TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ March 08 #2

[fiona264]

plc1805 Thank you so much for your reply. I have started on the GI Diet and I absolutely love all the food on it. Its all the food I love but my family doesn't really like the heavy breads and stuff. Then again, they are not trying to conceive . I have a bit of weight to lose, so hopefully I will get to a weight that I feel comfortable with conceiving. My DH thinks I am fine, but its what I feel about myself and he wants me happy too. Hes a dollface

I know its stressful at trying to conceive and the age thing, but I have noticed that the age of conceiving is getting older and older these days, probably mostly to do with careers too. I feel so much better talking to you girls. Thank you.

Hello again everyone!

Tempus~Thank you for the welcome-hope your BDing worked out and you get a sticky bean!

Mel~Thanks for the welcome-I too have latched on to the idea that at least I can get pregnant...I was beginning to think I couldn't after trying so long...Hopefully it won't take long again once I am able to start the Clomid. BTW, I also love the Notebook and I absolutely sob every time I watch it-the most beautiful love story ever! I actually cried on Wednesday night for about 2 hours really hard and besides being tired and having swollen eyes, I have been feeling a bit better since then.

Magda~Thank you for the welcome-I hope this is your month for a BFP!

Plc1805~Thank you for the welcome...You did a good job of hitting every personal-that'll give us all something to strive for!

AFM~Tomorrow we are going to the Renaissance Festival and Sunday will be Easter lunch with some close friends so hopefully it will be a cheerful weekend. I am so glad to have found all of you-I was on a board before I got pregnant and up until this week when I miscarried but I am having trouble feeling like a fit in there now...Thanks for taking me in everyone!

Good Night everyone!

MMteacher ---- I'm so so so very sorry for your loss. My ordeal is still fresh too, and I have found WONDERFUL support here. These women here are AMAZING and STRONG! You will find great friends here and if you are like me you will find it is easy to be the "REAL" you around them. If you have a bad day then have the bad day, you dont have to try to "mask" it for the sake of others. (sometimes I find myself putting on a brave front for friends and co-workers. but here I can let it all out... it really does help.) So welcome and I hope your stay here is short and that you get your precious baby SOON!!!!!!

plc---- You and your DH "green light" day is getting closer!! I dont know when mine will be.... unfortunately the bleeding started back again. (still hoping it is just AF... LOL) I just dont get how it can start back after being stopped for a couple of days..... I do know that bleeding for any amount of time longer than AF really gets me depressed..... I guess its just a sad reminder. I go see the DR on thursday the 27th.. the day after my B-day. I hope that I'm "healing" well and get the go ahead for around the end of april. I was told no sex for one month (which will be april 7th) and then no TTC until after my first AF. That is why I am hoping being obsessive about wishing that this is AF trying to show up. Before I became PG my AF always came around the 23 to 25 of the month.

Well ladies, I am off to bed...... (I really need to figure out the time difference between here ((Florida)) and there. its 12:30am here and I have been home from work for about an hour and its my bed time.) I'm off to have peaceful dreams (i hope) and I hope you all have the same and have great days at work or home or in what ever it is you do today! BYE!!

fiona , i never thought i would be 41 and wanting a baby so badly, hang in there , hoping it will be out time soon. thankyou to everyone else for your support and for praying for me.

[fiona264]

betty boop I know....wanting a baby so bad. I thought I was over it, but since remarrying and loving a baby with my current hubby, its become somewhat of an obsession since my miscarriage last year. I wasn't even trying last year, now I am trying...nothing. Weird.

It just seems like I am getting older and older and my 42 birthday is coming up soon and its freaking me out! I would love to do IVF but I just don't know where to start. I asked my doctor about clomid and he looked at me and said, lose some weight first.....well, after I left I just cried and thought I had no hope left. I beat myself up about it a bit and now I am on a Low GI eating and I truly believe "If it was meant to happen....it will". Until then, I will just keep on stressin!

Hi Everyone

Hope your all enjoying the easter break.

mmteacher - sorry to hear of your loss. Be kind to yourself and let yourself heal emotionally and physically.

I was wondering - what were some of the really early symptoms you ladies had when you were first pregnant (ie before the BFP on the stick). I cant remember with DD (she is 3 3/4) but the last pregnancy which ended in m/c I had backache, cramps, bloating and really vivid dreams. I am now 6dpo and the last two nights I have had really vivid dreams (normally I am so zonked I cant remember anything in the morning). Jodsan - I had those kind of symptoms too so you are going to have a BFP!

We have set up the tent in the backyard and are going to sleep in that tonight. DD is sooo excited. DH and I are wondering if our backs will let us get up off the floor in the morning to go and put the eggs, bunny feet and bit of bunny tail out for her!

mmteacher - welcome. I am sure you will find some good support in here. Sorry to hear about your angel bub. Best wishes to you & let's hope this year brings you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Natty - my early symptoms (pre +POAS) were sore breasts (from around 8dpo) & that metallic taste in my mouth. I was too scared to POAS but my breasts were killing me and screaming out POAS so I did at 12dpo and got my BFP. Hope you get a BFP this month - crossing fingers and sending your way!

Fiona & Plc - my low GI buddies. Can't believe the lady who fell pg thinking she had to start IVF .It's so lovely to hear stories like that. I was trying to talk my SIL into the diet tonight, she's a bigger girl and they hope to do IVF over next couple of years so I'll encourage her to start.

Angelbabies - he he he you are so sweet sneaking in while DH is in the shower. Hope you are enjoying yourself - good luck for this month!

To everyone else - Happy Easter &......
good luck to those in tww for all.

Me - cd3, day 2 of my first clomid cycle. No side effects so far, am only on 50mg to start with. Trying to stay relaxed this cycle and am determined to keep the romance alive this month (sorry TMI).
