Welcome although im sorry its under such sad curcumstances. I am so sorry for the loss of your 3 precious angels. I have read in another thread that its ok to take them, although i think with most pregnancy vitamins, you get everything you need all in one. I think a pharmacist would be the best person to ask.
Yes it's fine to take in pregnancy. It was in my Pregnancy & breastfeeding multi vitamin that I was taking for the short time I was pregnant recently.
I must say I'm not looking forward to starting those vitamins again though, I could barely stomach them, the fish smell was foul and I could still "taste" them for about half an hour after I swallowed them. I don't know how I will swallow them if I have morning sickness.
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?
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!
LizJessie: I would love to send her your way but I fear I jumped the gun (wishful thinking I guess). That little bit was all I saw - it stopped again. ARGH! But whatever, I've got 2 wks til O and whether she comes or not, we'll TTC anyway! If I see her tho - I'll send her over!
Beaksie & Nellsbells: Welcome! I am sorry for the loss that has brought each of you here - I hope your stay is a short one.
Beaksie: I saw your little angels - I'm sorry you have lost so many. If I had mine up, we'd almost look like the same person.
m/c: Jul 03 & July 04, DD: Aug 3, 06, m/c: Jun 07
Here's hoping we both get to add another DD/DS very soon!

Hi sweetpetite! We are rather similar arent we? You must have just celebrated a 1st bday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your little one!!! My daughter turned 1 on the 8th, so we had a ball with the cake, games etc. I've actually just gotten back from the 12 month needles this morning. I was so proud, not even a whimper after 3 needles....much braver than her mother (lol)!
We're so lucky to have a healthy bub amongst our losses, it makes it all that much more bearable. Particularly after what some of the other ladies on here have had to go through, without a good result (yet!).
Hello Nellsbells and Beaksie - I am sorry for your losses and let's hope that your stay here will be a very short one!
Beaksie - My naturopath has also put me on the Omega 3 fish oil supplements. They are from nutri medicine and I think they might be practitioners only. Anyway, they have a coating on them and I cannot taste or smell anything fishy . Check with your doctor if you are unsure about taking them, I am taking them in addition to my prenatal vitamins.
Pash - You are such an amazing woman, finding the right supporting words for all of us after all that you have been through! Thanks again and don't stop "preaching", it was exactly what I needed...
I am glad to see that you levels are continuing to come down and keep crossing my fingers for you. Take care.
Pash- I don't think I am a "strong person" but I have been trying to be super positive. I got to a point last year when i finally realised that being sad or depressed only made ME feel worse. I know it's hard not to be sad and upset sometimes (we wouldn't be human if we weren't) but I try and see the positive in everything. It's not easy, but I'm trying. A balancing is kinesiology. Basically, you lie on a table and the person running the session kind of 'asks' your body what's wrong with it so it can 'fix itself' more or less. Sorry to anyone I've upset with my bad description. In my session we found, surprise surprise, that I had trouble "holding onto foetus or embryo". Who knew!!!?? It's not for everyone but I get a lot out of it.
Lee- I'm soooooo sorry you are back here. It's sad seeing the new faces pop up all the time but even more so when people leave and come back. I hope you, along with Satya and anyone else that has returned, are only here for a short visit. :hugs:
Satya- I understand your sadness with hearing about other peoples scans going well. I find them so scary now. I on't know if I'll be able to handle having them done next time because it's too hard when something isn't good on the screen.
Well, I am probably the only person in the world who was relieved to have a miscarriage. Only because I waited for about 5 weeks for it to start. Hopefully I won't still need a D&C after all this because that would be really annoying. So many people told me how crazy I was not having the D&C straight away. It just didn't feel right for me. Why do people (who have not even miscarried before) try and tell you that you should be doing something the way they think it should be done? It made me very angry. i also felt kind of stupid. It's all happening naturally now and I know that, for me, I have done the right thing.
Dawnee- Good luck with your O. BD as much as you can, I say. I'm glad your DH is happy to do that also. I can't wait to start TTC again! Good Luck!
Beaksie- My Ob gave me some Blackmores Breastfeeding and Pregnancy Supplements to take. They have Omega-3 in them. They don't smell or taste like fish, which is good. The only bad thing about them is that they are HUGE! I call them my "horse tranquilisers". I am still taking them now, and will continue as it's for a good cause.
Got a question for you all - i had a miscarriage 27/7 this year - it was my first pregnancy - my question is could i be ovualting - acutally how do i know if i am? i only went of the pill november last year so never got to really know my cycle before i fell pregnant so im pretty naive to all this!
Sorry for butting in. I check out this thread a lot to see how you are all going. This thread was a great help to me when TTC after my losses, and I like to see how you all are. I understand how hard this journey can be and I am glad you have each other, as I know it can be hard sometimes to find people who understand what you are going through.
I just saw ems' post and wanted to say that you definitely did what was best for you, and (as hard as it is) try and ignore other peoples ignorance. I also chose not to have a d & c as I did not feel it was the right decision for me, and I also encountered a lot of criticism for it. It was such a hard decision to make, I was in emergency where I had been waiting for 5 hours after the most traumatic day ever after being told at our scan that we were so excited about that our first baby was dead, and was faced with the most awful decision to make. DH was no help at all, and I did not want a d & c. They gave me drugs to make me miscarry and it was a pretty horrible and long experience, as I had to have another lot of drugs, and was close to needing a d & c after even the second lot didn't work. But in the end it all passed and I felt I had done the best thing for me. Even my own mother seemed to be tut-tutting me for not having a d & c, and she has no experience with m/c at all. I also had the feeling that DH thought I had made the wrong decision too, even though he would not help me to choose at all. It really is the last thing you need at a time like this. The most important thing is that you did what was right for YOU. YOU need to feel comfortable with your decision and you do, and that is all that matters!
Sorry again for butting in girls. I hope to see you all with BFPs as soon as possible!
Hi again, Thanks Ems and treelo for the encouragement I am hoping and have a good feeling about this.
Just need to ask though BD???? stands for???? well I'm guessing what it means but cant figure out how it got that abbreviation hahaha I bet I'll feel silly when you tell me.
Also can anyone tell me when would I do a HPT (if I don't get AF) before I have always known when I was due on and would wait till after that, but because I don't have that to go by at the moment wonder how long I' need to wait.......two weeks?? more??
Oh well back to work monday gotta do it I guess .
Hi to everyone else thinking of you all and sending you all positive vibes for your next attempts......--x--
