New here looking for some buddies ttc #4

[Mommatoboys]

Thank you and don't worry I'm sure you will be using those maternity clothes very soon! I had spotting with all my pregnancies only it was more of a flow or gush with the miscarriages. I think it's so great that there's a place like this where we can share and get support. I didn't have that with my first two miscarriages and it made all the difference the third time. The pain does get better with time but I think of the babies I've lost often and they will always be in my heart. I actually went and got a memorial tattoo of the pregnancy and infant loss ribbon with words that read "too beautiful for earth" just something I wanted to do to honor my babies and bring awareness to the matter. I feel like so many woman have to suffer alone because the subject makes people uncomfortable and it shouldn't be that way. Good luck this cycle! Praying for you! Oh and if you don't mind sharing what part of ohio are you in? I'm in wilmington.

Mommatoboys ~ This is the first time I experienced pain like this. I never expected a mc...sadly, my DH and I just always took for granted that we could get and stay pregnant. How arrogant and naive we were. This just devastated us. But it also helped us feel even more blessed than we already do for the babies we have. Gave us a new perspective on life. I have a tattoo drawn up for my babies (and it includes ways to easily add more babies to it). So I recently added a place in the drawing to include our angel. I just have to get it done now. But waiting to see how ttc turns out first. Not sure about getting a tattoo while pregnant? I have 3, but all were while not pregnant or ttc. My husband actually bought me a bracelet that is stamped. It is similar to the alex and ani bracelets...it has one disc stamped with Angel Baby on it and another disc that has two tiny footprints and the date 06-30-14 stamped on it. Then it has a tiny angel wing charm and three birthstone crystals to represent three things: April-conception, June-loss, January-birth. It is so pretty. And it keeps my angel close. I never realized how common mc is...it is so sad to think that so many go thru this...But having a place like this to come to is a blessing. It helps having some place to go where I can get support.

Miscarriage does make all that more thankfully for the children you already have. I know having my kids during the last miscarriage helped so much because I tried to shift as much focus on them instead of what was happening and I didn't have any kids with first two miscarriages. Although it was at night alone when I would completely break down and cry myself to sleep. I know my artist won't do tattooes during pregnancy because of the risk of infection and sometimes the hormonal changes in a body during pregnancy can make the tattoo not take as well. Next summer I plan on getting a tattoo with all my kids names. I'm so excited to have it done. Your bracelet sounds amazing and so sweet! You're right miscarriage is extremely common. Almost every woman has a good chance of having sometime in her life. It doesn't make it any less painful though and a lot of people don't realize that and can be very cruel. My cousins wife suffered a miscarriage shortly after I did and get female boss was so cruel about her taking a couple days off. She even said " I don't know why you're so upset, it was just a blob." I think I would have punched her right in the face if it was me. Wishing you the best of luck and hoping you get your rainbow baby soon!

Hi beautiful mamas! :wave:

I am looking for a TTC #4 buddy

DH and I have 3 together Girl, Boy, Girl. 7,5,3. And we're praying for another baby boy for my son. We've been TTC for 1 yr on and off. So far we've seen a fertility specialist but haven't gone back for testing, we got his opinion and he thinks my problem may be anovulation and DH problem may be related to testosterone supplements he was taking thinking it would make him "bigger" dr says it is fixable as long as he stops taking them, which he has.

I'm not too comfortable taking hard meds just yet so we've looked into Fertilityblend for men and women and plan to start taking those along with following the 'fertility diet' to see what happens.

Some of your stories are amazing

Hi Mommy_DK! Welcome.

After our loss in June, we are going to ttc in October again. Unless we are blessed sooner (ntnp really right now).

Momma ~ I am going to wait on my tat for a little while. I don't want to risk anything right now. But my bracelet is beautiful! Thank you for your words. Amazing how much it means to have support from those who have been where we have been and thru this.

 

[Mommy_DK]

Mommyto- I am so sorry for your loss, anyone who goes through that in my eyes is so super strong!

We've not had any mc losses but, when I was 20 I had an early sono and pregnancy test done by a non profit clinic at aprox. 5 weeks pregnant and was told I would need to get the fetus removed from my body because there was no heart beat and I would catch an infection and it could become fatal, being young and not knowing I panicked , didn't bother going to my dr. And made an appointment to get the fetus removed

Later my OH and I found out that there usually is NO heart beat that early on (5weeks) the heart beat usually isn't heard or seen until about 10-12 weeks . So that 'fetus' is our angel in heaven. And we are praying we will be blessed with more children soon!

Welcome mommy_DK! I am trying to conceive #4 now too. I have boy 6, boy 5, and girl 2. We have been trying for a year as well. Just had a loss in June and not going to try again (although I am mentally trying to prepare for alittle wait as my body gets back to normal). Where are you at in your cycle?

I never used it but I did use softcups. I had been trying for months to get pregnant by charting bbt and using opk's but it just wasn't happening so I tried softcups and got pregnant the first cycle with the twins I lost.

 

[Mommy_DK]

So sorry for your loss momatoboys! I have never heard of softcups, I'll look it up. My dr is suggesting clomid , I'm going in for first FSH test tomorrow, scary but exciting too! Hoping he prescribes something right away! I'll mention softcups tomorrow

Thanks for sharing

Thank you and good luck tomorrow! Softcups are actually used as a replacement for pads and tampons during af. So when you use one after bd'ing it keeps the sperm against the cervix. I would put one in while still in bed and leave it in for at least 8hrs.

OH oh oh! Yes , my cousin use to use them during AF a few yrs back. Wow, Ida never thought of using those but what a great idea! I will be picking some up later this week thanks again for sharing that little tip with me

 

[Mommy_DK]

Momatoboys- I forgot to congratulate you on your pregnancy!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! lol I am so happy for you! Now pass some of that baby dust my way!!

 

[Mommatoboys]

Your so welcome! I really hope they help!

 

[Mommatoboys]

Thank you so much! I'm so excited but also nervous haha. My boys were not the easiest babies or toddlers because of severe feeding issues. I'm going to try breastfeeding again and I can only pray I'm successful at it this time and this boy has a good appetite. Sending lots of your way!

 

[Mommy_DK]

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope this little bundle works with you, breastfeeding is so amazing . I wish I had done it longer than 3 weeks. I couldn't bare the swelling at that time but looking back now it would have been worth the pain. I wish I could do it all over again

Thanks for the baby dust Hun!

 

[MomOf3Girls]

Welcome, Mommy DK! Nice to have you. Good luck with all your fertility testing. We have also been trying a year. If I'm not pg this month, we will be moving onto our first IUI cycle in a few days.

How is twinmommy? Has she had her baby yet?
