Hi all,

Sorry to hear your journey is over Jo xx

Regina, how are you doing?

Becks, how's it going?

Can't believe its Caitlin's 2nd birthday on Thursday, where has the last 2 years gone?

Thanks Jo, I'm so sorry to read your journey ttc is at an end, tbh I think mine is too, although I have got pregnant I just can't seem to keep any of my lo's and I'm starting to accept its all over tbh. I have an app at the hospital on 1st Oct which I will go to but mainly because I was told they did tests on my lo I lost last and no one seems to have any answers about that I think I'm about cd 17 and I think I've o as my cm is a pretty good indicator but I'm not holding out any hopes, two babies lost at 12 weeks and even if I did get pregnant again I'm sure it will end the same way, I've lost all hope ladies xxxx
Lisa where does the time go can't believe our lo's are soon to be two xx

Sorry to hear your journey is over Jo. Becks I hope you get some answers about your last LO.

It's so tough when the clock starts ticking... I have had 2 MCs now (1st was ectopic) and can't help but feel that my eggs are not good enough. I lost my right ovary with the ectopic, and I usually O'd on that side prior to its removal so it makes me think the eggs on the left are sub-standard. I have, though, still been regular with O happening around CD15, so I'm holding on to a little hope. I can tell my hormones are a little mental... they don't seem to be as bad this cycle so I'm hoping it's a post-MC thing.

I am 2/3 dpo today and pretty sure I'm out already. We only DTD 4 to 5 days prior to O for several reasons, the universe was against me conceiving this month haha!

Hey there, I am right here with you. I am 43 and lost my first one, had a D&C last week. I am still recovering and working on getting in shape. As soon as I get the all clear I plan to try again.

I was told due to some ovary issues that I could not have children so you can only imagine my surprise when I got pregnant in June. Then the devastation when I lost it in August. Its rough, but I am trying (with all the odds against me) to stay positive. My doc is optimistic that I am healthy and will not have a problem conceiving and having a healthy baby. Well, I thought I would be nearing my second trimester feeling as confident, but that didn't happen. So here I am......still hopeful!!!

Thank you for this thread..

If you look at our first page you will see a number of rainbow babies have been born on this thread.

This should give you hope that anything is possible.

Congrats Left Wondering, what lovely news

Justme, so sorry for your loss. That must've been especially tough for you. Do your docs no longer think you have any issues with your ovaries? I love your positive attitude, and hope you get a rainbow baby x

Finally stopped breastfeeding, last time was on her birthday. Bit sad, but ready to move on.

Hello ladies - been MIA lately but all is good. It's been almost a month since my miscarriage and things are moving along.

I've been really focused on my body and getting back in shape. I am up to walking 5 miles a day and feeling great physically.

Still waiting for my first af so that we can get the ball rolling again. My doc asked me to wait until after the first cycle. I know many moms to be did not wait, but I figured why not, it will give me time to get back in shape.

So the waiting continues, but I am much happier than I've been in a really long time. This whole experience has placed a dark cloud over my head, but now things are looking brighter.

Have a wonderful day ladies!!!
