Difficulty Conceiving after MC

[CRC25]

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.

Im right there w/ ya! me and dh are really trying too! I dont know what else to do??? Im even doing acupuncture and my step daughter keeps telling me she wants me to have a baby and everyone keeps asking like we arent trying! im getting so discouraged! We all have to stick together thru this journey!

We are REALLY trying too. I'm even giving up caffeine. I haven't started temping yet though. I'm afraid doing something daily like that might put even more pressure on the hubby. I've done opks and I seem to ovulate right around day 14. But they say that is just the hormone surge but doesn't prove that an egg has actually been released. I think I got pregnant right after the pill b/c my hormones were very normal thanks to the bc. Now that I've been off of it for 10 months my hormones have probably all gone crazy.

I agree! I thought (this is going to sound stupid) after having a miscarriage it would be easier to conceive anyway as it kind of "opened" things up :S.... Hopefully we will both get our baby bumps soon that we so desperately want!!!

Trust me I too gave up caffeine... no more sweet teas or cokes for me... havent had pop or anything in almost 2 months!! I only drink water and an occassional gatorade.... what we do to be Mommys!! and i do the opks and the tempting and everything happens right around day 14 and day 15 as usaul but like you said we really dont what happens in there.... Im real nervous im going to the fert. specialist tom morning to try and get a game plan maybe with some testing and then acupuncture on thursday!! ive been doing acupuncture since jan and it has helped me regulate my cycles thank goodness. he says my pulses are ready and strong and I could conceive at anytime!! I sure hope hes right.lol. and I havent been on bc for awhile but I understand where you are coming from. and thats why im going to doc tom to have hormones tested and my sex drive hasnt been right since the m/c in sept either.... its like I dont even think about it like I use too.... I hate it!

Yeah you always hear HOW FERTILE you are after a m/c im like right!! Here I am almost 8 months later and nothing but almost 8 af's.... and I understand what you mean b/c its like you have been cleaned out and your all ready to go and then nothing... it only makes it harder! and I too hope that we get our bumps very very soon!!!

Well went to Fert. specialist today! Started af last night at 11 pm before bed... which is okay in this case... they did an ultrasound today and ovaries were perfect and uterus too!! she said a lil thin b/c af has started which is completly normal.... so now she asked if i wanted to start the clomid challenge and after dh and I talked we agreed to start clomid.... so I start taking them on cd5 and next week have an ultrasound on friday the 13th and a semen analysis for the dh on friday as well... we are super excited to get this ball rolling... as dh has a little girl who will be 3 in october.... So we are all ready for this to happen!!! so now I wait.... I will also be given a shot to make me ovulate too.. .so they pretty much are controlling everything this month besides the bding!!! which they will tell us when to bd! lol.... so now we just wait for the blood results of mine and then next the semen results after next friday!!!! so the fert. specialist said since im young (25) and that my ovaries had dark spots on them showing that I did indeed have eggs!! so that was a good thing too! lol... so now we wait! hows everyone else doing??? lots and lots of baby dust to everyone!

Well at least they were willing to help you out. Hopefully the clomid works. Let us know what happens with the blood results. I'm interested to see what my doctor is going to say next week. I'll let you know.

yes I will def. let you know what the results come back. so where are you at in your cycle?? and def have to let me know what your doc. has to say! praying for you!

 

[AprilShowers1]

Thanks! I'm praying for you as well. I'm on day 9 so it's the bding time of the month. We'll see how every other day goes. This is my optimistic time of the month so hopefully I won't be let down by another bfn. What day are you on?

I would rather wait for the big O then the dreaded 2ww. lol.... Thats awesome cd9 already! I am only cd3 today... I start clomid on cd5-9 and then go in next friday the 13th to check on my follicles w/ an ultra sound and for my dh semen analysis... and then they are going to give me a trigger shot to make me O too! lol... so def. wont miss it! lol. at least I hope we dont.... Do you get acupuncture? I started it in Jan. and it has regulated my cyles and I went today and he said that my pulses are strong and ready and he seems to think that it might be my dh b/c he doesnt know why it hasnt happened yet... so guess thats a good thing... im kinda nervous to start taking the clomid :/ Good luck w/ the bding! do you test w/ opks?

Wow, it sounds like you are going to be preggo before you know it. I consistently have a 28 day cycle. I always know what day I'll actually start getting the bad cramps. 4 or 5 days before that I have light spotting. This is why I think something might be going on. I've also put on about 7 or 8 pounds and they won't go away. I'm wondering if there is a hormone or thyroid issue going on. Or I could just be paranoid but I'd rather get it checked out. I wouldn't mind going on clomid. Technicallly we have been trying for a year but we did get pregnant after 2 months of trying but resulted in mc. We didn't start trying again until December so the doc will probably consider it 6 months of trying. Wish my appt. would just get here already!

Wow we are soo much alike... it took me and dh only taking 2 months to conceive... but sadly miscarrying. and we didnt start trying til Jan after the acupuncture... Dh and I are so ready to be parents! Im just scared b/c my cycles are so regular and im scared that the clomid will mess it up! insurance wont pay for anything w/ infertility. so cant afford to do clomid for too many months so not sure what to do! what do you think? would you try the clomid if you had it this month??

 

[AprilShowers1]

I would definitely try the clomid this month! If you aren't going to use it just send it my way. just kidding. How expensive is the clomid? I just realized you are from Ohio. I'm from Cincinnati. I'm in North Carolina now though.

The clomid is $21.00 at cvs I read that you can get it at Kroger for $10.00-20.00.... Its not the meds that we cant afford its all the testing and bloodwork we cant afford to do every week we have already put out $1000 and we havent even had the last 2 ultrasounds or the semen analysis or the other bloodwork that I have to have... Praying that I just get blessed this month! Yes I live in Ohio how cool. did you move to North Carolina?? I live in between dayton and columbus.

 

[AprilShowers1]

Yeah, it's crazy that insurance doesn't cover more! Hopefully we don't have to go through all that but I have a bad feeling that we will.
I moved to NC b/c I needed a teaching job. My family is still back in Ohio. I'll let you know how Tuesday goes.

That is great news! I am so happy for you!! I wish you lots of luck w/ it next cycle... Im not having any side effects yet..Lol. I do bloodwork again on thurs. and u/s on fri to look at follicles and my dh SA. keep in touch. what cycle day are you?

 

[AprilShowers1]

I was wondering if you were having any side effects. I'm glad it is going well so far. I'm on day cd 15. I'll have to make three visits to the doc for blood work starting on cd 3. I'm hoping I get pregnant this month and then don't have to worry about the clomid but we'll see. Maybe the 6th month is a charm! She didn't mention anything to me about doing an ultrasound...just bloodwork. Hmmm. She thinks I'm ovulating though...she's just trying to help us out a bit.

Nope not noticing anything different had some aching/ pulling two nights ago. but only last few mins.... other than that... pretty smooth sailing. havent noticed dry cm yet as everyone says clomid causes you to have decreased cm.... so suppose to start taking mucinex tom to help with that. I did bloodwork on cd03 and im doing bloodwork tom on cd10 and going for my us on friday and will discuss what day to give myself the trigger shot... and then bloodwork on cd20 again.... and I pray that it happens for you this month too and you dont have to mess w/ the meds! you better get bding! Have you ever heard of IUI? was really thinking about having one... but not sure how long results will take for the SA for my dh to determine if an IUI would be a good thing to try!
