Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage/Loss -February 2009

[mrzbaby]

I feel relieved to have found this forum. I am new here i was 12 weeks pregnant monday 17.2.09 I started spotting, Tuesday i had an U/S and was informed my baby had passed away 3 or weeks previously, Wednesday I was booked in for a D&C. I feel like like it all happened to somebody else I feel so empty and desperately want to fall pregnant. It's been 10 days since the D&C and I am still bleeding does anybody have any suggestions when I can try again for another baby I was told 2 cycles but at the moment that feels like a lifetime away. I see the OB next week to find ot the pathology results and I feel scared .And then there is everybody making their comments (You already have two maybe it's meant to be) and telling there stories and I just feel like I want to hide from the world.

Oh Charm.... DON"T TAKE ANY NOTICE OF THEM.
I have 3 beautiful kids and have had the same comments from my family, friends and even a midwife !!! It was our decision to have another as it was yours and your DH as well.
I had to have 2 D&C after my M/C the last one on Wed after a scan revealed more retained products and then a re-admimission on Friday ( just got out today ) with an possible infection ...( Don't know if I have one or not).
They told me to wait for 2 cycles as well and i have decided to just start trying after June ( if I feel strong enough).
I have days where I am just so positive and think lets just get back into this Baby dancing / baking then other days I am so so scared of going through all of this again i think no I will settle with my 3. We wanted this baby to complete our family..
Allow yourself some time to get you head sorted ( and your DH's as well)...I was like you wheeled back from surgery saying right i want to start trying NOW!.
Take the advice of waiting 2 cycles as my ob and the midwives have said your body needs that amount of time to 'recover' from the last preg and D&C, plus it lessens the risk of M/C as well. Apparently you have a higher rate of MC after a D&C if you fall preg before your first cycle.

I will be joining you on the ttc journey....

Smi.......Feeling for you and DH at the moment....hoping you both get employment soon. my SIL was retrenched last week...PS I still pop into our Belly buddies group to see how everyone is going... glad to see your all doing well.. Take care Em.

AFM: Well after the 2nd D&C on Wednesday I was back in on Friday with a possibnle infection and have finally returned home today!!! yay!!!.
I had the experience of after birth pains last night . OMG I have nevr had these before....OUCH! they just didn't give up!!.
