Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss June 2007

[satya]

Hi everyone,

First of all apolgies to anyone I miss as it's been really busy in here since I was last on.

Trying - Do give vitex a go. I've been taking it since February & I got a BFP in March. Obviously it didn't stick or I wouldn't be in this thread, but I think it had something to do with me conceiving that cycle. I was taking it for PMS as my partner had complained about me getting psycho in the lead up to AF - I bet he wishes he could take his words back now as I get far worse now we are actively TTC and I now think I'm worse.
Sharon - Don't feel bad about the neighbour. I would have felt exactly the same way as you did with such an announcement. Nothing you said or thought could have affected the outcome of her pregnancy.
Pash - Don't worry about the lack of symptoms. Some women don't get any at all.
Bun - I think you should go along with the monitoring. As much as it will be stressful and inconvenient at times, at least it will keep your mind at rest that you are doing everything possible to sustain this pregnancy. If you don't do it and something goes wrong you will be here beating yourself up saying you should have gone along with it.
Kiwigirl- As much as I'd like to think of it as an implant bleed I don't think it's likely. Yes it was a couple of days earlier than AF was expected and it was light & short (two days followed by 1 day so far of spotting) but my temp went down a couple of days before it came and has stayed down so I don't think it's possible. Good luck holding off testing.
Lee - congrats on the . Sending you heaps of
Cherie26 - Sorry things didn't turn out well. It sounds like you may have had a chemical pregnancy.
Congratulations to AngelJemma.
Megsmum I'm glad you didn't suffer too much damage in the storm. It really was awful hearing about those swept away in their cars. I was so hopeful that they would find that family washed up somewhere, but it did not turn out that way.
Twomums - good luck ith the TWW.

Well my AF came and went without any drama. Two days of spotting, two light days then a day of spotting. I'm still getting up throughout the night to wee, must be the cold weather. I'm CD4 now.

The weekend was not an easy one. I went to a family gathering and I had myself convinced that my SIL was going to announce she was pg. Of course this didn't happen, but I had myself so worked up about it... she had arranged for us all to meet up and rumour is she is TTC so I just jumpted to conclusions. Really silly I know. We also went to a party & there was a pregnant couple there. I knew they'd be there and I knew they were pregnant. I basically just said hello and kept away from them all night. I am just so envious of them I had to stay away as I didn't think I'd handle it well if they talked about the pg. I felt like if I talked to them I might be negative and say something like "its early days yet, anything could go wrong" so I just avoided them. Being a same sex couple they are likely to have already had some challenges in getting where they are now so I just didn't want my negativity to invade their space, if that makes any sense.

I'm off to the gyno this morning and I'm hoping that by taking my BT results and my scan images with me it might speed up the process. I know this is only wishful thinking as I know doctors all like to do things their way.
