ttc after a d&c

[Impatientwait]

No definately not filling a pad......when I sit around I don't bleed much .when I pee and wipe more comes out. I've ben popping the vicodin and ibuprofen the dr gave me.. cause I'm hurting already this morning.. but my normal period cramps are really bad. I feel empty

Morning ladies!

Leslie, welcome and sorry that we had to meet like this It took me about 6 weeks for af to come then after that I was pretty regular but everyone is different. I too was told to wait one cycle and then ttc which we did and I got pregnant that cycle. Sadly, that ended up being a chemical and I lost the baby at about 5 weeks naturally. After lots of testing and waiting, I just found out that Im pregnant again. Dont lose hope!

Impatient, I was told the same thing. That if you bleed through a pad in an hour, then you need to call your dr or go to urgent care. My 2nd loss was natural and was quite painful as well. I too passed a ton of clots and at one point I passed something that (Tmi alert) was kind of solid and hard. I freaked out and thought it was my baby. I was told that sometimes we form calcium deposits or something and the blood gets hard and thats what I had passed. Dont be afraid to call your dr in the event you are not sure about something or something doesnt seem right. Im so sorry that you have to go through this. I hope that the bleeding subsides soon and you feel better.

Jen, how are you doing???

Angel, Jess, Bethany, :wave:

laura, hope youre enjoying time with your son!

AFM~ nothing new to report. Bbs arent so tender today which has me worried but I have read that symptoms can come and go. So aside from worrying and wishing it was 6/4 already... same ol same ol with me!

 

[Impatientwait]

Thanx ladies. I'm gonna lay here and watch my pretty littpe liars and try to get some rest. Yall are wonderful!

 

[mommylov]

Sounds like a plan! Hope you feel better!

Thank you mommylov I am so sorry for both your losses. Congrats on your current! how far along are you? Has anyone heard either way if there are statistics around being more fertile after d and c/ miscarriage and chances of miscarriage again?
What does AFM stand for?

 

[mommylov]

AFm = as for me

Thank you! Im about 5 weeks, close to 6. I dont know what the actual success rate is but I remember googling it after my D&C and saw a TON of success stories. Not to mention, everyone on here got pregnant and are doing well so that too was a huge motivator for me. After my D&C, I too felt like I just wanted to be pregnant right away again. One thing the girls here told me to do that I thought was excellent advice was to really take the time to heal. Some heal faster than others and everyone's way of healing is different. I had quite a few really good crying sessions and it felt great to have that release. Also, lean on your dh. Even though we go through not only the emotional ache but physical ache, they ache as well. It made my dh and I even closer when I thought we couldnt get any closer.

 

[Impatientwait]

I know this is the wrong thread but does anyone know the statistics for after a natural? Cause I found out today I def won't be getting the d&c.

 

[mommylov]

I dont but I would try to google it.

 

[Impatientwait]

I tried.. but all thus vicodin and ibuprofen is making my vision crazy.. ill try googling tom.. anyone got any tips o how to get over the feeling that this is gonna happen everytime I get my bfp? I don't feel very successful right now. What if iy just happens everytime. Sorry I'm super emotional today. Seeing a baby or a bump on tv or fb makes me wanna scream

 

[mommylov]

Unfortunantly I would just say time. We have all been there and sometimes are still there. Its an awful feeling but in time your wounds will start to heal. You wont ever forget but you will be able to move on. Let it all out and dont bottle anything inside. That will def help with the anger, hurt, sadness, empty feeling, and all the other emotions you have.

Impatient, there is no TMI on this thread I'm not sure if it was your baby or not. I mostly passed everything at home with mine but I don't really recall much except the blood. My memory is a little hazy from all the pain. So glad they gave you something stronger than just ibuprofen
I don't think you ever really get over the fear when you get your BFP. Even if you had a rainbow before I think you will always be scared. All we can try to do in the first trimester is stay positive. You will have your rainbow!
I'd also suggest maybe hiding posts of anyone on your FB who is pregnant. I had to do that. It just made me more bitter to see other people moving on in that way and I felt stuck and broken. In time it will get easier but for now...don't feel bad about hiding posts.

Angel, what kind of pillow do you have? Pregnancy pillows sound less expensive the further I get. I miss my old bed. It was so soft. I gave it to my mom and now I think I need to go sleep at her house with her when DH is gone. Too bad she is 6 hours away!
I smiled at him riding a bike. He will be a natural

Amy, sore boobs definitely come and go! PMA

Leslie, some people are more fertile after a loss and some aren't. Each one of us is different

AFM: well, I puked up all the water I had drank before my appointment but still had urine to give. Yay. Heartbeat was great, baby was active and trying to hide from the doc's Doppler too.
She said that they maternal fetal specialist should call to set up my appointment in the next couple of weeks so I patiently wait for that.
I may finally go FB official today. I am terrified.

 

[mommylov]

woo hoo for going FB official!!!!! Dont be terrified, this is your rainbow!!!!

 

[bexibabes]

Thanks Ladies, Im abit nervous, i think ill be a wreck the entire time. But i want this so bad.

yeah ive been doing that, bd every single day, 2-3 times some days


hope its not too long till i get my rainbow baby



Fingers crossed for you all. xxx

 

[xoxo4angel]

Ohhh the FB post makes it all so real Bethany! And too sweet the LO wriggles away from the Doppler! I have the Leacho Snoogle Total Body Pillow...I love it's shape, but I'm not a fan of the thread count on the pillow casing. I'll just rig something over it and presto change-o problem solved!

:wave: ladies

Any suggestions for a safe sunscreen? I've googled so much my brain is fried!

 

[Storked]

Bexi, we can all totally relate! Have you looked into the SMEP thread? I don't know of it is still active or not but it was all these ladies who were trying the Sperm Meets Egg Plan and were quite successful!
Some of us are also big fans of preseed lube and soft cups
https://spermmeetseggplan.com/ link to info on the SMEP! It is for girls who suffered a loss

Amy, it is always terrifying I think

Angel, if I got that pillow would there be enough room for my husband in the bed? where did you purchase yours?
I just use baby sunscreen. Mine is the Babyganics brand

 

[jen435]

I use baby sunscreen also Angel! Bethany that total body pillow is great! I also have the boppy pillow one .they do take up room but its managable . You need to be comfy! So cute lily one wiggle s away from doppler!! Happy baby u have!

Amy days are always off give or take. Babys have growth spurts your lily one is ur miracle and i cant wait for u to hear ur babys heartbeat!

Jess so glad u started baby shopping your daughter shall be spoiled!

Bethany did u tell doctor ur not holding down watrr?? They may prrscribe u zofran. That stuff works wonders and is safe.

Hi to all the new ladies! I am so sorry for your loss. As the girls said.in time u will find peace and heal but its important to let out ur feelings and emotions . We are here for you! We have been in ur shoes and if id get pregnant again id still be worried dont think it ever goes away but watching how.other are having babies brings lots of hope. We are meant to be moms and some of us get the gift of being a mom of a gardian Angel along the jorney. Be strong u will pull thru.

 

[jen435]

Im sorry my cell is acting up on b&b along with othrr threads i can see ehat Im typing so its frustrating. I hope u can read what i wroye amf this issue gets fixed

 

[aaronswoman79]

Jen, how are u? Any news? Getting closer to having your princess?

 

[Impatientwait]

Thanx for all the support. I definitely think whats passed earlier was the last bit. It felt weird and I examined it for a while and really didn't wanna flush it. I finally did but it was upsetting. I'm ready to start again....I don't wanna not be pregnant anymore lol

 

[mommylov]

Jen!!! Any updates?!!!?

Had betas done today and cane back at 8836. I'll relax now... Until Tuesday lol
