Mia, did you have a D&C? Welcome by the way, I'm sorry that you're here, and I hope it's not for long. We've just had 3 bfps in here, so there are some good vibes going on at the moment.
My post-m/c cycle was 41 days I think, but it was a natural m/c. I think if you have a D&C, because they so completely remove the endometrium it can take a while for it to rebuild and the hormones to catch up, if you bleed naturally it's often that your hormones are already relatively back on track. 41 days wasn't too long for me. I'd say their advice is pretty good, especially if you had a D&C.
Mia - welcome love - it's a bugger of a thing to have to experience.
I had a d/c on 2 different occasions at 12 wks after missed m/c's & this last time my af came back exactly 28days after which is my normal cycle. Another eg of us all being so different though. Hope it happens quickly for you.
Hi to everyone else - hope you've been enjoying your weekends
Hello Everyone.. Sorry ive been MIA for a while. Just finding the TTC journey hard this time.
Just need to vent a lil .. please dont mind me.
I found out 2 lovely ladies are pregnant this weekend. Really pleased for both. Really sad im not joining them at this stage.
I had the 25th of Nov im my dreams and in my head at random times.. was really hoping it meant something. But even now as I think im heading into the twt.. im sure we missed the boat again.
I think it's okay to be selfish in here hun. I also feel sad and left out or left behind right now. We've just been to a BBQ where there were some friends who announced recently. She is starting to show a little bit. What hurts is that I was ahead of her. I'm happy for her and I know it's not a race, but it just doesn't seem right or fair. We would have been pg together.
Thanks Phebee.
Now im obsessing over my "charts" ... im my own worst enemy. i haven't taken temps ever. But just noting down CM ect.
HUGS
Hope we both can be joining the belly club again very soon.
thought I'd jump in and introduce myself, I was in this thread awhile ago after I had a missed miscarriage. I went on to have a high risk pregnancy that produced my precious DD. My Hubby and I are currently TTC #2. Its my first cycle and hoping it's a normal 28 day cycle and I actually ovulate as I have pcos which meant it was hard to fall pregnant and I ended up using fertility drugs last time. This thread helped my so much last time. Even though I have my DD I am still terrified of losing another bub. Hope to get to know you gals better in the future!
Welcome erybery - I'm not technically here, but I'm here every day, lol. You'll get a lot of support from in here! Here's hoping your stay will be short and sweet.
MM - just wanted to pop in and say I hope the FET went well yesterday bubs thawed beautifully and is finding a lovely warm home for the next 9 months
MMM - right now, right now my sweet, you are technically pregnant... hoping little embie stays sticky for you. Stay snug little one.
Erybery - welcome, and I am sorry for your angel, but oh so happy about your DD. I hope your TTC stay is a quick one this time around and a safe preg. If you don't mind my asking why were you classified as high risk during your preg with DD?
Mia - hugs hun.
Tascha - it's ok to be selfish It is one of most lonely feelings, when everyone else seems to be announcing their pregnancy, and you're not. As happy as you might be for them, it's just another harsh reminder that you're not pregnant and a heartbreaking reminder of what could have been. I have a friend and she m/c once and then for a brief time we were pregnant together. Then I m/c and then she did. I never want to be pregnant at the same time and about the same stage as her again, cause I don't need the extra worry. I had to chuckle about you and your charts.... I am starting up mine again, but keep forgetting to take my temp. TBH, I am not sure the fear of losing a baby ever goes away, but what you do have is some belief that you can do it. And you'll need to hang on to that!
Phebee - hugs.
Mummytotwo - I was just looking at your sig and noticed that your DD was a 10+lb'er! Mine too! Did you have a caesarean or vaginal birth with her? Just curious.
thanks so much ladies for your support,yes embie survived thawing,transfer went well,had acupuncture before & after,had some blood streaked cm last night ,hoping it was implantation,bit early though i think.Might of been from having the speculum treatment...
well ladies went to gyno, he said my cervix etc looks normal, got an appointment monday for internal u/s and hoping it finishes by monday. Will give him a call then to see whats happening. AF is still around, im still grumpy and so over it. Anemia is setting in too
mia01-sorryfor your loss,hope your next bfp comes quicker this time around...eybery-i remember you from my stalking bb days,took me a while to feel up to posting.Sorry for your loss,hope you get your next bfp quick..dory,tasha & phebee-good luck with the temping,in 27 months of ttc,that is one thing i haven't tried...shan-did dr put you on iorn supplement?,hope dh is cooking you lots of steak dinners
hi
my husband and i have been married just over a year and have been TTC since about May last year. Went off the pill in May and had original bleed and then no period for 6months. then had two normal cycles of 39 days length and fell pg on the second normal cycle.
We went for our 8 week scan with the doc 8 feb 2011 and found we had had a missed miscarriage at 6 weeks. I was devastated. had to go into hospital the next day for a D&C and he also put me on 50mg clomid the day after that (he said day 2 of "period") due to my long periods and how long it took for my periods to start once off the pill, so i am now on day 41 of cycle (and no not preg have done HPT with Neg results) and just feeling so frustrated and fed up with the whole thing. My husband and I want to start trying again but obviously cant until i get a period!
has anyone on here been on clomid due to long cycles and it not made any difference or made your periods stop?also has anyone else been put on clomid straight after a D&C? im just so confused about what is happening inside me and just wish it would sort itself out! I thankfully have my six week check up on thursday so hopefully he will be able to give me some answers.
Hi Girls,
thanks for the warm welcome. I already feel "safe" posting my fears in here.
Dory - Don't mind a bit you asking, I know your story as I read the pregnancy after m/c thread as it was a very supportive group for me when I was in there even though the people continually change!
Apart from my gyno issues - pcos and endometriosis I was high risk as at 9 weeks I was told to terminate my DD as they thought she was incompatible with life! She had high nuchal fluid and they suspected trisomy 13 or 18 which are every serious and most babies dont survive outside the womb. It wasn't found on the Nuchal translucency test, just in my ob's rooms on his ultrasound, but then of course was sent for specialists scans which confirmed the nuchal fluid. I can't really remember my stats but I remember reading something and saying "geez I may as well be 48 and being pregnant!" anyways, long story short, had to wait till I was 11.5 weeks for cvs testing - which I was terrified of miscarriage again as had just lost my first, but the unknown was just to scary. Had genetic counselling and found in my whole extended family I was the only one who had miscarried and had fertility issues and had what they thought was a serious problem with the baby. I had the cvs and it came back fine, meanwhile had bleeding and cramping, continually thinking I had lost my DD. Then they said its probably a heart defect so had a cardiac scan for that and was being seen by my ob every few days- every 2 weeks at the most. Then when the fluid resolved (by 20 weeks) they said she will probably be ok but she may have some unknown syndrome we wont know about till shes born - so constant high stress and anxiety, which wasn't helped by a baby who hardly moved!!
anyways, that was an epic answer lol. In the end was induced at 38 weeks for the sake of my sanity and the fact I wasnt really feeling her move. BUT it all turned out well in the end. My DD was born healthy - apart from severe reflux, some low muscle tone and asthma!!!
Matthews mum - I have kept up with your journey too, wish you weren't still here TTC. I really hope you have success this cycle
Minivini - I know your frustration, I was having 70+ cycles and not ovulating. With the baby I miscarried I was just about to start clomid, but had a bloodtest just to make sure and I was but lost that baby and had a d&C at 10 weeks. Then my AF didn't return so after 2.5 months my gyn/ob put me on the pill 2 tablets a day twice a day for 7 days to bring on AF so that I could clear my lining out and start on the 50mg clomid - and lucky for me it worked first time. Because I only took it for one cycle Im not sure about it not making Af stop. Perhaps the dosage needs to be put up if its still not making you ovulate???
AFM - very annoyed today and feeling down as I have had no signs of ovulation yet. My skin is terrible, I have awful headaches and I feel so out of sorts and Ive only been off the pill for a few weeks now. I am scared the pcos has already kicked in. I have worked really hard the past 6 months going to the gym every day and have lost 8kg, I am not lighter than what I was when I fell with my DD. I am back in the healthy weight range for my BMI. My gyn/ob told me my weight wasnt an issue last time, but I know that any weight loss can help when you have hormonal probs like myself. He told me last time to give it 6 months TTC and then come and see him, but Im thinking if my cycles are going to be out of whack again straight away I may ring an get an appoint sooner - It normally takes 3 months at least to get in to see him anyways! But I know I am getting ahead of myself!
Anyways, I don't usually post long posts like this, so don't worry!!!
Tashca - could still be in the running for the 25th. It might not be your edd but if bubs came a little bit early.....Good luck anyway & hope your coping ok with the pg announcements around you.
phebee - same for you sweetie. I hate reflecting on what might have been - even seeing my belly buddies due group around the threads (for May 2011) hurts me somedays.
MM - glad all has gone to plan so far. Is it still pretty much 2 wks til testing? All the best hun.
shan85 - yay for things looking normal (your cervix) but that af of yours needs to STOP! Hope the u/s goes well!
minivoni2b - hugs to you. I was on clomid not for long cycles but as something to try (apparently I did ovulate on my own but coldnt fall pg). I stared clomid the cycle after my d&c. Hope it works a treat for you!
erybery - hope O is just around the corner for you!
Dory - DD was a c/s. I laboured with DS but labour did not progress so c/s & when DD looked like being bigger than him I was booked in for c/s auto with her. What about you? Don't tell me vag birth????? It's like birthing 3 mnth olds huh?
Anyway, hi to anyone I missed!
Mathew's Mum- YAY for embie going well. What's the nest step on embie's journey?
Ery - oh sweetie, not so much an epic answer as an epic pregnancy with DD. You did so well.... you must just look at DD and think, wow, you are truly a miracle! I would make an appointment with the obs now, if it takes that long to get an appointment. Hope you get out of your funk. Go and do something nice for yourself.
I hear you on the weight. I am 10kg's heavier now than when I conceived Hannah and 20 from when I first conceived in July 08. Having PCOS makes the weight so hard to lose, like you to lose weight I was at the gym every day and doing intense exercise. It makes me feel disheartened now, as I know just how much work it is. My obs, who is also an FS has never said anything about my weight. I suppose it's not been an issue for me so far, but it was in the past. Hoping it's not now. If and when my cycle returns, I am only going to wait 3 cycles before I go back. But I don't have age on my side either.
Mummytotwo - nah, emergency c section under general anaesthtic due to HELLP, though was booked in for an elective c section the next day.... my girl just knew how to save me some $, as once I was admitted to hossy, all the services became "in patient" so all covered by private health, no gap. Phew. I had been planning the vag though.... eek.
minivinib2 - can't help but wanted to say I'm sorry about your dear precious one. And congrats on getting married, a lot to deal with in your first year! Hope you did something nice for your anniversary.
Shan - glad the cervix looks good.... bugger off AF. Hope the u/s goes well and there's nothing retained or anything else.
