    Indy - Hi! Goodluck with POAS on Sunday. Wishing you a sticky

    smi - Glad you're feeling better.

    babymiracles - Hello fellow Adelaidean. I've only just realised that you're in Adelaide too!

    T.Y. - I don't think there's any harm in not waiting to TTC. I had a D&C so I waited 1 cycle just to be sure my lining had built back up as it gets fairly well stripped in a D&C. I was glad I did wait, as I don't think my loss really hit me until that first visit from AF. The main reason for waiting seems to be for emotional recovery. But it might be good to check with your doctor to make sure there are no medical reasons to wait. Its a very individual choice and completely up to you. to you hun.

    Hannah - so sorry lovely! But at least it means that if I'm not using my zen-vibes at the moment I have plenty to give away - sending them straight to you hun! I am sure I will restore my zen if all looks good for me at next weeks scan... here's some extra for you leading up to next Tuesday...

    TY - I was told to wait 3 months to ttc again by my ob after my 2nd loss - she said this was to make sure I was stable (emotionally I guess). I think she didn't realise that I wouldn't be stable again until I had my next baby safe in my arms! Seriously though, I was told by my GP and Clinical Geneticist that there was no medical reason to wait, and that I didn't even have to wait until AF if I didn't want to. I pretty much bled continuously after my D&C (sorry if tmi) with about 3 days off that cycle until the first AF arrived. As Hannah said, I really felt my body and mind needed that time to heal. We decided to try again the following cycle and were very blessed to get a bfp. Some women don't wait until their AF returns, fall pg and have everything go fine... gl with whatever you decide

    Love and hugs to all of you gorgeous women,

    xx

    Hi,

    T.Y. - My DR told me just to wait one cycle. I didn't have a D&C though and my cycle went back to normal the next month. I guess everyone is different. You just need to make sure you are emotionally ready as well as physically. We started TTC again straight away and are still trying but in a way I am glad I didn't get pg again straight away as I don't think I would've handled it too well. I would've been a nervous wreck! As I said though, everyone is different. Good luck.

    Indy - Best of luck for Sunday.

    Smi - Yes, definitely don't want to have Lupus. I have seen many of my family in pain. I really feel for you!

    Possums - I really hope your miracle happens this month! I think we all deserve an early Christmas present.

    Hannah - !!!

    AFM - Not feeling that positive over the last couple of days. Not sure why but I think I am trying not to get my hopes up so I won't be disappointed. Even though I will be anyway!

    Thank you for your replies.

    Buliej - Hope you can conceive naturally

    Possums - Good Luck to you this month, please keep us informed

    HannahD - Can't wait to hear the good news from you.

    Jenushka - Completely agreed with you, I wouldn't be stable until I had my first baby in my arms!

    Mel - I think I am emotionally ready already, I also miscarried at week 6, didn't do a D&C, just want to try as soon as possible. However, I do admit that it's better to wait one cycle.

    By the way ladies, I miscarried a week ago, just stopped bleeding, how come I still have tammy pain? not serious though. Is it normal?

    Hey Ladies,

    I hope your all doing ok. this is just a quick post as i'm at work.

    I will be 20 weeks on friday! I cant believe i'm halfway there already!!! I felt my fist proper big kick last night, it was the most amazing feeling in the world. I've having flutters for past couple weeks, but this one you could feel by putting hand on my belly! It was so nice!

    I have my 20 week scan on tuesday, so fingers crossed that all goes ok, i cant wait to see bub again.

    Sorry only flying visit!

    Lots of and a great big

    T.Y It is totally up to you in what you decide. I Had a D&C at beginning of July, and by the middle/end of july i had been totally blessed and had fallen pregnant again. I'm now 20 weeks gone and am feeling bubs every movement. So i didnt listen to the doctors and wait as i wanted to start TTC straight away and i'm so glad i did.
