    Babyjuz - Sorry to hear that you are going through the heartbreak of a m/c and have had to join this group. Everyone heals differently and everything you feel is completely understandable. It is no consolation but m/c is much more common than we think. 1 in 3 pregnancies miscarry but many women go on to have healthy pregnancies in the future. I didnt need a D&C so i can't imagine how tormenting it must be for you to have to wait to have it done.

    With regards to TTC again.. i agree with the other girls. Everyone is different. I wouldnt let my hubby touch me for the first week. I just felt revolting/useless/damaged etc. But after that i enjoyed being intimate with him because it made me feel closer to him, and like he accepted things and that was a comfort for me. I wasnt worried about waiting too long afterwards because i didnt need a D&C, had stopped bleeding after 3-4 days, had no pain and an ultrasound said my endometrial lining was back to normal. Everyone's body is different though. It would be best to ask when you have the D&C.

    Most importantly it is your body - and only you know how you are feeling. There is no right or wrong way to grieve for your loss. The women on this forum are amazingly uplifting.. even in times of distress/hurt/pain/loss.

    My thoughts are with you during this tough time. xx

    Hi ladies,

    Im back again. So sad to see new faces and glad to see some of the old ones are not in here. After a few crappy months (incl. the due date for my angel baby) im back for a while before we start trying again. I like that this thread is full of support and understanding and i feel i can type in here without being judged...

    On another note, i have been diagnosed wiht PCOS I dont know what this means for me in terms of TTC again because my doc wasnt very forthcoming with information for me andthings that i have found on the net are not making very much sense. Is this the end for me in terms of TTC? Do i even have a chance of getting PG again? The doc said to me that the best thing i can do for my PCOS is to lose weight (which i need to any way but still) and that i "cannot try to concieve" until i have done so. It is so hard for me to lose weight and i put it on so easily. I feel like i will never be pregnant and hold my much wanted baby. The doc also suggested that i go on Metformin but not until i have lost 10% of my current body weight...

    Its so hard because i just want to TTC right now but i cant

    Im so sorry for my rant....
