Treelo - Can you call me crazy if I've kept the pg test that had a positive? It was a turning point in my life and I kept the stick that showed positive (although it is clean)
Penny - Thanks for the good luck, he's the one that wants to wait, although I don't really. But whatever makes DP happy, then I'm probably gonna follow
pash - Yeah, we told our friends the day after I passed the big clot with a white bubble in it (tmi I know, sorry), because I was still so sure I was pg. Two days later I had to tell everyone that I m/c'ed. Majority of them said, 'Maybe you should have waited to tell us' and I was so angry at that - here I was sharing some fantastic news with them + even though the baby was gone, it was still a part of me. I actually felt like getting into a physical fist fight with them!
satya - My DP and I actually asked our doc about that after I found out I m/c'ed and he said 'Nope, not true at all' He's a pg and birthing specialist (how ironic) and he said that he knows of alot of women that have come to him, had a m/c and gotten pg three weeks later, only to go on and have a healthy baby - so there is still hope yet! :P
He also told me it varies person to person
LizJessie - all docs seem to have a different view on it but most prefer you to wait one cycle so that they can date the next pg properly if you do fall pg soon after. I didn't wait at all, just got straight back in there.... not that it's done me any good, here I still sit waiting.
I think it's more a problem of if you have some sort of problem (yet undiagnosed) and you do get pregnant very quickly after a m/c and then lose that one too it tends to hit you very hard indeed. I've seen this happen a few times in the time I've been hanging around in this thread since March. I just think that everyone needs to wait as long as both they and their partner need before TTC again so that they are mentally prepared for what is next to come - a pg, a m/c or long term ttc.
Just dropping in to wish PASH the best best of British with her job interview tomorrow! I hope this is the start of only good news from you Pash! Re. your question - all I can say is what else can anyone do but try try again? This is my attitude - of course it leaves us open to more loss or disappointment - it's a risk - I reckon it's the only true course of action in life. I am so scared my baby will die, it's like in my mind I seem to believe "this is what happens" - it's absurd and irrational, but based on past experience. I pray I'm wrong. So, once you have got to the bottom of why your levels are rising and all test results are back and you get the all clear to go for it - we'll all be here cheering you on!!
Hey Satya - you sound good! I'm not too worried about you right now! I think your close to some good news too!
Hello to everyone else, dropping some positive vibes in here.
I'm ok, had a pretty quiet weekend with the paper by the fire, eating lots, just passed 10 weeks, will be happy to get a few more weeks under my belt though.
