I honestly don't know how it will be different other than waiting to tell parents and siblings until I have my first ultrasound. I have a lot of trepidation about this...there is not much I could have done differently other than to give it over wholly and completely to God. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1885840 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 11:46:44 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1885840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: That's totally what we do too! He just lets me tell him when we need to get busy and he rolls with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1884150 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:56:33 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1884150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: first of all, I'm so sorry for your loss. Post m/c I definitely felt differently about TTC, &amp; in some ways a little more desperate. I'm an AMA (older) mama-to-be, &amp; having a m/c scared me that now it wasn't even just about getting pregnant, but staying pregnant. The good changes were that I found a 35+ prenatal vitamin from Rainbow Light which may have helped as it is higher in some B vitamins, which I've heard can be helpful. I had just been diagnosed with hypothyroid &amp; got on thyroid meds as we got pg the 1st time (hypothyroid can cause problems getting/staying pg) so now had stabilized my thyroid function by the time I got pg again. I have been getting acupuncture treatments to balance my baby making/growing energies :happy: and have just tried to be healthy while I was charting (temping &amp; opks) to learn more about my cycles. We were actually referred by the OB who saw me post m/c to an RE b/c of the combo of my age &amp; the m/c but we didn't get around to any treatments before getting pg on our own. The huge bonus, though, to being under an RE's care right now is that I believe they are WAY more responsive &amp; willing to keep a closer eye on our progress. Oh, &amp; maybe this would be considered obsessive of me, but I've gotten 5 beta hcg tests done with this pregnancy, as I needed to keep an eye on how my levels were doubling. We are finally at the point where u/s can give us reassurance, so I'll be stepping away from the beta draws. :silly:<br /> I had just told my family we were pg when we lost the 1st baby, &amp; while I felt bad "taking it back", they were absolutely critical to my grieving process. We ended up telling DH's parents about our loss &amp; they, too were so kind &amp; comforting to us, so I am glad we did. I have again told my parents &amp; sister, for the same reason... I wanted to share the happy news &amp; ask for their prayers, but to have my support system in place in case we lost this baby. We are at 6w1d so, still cautiously optimistic. I'll be waiting a little longer to tell friends, I think, &amp; as long as possible to tell coworkers. :goodluck: :heart: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1883931 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:55:33 +0000 Eko 1883931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really did things differently except maybe stay on vitamins and baby aspirin. I found that really thinking about it or changing things to my routine really caused me a lot of stress, which is not good and unneeded. I always took the angle that with m/c's you never know why it happened in the first place and there are a ton of ladies who have a healthy 9 months without changing their routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1883878 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:13:21 +0000 mrsjyw 1883878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been very good about taking prenatal vitamins, EPO, and baby aspirin. I'm also making sure not to overdose on coffee daily. Other than that, it's mostly just trying to relax and time things well :)</p> <p>Lots of :goodluck: to you!!</p> <p>My hopeful plan is to test when AF is late. I will probably tell those we told during our CP cycle. My support system with either news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1883871 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:10:07 +0000 bushelandapeck 1883871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I know..if only it were that easy! My DH had no concept of the BD timing so I just initiated when I knew it was time. He never complained ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1883864 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:05:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1883864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: me too! But no pressure lol. My husband is taking BD time frame a bit more seriously. So fingers crossed still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1883826 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:51:57 +0000 ValentineMommy 1883826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, exactly what @Jess1483: said about keeping tight lipped. I waited the "appropriate" time with DS. With my mc/second pregnancy, I was much more open about that than I should have been. I was in a false sense of security apparently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1883824 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:50:57 +0000 ValentineMommy 1883824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I added a ton, ton, ton of vitamins. I haven't cut out caffeine, but I've cut way back to one a day. I'd like to cut it out though....we'll see. I've also been doing acupuncture, meditation, and yoga.....not so much for fertility, but moreso for my sanity. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1883812 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:37:35 +0000 Jess1483 1883812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the tww of my first cycle after mc. I had told more people than I will this time for sure (I didn't go public, but also wasn't as tight-lipped as I was for my first pregnancy). I think the biggest changes will be emotional. It will be hard for me to get excited until past my mc point (8 weeks) at least. I also had been having occasional coffee, which I cut out after af. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1883808 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:35:26 +0000 bushelandapeck 1883808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do anything different really. We hadn't told anyone we were pregnant when I miscarried at 10w and we waited until 14w this time to tell anyone. I was definitely more anxious and nervous about getting pregnant, but I tried to keep things as normal as possible. I still had wine, coffee (in moderate amounts), and kept taking my prenatal vitamins. I was lucky and got pregnant during that first cycle. I hope the same is true for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-cycle-after-mc-trying-new-things#post-1883799 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:29:05 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1883799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never ever have I been so excited for my cycle to return. This will be our first cycle after an early miscarriage where we can try again. </p> <p>This time around I have been taking my multi-vitamins and cut way back on coffee. Mr. Lime has asked me not to test early since last time I tested 1 day before my suspected new cycle. I will try to oblige him, but no matter what I'm keeping any positive pregnancy news to myself for a while. Telling him and our immediate family right after was a big mistake.</p> <p>What did you do differently after your MC? </p>
