    Angel - Hope AF doesn't come again for a year!!!

    WTH - So sorry to hear your news I'm sorry that I am lost for words. Just know that I am thinking of you and I hope you get some answers soon.

    Sandy - But so sorry that you have had to join us here. Everyone is fantasic and they will really help you get thru this $hitty time. Hope you have a little bubba in your arms in no time. I too have just had my second miscarriage and I don't want to have to wait. Did you have a D&C? If so, your dr may tell you to wait a month. Other than that, it would be good to wait a month if you can - but I didn't. Fell the very next month and MCed again, but that may very well be coincidence. Many women don't wait and go on to have happy and healthy bubbas. Have a talk to your dr and unless he stresses to you that you MUST wait, then it's really just a personal choice. And you have no need to feel guilty wanting to try again.

    AFM - Went to the Dr this arvo and he has referred me to a specialist (at possibly $210 later and we have no private health cover. Ouch!). Reading my posts above you will see that I only got into my dr today cause he saw me on the appt book with another dr and changed me to his books, and then only got into the fertility specialist tomorrow cause of a cancellation, and only cause i called them back at the perfect time!! Something very weird is going on!!

    So I'm hoping that my DH won't mind me spending the $210 and I will go tomorrow (call in sick for the morning) and he will give me the progesterone pesseries and I will fall preg and bubba will implant whilst skiing down the slopes, and in June next year we will have a little bubba in our arms.

    That seems pretty simple. Why not????

    Feeling very nervous / anxious.

    Just hope DH is ok with this. Still haven't told him I don't want to wait a month.

    WTH - I'm so sorry sweetheart, and I hear you on the hurt of changing the sig. That was the thing that really snapped me into feeling sad after my m/c last June. I'm glad to hear DH will be home to look after you and DD. Take good care of yourself chick, thinking of you. And good on your OB for staying optimistic and determined to get your baby to you

    Ruthie - let us know how the appointment goes Lucky girl to get in so soon!

    Jen - I remembered you mentioned about cramps after DTD..so that relieved me a bit. Still trying to hold on!

    Joey - I'm glad to hear you got an appointment so soon. There's nothing worse than waiting! Good luck.

    AFM - minor (?) crisis this afternoon. Had my lunch and bought a baby magazine (couldn't resist as I've allowed myself to get just a little bit hopeful and excited), and when I got back to work and went to the toilet, there was a little bit of watery spotting. I totally got depressed and was sure for the rest of the afternoon that my period had simply reverted to a 28 day cycle and she was here. But now I've come home and been to the toilet again and there's basically nothing there at all when I wiped. Just the tiniest pink tinge to the CM on the first wipe and nothing on the second (sorry if TMI). I'm also still having virtually no cramps at all, just very mild and infrequent twinges. So there's still hope. I'll buy a test tomorrow night after work if AF hasn't shown.

    I was sure AF had come to punish me for buying that magazine! I get so superstitious, I suppose we all do. I've been tring to think 'If I'm not pg, it's an opportunity to lose weight before conceiving', but it's not quite enough to replace being pregnant. Fingers crossed.

    Question I didnt have a D&C

    Hi
    thanks for every1 words of support.....
    Joel123- Hi, thanks, no i didnt have D&C and im not sure if that was better, when i had my first m/c i had one and then everything was ok no pain no bleeding etc.
    but now is only pain...bleeding feeling bad....this is physically...i didnt have the choice they said it was only 10% of "baby" or conception tissue and i didnt need tgo have a D&C...im scare something can go wrong i read bad experiences & good experiences....i feel today like this is no over yet (a lot of cramps) an strong painkillers..so i called my doc and ask for an appoitment.

    Thanks!!!:

    Hi Sandy - I really hope you feel better soon. I'm not sure, but I think may be it's better when your body cleans itself rather than having intervention. With a D&C they scrape the walls, so you would definately need to wait at least a month for the lining to thicken up again. The pain should go away soon, but if it doesn't, make sure you go and see your GP.

    Hope you are feeling better soon.

    Take care of yourself. Rest up.

    WTH - I am so so sorry to hear your news. Big hun and make sure that you are being very kind to yourself. I am glad to hear that your dh can take some time off to look after you. Hoping that the additional procedures will give you some answers...

    Joey - sounds like the universe is really looking after you with the appts. GL for tomorrow and don't leave the room until you have all the answers you need and lots of scripts for lots of progesterone

    Acria - fingers crossed that it was just implantation bleed and not the witch AF! When will you test? Completely understand the superstition thing too

    Ruthie - wow - congrats on the bfp Unfortunately the pics were removed before I could see them but sounds as though everyone that did see them said YES! Yay!! GL with getting an appt to get the pg confirmed.

    Tutmae - I have also just read your post on Lilah's story - and I'm just so sorry to hear just how difficult that journey was for you.Big I can see that o is fast approaching - have fun bd and hopefully the 2ww will be very gentle on you

    Easha - I am so sorry to hear that AF made an appearance. Hope you are doing ok...

    pbstar - have fun bd'ing and catching that eggie!

    Angel Babies - that bfp sounds so very very close....

    Jen - Thanks for your bloating story (did that just sound very strange !?!). I'm starting to get people glancing at my tum - when I finally do tell they'll be so surprised I'm not due until Feb!! I hope you are doing ok - not good to hear those cramps have made you throw up. And can I just say that "brain fart" is the best thing I've ever heard

    Krystielove - thinking of you and hoping that you're doing ok. Good to hear that you have picked up extra shifts - makes the time go quicker as well as adding to that baby fund!

    AFM - left work early today - we got evacuated because of fumes (eek). Thankfully it was fine on my side of the building and it was just a precaution for us really but jeez, not really what I want to hear! Bit nervous about going in tomorrow but I think I'll call my boss before i go in to check that its all safe (she knows I'm pg). Otherwise doing pretty good, still feeling sick and have sore bbs (yay) - and very very keen for my 11 Aug scan to roll around

    Loads of and for everyone - waves and hellos to those that I missed. I'm thinking of you all...

    sandy... I also had a "natural" mc and what you are explaining is the same as what I went through... the bleeding took over a week to stop and the cramping required pain killers for about a week. The day after the second twin I went to the A & E who confirmed the MC was complete and perscribed strong pain killers. It then took about 30 days to AF and then cycles have been normal since then. I have not had a D & C so I dont know how to compare the two.

    Tutmae - What did your naughty temperature do this morning? I said it should go UP! Pffft, why didn't it listen to me?!

    Ruthie - Huge congrats honey!!!

    Jen - I'm going to Borders tomorrow! Guess what I'm going to buy? Oh actually, I'm only going to buy it if my work mate doesn't have it at home. She has a suspicion that she might have it!

    Smilanatu - You are exactly right! Every symptom IS a sign! That's why I often ask DH how his symptoms are

    LJ - Hope your "jumping" plans worked out well last night! Is it summer yet?!

    Toccara
    - Geez, thanks for rubbing the hot weather in our faces while we are freezing downunder! Hehe. Your hair sounds pretty! My hair never holds curls Mine just gets stupid kinky waves!

    Joey - That's a big YES on the snow posting! I want to make a snowman, but I want to give it two carrots :ROFL
    Sounds like the doctors are scheduling themselves just for you!!! Good luck at your appointments!

    Angel - Stop using the tests that have been taking my pills! Find a drug free test that will stop messing around and show you the two lines!!

    WTH - When I read your post my heart dropped honey. I am so very sorry that your bubba was not destined to be your earth baby. I wish I was with you so that I could take you in my arms and make the pain go away. My thoughts are with you and your DH.

    Sandy - I am very sorry for the reason that has brought you to our thread, but very glad that you have found us. We are all in this thread for a shared reason, and because of that you will find that everyone understands what you are going through and will show you compassion and support through this hard time. Please don't feel guilty for wanting to conceive another baby straight away. There is nothing wrong in wanting to make a baby that you can love with all your heart. When DH and I lost our angel I had to have a D&C and was recommended to wait 2-3 cycles before TTCing again. We made the decision not to wait and at my post-op apt my obs did an ultrasound that showed a nice thick uterine lining. He also admitted that he has had many patients that have fallen pregnant the first cycle after a miscarriage that have gone on to have healthy full term babies. So when you feel that you are both ready, then I think that is the right time to try again I hope your journey with us is a short one

    Acria - I wish AF would stop teasing you and just go bother someone's ex... Hopefully tomorrow AF still won't show and you'll have to do a test to stop us all from bugging you until you POAS

    Jenushka
    - Thank you for your kind words and thoughts I think it's definitely a good idea to call to make sure your work is safe tomorrow before you go in!

    WTH--Thinking of you today... hope your procedures go well and you get some questions finally answered! I'm so sorry you're going through this again... Sending lots of



    pbstar--:woot: O time is the best time! Go catch that egg, girl!



    Sandy--So very sorry for the loss that brings you to our little thread... My dr. wanted me to wait 2 months to TTC, but I knew pretty much right away that I wasn't going to be following those orders. I did lots of research on the web, and found that most of the time there's no medical reason why you have to wait to begin TTC again, and that some women never even had AF before they were pg again. I felt desperate to begin right away... just felt robbed of being pg... I'm sure you're feeling the same way... I think you just have to do what's right for you. You'll know when you're ready! I pray that your TTC journey is a quick one, and you're blessed with a BFP very soon!



    joey--LOL @ infertility mob! Looks like it's fate... everything's working out in your favor! Good luck at your appt. today--don't leave without that RX!! Keep us posted on how it goes...



    tutmae-- your temp was supposed to go up! Maybe you're being punished for not temping those couple days!
