i had a d&c on november 30th, having to terminate the pregnancy since we discovered at 12 weeks that the baby had anencephaly. especially heartbreaking as i have had three mmc before that. we are trying again, despite the fact that i haven't had a period yet - not knowing when to expect either. we have decided to try for five more months and then we will proceed with our lives without a child. i am 39 and know that there are more risks as i age, and aside from taking progesterone suppositories for the last pregnancy we have been trying to conceive without any extraordinary means. i am now taking prenatal vitamins, 4000 folic acid and baby aspirin each day. i have my husband off coffee, light on alcohol intake (tricky at this time of year!) and he is taking zinc. any suggestions of anything we might be missing?? we are going away for the first week of january to unwind, relax and get to baby making. hoping we get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy - soon - but i am cautiously optimistic, and many days down right pessimistic of that outcome.
i guess it is up to each woman to know how she is feeling emotionally and physically. i can sympathize with you in regard to the fact that until your body heals and is ready you just get frustrated and impatient as you wanted the baby you lost and you want to be pregnant again - right away. however, the time between can allow your emotions to level out and give you some perspective. i hope that you have a speedy recovery and that 2011 brings you good news.
