TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ August 2007

[nellsbells]

Hi all, your stories are so familiar to me. It is comforting to know I'm not the only one out there feeling these things, especially as so many of close friends and SIL are expecting. My story is"
My DH and I have been TTC since oct 06, cycles were all over the place, i commenced on clomid in May and fell pg first cycle, we were so excited. Unfortunately we lost our baby last friday at 11weeks 1day. I had a D&C on monday and just want to get going again, because i feel the only way to end my sadness is to be pg again. My FS advised for me to see him in 6weeks to induce AF and then start clomid again. Obviously I would like to pg this cycle and have read that it is possible, my dilemma is when/if i would ovulate. I lost a lot of blood, could this impact on my next cycle?? I charted previously to clomid but we weren't certain I was even Ovulating, so it wasn't very clear. When will my pg hormones go? Should I have blood test each week to check? they never offered this to me. I'm feeling so sad and impatient. Anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks ladies

Satya - you made me cry that you were crying for me - it has been such a cruel choice to have to make, and I'm so very very sad for my little man.

I woke up today with a bit of the old vitality returned, guess those pregnancy hormones are dropping - although it's good to not feel sick - I'd rather be suffering morning sickness.......

Caught up with my midwife (from my March birth) - who has been very supportive and a wealth of knowledge. She tells me women are usually very fertile after a D&C.

I can't believe that a short 3 days after such a terrible thing was done, I'm considering going again, but I am. We women are suckers for punishment, BUT, it's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow we seek - and I'm determined I will get it, I'm not giving in. And neither are any of you.

We'll see what happens............

Thanks for your kind words everyone, it really helps.

Thanks girls for answering my post. To Nellsbells, welcome, and sorry for your loss, you've come to the right place for a bit of support. About your HCG levels, it can take quite a while before they go back to normal. I took 6 weeks, and usually you don't have blood tests to check this, unless there's another underlying issue they want to check, though you might be able to request it.
Lee- I've read your story,a nd I'm totally devastated for you. How cruel it is that one person can go through so much. You must be an incredibly strong person to be able to pick yourself up, and I truly hope that your next pregnancy results in the gorgeous baby you deserve....look after yourself!
