Lauri--IKWYM about feeling like you're asking too much, and feeling almost guilty b'cuz there are people out there that don't even have 1 child! Part of me feels like I should be happy and satisfied with the children that I do have--but I've always wanted a girl of my own. When I met my step daughters they were 3 & 6, so I've never been able to experience having my own newborn girl! Now, all I want is a healthy baby--boy or girl!
I personally haven't experienced any bruising with the baby aspirin, but I've only been taking it for about 4 days, so I'm not really sure what to expect. Have you had any blood tests done to make sure everything's getting back to "normal"? I was supposed to go in on Thurs. to make sure my hcg levels have dropped, but forgot all about it. Guess I'll go in on Mon. for that. Monday begins my fertile days, and Wed. supposed to be O--started ttc last night. Because female sperm live longer than males, (I think I read that females can live 3-5 days) I'm hoping that last night was the night for my girl! DF will be very happy for the next week or so, b'cuz I'm going to try my hardest to make this my month! DF feels we should try everyday except for the days AF's in town--lol what a typical male, huh? Good luck with your appt! Thanks again just for listening!
Jen,
I feel exactly that way too! Just a healthy child, no matter the sex.(although I completely understand anyone wanting to have whatever sex child they don't have!!)(plus the adorable girl clothes and toys. Sorry, after Tonka trucks and jeans and little work boots, I dream in pink!) I have not had any bloodwork yet. I go back on April 15th(same day as my amnio had been scheduled) and want to be swabbed for everything I didn't have checked because I was sure I didn't have anything wrong. My amniotic sac broke before any bleeding, which makes me think infection.? I don't know, but I will be pushing for clotting panels, thyroid screening, antiphospholipid screening and whether my RH shot worked from the last pregnancy(according to the regular pregnancy bloodwork, everything was fine, but for all the blood taken(4 or 5 tubes) no hormones were checked and everything that was checked was such basic stuff.)I will try the aspirin and the suppositories because from all the books I have read this week(6 or 7 on miscarriage), it can't hurt. I am still bleeding although it has been a week. It browns then turns red with activity. I wanted ttc last night just because I was crawling out of my skin with thinking about all this but worried my cervix was still open slightly and the bleeding would worsen. I have read all different timing for trying again. The Dr. said wait until I get my period. Online and some books say 3 months, and I also read that women get pregnant immediately. Who knows? I just hope I have a few fertile cycles left!!
Anyway, thanks for all your info and thoughts. My friends and family haven't been through this and basically can't understand. Have a great day and I will write you soon.

Lauri--Thanks for the luck and baby dust! Right back atcha! It's funny about what you said about dreaming in pink & the girl clothes! I know exactly what you mean! I wore something pink every single day when I was pg hoping to somehow will my baby into being a girl!
Just finished my first cycle yesterday and started ttc. My dr. wanted me to wait 2 months, but there's just no way I can wait that long! I also read that there's no medical reason why you would have to wait that long. It's a personal thing, different for everyone, but you'll know when you're ready. So glad to have met you, even though it's under the worst of circumstances! I wish you all the luck in the world, whenever you decide it's right for you!
Hi Jen,
Just wanted to see how you were. I am waiting for a period(I guess?) and scheduled a
sonogram to make sure that everything in there is the way it should be! I also am doing a very large panel of blood tests, but can't do any of this for 2 wks. The DR. thinks I have an enlarged uterus. I have never heard that term but googled it and I guess it could mean fibroids. I hope all is well. Please let me know how you are doing.
Lauri
Hi laurie--I've been wondering how you're doing, thanks for the post! I hope AF comes and goes in a flash for you. I hope your sonogram goes well, and I'm glad to hear you're getting the blood test done. My dr. took 7 vials of blood after my m/c, and my tests all came back normal. When you decide to start TTC we'd love to have you over in the Trying to Conceive after M/C thread--we'll make sure you get all the support you need! Have a great day and thanks again for keeping in touch! Let me know if there's anything you need!
