ttc after a d&c

[TerraJ]

Thank you for the reply lilesMom! I made a post on the main "TTC after loss" board but haven't gotten any replies yet. I am doing OK emotionally wise. 5 weeks after D&C my sister found out she was pg & they weren't trying, so that hit me really hard! But I am doing much better... just focusing on me. My best friend just found out also- last weekend- and she was scare to tell me, but I am so happy for her! I think God is really testing my patience- something I never had much of- and I am learning that ALL things happen for a reason & not neccesarily when we want them to. I just have to have faith! My DH is so supportive and very encouraging! We have been married 2 1/2 years (together a total of 7 1/2) and we used the pull out method as well as me taking the Pill for 6 1/2 of those years. I think he is just having fun with the whole "not being careful" time!! And he knows how bad I want to get pg & be a mom, so he will make comment like "It's time for the baby-making batter!" He's not going to know what to do when it does get time to be more careful again!!

Not long after you replied I went to the bathroom and AF finally her appearance! So now I can focus on a new month. DH just left for work & will be gone 21 days. I am going to start OPKs when AF is finished & hopefully, if my cycle is normal (about 35 days) I will O right about the time he comes home! I would be so excited to be pregnant with my BF since we always talked about being pg at the same time!

Bethany- so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you and your family.

Jess-sorry you had to go through that scariness but so glad that both of you are ok!

Hi TerraJ- so sorry for your loss and the inconsistency in cycles. Glad your body finally cooperated so there is not so much confusion!

AFM- great news ( well as good as can be at the moment!) I got AF ! Started last night almost non existent. Today pretty light. Because it was there ever so slightly last night does this mean I count last night as first day of cycle? Couldn't wait for it to be here...now can't wait for it to end. Of course we both took off the week of our anniversary this week and I will have AF

TerraJ ~ Sorry about your loss It never fails, talk about AF and she'll eventually rear her ugly head! Fx'd the timing works out perfectly for you and your DH!

Leslie ~ Yay for your AF too! This is one of the only times we are happy to see her My RE said CD1 starts with the actual day of flow, so it seems today is your CD1. Now the waiting games begin We'll be cheering you on!

Laura, Jess & Jen ~ Hope you and your little bundles are enjoying the first weekend of summer!

Bethany ~ Thinking of you (cannot believe you're half way already) xoxo

Amy ~ Is it time for that road trip yet? It's always nice to have something to look forward to and a little R&R is just what you need!

I had my work baby shower yesterday...it was very nice. The theme was "Celebrate the Bump." It was a great time! I've received just about everything on my registries and then some! The sweetest part was each person brought a children's book (or two) as part of their gift and started a library for Pierce...I was amazed there were no repeat of books Next Saturday is the shower from our friends and then we can relax!

yeah hon, google SMEP i did it without the opks. my own version of it
i got preg third cycle first time, only bd on day 12 cos i went away tp scotland . this time i got preg first cycle with it. xxx
for me my magic BD day seems to be day 12 i ov on day 14, 28 day cycle.
judging by my early bfp ( day 12 dpo ) , id say day 12 was it for me this time too.
best of luck honey. xxxx
it can happen fast but may not so be prepared for both xxxx
sorry not tryin to rain on u or anything but it sucks worse if hopes r too high xxxx
we will all be cheering u on xxx

no news here.
hope alls well with all xxxx

Jen & Laura, hope you and Zoey and Simon are doing well. Oh and yay for new kitty Laura!!!

Leslie, woo hoo for AF!!!!! We rarely say that but I know the feeling all too well! I too want this next cycle to fly by so that we can get to ttc again.

terra, welcome and very sorry for your loss. I hope that you get your bfp soon!

:wave: to anyone Ive missed!

AFM~, nothing really new... still bleeding (well brown now, sorry TMI) and just getting ready for our trip. It has been nice to focus on that but Im still reminded of my loss everytime I use the loo

 

[aaronswoman79]

Hi ladies. I hope all of you are doing fine. I have been so busy at the NICU where little Sophia is still at. Its heartbreaking to see her hooked up to all of those monitors. She was sicker than they anticipated, and she just needs extra time to get better. Her breathing rate was extremely fast and her oxygen levels were very very low because of all of the amniotic fluid that got into her lungs. Plus they think her lungs were a little bit immature. She was being fed only through tubes, but now she is being fed formula and is doing great. Everything is stabilized now and she was almost ready to go home, but now she is Jaundiced so they might have to keep her a couple of more days. So her first week of life has been spent in the NICU. Laura, I only got a taste of what you went through with little Simon, and it is so hard to see them like that, all hooked up to monitors. I wanted to keep all of you updated because my husband made me go home tonight and rest, I have severe swelling in my feet and ankles for being on my feet so much, instead of resting after giving birth. ( I was induced so I am very bloated up on fluids). So I am at home with my feet elevated, hoping the swelling goes down because I need to go back first thing in the morning to be with my little girl.

Take care ladies.

 

[xoxo4angel]

Jess ~ Poor little Sophia...seems like she is now on the mend! Get your rest

Laura ~ Hope the hospital pump is working its magic for you! And yay for a new kitten! Hugs to Simon xoxo (and you of course).

Jen ~ Yay for being able to drive now! Hope your Mommy's Group was relaxing

Bethany, Amy, Leslie...ladies Hope this finds you all in good spirits

AFM ~ I cake
Oh and I now have heartburn...cake doesn't cause it if course, but yeah, heartburn. I don't mind though, I'm learning to sleep upright

 

[mommylov]

Jess big hugs and hope that little Sophia gets better soon. Im so sorry that you and Laura didnt have smooth deliveries but hope you and your littles feel better soon xoxoxo

:wave: to everyone and hope you all are doign well!

 

[lilesMom]

jess i hear u hon, its a nightmare but it will be over soon and u will be home for lots of cuddles xxxxx
I swelled a lot too cos I was sitting by incubator so much, it is hard to recover from birth at same time as tryin to be with them xxx
hope ur beautifull Sophia is home really soon hon xxxxx hugs xxxxxxxx

amy enjoy ur trip xxxx
hope this is the end of bleedsing for u now honey xxxxxx hugs zxx

stil readin g but simon is rumbling so goona post cos may need to leave xx

 

[lilesMom]

angel I slept sittin up for months
it disappears like magic when bub is born, my back got instantly better too,
not perfect but minus bump its heaps better already xxx
and I can touch my toes, ha ha xxxx
don't get me started on ohsp pump ha ha.,
they r coming to take it back tomro, it worked soo well first go,
then stopped working as well and I ended up with really painfull blocked duct on right boob , ouchie
took me 2 days of extra pumping to unblock it!!!
so needless to say I rang to return it, they said , they had a slight issue witht hat sometimes alright and would I like a replacement .
well short polite answer is no xx
so back to my old single pump again. but im used to it now
public health nurse told me I shouldn't combination feed, was gutted to think I would have to give up now , im not ready to stop giving him booby milk , plus he is thriving.
I rang hospital neonatal unit he was in and they basically said she was talking crap but just in nicer wording so glad , I didn't know I was quite so attached to my pumping ha ha
I aim for few more weeks anyway with it, but slowly phase it down soonish id say .
so sorry ramble over, needed to rant nurse made me doubt myself for the eve and do lots of googlin on combi feeding
hope alls well with everyone xxxxxxxxx

jen how r u and zoe xxxxxxxxx

hi and hugs to all xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Liliesmom - I got a kitten recently too!! So much fun! he attacks everything that moves also. What kind of kitten did you get?

Mommylov - Im doing great thank you. My pain seems to have disappeared and 4 more days till my 2nd AF should show up after my op. Heres hoping its ok and we can start trying again next month.
Im very sorry you are still going through this and im very sorry for your loss.

Leslie - Its nearly time for us!!! Fingers crossed to BFP first time try!!

Jess - Sounds like a nightmare. Not a great way to start but hopefully she will be home soon and you and enjoy her!!

Hi to everyone else and hugs to all!

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Thanks for the pointers guys! will try to use them without hopefully stressing too much. How long did it take everyone to get BFP once trying again?

Jess- how is Sophia doing? Sorry you are going through this all.

Amy- how are you doing? Hope everything is coming to an end so you can look to the future. Do you have another appt with specialist coming up?

Lisa- glad your pain has gone away and hopefully this will stay that way and AF comes on time! My AF just ended today. Happy it ended but I will be honest I am really having nervous thoughts because it does mean we start over and have to deal with it again....good but bad. I am sure you know what I mean, as does everyone else here.

Hello to everyone else!! Hope all is well
