We just lost our baby to an ect pregnancy and my right tube and I was told that I should give my body 4-6 months before ttc. I know that it has only been 3.5 weeks since it happened and I haven't even had my first AF (sorry tmi), BUT I don't think I can wait that long. Does anybody have any advice?? Thank you for listening.
Thanks for the warm welcome Jayne and Sez!
It's really comforting to know I can embark on this journey with others who've had similar experiences. I just know I'll be a mess when I am preggers again-- after two missed m/c's and no previous bubs (the cat and dog don't count right?) I can't say I have much faith in my bod to do what it is supposed to do. I actually kind of wished my tests had shown something so that there would at least be a "plan of attack" next time around. BUT I'm once again getting ahead of myself-- before I start worrying about being UTD I need to actually get duffed. So here we go again!
Jayne- Jessica sounds like a doll!! Hope she didn't kip for too long this arvo and dream about how she's going to "party" all night!
Lisa............HELLO (((echo))) Are you there, or are you hiding?!!!!!!!!
Where is everyone else this weekend? It sure is a quiet one!
Thanks for reassuring me Kelly! I feel better, but still like a bit of a loop!
Hope, I definitely count my staffy as my baby.......in fact I call her my baby girl all the time! I know what you mean about the test results, but honestly, it really is for the best that they all came back okay. GL getting duffed hun!
Welcome Kez! I don't know about the waiting time after an ectopic, but I sure understand your impatience - I think I'm the president of that club! I have a great friend who suffered an ectopic though, I'll ask her what she was told. Lisa might be able to help you too.......if she ever arrives! (JK Lisa!) If you DO have to wait awhile, please hang around in here. I'm supposedly not ttc yet (not that you'd know!) but I have found the gals in here to be just fantastic, so supportive and wonderful.
Well I am one hungry hungry hippo! Even though I ate a really good dinner last night (despite feeling sick, in fact still felt sick when I went to sleep) I woke up at 5am STARVING. I managed to hold out until 6.30am to eat brekky, but then couldn't go back to sleep! Just waiting to see if the nausea kicks in again today. Cramping has settled, is that a good or bad thing? Trying to be patient, but have now reached the foot tapping stage...............fidget fidget! Well, I'm going to go and buy a new telly today, so that should distract me for awhile! And I might hit Eastland or Knox while I'm at it! Maybe I could buy some more HPTs? JK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, really, I think I need a new ensemble for the races. Although, if I'm going to be pg I'll have to think about what sort of dress.....see, no matter what I do it always comes back to the tww!
Scanlon is having his morning sleep and I am feeling reasonably good.
Hope all are well.
Kelly - As far as telling people go, my approach has been that I have told every body about my 2 M/C, so I might as well tell people about pregnancy. I did not wait the "standard"12 weeks (except at work). It can be a bit stressful when everyone is asking all the time though!
Sez - 2 of my 3 pregnancies started with SEVERE cramping on the day AF was due. I was so sure that I was not pregnant. This included the pregnancy that resulted in "Mr Moo" as we call him! Based on my experience, I'm hoping its a good thing for you.
Kate - I know you posted your question re a possible implantation bleed a few days ago. What you described sounds like what I attributed to an implantation bleed. Fingers crossed.
Hope - Hi there. I hope hanging out here will ease your pain some. It has for me. One of my M/C was missed. I had to have a D&C, and DH and I did not wait to TTC again. AF came 6 weeks after D&C, and that month Scanlon was coneived. As far as "other" babies go, I count my 2 Jack Russells, Chester and Ruby as my babies. They gave me a lot of comfort after my first M/C. Dogs are so intuitive. They knew something was wrong and just wanted to sit on my lap all the time, it was beautiful.
Kez - Sorry for your loss. I dont have any advice about ectopic, all I can say is be kind to yourself.
Today is CD10 and DH and I are working on our BD. What approach do you guys take? Do you go "like rabbits" or do you take a slow and steady approach? Previously we have BD'ed on CD 8 10 12 14 16 18. What do you think about this?
Also wondering if any of you have come across many women who have been breastfeeding children when they are pregnant with a new baby?
I am still BF Scanlon, and though my Dr says it does not matter, BF causes the uterus to contract after birth, so I think it stands to reason that this may increase the risk of mc.
Any ideas?
