Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage or Loss October '08

SWEET MOMMA!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!:hug:
How are you doing???? I missed you!!!!

Ruthie - Good to see you back hun and happy to see you are not doing too badly :hug: My AF didn't come back until day 41 post D&C so try not to worry (easy for me to say I know...) she may be around the corner for you - I hope so! Hang in there and take care of yourself xx

Angel - Sorry to keep you in suspense ;) I promise I will try to update as soon as I know...Glad to hear you are on the drugs now, hope you are feeling better soon!

Jen and Tam - Thanks for the no AF vibes!

Hi to everyone else :) hope you are all doing well!

AFM, no AF still and today is 12 DPO. So that is good for me, have had short LP problems so at least the treatment is working. But maybe have a little bit of a headache which can be my first sign of impending AF, I don't know - it is not a bad headache yet, so we'll just have to see. I have also had a really blocked nose the last couple of nights and am a bit tired today, so maybe that could be the reason for the headache too. Hopefully I won't wake up to AF tomorrow! :noaf:

Allyce - I am still terribly sorry that we're not belly buddies anymore :( But I am very glad that you have found this thread. The girls in here are amazing and I can't begin to tell you how much they helped me when I lost my angel. You'll never regret posting in here. :hug:
When I had my D&C my Ob told me to wait 2 full cycles before TTCing again. But we couldn't wait and tried again the next time I felt myself ovulating, which I think was about 3-4 weeks after the procedure. I was in the TWW when I went for my 6week post-op appt with the Ob. He said his main concern with falling pregnant straight away was that the uterus lining might not be thick enough. But he scanned me and said the lining was nice and thick. Turns out I wasn't pregnant, and it took me 4 more cycles to fall pregnant again. But I've heard that a lot of woman are highly fertile after a D&C, so you have to do what feels right for you. Good luck!

Jen - I know I've been quiet, but I was quietly stalking your chart and was super disappointed for you when I saw that AF came :( What's with your long TWW's?! No more B6 for you missy! Miss you muchly!!! :hug:

Angel - Hey druggy, how are you? Are your muscles getting nice and big on the "roids"? :ROFL: I was going to send you some urine, but I forgot to ask the Ob today if my urine came back clean. Man I had a joke all ready for him as well, and then I forgot!! Ok, seriously, get better! I miss you muchly too!

PLC - Hi missy, how's the little one going? Kicking you much in the ribs yet? Lol. Your posts in here are always fantastic and supportive. And thanks for always thinking of me even when I go AWOL ;)

To everyone else that always thinks of me. THANK YOU! Even though I have been a little quiet due to the morning sickness, I still read all the messages and you all make me smile. You are all such gems that there is more treasure in here than in a pirates cave! :hug:


AFM - A quick update. I had another Ob apt today. He did a quick scan and despite my overwhelming fears... Little Chyan is doing wonderfully! What an active little bubba! We got some nice waves and kicks, and even a little head nod. She's measuring 3.65cm (crown to rump) which puts her at 10w2d (still 1 day behind my dates but all good!). I'm pretty sure that at least one of her waves was for her "special aunties" in here!

I'm pretty sure Little Chyan is trying to give a "high five" in this picture ;)

:computer: I just had a post ready and it's gone.. :(
So here goes. Attempt 2

Ruthie - you found us. Good to see you back on line. Won't be long now and you'll be able to TTC and hopefully those doctors will have your special bub waiting that you'll be able to hold onto for ever. :hug:

Tam - Much better weather today, although it's still a little bit cool. Hopefully it won't be long until you O. Sometimes on clomid O will be a couple of days later.

Krystie - good to see you up and about. Great news on the scan with waves, kicks and a special nod thrown in for good measure.

Megsmum - here's another lot of :noaf: vibes for you, cause you can never have too many.

Jen - it is a cute looking coverline isn't it. Did you notice it was a little early this month, don't know what's happening there. I can only hope the :egg: is trying to sneak up on :bluesperm::pinksperm:. hope something happens, we haven't BD much this month.

Angel - glad to see you listened to all the wonderful advice and headed off to the doctors. Now just have to wait for all the medications to kick in.

Megsmum: Thank you momma for thinking of me.. yeah things have been bad but we all manage to go through.. ya know?.. no I'm looking forward.. I will never forget my angel baby... but I cannot stay stuck in that moment.. it over now.. I have to move forward now..
Thank you so much for being so sweet momm.. God bless you.. and I h0ope AF DOESN'T Come so you get that so deserved B........F........++++PPPPPPPPPPPP++++++++!!!!!!!! :dance:

Thank you about the heads up on the cycle.. since I'm so very irregular this is "a norm" for me.. but it worries me cuz I know things aren't ok in there ya know??.. I hope you are right.. I'm DYING for AF to show up.. I have a long time I don;t get one unmediated.:redface:

Mollycat!!!! Hey momma!!!! Thank you sweety.. for e-mailing me and thinking of me!!!! it meant so much that day I read your e-mail!!!! I was crying before I read your e-mail and I smiled when I did.. thank you for that!!!! ((hugs))))

I hope you are right.. can't wait to finally be in the L&D room delivering a healthy baby.
Love you!!!!

Ruthie - so glad to see you back here :hug:, and glad that you've got a really good plan of action for the next little bub. I like the sound of your new doctor...

Krystie - OMG!! What a gorgeous scan pic!! I have my first on appt booked when I'll be 10w2d, so I want one of those too ;) So glad to hear you and litte chyan are doing so well :dance:

Allyce - I'm so glad you have found this thread - these wonderful women will look after you very well. To answer your question we were told by ob to wait 3 or 4 months to make sure I am stable (like I'll ever be stable again!!). My GP and clinical geneticist both said we could try again straight away without even waiting for AF. So from one extreme to the other. I had my most recent d&c on 5 Aug, got AF 35 days later and then happily fell pg the following cycle. I wish you much luck with whatever you decide :hug:

Angel babies - thanks for the m/s wishes (IKWYM!!) - still only moderately queasy but I hit the 6 weeks mark tomorrow so it might ramp up from here. Good to hear the dr's are finally sorting things out for you

Jen - hi!! hope you're going ok ...

afm - did a weirdy thing today and poas, well 2 sticks actually ... Just saw them in the cupboard and away I went! Don't really know why as I wasn't feeling particularly nervous... anyway happy to report that the clearblue digital says "Pregnant" (duh) and that my internet cheapie has a test line darker than the control line. No need to tell me what a nut-case I am, I already know, and have severely reprimanded myself ;)

7 sleeps until my scan .... :dance:

Big big big love and hugs to you all - have wonderful weekends ... :bluedust::pink-babydust:

xx

Jenushka - If poas at almost 6 weeks makes you a nut case, then you better add me to the "nutty club" too. I did the same! If your scan is in your obs office, don't forget to ask them for a picture just in case they don't offer. I've asked for the pic both time and he was happy to print it for me (even scanned around a bit to make sure he got a good view ;) ), but not sure if he would have printed one without me asking first.

Thanks KL! Am now feeling like I am in good nutty company :) Thanks too for the heads up on getting a pic from the scan at the ob's....

Take care
:hug:

Hi girls,

I know long time no posting, have been lurking though and stalking charts! have been very busy at work and also have been away on annual leave in Sydney visiting my mommy!! it was great, thought I would burst into tears when I saw her but all good.

I see your back Ruthie..November is just round the corner, look forward to reading your future posts and hope you feel alot better.

Jen - I hate the witch I hope she doesn't show her face around here anymore! goodluck for this cycle, I'm in the boat with you as we all are in here.....looking forward to hoping out though.:bluedust:

Welcome Allyce, so sorry you have lost your bub too, big hugs to you, and time heals all wounds, though you may never forget them, you will feel better and eventually try again for the little miracle we all hope for so desperatly.:welcome:

Goodluck Tam this cylce, who knows you may get two bubs intsead of one! I've been told that Clomid can make you ovulate more than once????? I might be wrong....

Jensushka - goodluck with your scan in 7 days hopefully I will post again before then but just in case :hug:

AFM - am also waiting for the witch, I'm really hoping but I'm not feeling very positive, I'm 11dpo witch should've arrived today. I have 3 pregancy tests waiting for me at home, thinking of just getting it over and done with! I hate not knowing....

Ruthie: welcoe back hon! we have missed you, so much has gone on! I am steaming ahead, but thats prob cause i jumped 2 weeks ahead over night lol. I had a scare this week with some bleeding the day before my scan, so off to A&E i went, they pulled my scan forward (only a day) and there was little bub bouncing around the screen. I went along thinking i was 12 weeks and 5 days, No i was infact 14 weeks and 4 days. Thats a quick update about me.

AFM: the bleeding started again on wednesday morning, so home from work i went and put my feet up, and it has now stopped, touch wood, no more since. DF is being an an angel! doing all the housework and making me have total rest.

I'm afriad i wont be able to make it into friday chat today :o (although i could do a sickie just so i could come and see you ladies :shhh: no no no silly idea :lol:) and i think the laughter would do me the world of good!

I hope everyone else is doing ok, i havent really got time to write much more but will try and catch you soon.

XX

Ummm.... it's friday and I'm in chat... Where is everyone? Lol. Have I got the wrong time and day? How weird?! Don't tell me you all jumped on a flight to Cali to see Jen without me!

Woah!!! Where is everyone today!!!!! :jawdrop:
i cant belive how quiet it is in here today!!!!!!

Good morning girls! I don't have time for persies right now.... but will be back later! Just wanted to wish you all a great day.... and sweet dreams for some of you! :grouphug:

Jenushka: COngrats on your little bub!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby!!!! Good luck sweetheart! I'm so happy for you! oh and hey I POASed till ..well... till my m/c day.. that makes me a nut too?..heheh Really I loved seeing those 2 lines I longed for.. I know it will happen again soon...and with a happy ending. My angels are watching from heaven above and they know I love them... they will be my messengers to God and I bet they are convincing God to give me one more chance. :)
POAS away momma... for some reason POASing while knowing I was PG reassured me ya know?

Krystielove: WOW!! Congrats on your scan!!! That is great to hear!! Wishing you the very best!!!! heheeh you too PAOS huh??.. aawww.... it gives you peace of mind. Good luck sweets!

Fifi: WOW!!! I don;t you LOVE it when that happens???.. when you think you are a certain amount of weeks and t happens you are further along???. I do.... cuz that means I have less weeks to worry about and even better..your bump is a few weeks BIGGER!!! :)
Sending you my very best wishes momma!!!!


Hey BTW anyone.......how do I put pics in my gallery???.. and how do I see others pics in their galleries??.. I have NO idea even where to find a gallery????


Mannie: Thank you momma..... hugs to you.. so glad your visit with your Moms was great!! hugs to you. How are you girlie?.. Gosh did I miss being here!!
Yeah.. by Mid Nov or the end is when I will see these docs... I need a Fertility specialist to help me conceive with eds and after that if I achieve pregnancy then I need a prinatologist (not a reg OBGYN this type of OBGYN specialiszes in high risk pregnancies due to prev m/c.) to help me through the whole thing..probably giving me more meds to help me stay pregnant....


as per per our last meeting we have 3 things to target:

1. my annovulation (my inability to ovulate)

2. My insulin resistance (due to PCOS..it has been studied that insulin resistance can be a big contributor to miscarriages..recurrent ones.. )

and finally 3. Progesterone levels when pregnant in the first 6-12 weeks. ( I have low progesterone and that causes my body to think I'm NOT PG and therefore you know the ending results..)

I'm confident in this doc he is super sweet and Gosh he showed me his success rates and I saw many twins there.. hehehe he has a wall with pics of patients that sent him pics of their babies that he helped them conceive... WOW!!!!! I hope I;m one of those in his wall one day .. all of them have big smiles with a baby or two.. his biggest one was Quads...WOW!!!



To all the new ones..... Welcome huns..... You will love it here.. I wish you knew th support I have gotten here.. met AMAZING women and they have been rooting for me before I got pregnant..after.. and when I miscarried..as ALL here know what THAT FEELS LIKE.. they were in my shoes.. not even my OWN FAMILY knows what I went through..and I found compassion and comfort here..
God bless you all ladies.. I'm in love with this thread!!!:loveshower:


I hope the last remaining weeks of October ad November bring BABY NEWS!!!!!!

I'm hoping for a Dec BFP....see Dec. is a special month for me.. hehe I got Married on Dec 20th and Erick was born 6 weeks early on De 16th and my Dad Bday was on Dec 14th and OMG.. my parents wedding was on Dec too.. see??.....
and the baby would be Due close to my Bday Aug or Sept (my Bday is Sept 14th..)

so BABY DUST to all!!!!!! Can't wait to see BFP and ultrasound pics on here!!!!
