it is a nice to have some thing to remind you of your angel. You don't have to have a ceremony and you don't have to say goodbye. YOu can just have some thing to say " We'll always remember you." Like a picture frame with a scan pic and poem next to it. Or an angel with a poem. Don't feel you ever have to say goodbye, this is way too final and upsetting. I won't say goodbye to my angels because I talk to them and they look over my DD for me. Sorry I just made myself cry.

Re: Me temping. I just don't think I can do without temping until AF comes back regular. I need to know when I O so that I can take natural progesterone in the LP. If the temping gets to me and we get stressed then I will give it away for a bit.

Janeo - that's great that Af is over and you feel like you can now move on with things - best of luck at catching that egg this month!!:crossfingers:

Bek - as long as temping is not stressing you out, I reckon it is fine to keep going. After all, it is only a couple of seconds out of your day, and it can tell you soooo much, esp after a m/c when things can be a little unpredictable and different from normal. I think it is great that your angels are looking over your DD :hug:

SP - I agree with Bek, you are not saying goodbye to your angel, just commemorating him in some way. A lot of people find this very helpful so I would def say do something, like plant a tree in his memory. It must have been so hard hearing from your OB that it was a boy, and I can understand things are hard atm. Try and remember that although you have been through a terrible time, the OB did only have good news, and the chance of a happy healthy pg next time is very very high. It's just hard to get the negative thoughts out of your head sometimes (I understand that only too well). BTW, I thought I would reply to the other thread here - I live in Atwell, SOR. It would be great being so close to the city!! I feel like we are aaages away and the trip to the city on the bus everyday is a nightmare. Bring on the train!

Well, after being all happy before, now I am sad again! I just went to Medicare to claim back $ from the RE appointments, and the guy says 'this is for IVF isn't it?'. I don't know why, but this upset me, I was surrounded by people, he was flashing the account about which said 'Fertility Specialists', and I don't know, I just felt upset. I simply said 'No'. Just because the RE works out of a fert cliinic doesn't mean I am on IVF - heaps of people go to fert clinics for all sorts of reasons, not necessarily IVF, and the description on the invoice was 'Attendance on a professional', no procedures or anything, the idiot. Anyway, I don't know why this upset me, but I guess it just did.

Hi everyone else, I hope you all have a great weekend.

SP it is really hard to say the good bye i am yet to plant the beautiful rose i brought for my baby and it has been 12 weeks since i found out (only a few weeks since we brought it), but always know that this beautiful baby will always be your first baby even though you never meet him and never touch him he will always be yours... Having a tree or plant to look at and know this is your little way to have a place to go and grieve and think of your angel then thats ok its not final, its not goodbye its your special place and we all need that special place i think Andrew and I are going to plant ours this weekend we havnt found the time to do it or the right weather.. Our beautiful rose will go beside our front door so each day i get home i can say hello to my angel, i am also going to get a small angel statue to go underneath it.....

I too thought my angel was a boy and refer to him occasional as my boy, i think its nice to think about him as a him iykwim...

Thanks girls for all your GREAT support i really appreciate it...

Where is Kerry?

I just stalked your FF and there is a lot of green on your chart. Does this mean you got your :bfp:? If so I am sooooo happy for you

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH How exciting i hope all is well and you have a sticky sticky baby.... YAY.... So good to see some +ve tests around here....

Yes, I finally got brave (lol) and added the BFPs to my FF chart after getting a nice dark second line on a couple of HPTs yesterday and a PREGNANT on the digital Crystal Clear test. I'll try to arrange an appointment to see the local doctor (whoever that might be) this week. I'm looking forward to trying to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy, however long it lasts. I'm gratefully accepting any sticky vibes you might like to send me!! I am very, very happy :D

Good luck to you all, I'll be back in often to chart stalk and see how you're going!!

CONGRATS KERRY!!!!!!!!!! So happy for the both of you.... Good luck with dr...

Hello,

Thought it was time I stopped lurking. I have been following this thread for a couple of months now and feel like I know you all already! It has been a real comfort to me to hear your stories and know that I am far from alone in my struggle to get a sticky BFP!
We've been TTC for 8 months now and, like most people, just assumed it would happen as easily as it seems to for everyone else. We lost our first baby in November 06 (8 weeks) and have been trying desperately since then.:pray:

Well, just wanted to say 'hi' and wish you all the best of luck!
