Difficulty Conceiving after MC

[AprilShowers1]

Hey ladies! Sorry for your losses. I had my mc back in October and had a d&c. We have been ttc for about 6 months now with no luck. Is anyone else having trouble conceiving since their mc/d&c? My periods have become regular and I'm getting positive OPK's. I'm just wondering if an actual egg isn't being released or if my hormones are off? Or maybe it's just not meant to be yet. It only took me 2 months to conceive with my first pregnancy. This ttc stuff is emotionaly draining for my hubby and me!

Note: I have been getting cramping a week before period and get brown spotting a couple days before period starts. Is this a bad thing?

I'm sorry my dear.. I know how frustrating it is to go through a loss and then have it take some time.. Have you gone just for a checkup to your doctor to have all of your hormone levels checked?? I actually went before starting TTC... it's a good thing to do to see if there are any red flags. It's pretty easy~ just getting blood drawn- I had it done on cd3 and cd21.. you might want to check with your Ob/gyn to see if they can do that for sure- if for nothing else but peace of mind!

I hope this next month works for you my dear!

hi sorry for ur loss.ive had third m/c in january and started trying again 2mths ago as the doctors have started to do tests to c whats wrong. results be bak in couple of weeks. its so frustrating i know how u feel. the first time we got pregnant it took 8mths.second time two mths and third time 14 mths.the first and third time i had d&c.i think it takes a while for your body to get back to normal after a d&c.plus i get cramping a week before period too and you know before ur period even comes that ur not pregnant. its horrible. although sometimes u can still get period symptoms and still be pregnant.but try stay hopeful it'l happen.youve gotten pregnant before so u know u can hun.

Thank you for your responses. Maybe I'll make a doctor's appointment just to have my hormones checked. I'm also going to give up caffeine this month...not sure if it will help or not but worth a try.

Hi hun, it took me ten cycles to fall preg again after a mc. Unfortunately, I lost that one too. .
Hopefully this time it wont take so long.
Good luck!

I had a late miscarriage on Christmas Day (23 weeks) and my periods are still not back to normal so no luck for us yet. xx

Depressing isn't it? You spend your younger years on birth control trying so hard not to get pregnant and then when you go off the pill and want to get pregnant it doesn't happen. I feel like I'm letting my husband down too. I feel like it's my fault that he isn't a father yet. Someday it will happen for all of us....I guess it's just a matter of being patient. I've got a doctor's appointment scheduled for May 10th to make sure my body is back to "normal" since the d and c.

I fell pregnant the first month from stopping birth control and had my dd. Again came off birth control and one cycle later pregnant again only to have a mmc. Been trying since and nothing. I get positive opks ovulation pain the lot and well times bding but bfn. I am due for my smear test and so am going to ask some advice when I go for that. I have a friend who is Chinese and she said in the far east when you have miscarried they say it affects your body like a thousand live births. I think this could be very true. x x x

 

[AprilShowers1]

Wow! Well hopefully it's our bodies just taking time to recover and not something permanently wrong. I had a d&C and have read horror stories about scarring and making it harder to conceive. I need to stop reading so much about it because it makes me worry more. I'm also do for a annual check up so I'm going to see what my doctor thinks. Hopefully we all get a bfp soon!

I got pregnant in the very begining of ttc, and miscarried, didn't need a D&C all went away naturally. But I have now been ttc for 14 months since then with no luck But just found out I suffer from weak ovulation, my progestrone was only a 6.5 after ovulation. But I get regular periods.

Hi, Exactly the same thing is happening to me! SO FRUSTRATING!

Mc last oct , naturally, didnt nbeed D&C and ever since been ttc. I got preg 2nd month ttc after coming off the pill for 7yrs. So v.quickly but mc in oct.

Everymonth I get positive opks, bbt and take my vitamins and nothing and dont understand why. Me and hubby dont drink or smoke, We have sex week before ovulation and when I get opk we do it twice a day. Im stayin calm etc. hubby gets on top all the time. Dr sent me for tests and they came bk all ok. Progesterone cd21 test was 44 so dr said he was happy with that. Went along for a ultrasound to rule out PCOS and the lady said that i had a nice thick lining. I had 6 small cycts on my dominant ovary but she said they were not big enuf or loads of them to worry about. Hubby has had sperm test fri so waiting for results.

I thought I was more fertile after mc?my due date was Friday just gone, which was my birthday too. It was soooo hard, thought id be preg by now. .

Since my miscarriage, i get spotting sometimes up to 6 days before period due, it will come and go, so ive started taking B6 along with vitamins but it makes me ovulate later and makes my period come later which is obviosuly what it is supposed to be doing. I think i have a leutal phase defect but the dr dont seem to think so but how can it be normal to spot 6 days before period, that means lining already coming away! Dr has now said that because i have had all ok results back that they wont do any more investiagtions till another 6 months but i dont want to wait that long. considering going private and seeing a gyno if this carries on. oh well, wait till Tuesday to get results back for hubbys sperm test.

Jennifer, what is the doc doing about your weak ovulation? I'm wondering if that is my issue as well.
I also got pregnant two months after going off the pill. I'm wondering if getting pregnant too soon after the pill can cause mc. I know a lot of people who have had a mc when they got pregnant soon after the pill.

She is going to be putting me on clomid for 6 months starting in june. Right now we are also doing hubbys sperm test, and I'll be having a HSG done to make sure tubes are not blocked next month right before I start the treatment. I don't think the pill has anything to do with miscarriages, almost all of my friends wasnt on the pill and lost their baby. Within the first trimester, chances of miscarriages are really high, and it just sucks.

well im right there w/ you all...... I m/c in Sept last year of only trying for 2 months and mc after my first ultrasound at 8weeks I miscarried almost a week after seeing its little heartbeat!!! I as well had a DnC and I have been trying since and nothing yet... I too do temps and opk's every month and I ovulate and temp rises and then nothing!! I started spotting 2 days before af arrives since m/c too. I called a fert. spec. and im going for consultation next week so fingers crossed they will do some testing on me and my dh... as my dh already has a child but you never know! Good luck to all you ladies. I feel for all of you and today im on cycle day 27 and 12dpo and got a bfn of course feel af is coming! hope we all can stay strong together. Praying for lots of baby dust for all of us!

Sorry to hear that CRC. I've been looking into symptoms of low progesterone and I have self diagnosed myself with that for now but I'm going to talk to the doc next week and hopefully have tests done. Low progesterone can cause miscarriage so I'm wondering if that was the cause. Maybe it's clomid time

I feel the same hun, me and Oh conceived last Sep-Oct 2010, after just 2 months of not trying and not preventing, sadly I miscarried in December. Now me and Oh are trying and I mean REALLY trying and this is the 3rd month and still nothing, so depressing.
