Not Waiting After Miscarriage - Any One Else?

[Midnight_Fairy]

I got pregnant straight after. Wasnt planned xx

 

[StillPraying]

Midnight fairy you never got af?

Sarah all of my test results and the placenta testing all came back normal, which means it was probably chromosomal. I chose not to have an autopsy done on him.

I definitely don't think I could do triplets. Lol

It'll probably get put on our porch so I keep peeking out the window lol

 

[sarah2211]

I understand why you didn't want to do an autopsy. Regardless it's still difficult but you're hopefully not dealing with something that's going to result in another MC. All signs point to another healthy pregnancy not far awayfor you.

Haha no I'd go crazy with triplet Les. I said to DH last night that there's a 1% chance on triplets on Clomid and got so excited and said that would be the best! I reminded him it wouldn't be him carrying triplets plus he's in the army so he'd probably go and get himself deployed...!

Haha DH will probably get to the letterbox before me but I'm not too fussed. He knows I'll do what I like to track my cycles haha.

 

[StillPraying]

My husband and I are both in the military, there's no way I could handle being prego with triplets while being in. No thanks. That's hilarious that he thought it'd be best. My DH said with our luck well have twin girls and he said he'd just leave and the judge would be on his side hahahahaha have

I keep having awful cramps and passing small dark stringy clots. It's awful.

 

[Dannypop]

I would simply go nuts if I am pregnant with twins even though I know it is a blessing. Still -I love one at a time thanks!! I have 2 boys so we all know that it will be twin boys!

Stillpraying sorry again for what you went through. But as Sarah says it sounds like a healthy pregnancy is around the corner for you. Once all the horrid clotty bleeding is over and your body is completely back at square 1 you will be super extra ready to go go go.

AF is 1 day late for me (I am never late but my first cycle after the MC was 5 weeks. My doc confirmed I ovulated on CD14 this cycle and that was 16 days ago) so I will go buy a test today and test tomorrow only because I want to use FMU. I feel pregnant!!!!

 

[sarah2211]

Stillpraying, you'll know all about the difficulties when deployment arises! DH has just started at a new unit and apparently it's the busiest unit in the army (just my luck). He's got lots of courses to do this year and next, so hopeful he won't be away too much. He's actually away today and my OPKs came in the mail!

Haha that would be just your luck!

I hope that passes for you quickly

Danny, I hope so. Do you know if there's any way to check (like with blood tests) to check whether it's going to be a sticky BFP? Like should I ask for an HCG and repeat 48 hours later? How exciting, FX your sticky BFP is here!

 

[maryp0ppins]

Fingers crossed for you dannypop!
Either my AF is on her way or I am pregnant,boobs are so sore if I put any pressure on them.
I should be able to test next Monday if she doesn't show.
They feel exactly like they did the week before I got my BFP last time.

 

[Dannypop]

Wow all you amazing army wives. Strong ladies indeed!!!

Sarah yes definitely the best thing to do to check that it is a sticky bean is to go for bloods. My Gynae sent me every few days for a week or so with DS1 as I was on Clomid and Trigger shot with him. The bloods will confirm that your HCG is rising at the rate it should and will check that your estrogen and progesterone levels are rising accordingly. So defo ask your doc to get your levels tested! As soon as I get my BFP (Hee Hee) the first thing I will do is call him to ask when I need to go for the bloods.

Marypoppins eeeeek too exciting when you just have that sense that you are preg judging by your body behaving the same way as in the past. That sounds so promising!

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks so much Danny. It's funny, the country I live in doesn't really support the army as much as in other countries. So no one recognises army wives. When my husband deployed someone said to me, "do we even have an army?"

I'll definitely be sure to go to the doctor and ask for those tests. How long did you/do you plan to get your HCG levels tested for and how frequently?

I'm just feeling really impatient today

 

[StillPraying]

Danny did you test??

Mary so excited for you having same symptoms! Can't wait for you to test.

Sarah what country are you from? I'm in the US and there's all kinds of stuff for military families if you're near a large base. And when are you gonna test? We need some lines on here!

AFM horrid pains yesterday and passed a quarter sized dark clot. Bleeding is still consistent though. *sigh* I'm on a mini vacation at the beach right now but so mad I'm still bleeding! If it's still consistent by Monday I'm going to call and ask my OB.

 

[sarah2211]

Danny please let us know when you test!

We live in New Zealand. There's virtually nothing for army families here. We do get cheap rent and 10% discount at a few places but nothing major. People actually seem to dislike the army here more than anything.

Well I'm still taking Provera and I should get AF on the 11th, if she decides to come the day after I stop. So I won't start OPKs until about the 20th September. I'm getting so impatient. It feels like everyone can get pregnant except me

 

[StillPraying]

Sarah I feel the same way. I've gotten to the point where I avoid pregnant women that I know and the baby section of stores. Even seeing pregnancy tests make me want to cry. I'm so impatient to ttc and I yet I'm still bleeding uuugghhhh we can pity party together.
I hope af shows up as she's supposed to so you can at least feel like you're moving forward!

That's strange they don't like the military there...if it makes you feel better the military wives here despise female service members so I get the hate a lot lol

 

[sarah2211]

It's so hard. I'm a teacher and we've got 5 pregnant mothers of children in my class. It's hard, I want to be happy for them, but it's not easy. A few weeks ago a mother picked up her daughter while she was having contractions. I'm not sure what it's like TTC 2+ but when you're childless it feels really really hard. I'm hoping it's just 4 more days until AF will be here and then I'll be able to start Clomid


It is strange, but recently there have been lots of negative stories in the media about drug using and other trouble making. Plus the government have decided to extend a deployment to Iraq, which lots of people in the public disagree with. So the army cop it. I bet, I use to work in a school in a military community and the army wives didn't like the wives who were in uniform.

I hope AF arrives soon for you!

 

[Dannypop]

Aw stillpraying sorry you are still having uncomfy bleeding and all the rest. Wishing you the speediest of recoveries.

Sarah huge hugs -it really is so soul-crushingly sad when you feel like your body is going against what you want it to do. I have such a strong belief that the little soul who is going to be in your life is right there waiting but they have to be born at the exact right time for their life. It is on their time. I know that doesn't help when you are in the thick of it but just know that it's all lining up as it should xxx

AFM I got my BFP yesterday! I am so excited but also just waiting for the blood tests to confirm that the levels are all rising. I think I will be sent every 2-3 days for about 10 days. And then at 7 week we get our first transvaginal scan

I am feeling much more tired than last time so hopefully this is a sticky one. And I will be checking in on you girls to see how things are going. All the baby dust in the universe sprinkling your way

 

[StillPraying]

Congrats Danny! Keeping everything crossed for you that it sticks. Keep us posted!

Sarah I'm not sure which is harder when ttc. I think either way just plain sucks. To me I feel like my body has just stopped being able to carry babies so it's like hit or miss is it gonna stick. I look at my girls and I'm like....what did I do wrong?
let's be positive. They've done studies showing that positivity actually helps! Just count down to AF now!

 

[Gypsy1106]

We did not wait after 7.5wks MC in mid August and am currently 3wks5days pregnant. We were not trying and not preventing. History of MCs with low progesterone and anovulatory cycles until months of Vitex and vitamins mixture. Old crappy OB prescribed me progesterone oral supplements and has not informed me how to take them and we fell pregnant by accident really this cycle. So the scrambling has begun to find an OB to get started on progesterone properly and hoping it isn't too late for this bean. Good luck to all!

 

[Dannypop]

Thanks Stillpraying -yup it feels so weird when you suddenly have troubles after having 2 other kids and now all this hassle ...

Gypsy welcome! Sounds like you did the right thing to just forge ahead. Congrats on your BFP! I was booked in for another follicle scan for the end of next week if I didn't get a BFP this cycle and I was dreading doing the whole debacle of timing and measuring and blood-testing and prodding again. And this is just at the beginning of a short ttc journey (6 cycles!) What so many other women have to go through breaks my heart.

 

[StillPraying]

Gypsy hope you can find an ob soon!

 

[Gypsy1106]

Oh dear what a mess. I called new OB- I made an appt with them during last MC- that's scheduled for sept 20th- so I called them today to see if I could get in sooner just to have levels taken etc. The doctor asked again for me to confirm my MC dates, and then was completely and utterly perplexed how I could've gotten pregnant again so quickly and insinuated that I may actually still be miscarrying from August- mind you, the miscarriage was medically confirmed over, and I followed my levels back down. I ovulated and wound up pregnant again, and apparently that happens alllll the time, how is that so perplexing to an OB!? So she suggested I wait. So now, I'm back at square one. I called my old crappy OB and he is faxing prescription for bloodwork so I can get it taken tonight- which I am grateful for but petrified to get stuck with him again. The other OBs in my area/network basically refuse to see anyone sooner than 8 weeks, and one other one who would see me sooner got god awful reviews by every woman who's ever gone there pretty much. Eye roll to the extreme.

Caved and took a walmart cheapie test just after 10pm, second line! Thankfully I had saved my wee in a pot and then tried a FRER and the second line appeared before the wee had finished going accross! I can NOT believe it.
