Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss October 2007 ~ #2

[Acria]

Hi Georgi. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your baby. I had a similar situation a few months ago. I was almost 11 weeks, and to but a long story short (long version is posted in the 'your stories' section, somewhere), our baby had died at 7.5 weeks. I had a D&C also, and bled for only about two days.

Prior to that, I'd always had regular 28 day cycles, and it took 35 days for AF to come again after AF. Next cycle was 25 days, and sicne then they've been pretty much back to normal, within a day or two.

I'm fairly sure I didn't ovulate for the first two, maybe three cycles, as I get mittleschertz (sp?) when I ovulate (ovulation pain), and I didn't feel it for a couple of cycles, though it's been back now for at least the last two cycles.

I hope this has helped somehow, if you're wanting to get straight back into TTC, OPKs may be a good idea, as someone else said, so you know whether you're ovulating, or if you've been temping, that would help too. Take care.

Hi all,

Well my mishap yesterday with the car getting towed cost us about $300
- what a waste of money that was I am trying not to think about it
but god it makes me so mad - to top it all off was not in the modd for bd tonight
so i reckon if we conceive this month it is going to be the immaculate conception - well almost!!!!!!!!!

Temping has been really helpful and today is my third day of elevated temps so i am getting more confident that i have Od already !! The CM monitoring is something i shall try to get beter at - i am finding that tricky as i think my CM can vary throughout the day !! Any comments on that would be appreciated

Beaskie - Congratulations !! well at least now you are no longer in limbo and can get all set for next cycle so well done - we are here 24/7 for you !!!

STARRYSKY - let us know how you went with you next HPT fingers crossed for you

Georgi - Oh I am sorry to hear of your m/c it is such a shock when it happens like that. Welcome to our little group - I am rather new here too but it is a great group of ladies and really supportive - best of luck & hugs to you

treelo - hang in there you may have tested too early - best of luck over the next few days.

satya - hi there good luck with your BT - I don't know about a good excuse but can you perhaps say you have to pay your insurance or get a new licence done & have to leave the office for an hour or so?? Or just go home sick with a headache or something?? GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BT - IT WILL BE FINE

acria - hello there I too had a similar thing with a missed m/c it is just really hard isn't it cause you think everything is going well until they tell you there is no heartbeat. Hey just wondering with the OPKs what is the best way to use them - I have never tried them - when do you start testing for ovulation??

Lunch is over gotta get back to work
Bye for now
Anna
