Any other summer D&C's trying for fall BFP?

[Laska5]

Thanks everyone!

What is everyone's next testing date? I'm suppose to start AF (if everything is back to normal) on November 20th. Too bad I'm not a few more days ahead- hubby's bday is November 14th, a BFP would be a fun bday surprise for him! Speaking of his bday, I need to think of something to get him!

Hey laska! Maybe it can be what you're thankful for on thanksgiving!! I ovulated today I think. Got a peak yesterday afternoon so I'll see what my temp is tomorrow. Although I've just started that and not sure how it's gonna work this cycle. I have an appointment with a high risk obgyn on nov 13 Bc I have mthfr and my homocysteine levels were elevated so I may require blood thinners during pregnancy. Anywayssss I'll prolly test like the 10th Bc Id like to know before I go there. Good luck lady!!

So I'm trying really hard to focus on the good things now Bc I was so down and depressed after not being pregnant last cycle. I signed up for my first 5k today! Hubby and I are gonna do the turkey trot on thanksgiving morning!! What's new with everyone else?!

I THINK I"M GOING TO FREAKING RIP OUT MY UTERUS OR SOMETHING & SCREAM BLOODY MURDER!!!!!! I started bleeding again & passing more weird clot/tissue looking stuff. I really don't know what it is. As a postpartum nurse I've seen lots of blood clots in my life & I've never seen this before which makes me think it's tissue but I would think there wouldn't have been that much left in me! It wasn't like a clump or a sack but a 'string' of something. Sorry if that sounds gross. I'm so ready for this to be over with. Going to have to go back to the doctor now. <------- all of me right now just going in circles with this stupidness of a storm I'm in and I'm just begging it to stop!!! arrgg!!

Hi everyone.

I had my D&C on the 30th September. Baby was very much wanted but prospects for him looked very grim. With an extremely heavy heart my hubby and I chose to terminate. I am now 39 and am desperately wanting to fall pregnant again. We have a beautiful little 1 year old son and can't wait to extend our family.

AF came exactly 29 days post D&C so it looks like I had a normal cycle post procedure. I'm now day 3 into AF and am just wishing my days away waiting for the time we can start trying again. Fingers crossed that this cycle is a normal one and we can be testing for that BFP come December. Good luck to you all.

Wow laska. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine being in your shoes. It sucks to have no control over it. When are you going back to the doc??

Welcome bundle and millyr. So sorry for your losses. Hopefully you will have you bfp soon!

Thanks Pharm- I'm feeling so depressed & have lost the energy to do anything. I'm able to make it through work but I get home & I just loose it- can't keep it in all day.

My doctor was out of the office today so I don't have an appointment yet- I should be able to make an appointment tomorrow- hopefully it'll be for early next week. I'm so tired of this, it just doesn't seem fair.

I know laska. Which is why these forums are so nice. I was the same way after my d&c. I could hold it in at work after a few days but I'd come home and lose it. And I felt like I couldn't let people know I was still super sad Bc no one wants to be around a depressed person. It's taken me a long time I feel like to enjoy things again and be happy again. Which I'm normally a happy person so I just felt so off. Once you are back on the road to normalcy I think you will find a lot of relief. I hope that is sooner rather than later for you. Good luck at your appointment and let us know what they have to say!!

I hope so too, I haven't had any bleeding since Wednesday- I hope thats a good sign but if history repeats itself since the D/c- I could bleed again any minute. I am so ready to move on from this.

Had my doctors appointment today (different doc than who did my d&c) and he was great & very reassuring on everything. He just basically said my response to the progesterone pills was normal & that some women take a lot longer than others to get back to normal after a miscarriage and unfortunately I'm one of them. He said some women take up to 6 months. So it's pretty much a waiting game & it could be another 2-4 months before I have a normal cycle & am ready to try again. I'm so bummed. It looks like I'm totally out for the rest of the year. Hopefully we'll be ready to TTC again in January, thats what I'm shooting for at this point. Never thought this would be such an awfully long & drawn out experience.

I think I may have to take a break from this forum for a while & focus on something else for awhile, I have so much healing that still needs to be done.

I hope everyone else is having better luck this month!
