Hi ladies can I join? I am just finishing up (I hope) my miscarriage. I went for US on Dec 24th and was supposed to be 12 weeks 3 days. Was only 8 weeks 4 days. Have been bleeding since. But midwife thinks I should be done soon. Anyhow. I'm not going back on birth control and we still want another baby so I guess I'm TTC. Kinda hard to avoid since I won't know when I'm ovulating right? I assume it won't be a normal cycle? This is my first time and I have no idea what to expect! Fertility friend says I'll ovulate next week, but I'm not sure if that's correct and if we should just avoid sex for those days? (to have 1 cycle before ttc again) or if it's worth it since I've been informed ovulation can be hard to predict after miscarrying? Plus I'm still a bit crampy. So yea. Confused, but here. Hoping for a rainbow baby in the next few months.

Ajarvis, so sorry for your late misscarriage. I hope the pain hasn't been too excruciating.

For me I always ovulate about a week later than usual on my misscarriage cycles. My body tries to ovulate at the normal time but just can't quite do it. So a week later it tries again and it normally succeeds that time.

As far as avoiding sex, doctors pretty much all suggest different things. I think it also partially depends on how far along you were. Check with your doctor to see if you can try right away again or if you need to wait a month or more.

I was on the July thread with you I talked with you about fitness while pregnant... this is my first miscarriage and I don't know how the next cycle will go either? It's the worst experi ence of my life and the most painful. I was only 8 weeks not ten but I had major contractions and was in labor from 2am to 8pm. I was mortified with everything.... I thought I would just bleed I had no idea...

 

[ajarvis]

Thanks Ladies!

Kimbre I'm sorry you've had such a rough time. I've had mild "contraction" like feelings today actually. Of course at work. Feels like I'm all of a sudden bleeding alot more. Lots of cramping too. So not sure. Oy. Will call my midwife in a bit. I'm actually debating going for a run. It's my sanity activity and I haven't' gone since the miscarriage. Now that I planned on it I'm afraid it will be a bad idea due to the cramping etc. today.

 

[Chrissi1981]

Miscarriage is hard and it's different for everybody. My 1st was not as painful as the second one. I don't know whether it was because there were twins no idea but both lasted a little over 2 hours. Both times after the miscarriages I took agnus cactus. First time self prescribed 2nd time around by my naturopath. My first cycle with the 1st miscarriage was 4 weeks after. Conceived on that cycle. Lost twins 2 months later. My 1st cycle was 32 days after last miscarriage. 2nd cycle 29 days later. I'm now on 2nd cycle. I won't try and conceive this
Month mainly as I've spent a lot on tests and waiting to get results back but also as I'm on herbs to and I was told to wait 3 months by my naturopath and also because I'm scared of hyper ovulating again. I've always had regular cycles lasting 27-28 days and haven't been on birth control for years as it didn't agree with me. So it just depends. If you are concerned about your cycles and their length go see a naturopath they can prescribe something that will help your body and not make things worse.

Good luck beautiful mamas xxx

Oh honey it's awful isnt it. We had a vanishing twin too but unfortunately baby b never made it either. It's so frustrating. I'm so healthy it just doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry you have to go through this again. Did you do any tests before ?? Xxx

 

[CelticNiamh]

Chrissi1981 no never did any testing but I am lucky as well I have had more successful pregnancies just unlilucky this time I am heart broken and hoping my body catches on quickly and I am lucky like before and get a rainbow baby

Hi! Waiting for post dnc af to show up next week then i can start ttc my rainbow! Hoping 2015 is a good year!

Hi Heather. Welcome and I agree I hope 2015 is better for all of us! Welcome and good luck .

hello everyone. could i join? i finally got my BFP in november after years of ttc only to miscarry a couple days ago. i was 8 weeks not 10. i went through a natural miss and had the d&c after. it was unbearable. its the worst thing ive ever had to endure. im not sure what to do. any support would be great.

Wow I'm so sorry you had to go through a natural miscarriage at that gestation and then a d&c as well. I had one where the baby measured 9 weeks and it was horrific. If I had to have a d&c after that I would have lost it.

I hope this time around you will conceive more quickly and it will be a lovely stick rainbow . Welcome.

Ovulation definitely hard to predict after miscarriage. I've had 4 miscarriages and mine has always been delayed but not by much. A few days at most. But it varies. I hope you don't have to wait long! I would just DTD every other day when you stop bleeding and hope you catch that egg!

confuzion thank you for the warm welcome

So many newbies. Welcome ladies, and sorry for all of your losses. This is a lovely group. I hope that before long we will all be growing our rainbows.

I've got over last cycle now - my expectations were far too high.mready for the next. Seeing the Dr on Wednesday and hopeful for a referral to fertility specialist so that we can actually get some help

 

[wantingagirl]

I'm wondering if I can join too. I should be 8+3 and at last scan was measuring over a week behind been spotting since last Tuesday was mostly brown but sometimes pink and in my heart of hearts I think it's the end. I will know by my beta results tomorrow this will be my third miscarriage I wish I seen this thread before instead of going through them myself. I'm so sorry for everyone's losses xx

Hi Laura I follow your journal, I do not comment much though I was so hoping for you as well FX the fertility specialist listens and helps quickly

Hey wantingagirl FX it is not the end

 

[Bug222]

Welcome to all the new ladies. I'm very sorry for your losses and the pain you have had to endure xxx

 

[mommyof2peas]

Welcome to all the new ladies. Will be nice to get this thread moving again.

Im CD 10 and finished my Clomid a couple days ago. They messed up the dose though. It should have been 100 for 5 days. Since I get 50mg pills I should have gotten 10 pills but they only gave me 8. The way they read it of the doc wrote it was messed up.

Take two tablets by mouth once daily for 4 days on days 5-9 of cycle.

So yeah that is a bit confusing. I didnt notice until much later since I filled it early and had it waiting for my cycle. So I took 100mg the first three days then 50mg the next two so I had it for 5 days. Sure hope it works. Trying to get back into the charting thing. I'm excited but scared to death that if I get pregnant I'll just lose the baby again. I am in a much better place this time though I think. Im not nearly as obsessed with getting pregnant like I was this time last year. If I get pregnant this cycle I'll be due in October...not a good month since last october was a Due date for angel baby faye and also found out I lost angel baby Henry. It was a hard month.

 

[laurac1988]

An October due date would be so bittersweet. Wishing everyone luck for this cycle

 

[wantingagirl]

Thanks everyone I'll let you know tomorrow how my betas go. Then I will know for sure. Good luck to everyone xxx

 

[Squig34]

Welcome to all the new ladies, & sorry for your losses.

Re cycles after mc, mine usually just a few days longer than usual. Some docs like you to wait a cycle, some say you can try straight away. The advice used to be to wait 6 months but now there's evidence that some women are more fertile in the months after a mc. Personally I've only caught once straight after mc, but other ladies have had different experiences.

Good luck to all!

 

[wantingagirl]

I took 8 months after my loss to fall pregnant again xx
