2013 losses- rainbow baby making thread...

[Peacenik]

A bit of good news - AF arrived today - just one day later than I expected. I hope this means my cycle is well on it's way to normal.

I'm glad you got af, although it still feels weird to think of af starting as a happy thing! I hope your cycle is pretty normal, are you trying after this af or waiting longer? x x

Tell me about it, I NEVER that I'd wish for it. I think we'll 'try' by not trying to prevent. I'm not going to temp or chart though - I learned my lesson when we first started to 'try' and that made me nuts. My doc said one cycle, so here I am. I'm not positive I'm mentally ready, but I really don't think it'll happen that quickly anyway, and if I don't 'try' I know I'll regret it later since time isn't really on my side. My eggs and I are ancient.

Congrats on your AF Peacenik and I like what you said about not going all out. I changed my mind on buying Preseed yesterday and only got the OPK's. Not going to do much, but SMEP is what I'm hoping for. And I'll test just in case hubby isn't in the mood to SMEP around the right time.

I'm just feeling the same. I'd never thought I would almost pray for AF to come. But here I am, 3 weeks after D&C, with usual symptoms, but no AF on the horizon!
I know it's still early, but I so want to get over this nightmare! And since I had a partial molar pregnancy, I also have to wait for my HCG level to drop to negative!
God only knows how long we'll have to wait to be able to even TTC again

So glad it looks like your cycle is back on track!

UGH!!! So I have a genetic mutation that causes dvt and when you have the mutation you are more at risk for not only blood clots but also miscarraige still birth and high blood pressure duting pregnancy

 

[Neverending]

What is pressed? Also a cup what's that?

I know preseed is a lubrication for conception-it doesn't hinder sperm like ky and other lubes do. Idk about soft cups?

The waiting is so horrible, it's like a constant reminder of what happened x x

I'm in the same boat. Had my D&C just over 5 weeks ago and just want AF to come so I can be on a fresh cycle and start trying properly again. So frustrating.

Neverending: I am so sorry about your clotting issue. Is there anything they can do to help it? Soft cups are a new form of menstrual protection, and people like to use them to try and “keep the sperm in”. I haven’t tried it, but I know some who swear by it. Here is their website: https://www.softcup.com/

I don't know how they work for keeping sperm in but I've used a diva cup for about ten years and I love it. Using pads after surgery just made things seem even more foreign - I really missed my diva cup. Reusable, clean, never overflows and I never feel like I'm sitting in blood. Highly recommended for AF. They make several brands of reusable cups, here's a site that looks at some of them: https://menstrual-cups.livejournal.com/648061.html

My only complaint is that I didn't discover them sooner!

Karenh I just noticed you're from Oregon?? I'm from Oregon! Miss it so so much, being stationed her in SOCAL. =( YAY for Oregon buddies!
I stopped bleeding Thurdsday but getting positive on both HPT and OPK.....but I got EWCM yesterday so I'm praying thats a good sign. trying to DTD as much as possible before hubby leaves!!! FX for all of you.
Happy for you ladies that got your AF finally!!! =)

I use something called a mooncup for AF and have started using it in the aid of TTC as well. I sterlise it after every use. Its the same idea as a softcup. xx

I am so sorry. Welcome to the group.

 

[Miniegg27]

I'm sorry awesome. X

 

[Neverending]

Wow sorry guys!!! I'm not sure I'm changing my ob I had the worst time I live in a small town and we looked up the people who "helped" me and they aren't even obs!!! Seriously. That cup sounds awesome lol. The clotting really freaks me out because my grandpa had clots and so does my mom she even had pulminary emboli I'm not sure what being on blood thinners while pregnant would do either so need to consult my new to make sure I do everything I can on my part.
