I don't have any advice, but I'm hoping your doctors will be able to monitor you and get you started as soon as you are comfortable doing so. Love and light headed your way. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-again#post-1813289 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:40:31 +0000 cheert16 1813289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar: no words of advice- but thinking of you today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-again#post-1813094 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 06:49:40 +0000 swedishfish 1813094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar: your one frozen embryo could be your second LO.

I wish it wasn't such a hard road for you but you are one inspirational lady, keep strong my friend.

And if that's the case, sooner is better - our protocols here are really long. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-again#post-1813049 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 05:02:08 +0000 twodoghouse 1813049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar: Do you have any embryos frozen or do you have to go through a fresh cycle? My sister lost her IVF baby late last year around 9 weeks. She had a D &amp; C early December and at Christmas her # had finally gotten below 5. She had two embies frozen so she just had to wait and see if it her cycle would return on its own. Her dr said February was about the best they could hope for as far as trying again and she was able to transfer again then. She's now quite pregnant with twins! This of course was just when she was physically able to try again. I can't really speak to the emotional aspect but I think you should give yourself time to grieve and process the lost. Love and healing thoughts to you. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-again#post-1813044 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 04:24:00 +0000 lilteacherbee 1813044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs :heart:</p> <p>We started TTC again after I got AF for the first time, so about 5 weeks after the D&amp;C. Emotionally, it's what I needed to do. I had to feel like I was doing something (even though, obviously, I had very little control). My doctor said that waiting for AF would give my body the chance to heal and waiting any additional time would be mainly for emotional healing.</p> <p>I saw you mentioned getting the genetic testing done and I think that was a big part of my healing process. I think I got my results back about 3 weeks after the D&amp;C. We found out that our baby had Turner's Syndrome (one of her X chromosomes wasnt fully formed).Its a chromosomal abnormality that is seemingly random and did not increase our chance of m/c in the future. Something about that information made it a bit easier to move forward. One thing to note is that this testing reveals the gender, so if you don't want to know (I knew by default because Turner's only affects girls), be sure to tell your doctor.</p> <p>Feel free to wall me if you have any more questions. My experience was just over 2 years ago and when that day came last month, it brought back so many feelings. I will tell you that I experienced so many emotions (and boy, I was pissed for awhile), but eventually it gets a little better. Time helped more than anything and when I got pregnant again, I was terrified and anxious the entire time. I don't want to say that it was "worth it" at all, but sitting here holding my 9 month old makes that whole awful time seem lightyears away. I hope the same for you. It sucks, but it will get better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-again#post-1813041 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 03:55:54 +0000 jaguar 1813041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obviously it's early days since our loss at 11 weeks, but I'm a planner... and trying to figure out what 'the norm' is for trying again.</p> <p>We have the added bonus of being an IVF family, so we can't just jump into trying.... we need to look at organising stuff with our clinics and what not.</p> <p>I'm so terrified of going through the IVF again, only to face another miscarriage. This week has really thrown me. :( </p>
