TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April 08 #2

[nicksterUK]

Hey Angel xx
Hey Laura xx
Hey all you lovely ladies xx

Yep, am still lurking and am here to throw a tonne or two of over everyone and wish you all good luck. It's a damned fine idea to have a mass exodus of this thread and all head over to PAML. I'll come with you then, cos I still can't go over yet!!

Just got back from visiting the parents and the in-laws on a quick overnight trip. We didn't really want to go as it's a 4 hour drive each way. Took us 6 and a half hours to get back due to bloomin' traffic jams and road works so an early night is in order.

I am ok at the moment (not too stressy) adn we'll be 13 weeks pg tomorrow. Got midwife on Wednesday so hope to hear bubs heartbeat again.. then I really will feel ok. Completely identify with those feeling anxious as the days tick by and the weeks crawl along. Constant worry at the back of my mind, and a little prayer every time I visit the bathroom that all will be 'normal' Hey ho! Chin up and looking forward...

Best wishes and love to all- so looking forward to having these POAS confirmed and some new ones in the pipeline. Good luck xx

Hello everyone. I'm new here and wanted to ask a question to those who have had an early miscarriage (5-6 weeks). How soon after the miscarriage did you have your first period?

It's been 3 weeks for me and the waiting is driving me crazy. My doctor told me it should take 2-4 weeks. To make matters worse, I've been nauseous for the past three days and extremely tired. I took a pregnancy test today which was negative. Has anyone else had symptoms like this as their body healed from the miscarriage?

Thanks so much. I'm sorry that I don't know the short hand and have to type everything out. Hopefully I'll learn soon.

Welcome GiiGii - sorry about your loss, but you've come to the right place, the girls here are really supportive and helped me through some of my worst days, you just feel like one of a very special family.
My loss was at 8 weeks, my first AF was exactly four weeks later, but for everyone it varies.
There is a thread that shows all the shorthand.
I hope your stay here is a very short one. Be gentle on yourself and give yourself and your body time to recover.
smilanatu - hope that naughty witch doesn't turn up for your - your symptons have been really good
Betty - Yay, that's good news, won't be long now
nickster - glad to see you still pop in - wow 13 weeks, wonderful won't be long until your belly gets really FAT.
Jen - all our fingers are crossed for you. maybe you could be the leader when we all cross over to PAML

Welcome GiiGii...I am so sorry about your loss...I am sure you'll find much comfort here.

It really varies and is dependent on your body as to when AF will arrive. I m/c and had a D & C December 19th 2007 and AF didn't return until March 1st 2008.

Goodluck TTC! I hope AF arrives quickly for you.

mollycat...I was typing as you posted I guess...LOL...I hope AF is gone for at least 8 - 9 months!

nickster--Glad you're still lurking and things are going so well for you! 13 wks--woo hoo!

smilanatu-- It's not over till AF shows! You've had so many promising signs, so don't give up hope yet! Did you try POAS just in case?

GiiGii--Welcome to BB... I'm so sorry for your loss My cycle started 25 days after my m/c (at 8wks.). Of course it's different for every woman, but 2-4 weeks sounds about the norm. I'm sure it will happen so, but I know exactly how frustrating it can be to wait for it to happen! I personally didn't experience any nausea, but it might be a good idea to call your dr. to make sure all is well. I was, however, extremely tired--but your body is completely out-of-whack right now, so that's to be expected. I hope you find the support that you need here! You're in my thoughts and prayers!

mollycat--I would be honored to, as nickster put it, lead the mass exodus into the PAML thread! Shall I change my name to Moses and demand that this thread "Let my people go"? Lol... j/k! Oh, if only it were that easy...

Well, now I really understand why they say dont test too soon. It was negative this morning, cant find a trace of anything. DH and I still agree yesterday's test was positive, I've kept it of course. So I guess it was a false positive? It's still early so I guess im still in with a chance. Very confused though, still feel pregnant! Does anyone know which brand of pharmacy sell First Response, I went to 4 yesterday and noone had them?

I will pop back a little later for some personals, DS is driving me nuts!

Thank you. I've already begun to be comforted by the kind responses.

The prayers are very appreciated. As wait for AF to return, the last thing I need is to "feel" pregnant. I've been feeling weird for about a week. If it continues for another week, I will call my doctor. Thanks again.

Mollycat - Can you provide the link to the thread containing the shorthand? I couldn't find it. I will try to be gentle on myself. I have so many issues that are making this difficult. The first being my age. We had actually given up on TTC after I was told I couldn't last year. Thanks for taking the time to reply and lend your support.

Still squeezed in the end-of-the-school-year crunch time, I wish I could respond all personals but I can't please forgive me

jen805: my doc puts me on progesterone 3dpo, but he follows me closely with ultrasound and bloodwork to determine when that happens. If you go on progesterone before you ovulate, you could have implantation problems or not ovulate at all.

Welcome Giigii,

I had a m/c at 5.5 weeks and I got my period exactly 4 weeks to the day from the first day that I bled (m/c). I did not have any nausea but have been tired and run down. When my cycle came, I had sore BB's and was tired and hoped for a quick BFP but there she was....AF...Anyhow, a friend of mine got pg two weeks after m/c and didn't know it because she kept waiting for her period to start....Everything turned out well with hers! Hopefully you are in that situation....Sorry to hear about your lost angel...

More persies over the weekend!

Hi ladies, I've really felt low today after yesterday's high. DH has been so good. I'll test again tomorrow to make sure but it should have at least been the same faint line this morning so it was ether a false pos or a chemical pregnancy. I feel like I'm getting PMS today too, very irritable and loads of AF cramping. Arggh, I guess I'll know for sure in the morning.

Gii Gii - Sorry I didn't welcome you yesterday So sorry for your loss I had a mc at 5.5 weeks, the mc just ended up feeling like a heavy AF, then 29 days later my next AF came as usual. So in step with the other girls really. As far a how your feeling, my cycles have been bizarre since the mc, I seem to have developed severe PMS which causes nausea, swollen breasts, cramping (which has always been very subtle), moodswings, irritability - you name it! The first month was definatley the worse, I was all over the place. So from my experience, its perfectly normal, your body just needs time to adjust as it was getting ready for bubs and now it probably doesn't know what its doing. My Dr has prescribed me more sleep and more exercise to try to get my hormones back on track. Good luck, hope Af comes soon so you can feel normal again.

Hey everyone else, hope you're doing ok!
