in just in case 
)
for answers and bring on a cycle or even better..a BFP 
never thought I'd get here 
Anybody else the same?
Consultant has suggested I lose some of the excess weight to improve chances next time we are pregnant (my bmi is 27.4 - she said it probably won't matter but she had no other advice to give me because I do everything by the book!). You really have come to the right thread. I hope you dont feel like you won't ever have a healthy pregnancy and you have had al the tests that came back fine so what's to say you wont be joining all the other ladies on here with their successful pregnancies. You know the saying third time lucky? i'm sure it wasn't made for no reason. I think ntnp is a good way to go. Both times i fell pg was when we werent actively trying and we just let nature take its course. Now i am back to ntnp as i was on clomid for three cycles and it was stressing me and OH out big time! also turned him away from me. So we are also trying the relaxed method. Do you use any method for determining ovulation?
Patiently, so glad to hear the situation between you and OH is...getting sexier!!!! This stuff puts so much pressure on couples, it's any wonder we can have enjoyable sex at all. I'm happy to hear that you've been taking the more relaxed approach!
Lexi, I'm so sorry, hon.
NSN- Looks like things are progressing really nicely for you this time around. Huge congrats, and I hope you can relax a bit, and start to really enjoy it.
Ladyfog- You really give me hope. After experiencing 2 losses in 7 months, I'm praying a third can hang on for me like it has for you. Best of luck...what a miracle your little daughter is to you, and to many of us on here. Hope is a tough thing after 2 losses, you know?
AFM, my beta hcg is below 1 now, so now it's just a matter of waiting for AF to show up. If AF is on time, she may be here the first or second week of March. We'll see.
Oh, and I finally did talk the nurse into booking me in for an appointment with my doctor next week, on Thursday morning. This is when I'm going to beg and plead on bended knee for them to do SOME kind of recurrent miscarriage testing on me. I know I've had two, and not three, but like I said to the nurse...I'm 33, don't have any live children, so makes any of them think there WON'T be a 3rd miscarriage, after having 2 in 7 months? I mean, there's got to be an explanation, right?
In the meantime, I've been off caffeine for a whole week, I'm taking prenatals with 800 mcg of folic acid, a baby aspirin a day, and a B-50 complex, which contains an additional 400 mcg of folic acid. I guess I felt the need to take matters into my own hands a bit...I'm even researching some OTC progesterone creams to try in my luteal phase, just in case I do get pregnant again one of these cycles.
Hello ladies
I hope you don't mind if I join? This thread seems perfect for our situation and I would like to get to know other women in a similar place to me.
I've only read this thread to page 12 so I probably haven't seen everybody's stories but I am sorry for everybody's losses. I am pleased to see from signatures and tickers that since this thread started there have been some bfps that are now healthy pregnancies - it's the inspiration I need as well as being great news for the mummies to be!
I had a mmc at 10+3 on January 13th 2011. Ttc and fell pregnant in cycle 2, only to have another mmc. Had erpc on 2nd August which messed me up massively... Not only had I believed I'd be ok that time but my first due date was on 9th August so it was as though I was grieving for both. To add to that my step dad (hate calling him that - he brought me up from age 6) text me on my first baby's due date saying, "I'm a grandad!" with details of his biological daughters child being born early (you couldn't write it could you?! Lol!)
Haven't tried since. Had tests - consultant was happy to test after two losses as my mum's had 7 miscarriages so thought it may be something familial. All have come back negative... Should be happy but was hoping for a problem with a magic tablet cure!
I did it a bit of comfort eating between last erpc and test results in January leading to me putting on a stone!
Was waiting to try until in healthy bmi zone but fed up with it so will ntnp. I say that today but tomorrow I may be too scared to take the risk and replace all the condoms I threw out this morning! (it's an expensive pattern I've noticed over the last month or so! Hahaha!)
I spend most of my time thinking it will be third time lucky & being desperate for ovulation so we can try and then when ovulation is near I feign a headache, and try to decide how many more times I can go through a loss before deciding we shouldnt try again for the sake of my mental health and wondering if we should contact adoption agency because I'm convinced I won't have a successful pregnancy!
Sorry that was so long... I wanted to give you the background info and then found it therapeutic as I was writing
Hope you're all having a positive day
k.x
to those who need it x
