Hi guys. I'm having a D&C tomorrow so although we aren't starting to TTC quite yet we are moving forward towards it. How long did you all wait before you started TTC again?

@MrsH: I'm so sorry for your loss. We were told to wait 2-3 cycles, but after I had 2 cycles, my doctor told me we could try again. We waited another month for emotional reasons. We started back this last month and we not successful. HOpefully this month we will be. : /

@Dr. Pepper: I'm so sorry to hear that you miscarried again. Hugs!!!

Hi everyone, I had a D&C on 6/29. We found out at 9 weeks that baby had no heartbeat and was only measuring 6 weeks. The dr. originally said to wait for my first period, which hasn't come yet. I went in for my follow-up appt yesterday. She said everything looks great, and that I was ok to TTC again even without the period. She also mentioned that she thinks I'm ovulating, so we're going to try for this month. Good luck to all of you!

@Dr. Pepper: So sorry to hear about your loss. So many hugs to you!

Hey guys. I had a D&C on 7/25 after an ultrasound showed there was no heartbeat at 9 weeks (the baby was measuring right at 9 weeks). I'm finally to a point where I can think positively about it even though I still have rough days. My follow-up appointment is next week, so that's what I'm looking forward to at this point.

My doctor has been absolutely amazing (she actually texted me yesterday to ask how I was doing). She said to wait until after I get my period and we can try again. I trust her, so that's what we'll be doing unless she says otherwise at our appointment.

The one thing that gives me hope is the vast amount of women who have told me they miscarried their first pregnancy and went on to have healthy babies. You don't realize how many women go through this until they start talking with you about yours. Big hugs to y'all and I hope we all get our sticky babies very soon!!

@MrsCastro: we waited 2 cycles. My doctor originally told me 3, but when he saw me at 6 wks he told me we could start trying again. I was doing okay there emotionally. I had two normal periods and then my periods were very heavy after that. We are now on our 4th cycle post-delivery, but 1st after my original due date I think my body was kind of out of it, in limbo. Was it pregnant, was I not---just unsure. I'm waiting to see if we are pregnant this cycle.

Emotionally, I was actually okay with the fact that we haven't gotten pregnant yet. I think my needed some time to sort itself out and I've gotten rid of some old lining, etc.

On to our next cycle..........I really had trouble with this one. It's our first one past our original due date. I almost lost it at our school Mass when one of the moms walked by with her new baby girl. I kept it together, but it was hard. She had a lost with her recent baby, so I'm very happy that this pregnancy worked for her family. It just was really hard for me to see.

This one I'm using the CBEFM. Last time we used, we were pregnant, so here's hoping it's lucky.

@MrsCastro: fingers crossed!!!

@MrsCastro: Okay......I started working out again and that helped. We are using our CBEFM this month and we've hit our first HIGH. that's good. I'm trying to be zen and it's going pretty well. We will see if it works in a few weeks.

Hi Everyone,

I guess I'm joining this group now....

My m/c was so early that it falls into the chemical pregnancy category. I'm just going to treat this as Cycle # 2 and carry on as I did last month.

Positives:
- I've suffered one loss (all be it an easy one in comparison) and I know I can cope.
- I know that our sperms and eggs do work and we can conceive.

My fear:
- I'm terrified that it will take us months and months to conceive again. If it happens right away, it wont sting so much - but if it doesn't, I will feel sad at every milestone I would have reached in the lost pregnancy.
- I'm scared it will happen again and next time I wont be so strong.

Thanks for being there. x

@Ali: @alison206: Hi guys, just chiming in here. My m/c was so long ago (it's been about 6 years) that I don't think about it very often anymore. Maybe it was because it was very early and I was on BCP - I never even thought to call an OB about the BFP, it was such a blur and I was busy as I'd just started teaching and gotten engaged. In a way I'm glad I never even kept track of the date. I just assumed we'd have a THB after the wedding.

We don't know why it worked then and things aren't working now. Part of me hopes there is still a chance for us to conceive naturally.

Okay, edit - we know why things aren't working now. Don't know why it sort of worked then!

Hi all. Unfortunately I'm new to the group. So sorry for all that everyone here has had to go through. I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks (baby measured 8) on 9/30. After a week and a half of continued bleeding I received an ultrasound that showed tissue still there and they decided to schedule a D&C (after telling me I didn't need one the week before). I had the D&C Friday and am still bleeding. Wondering if anyone had a similar experience and when you finally stopped bleeding?
