TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ October 07

[Beaksie]

Hi Satya - thanks for the info about Maybe Baby. Want to try something else, but the logical part of me says Ive conceived 4 times without doing all that so Im really in 2 minds about the whole thing. Thought it might be interesting to know my cycle a bit better though. Might help save me from stupid waits like this one. If I knew when or even IF I o'd this cycle, I might have more idea about whether AF is coming iykwim.
Your symptoms sound promising, Ive got my fingers crossed 4 you. Im so glad youve sorted out stuff with DP. Does this mean you're back TTC (properlY) again? Or are you gonna wait a bit, if this cycle doesnt turn out to be the one??

Beaksie, I'd suggest temping. If you do that you can tell the day you O and also work out when AF is about to arrive (from the temp drop & because of your luteal phase). I've found it very handy to know when AF is due. I used to think I was a 28 day cycle and found this not to be the case once I started temping and I also found a get AF 11-12 days after Oing. I'd recommend temping for sure. We are not TTCing as such as the timing really is not right, we just weren't careful. Also I haven't had my lap yet so a pregnancy probably will not survive until I have the D&C done. It would probably be best if I'm not pg because if I am it will be stressful.... worrying if it's the right thing to do while we are trying to heal things but also worrying about the possibility of another m/c and all the damage it did to our relationship last time.

Hi all,

Beaksie, I tried the maybe baby for a number of cycles, and I've ended up returning it to a box in my bedside drawer. I couldn't say that it was sensitive enough for me (or maybe too sensitive) - I would be 'ferning' more days than not in my cycle, so I really couldn't distinguish between what was true ovulation ferning & then what was fake ferning IYKWIM. This is my second cycle now using OPKs, and have found them to be more accurate at pinpointing ovulation. I also chart temps, but I'm such a poor sleeper (always have been) that I have no doubt that my nightly (2.00am) rendevous with a cup of milo in the lounge in front of the TV has an effect on my readings.

Sorry for the lack of personals to other forum members - I feel that I know each of you very well because I read your updates daily, but I must admit I have a tendency to only reply to those questions I feel confident in responding to. I can empathise with everyone in this forum with the angst, and the anxiety, and the OCD tendencies we all seem to share alike. I really hope that we can all move on out of this forum into bigger & better forums very soon (ie PAML) - no offense meant by this of course!

Hello everyone,

Before i forget can someone teel me what rofl stands for - i just have to know!!

Beaksie - you have got us all in suspense that you have some great news for us soon.

missbelinda - hello there - all the best getting the big O this month

hi treelo - gosh what a difficult situation for you - i hope you go with your gut feeling and make a decision keeping in mind what is best for you and your family best of luck & yes my cycles are all over the place too

hi bunny - yes i agree cycles are all over the place after mc &/ d& C - my first af after my d& c was 28 days and my second af took 32 days.

I would have to agree with satya (hello there) and say that it is worthwhile temping especially when your cycles are not regular
I don't have a lot of experience with it but i have decided to give it a go cause i've got nothing to lose - I sort of feel empowered (sorry couldn't think of a better word) and a bit more in control of things since starting to temp and taking note of the CM.

STARRYSKY - HELLO!! Yes I was told that taking your temp vaginally is the most accuate for tracking your cycle. I hope you don't have any nightmares tonight dear girl.

Me - I am fine not much to tell just about to cook some dinner - mexican yummy
