Thank you soon much ladies!!! It took me a while to actually come on here again. My obgyn at our two week post appt gave us the OK to start trying again. I miss feeling my son move around and i feel the same way if its meant to happen it will happen. Praying for us to all have our bfp's very soon!!! I'm so sorry so many of us have to suffer. But I'm glad to know that there is a beautiful baby boy in heaven for me to met one day in heaven and i really hope god sat him on his lap and told him all about his parents since I didn't get the chance to teach him about God.

Sorry that's just me trying to accept it and move forward. Everyone of us deserve our precious child to love and watch grow. I hope every one of you ladies have that soon.

The go ahead on ttc is wonderful! I hope you get your bfp soon! Keep us updated

Thank you soo much!! I'm worried its too soon but the doctor said there is no evidence in waiting. She said that as long as your healed properly and emotionally ready then its OK to try. She also told me your body can be more fertile after a d&c. Not sure how true it is. I will definately keep everyone posted!!! Hope everyone does the same!

for everyone trying. And for everyone healing. I hope you find the comfort you need.

Hi Ladies! I was hoping I could join you as I just had my d&c yesterday due to MMC. I found out when I was 11w3d but baby was only measuring 9 weeks. The worst part of this entire situation is having to tell my 6 year old DD. OH and I are really hoping to start TTC right away. My dr said to wait for 1 normal cycle and then I have the okay to start trying again. So far the bleeding has been very light (*knock on wood*) so I'm hoping everything will go smoothly and I will fall pg very soon! Good luck to all you lovely ladies! Here's hoping we all have our baby bumps very soon!

I am very sorry for your loss. I wish you fast recovery and the comfort you and your family needs to get through this. Please keep us posted. Feel free to pm me if you ever feel like talking! I know I could definately use some online friends to talk with that understand what we are going through. I hope your daughter if you told her.

 

[second try]

New to forum!! I had a m/c at 13 weeks during the week of 5/9 on 5/11 I had d & c. I had to have a second procedure on 5/15 due to a build up of blood in my uterus. My next check up is 6/8. I can't wait to ttc again that would have been my first child.

Thank you so, so, SO much! I really appreciate all the kind words from you ladies. I'm nearly in tears from the support and love I already feel from you guys after posting just one time in this thread. I'm so glad I have found a group of girls that are so supportive and strong. Here's to all of us getting our BFPs very, VERY soon!!

And how exciting that you have been given the all clear to start ttc! I have heard women can be more fertile after d&c because they have almost fresh lining in their uterus. I hope that is the case!

I hope so also. It will be exciting yet scary. I know once I get my bfp I will want a ultrasound right away to check for yolk and sac. Then I know I won't relax til 12wk fetal echocardiogram, and 16wk anatomy ultrasound. Losing my first is the worst but I was so glad to hear my sons defects had nothing to do with chromosomes. Once I have my one healthy baby I'll be so happy and feel blessed. I hope we all get that this time. My ob said to wait two cycles also but at my two week follow up she told me they only say that to give us time to grieve and so they can have a lmp date to figure out due date. I asked her about uterus lining needing time to heal and reline she said there was no proof to that and ppl are constantly going off having healthy pregnancies straight after a d&c. It was reassuring to me hearing that from someone in the profession that deals with this on a daily bases.

i think i might ring my own gps office in the morning and ask, its been 2 weeks and bleeding has stopped i would love to try now. thanks for your advice. i saw in another girls post that her doc told her that they say to wait one cycle in case the d and c didnt clear everything out properly which would cause trouble. i live in ireland and we dont get follow up check up r scan after d and c. to make sure alls ok. i dont know why, i think its a bit crazy to just send us off with no check up
thanks x

 

[jen435]

Oh wow! Please call to check before trying. That surprises me there is no follow up. Perhaps you could request at least a scan? Fingers crossed for you for positive news when you call. Its sad when your ready to try again and you can't just yet.

Can't wait to find out what they say!! Let us know!

 

[ThinkPositiv]

jen435 - thats great that your doctor gave you the go ahead to ttc again! yipppppeeee! i also loved that you posted what your doc said...makes me a little more comforatble in my 2ww considering i didnt wait the once cycle the doc said before trying again!

i did have a follow up scan after my D&C....no follow up doctors appointment either. i did have a follow up scan after my natural MC though.... hmm.

hey whoops i didnt ring , i have a funny ache in my tummy think i may need to bleed more after the d and c , sorry for tmi so im afraid to try again too soon. i think it was my wishfull thinking that i should ignore the other doc
dont think i be able to convince my other half anyway, we have been told to wait and he doesnt have a problem waiting, think he be afraid something happen to me too
also i think i may have ovulated already this month just from how i felt at the time, not entirely sure but some people say it isnt unusual to O at around 10 days past d and c when is the time i thought i did. im 14 days past now. hve started opk but only started day 12 and had dark ish line but not dark enough to be positve and the line has gotten fainter the last 2 days. so think i may hve missed this mnoth anyway.
only way they would scan me is if i went to a private clinic and got scanned and i have a feeling they would tell me i need to wait anyway
or i could pretend to be in more way pain than i am and go to emergency but no guarantee they scan there either
think il work on my patience instead

id say they tell us to wait here in ireland because they dont scan us, presumaby first aunt flow cleans out anything that may be left.
thanks for ur suport x

 

[jen435]

Thinkpositiv- thank you!!! It seems as every individual has a different case so I think its great to share info but all in all its important for your doctor to have the final say. That way you can feel most comfortable with your final choice.

Lilysmom- I completely understand what your saying. I think its important for both of you to feel comfortable with your choice and to be sure to have your doctors okay or wait for your cycles to start as your doing. I'm excited for you either way as long as your healthy!

I decided that we aren't using protection but I'm not using anything more then my prenatal vits and preseed. After two cycles if I'm not pregnant then I'll use opks a calander and start monitoring when we dtd. I have a feeling I missed ovulation this cycle due to my two wk post op visit where i was given my ok and I'm completely okay with that. But if it happens I'll be excited yet scared.... as for now I can finally be excited for others when they heal, start to try, and when they get there first + opk and pregnancy tests.

Hi! Can I join?
I'm Bethany. I got married in February and started trying after that- my period never came. It was that quick.
But at my 10w appt...baby was measuring 6w. They put me on pelvic rest and took my blood to see if my pregnancy was "viable". It wasn't.
I started bleeding on May 9 and had D&C on May 10. Another 2 weeks of pelvic rest.
My OB told me to wait 3 cycles for a good lining but...I won't.
I think I just got my period but it is so pathetically light that I don't know anymore. Hope to get pregnant again soon.
Would have been my first baby.

Good luck to everyone

 

[ThinkPositiv]

Storked - welcome. so sorry for your los. I too had dreams of a honeymoon baby...we got married in september after being together for 8 years....it is now june, have only had 2 periods, and have been pregnant twice (so 4 cycles since september). it gets me down from time to time....i mean, lots of people knew we wanted kids straight away.....and sometimes i get the feeling when people ask how i am doing, they are looking for a hint more of information. hang in there.

jen435 - yes, i agree we should listen to our own doctors, but i think educated decisions are important too - gather the information you need, and be comfortable with the decision you make.

lilesmom - i wouldnt worry too much about not having a scan...most the time the body is able to complete the MC. i started OPK's 2 weeks after D&C.... for a few weeks the test line was dark but not as dark as control...it was driving me mad! went on vacation, didnt test for over a week....once day tested, with a hunch i might O soon...and bam! i guess i O'd super late....day 38! CRAZY!

 

[Storked]

ThinkPositiv, we have a lot in common. Our whole family and all of our friends knew we wanted children very much and they constantly nose. The worst is that the only person that has been through a MMC is my sister- who is currently pregnant. Which is awesome and gives me hope but it is just hard to talk to pregnant ladies right now. I am sorry for your losses and hope the next is sticky

 

[ThinkPositiv]

storked - people havent been that nosy....but i sense they are watching me! at christmas dinner my husbands cousin was staring at me, wondering if i was going to drink or not! i had to have her mother explain that i had already had 2 glasses of wine earlier! anyways....and there was one follow up email when i was pregnant (ended in MC) - where someone wrote to say they noticed i didnt have any alochol at dinner...and wondering if there was a congrats in order!?!?! are you freaking kidding me? that really P***sed me off! then my brother said to my face he was wondering if i had news of a pregnancy because i kept wanting to meet up with him!!!

 

[Storked]

Ugh that would upset me. TTC is rough enough without people constantly wondering aloud if you are pregnant yet!
