3rd cycle of TTC

[Rei]

Anyone else just start their third month of TTC after a loss? I had my D&C back in june and we just started trying in september. My cycles have been kind of short since my D&C so this is my third cycle.
Anyone doing anything differet? OPK's, Temping etc? This is the last month I'll be able to try otherwise I"ll have to wait a couple of years >.>;

Hi Rei,

I'm sorry for your loss Why do you have to wait a while to try again if you don't end up preggo this time around? That seems like a huge stress, and it's not an outcome that's under your control.

I recently had my third (I think) ovulation since my D&C in August (was a mmc... embryo lived until about 7 weeks 2 days but I found out 2 weeks later that I had lost him/her). This is only our 2nd cycle trying since the op. We decided to not try for the first cycle. My second cycle was a bit strange, though by now things seem to have settled back to 'normal'. So I don't know... I won't test until AF is late, and I don't expect her until around Nov. 6.

I'm not really doing anything different. I tried temping once a few years ago, and ended up with a chemical preg anyway... the whole thing just stressed me out (plus I have a toddler... how do I *not get up* at least once before my wake up time? Pretty sure that messes with the temping). I've never used OPKs but I get pretty obvious Mittelschmerz so luckily I tend to know within a day when I'm ovulating. If I didn't have the pains, I would use OPKs I think!

Good luck - I hope this is your cycle!

I lost my baby in August and had a D&C AF didnt show up for 7 LONG very annoyin weeks . This is my 1st cycle im not TTC concieve like i did with MC. Personally I think all the temps and OPKs cause me to much stress and i get really disappointed if i dont get pregnant. Im taking prenatal vitamins but i dont even know if my body is ovulating or not.

Ladies, first I would like to say I am so sorry for your loss.

Jasmine Frame I don't know how you did it, but I would have gone oyC, I've started taking some prenatal vitamins as well. I hope you get your bfp!

Loraloo my fingers are crossed for you this sunday!

Eva1978 the reason why I will have to wait a long time is because I am a student and I want to have my baby before I start the in depth clinical portion of my nursing school. I am only doing one clinical next semester and it is really just the basics. If I wait longer than I will have to start trying AFTER I get out of nursing school and that is too long in my opinion. I'm terrified I will go through what I went through with this pregnancy and have to wait 7 months every time between miscarriage and TTC
Because of this my husband and I have been discussing other options. If I have to take a semester off I might do it, but we don't know yet. As of now this is the plan.

I might try opks, that is what a lot of people are recommending, I wake up to many times in the middle of the night to temp I think ><

I'm on cycle three now too, Rei. I don't think I have ovulated since my mmc in July. This cycle has been the most normal one of any of the other cycles I've had so far, so I'm hoping this will be our month. Doctors recommend waiting at least three cycles after m/c and now I see why. Some women get pregnant in a jiffy but for many ttc before then will just be setting yourself up for disappointment. Hopefully this is your month too. I would love for us to be pregnancy buddies!

I have to agree. My periods have been very heavy and lasting a long time since my D&C and this past cycle was finally pretty normal and that was my 4th cycle since the D&C so I'm hoping the 3rd month of TTC is the charm XD I think I'm gonna try preseed. I've heard good things about it, anyone else?

This is our 3rd cycle trying after a d&c at 12 weeks. I'm terrified the d&c might have affected my fertility. My periods do seem mostly normal again so hopefully that's a good sign.

We are using preseed again since I don't get much CM. We used it when I got pregnant with my son so hopefully it works again!

 

[Rei]

I heard good things about preseed. My husband and I have been talking so we might try one more cycle after this if it doesn't work and I was thinking about getting preseed
