Hi Shoegal, sorry to hear of your loss...you have come to the right place...
It is a good sign (IYKWIM) that you bhCG is as low as 13 already, mine is still at 29 and that is 7 weeks after my D&C but in saying that AF came for me yesterday!!
So when AF will come is like guessing how long a piece of string is...it differs so much for everybody...
Yes, there is a lot of differing opinion about when to start TTC again, and whether to wait for AF...my GP says wait for at least one AF as this gives the lining of your uterus a chance to rebuild nicely, and my ObGyn said wait for one AF as when you have just lost, your uterus can be a little 'irritable' and not as sticky.....but in saying that plenty of people have conceived straight away and have had problem free pgs..
I guess the usual advice is to get as much advice as you can then make a decision thatis best for you and that you feel comfortable with..
You are welcome to join the Waiting for AF after MC or D&C Club, in the M&L Thread - lots of ladies at the same stage as you...very welcoming and superbly helpful..
Hi girls, sorry I've been out of touch. Just had a quick read - and it's nice to see that mostly everyone is feeling positive!!!!!!!!!
I have been busy getting ready for my wedding this Saturday. We are getting married in our garden, amongst the lavender and roses, and having a nice lunch with a few friends and our children (except our baby boy, very sad). But, I'm sure somehow he will be with us, he certainly has a strong presence in our hearts and how we go on....
I did an OPK this morning and it was pretty faint. Should I just keep doing one every day till they get darker (and then assume I'm about to O). I'm on CD12, so expect to O in the next couple of days. I know, the timing is perfect, and I pray we will have a permanent reminder of our wedding. Also, should we start the BD now? What would you girls do re the timing of it all?
On a sadder note, our baby boy, it seems, contracted pneumonia after birth - most likely from something aspirated, which then turned into pneumonia. I thought he may have had an infection, it's tragic that it was some gunk that went down into his lungs that killed him. Even more tragic is that he could have been saved if he'd been monitored and checked, the doctor and hospital have much to answer for, and we will be pursuing this line till the end.
Jenjams - sounding very positive, I understand your hesitation, but it is looking promising! Still got everything crossed for you!
Trying to be positive - Sorry you need to be here, but welcome! It's a fantastic and supportive group. Sometimes it can take a bit for your body to get back to normal, I hope it's not long before it does and you can start ttc again.
satya - thanks for clearing that up! I should start drinking the green tea now, have plenty here, on day 3 of clomid and due for first scan next Monday. I like those odds too, and as you said, there's no history of anything going wrong by doing it! Anything is worth a try. I take folate anyway and have been for a while. Happy Birthday to you too!! Hope you have had a wonderful day!!
shoegal - sorry for your loss Advice is always differing on when to start ttc again. I guess really it depends on when you feel ready, the plus of waiting for AF is that you know exactly where you are in your cycle. My cycles are generally long and it took 38 days to come back, hope yours is here a lot sooner!
Lee - good luck with your wedding this weekend! How exciting, and yes, even more special if you conceive a wedding baby! Sperm can survive for up to 48 hours, so if you think you are close to 'O'...maybe it wouldn't hurt to start! So sorry to hear again about your precious baby
