2013 losses- rainbow baby making thread...

[george83]

Ugh. Officially 22 days since my D&C and still faint positive HPTs. And those obnoxious hormones are still making my face breakout and making me gain weight! I gained like 7 lbs from my 10 weeks of pregnancy... I hoped I'd lose it once the pregnancy was over (none of my bras fit...) but since then I've gained 3 more lbs! I feel like it has to do with hormones... I don't usually gain weight like this :-/ it's like kicking me while I'm down >.< No pregnancy but still getting fat!? *sigh* I just want to get preg again so I get my fat excuse back!

I know exactly how you feel, I've gained 7lbs since my miscarriage and i hate it none of my clothes fit me either, I have just started going back to the gym so I'm hoping that will help me feel better and maybe make it easier to fall pregnant again

Me too! I'm up 10lbs since the pregnancy and it isn't budging... I'm just trying to make peace with my current body.

I'm pretty sure I ovulated this morning. Had a pos opk yesterday afternoon. I wasn't able to inseminate yesterday but I got a donation this afternoon. I hope it was enough!

I'm grateful that my body appears to be working in spite of the residual hcg.

Baby dust to all!

Hi everyone and sorry for my absence! I will try to return full-time now. I've had some stuff to figure out with my husband about what the future holds. Last night, the contact was signed by both of us and we're going for it as soon as my period arrives...last period was March 31. We are going to keep trying despite our business and my husband said he'll try everyday because when "he wants to do something, he'll go all out." I think we'll just SMEP, but time will tell.

I've been admittedly shying away from this thread because I wasn't sure we'd be TTC again as I'd hoped and it was incredibly painful these last two weeks. This month, I'm out but I'll be here in May with you all. Sometimes, God has plans...and I think in my case I need to see you guys go first with the so I know how to handle the fear of the scans and those initial weeks.

From the bottom of my heart Nimyra, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. BIGGEST HUGS EVER. Prayers for a safe day today and more

Neverending, my prayers and thoughts are with you that this is your month. Raggydoll, Nimyra, George83 and all of you who are waiting to test...Big hugs and baby dust.

Good luck nimyra!

I really tight an early miscarriage was sop posed to be easier physically. Why on earth am I still getting some spotting 17 days later?

 

[Gei89]

Hey all! This is a great thread. We lost our little Angel about 5 weeks ago and had my D & C almost 4 weeks ago. My Fiance and I were told to wait for two cycles before trying again. I am waiting for my first AF after my D & C which I hope comes this week sometime and we are hoping to start trying again in May if my cycles come as planned. Good Luck to all of you ladies in your rainbow babies!!

 

[Nimyra]

AwesomeSauce,

I know what you mean. I still get random spotting some days and its been like, 7 weeks since my loss.

I think it is just a sign of our hormones working things out and re-regulating themselves. Try to be patient with your body. It will get there.

Thank you all for the well wishes.

I was on the phone with my daughter today and out of the blue she started talking about her "brother and sister." My husband said she started pointing to her tummy and his tummy. It was a little spooky, but also made me feel hopeful. Kids understand things that we don't sometimes. I hope she's telling us that she's going to have a sister. I think she understands that her baby brother went to Heaven.

That's so sad but sweet

I'm pretty sure the lines I was seeing on FRER is just left over from mc. Tested with FMU this morning- not even hint of a line.

 

[Raggydoll]

It's lovely to see you back Lucylake. I'm glad you've come to an agreement on TTC. I hope you get a May and a New Years baby

Gei89, welcome to the group, I'm so sorry for your loss. X

Has anyone else had this issue....I'm 16 days post-1st AF. And I'm guessing I've ovulated because I had cramping and could barely sit in my office chair today. And once again, in a repeat of last month and around Day 10 post-1st AF---3 TINY spots of blood. On my underwear--sometime at work and nothing when I wiped.

We're definitely trying next month and I'm VERY happy to say that I read things all wrong with my husband. I feared the worst since it's been 9 long years...turns out it really boiled down to him being more comfortable with 1) two AF's passing 2) A Feb birthday since he's a Feb baby 3) waiting to see if it was truly right for us since our 2nd baby was unplanned.

I feel MUCH more prepared to try in May....but just want to ask.

What are you lovely ladies doing that's special or different? Are you taking anything? Someone mentioned Bayer "Baby Aspirin." Could it help?

Thanks for your thoughts.

My husband is a smoker by the way and I'm BEGGING him to stop!!

 

[tlk71411]

I've heard others mention the post mc spotting.....others say its from ovulation. I'm 4 weeks tomorrow post mc. You should ask your Dr about baby aspirin. Some believe it helps. I recommend red raspberry leaf.

LucyLake, I'm so glad you and your OH came to an agreement and your feeling good about ttc in may

I've bought some OPK's to try to pin down ovulation and I'm planning to use the SMEP. I'm also wondering if there is more I can do to increase my chances of a BFP and a healthy pregnancy and baby

Good Luck to you Hun and I hope that may is your month!

 

[LucyLake]

I really want to SMEP as well. Thank you Kasey84 and tlk71411 and nice to meet you. I'm sorry for both of your losses and pray you each rainbow soon It's taking forever, but patience is virtue, right?

My husband said he'll go all out and commit to trying everyday. I actually don't want to, I did that last time and feel it guarantees a boy because the male sperm race faster and if there's a ton of sperm because you BD every single day--you are guaranteeing it. By the way, I WANT a boy lol because I feel I lost one. But, I'm excited about being surprised, if we're lucky enough to conceive, we might wait to find out the sex until the birth.

You should look into red raspberry leaf capsules. It helps build your uterine lining.
