Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ February 2011

[Tascha]

Hello ladies,
Subcribing...
Thinking ive got another long cycle and therefore not sure im in with a shot this month. i really really really wanted to be preggers again. Why am I so needy for it too happen again. Why can't I chill ... just CHILL.. and not check cm every flippen time??? YUP.. going a lil nuts here!

Hey Tascha - It's hard isn't it - don't worry, I'm there too! I'm desperate to be pg again. I think that's why I tested so early and so often last cycle. Silly. Driving you mad? At least we're all in the same boat...
mummytotwo - if you've got a pretty normal cycle, I think there may be three of us in the next tww together - you might be a few days ahead, but it'll be nice to go through it with more people! How good are newborn cuddles! Hopefully the new thermometer turns up soon so I can get a few readings in before O so it's all accurate.
MM - not sure about the CM, did you "know" you were pg with Matthew before the test? I didn't with DS. You might see the same signs.

Interesting isn't it that most of us here have long cycles. My naturopath said the other day that a long cycle can increase the risk of m/c because the egg can degrade through a long follicular phase... She's given me some herbs to regulate and shorten my cycle, and there are a couple more steps I can take too. I'm scheduled to see the acupuncturist on Thursday - primarily for my back and neck, but I'll certainly be discussing TTC with him too. I've never seen one before, so it'll be an interesting experience.

Wow I didn't know that about long cycles...mine generally is a 32 day cycle, but I've had a few 35day ones now... May have to look into seeing a naturopath to see what I can do...I'm just like you girls, desperate to be pregnant again, although in saying that I"m glad I aren't about to have a baby, I really don't think I would cope with a 2 year old who is very needy, so I think by the time it does finally happen, he will be that bit older and a bit easier to handle and my DD will be at school which is even better

Hope we can get a few BFP this cycle, sounds like we could have a few in the 2ww together! Maybe we will end up with November babies

[WannabeMum]

yay for November babies But really, I'll be happy whenever they come along - I would like a 2011 baby though, but if I don't get one, I'll get the one that's perfect for me. A friend of mine lost a baby and was saying the same, she was, in the end kinda glad because her DS turned into a monster and it meant she could deal with him - also now he's toilet trained so she's only got one lot of nappies.

Naturopath also said that apparently not everyone can metabolise the inactive form of folic acid in tablets, so if you have a couple of m/cs it's worth taking the liquid active form. I haven't done that yet, so far only one, but if I have another one I'll certainly think about it.
