6 months + since mc and no luck getting pregnant... Come join me in the wait!!

[Nataliek]

Mrskitty, I only ever used the digital OPK's, that way its easy to determine. I think going to a fertility clinic is a great option for you, it actually is much less stressful knowing you are being monitored throughout this whole process. If you can accelerate things, why not right? Try not to stress, keep testing for the next day or so or go get a digital.

Amanda, I know you will continue to worry until you have your ultrasound. Is there no way the doctor can get you in earlier?

Natalie how exciting fingers crossed for a decent egg this month.

Mrs kitty it's possible you'll get your positive tomorrow, sometimes mine would come even though the day befores opk had no line at all. But I definitely think seeing a fs seems like a good option at this point.

Amanda you're bound to worry but you've been sick which is always a good sign and no bleeding is also good. Just think positive, most pregnancies result in healthy babies and yours will be your rainbow.

I'm going for my NT scan on Wednesday, I'm so nervous even though I've seen the baby twice. I have no symptoms now and am feeling great, so I should relax and enjoy my pregnancy but it's so hard! I listen to the heartbeat on the Doppler and that only relaxes me for a few minutes. My first mc was at 13 weeks so I'm hoping once this scan is done I'll relax a bit.

 

[Nataliek]

Anniebobs, of course you're nervous. I think its expected that until you pass the 13/14 week mark, you are going to worry. How many weeks will you be at your next scan?

I am so sorry to be a debbie downer girls but I need to get this out. I should be so excited we are trying again and going into this cycle with hope and optimism. Instead, I am full of fear, doubt and anxiety. We have had 3 disappointments, one of those was a scary ectopic that put me at risk. I did my first injection last night, was totally fine, I didn't feel at thing. I keep thinking about what roadblock will come up this cycle, will the cycle be cancelled because I made too many follicles? Will I develop cycts from the meds and the cycle will get cancelled? Will I not respond to the meds and will the cycle get cancelled? Will I have a perfect cycle and not get pregnant?

Sorry to dump that on you ladies, I just needed to get it out. Thanks for listening.

Natalie never apologize! Dump out all the negativity you can on here, because we are honestly the very ladies who will understand and truly appreciate all that you are going through! I can level on the fear and anxiety for sure. Different reason but truthfully no matter where we are in the baby making journey it is stressful and can be a dark and scary time.

AFM: Today I feel pregnant. I scared my little boy pretty bad this morning though which makes me sad. He came to my bedside with some freshly cut fruits that he prepared with daddy's help and as soon as I came to I immediately needed to be sick. My husband thankfully realized and cleared the way to the ensuite so I could "relieve myself" my little guy began to cry and wanted to make it better. He was rubbing my leg and asked my hubs "is momma gonna be otay daddy??" Between sickness I told my hubs it was too much for him and to wait for me in the living room. After it was over I felt nauseous still but much better than I had felt upon waking. I shared the fruit with my little and the morning was pretty nice after that

My husband was beaming at my sickness which sounds cruel but I know it brigs him some peace knowing these are signs of a normal and Uneventful pregnancy. I am seeing more and more how hard the loss was on him. He is always stressing about how I need to sleep and rest more and to leave the house cleaning and not to lift ANYTHING! Haha it's adorable but it's getting old... I am pregnant not o my deathbed waiting for a miraculous recovery. All that said I understand why he is doing all that he is, it's his only way to contribute to a successful pregnancy at this point.

That's why we decided to NTNP Natalie. I feel the same way. I want to wait till I'm excited about trying again. It's taken such a toll on me. I almost dread getting a bfp because of how it usually ends. All it takes is one miracle though and it'll make us believers again

Yay for sickness Amanda!!! I mean at least from a symptom standpoint. So good! It's your sticky baby!!

 

[Anniebobs]

Natalie it's completely normal to have all those worries. I didn't have to see a fs but every new cycle was full of worry for me up until we stopped trying and gave ourselves a break while i had testing done. That was what I needed at the time. We got no answers but when we decided to ntnp it felt a lot more relaxed (until the tww anyway, but I don't know anyone who survives that without being up and down!) We are all rooting for you here, but be as down as you need to with us because getting it out in here makes it easier to deal with irl.

Amanda yay for throwing up! Your poor son though, I've got to admit I've had a few of those moments with dd too. They'll forget it soon enough I'm sure!

My scan is tomorrow when I'll be 13+5. Had a listen in with the Doppler again today because I was convinced I'd miscarried and found the heartbeat and even felt baby press up against the wand. Still feeling so nervous though, hopefully it'll get easier after tomorrow.

Hi please can I join. I lost Emily to SIDS in 2008 and went on and had 3 rainbow babies.

I had a miscarriage in Jan this year and nothing yet. Could really do with some support as I ttc.

How do you use soy isoflavones? I have been using the Cb digital ovulation sticks with no luck.

I know it hasn't been six months since the miscarriage but I am really struggling.

love Charlotte x

 

[Nataliek]

Emily Rose I am so sorry for your loss of your sweet Emily. My sister lost my nephew to sids when he was 4 months old, I know that pain she went though and our family went through. No one should ever have to endure the loss of a child, my heart goes out to you. It's a very difficult journey and we will support you throughout! I don't know anything about soy isoflavones but Amanda tried them I think!

Amanda despite how yucky being sick when you're PG is, I am so happy you are having symptoms that are great signs everything is going well! My son gets upset when I am sick too, it's hard on them I know. It won't be long now until your first ultrasound, can't wait to hear all about it!!

Thank you so much for your words Anniebobs, it helps to be able to get my feelings out here to women that are going through exactly what I am. I am going to do my best to get through this next week as relaxed as I possibly can. You are pretty far along right now, I am glad you have a Doppler. I would be using it ten times a day I bet lol. Let us know how your scan goes, can't wait to hear the good news!!

Leah I know how you feel, im pretty much ready for some good news. Have you considered consulting a fertility doctor?

 

[Anniebobs]

Scan went well, I'm so relieved. Will do a proper reply later.

 

[Nataliek]

Great news, Anniebobs!

[Anniebobs]

Emily Rose I'm so sorry for your losses. I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a child to SIDS. Welcome to this group and good luck on getting your rainbow.

Amanda isn't it your scan today? Good luck!

So my scan went well, I was put forward a day and am now 14 weeks. I can relax now! I think it's a boy, though we're staying team yellow anyway! And he looks just like DD, I am in love. Hopefully I'll start feeling some movements soon to put my mind at ease too.

There is light at the end of the recurrent miscarriage tunnel!

 

[amanda111308]

Aww that is great news Anniebobs!! So glad to hear you are feeling more confident in this pregnancy!

Emily rose... I have no words to describe the devastation I felt reading your story. I hope you can find some comfort on here, we have some great ladies who have helped me through some very dark times. Praying for your rainbow take home baby!

AFM my scan is today and in a few short hours. Feeling very anxious a tiny bit excited but mostly worried. I just pray to God everything is ok. please keep me in your prayers ladies. It's pouring down rain today and kind of depressive outside... Trying not to let it feel like a bad omen...

 

[amanda111308]

30 minutes to go!! I re-read the letter and it said drink 1 litre of water an hour prior to the scan time and I drank 2 litres!! Gaaahhh!! I hope I don't pee my pants!!

 

[MrsKitty]

Amanda I hope you can hold it in a bit longer lol! Thinking of you and will be looking out for your update.

Emily Rose welcome to the group. I can not begin to imagine what you have been through. I am hoping your rainbow comes soon and hope it will help having these lovely ladies to talk to.

Annie, I am so excited for you! It gives me hope reading about yours and Amanda's rainbows.
