A little history on me. I have three awesome kids. My youngest turned 4 in December. We started TTC when she was about 18 months old. It took almost two years to get a bfp. That pregnancy ended at almost 11 weeks last may and was a blighted ovum. I got another bfp at the end of July. I carried that baby for nearly 17 weeks. A routine visit last october revealed the baby had died about a week before. Five months later and I got another bfp. At 6 weeks three days I started to bleed and a scan showed another blighted ovum and imminent miscarriage. I passed the sack yesterday. My due date for my second loss and the one that had an actual baby is on wednesday. I am so heartbroken, but hoping still to have another healthy baby.

People (not necessarily healthcare professionals) keep telling me I am losing these babies because I haven't waited long enough. What do you know about waiting vs TTC now?

I was tested for blood clotting disorders and thyroid problems but everything came back normal.

I can't seem to find a dr. Around there that knows much about recurrent loss. My midwives told me there was nothing they can do for me and that I am just really unlucky.
Today I saw a naturopathic dr. I don't know if I really buy it, but it can't hurt to try. He says I am EXTREMELY low on vitimin D and essential amino acids and that my ovaries are like shriveled raisins putting out crappy low quality eggs.

Hey Awesome,

I don't think the issue is relating to how long you waited to try. I think that is a myth.

However, I do think low vit D can impact fertility and I also think that extra vitamins never hurt anyone. What is the naturopath recommending in terms of amino acids? Is he just wanting you to add a protein shake in the morning? If so, that sounds pretty harmless. I don't think I'd spend my money on a bunch of individual amino acid supplements personally, but I don't think paying attention to nutrition hurts.

I've heard that Inositol and CoEnzyme Q10 can be good for egg quality, but I have found my stomach doesn't tolerate those well.

I just take my multivitamins, fish oil (DHA), and vitamin D and try to eat a reasonable diet.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

He wants me to take an essential amino acid suppliment. It is all in one capsule twice a day.

Hi awesome I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, it sounds like a living nightmare, I really hope you manage to get your sticky bean soon x x x

Good Morning or Evening (wherever you are) ladies!!

Awesome I really do not believe it is how long you wait in between. My dr told me I could ttc as soon as I stopped bleeding. I got a second opinion to be sure, and the medical officer said they reccommend waiting one cycle for dating purposes-but we do have U/S now so dating is no longer an issue.
I had a natural M/C at 6weeks2days. One Dr told me that if you have a D&C or were past 10 weeks they recommend waiting 1-3 cycles to be sure your lining isnt too thin. I hope that helps you! Good luck hon, I'm sorry you've had to go through this so many times =(

This gives me some hope. I must be completely insane to think that another bfp won't just result in another loss...but I am still going to TTC...and I do not intend to wait. Once I stop bleeding, sex shall commence. I hope the suppliments help me. I am also taking vitex with b6, hoping to regulate hormones a little quicker. I feel a gigantic hole in my family, and for some reason that I do not understand, I am driven to try again.

 

[tlk71411]

I'm also taking vitex! I feel like it really helps! Don't give up hon!

 

[karenh]

Awesome, I agree. The timeframes isn't the biggest issue as long as everything has passed from your misscarrage and your lining gets back to where it shoulds be. I would agree with needing the Vit D, B, and amino acids. They are really important in getting pregnant and babies development.

Hi ladies I had my first cycle since losing my daughter at 20 weeks back in February 2013, was amazing that I got it 5 weeks after delivery. My doctor said I was healed perfectly so my husband and I decided to start trying now. My cycle started on March 21st 2013 and ended on the 27th, we began tryin on the 28th. We are BD'ing every other day and using digital OPK's. I am now on CD 15, but still have not gotten a positive OPK. My cycles are usually around 30-35 days. So it says I should be ovulating sometime between now and April 8th 2013. If I do conceive I will be due December 28th 2013. I hope we conceive this month. Anyone else trying to conceive after 1 cycle? xox

If I do conceive I will be due December 28th 2013. I hope we conceive this month. Anyone else trying to conceive after 1 cycle? xox

We'll be trying by not trying to prevent - my doc said after one cycle was ok.
