Hey ... love being a lurker but guess its time to step out & join the group )
** baby dust to all **

Had a natural m/c last August and had my fair shares of up & down ... hardest thing is for me to see babies around the same age as my lil one if I didn't m/c *sign*
Quick question, has anyone experienced mid cycle bleeding (around ovulation time?) I started to get this a few months after the m/c, had blood tests done but my dr isn't too concerned with it ... one major problem, my DH won't come near me if im bleeding .... ugh !!!
Hoping to be more of an active member in here )

Rubylou- I am sending you sticky baby vibes xoxo

Kmaharaj -thinking of you today and big hugs

Kazz33 fingers crossed for you

Bluecup- where are you?? Hope you are ok xo

Welcome Mkii - sorry for you loss, I hope you find it supportive in here as I have. In regards to your question I had many years ago bleeding around ovulation and had checks done etc (which came back normal) and was told it was just a chemical imbalance and Gp told me to go on the pill and that corrected it for me..

Clare L - I agree with being proactive hopefully your Gp will help you out

Wishing - how you going?

AFM - AF showed up uninvited like other every month, was really hoping it was my month.. Now I'm just counting down to BD time.. Sometimes I feel like my body is broken coz it's taking soo long now:(

I haven't ever used a forum before. I am finding it difficult to talk to anyone (especially my DH) about my recent miscarriage at 6.5 weeks (10/4/12). Has anyone else experienced this?

It was a very much wanted pregnancy... so much so that it was a honeymoon pregnancy. I got sick while we were away and was in hospital so maybe that is why it didn't last and I feel so guilty that if I had have been more careful with food and hygeine it wouldn't have happened. This was my 2nd miscarriage, my first one was last July at around 7-8 weeks. Both were natural & complete miscarriages.

How soon can I start TTC again? We both really want to start a family.

Jaynen81 - Thank you for the warm welcome, once you started the pill to correct the problem how long did it take for the mud cycle bleeding to completely stop? (sorry if I'm being too personal with my question)
Emmy-g - I'm only new to this forum (publicly anyway) We didn't tell anyone about the m/c or that we were ttc so I found a lot of comfort and support just reading through the messages on this board.

[Jaynen81]

Welcome Emmy G - I'm so sorry for you loss.. Please don't blame yourself for what happened, it's just ones of those things which isn't anyone's fault.. I had a d&c and my dr told me to wait one cycle but that was purely for dating purposes, my SIL had a natural mc last year and she didn't wait before her next cycle and fell pregnant straight away..

Mkii no probs i dont mind you asking from memory I was only on the pill for about a month or two . As soon as I started taking the pill the bleeding stopped and it hasn't come back plus I didn't want to be on the pill either.. Hope this helps

Hi Ladies, I just saw your thread and thought i would join. I just had my third MC almost 3 weeks ago..and tommorow is the due date for the baby we MC'd last year. Ugh..I have been TTC #1 for 6 years..its getting tiresome waiting.

My story is that DH and I started TTC in 2006 when I was 34. Before that we had been NTNP for a few years. I figured out about ovulation and assumed during NTNP we had just missed the egg each time.

Then in 2008 just as I was starting to investigate with a doctor why it wasn't happening, i finally got a BFP. We were thrilled, but MC at 6 weeks. We figured it happened once, it would happen again..even the doctor told me youre extra fertile after a MC. So by 2010 and still nothing I decided it was due time to investigate..the doc sent me for bloodwork..all was fine. I was sent to a Gyno who performed a lap/hyst and whatever the other surgery is and she discovered BOTH my fallopian tubes were blocked! She recommended becasue of my age to go straight to IVF.

So we did our first round of IVF, got 7 eggs, 4 fertilized, one grew to 5 days and was transferred. By this time it was December and the time I should have had my blood test the clinic was closed..I used a pee stick and got a super faint line, but by the time the clinic re opened and i had the blood test it was negative. We tried again..this time my stim dose was doubled to get more eggs, but once again we got 7 eggs..this time only 3 fertilized. One was transferred at day 3 and 2 others were frozen. BFN..so we did the first frozen embryo..it worked. Praise the lord we were pregnant. We saw the heartbeat at 6 weeks. We kept it pretty much to ourselves, a handful of people knew, but at 10 weeks I woke up with a huge gush of blood. I knew in my heart it was over. I found it frustrating when people would try to tell me it was ok because they and their sisters cousins all bled dramatically and their babies were fine. I knew mine wasn't.

3 months later we used the last frozen embryo..it also worked. Praise the lord..third time lucky..this baby would be our little miracle..I knew it would be,.lots of people told me they knew this was it for us..we saw the heartbeat at 6 weeks..the heartrate was a lot stronger in this one..the HSG was higher...but at 8 weeks I had spotting..again I knew it was over..people again told me it would be fine..but i got a scan and there was no longer a heartbeat..I bled it out the next day.

So here I am still..3 pregnancies..no babies..we will try IVF one more time. I just met with a naturopath yesterday who is going to do her best to help. I see my IVF doctor on the 30th..He will do some testing to see if theres a medical reason why our babies miscarry. I so hope its just something simple and can be fixed!

Kez71- really sorry to read about your heartache. I know what you mean about feeling frustrated when people tell you it will be ok. I mean we all know our own bodies so we know when something isn't right.

It must be difficult having to wait another 2 weeks to see your Dr. I hope the time goes past quickly for you and that everything goes well.

Hi ladies,

LittleJacksonOne, emmy-g and MKii - welcome to our group. Im sorry for what you've been through before you joined us. Look forward to getting to know you better. emmy-g, im not sure there's a concensus on how soon you can start again. We were told 2 months. As it turned out, I was in a lot of pain following d&c and it really took me a good couple of months to recover properly anyway. But I think you should just listen to your body. Give yourself time tho.

kez71 - You've really had a rough time for so long. So heartbreaking. I really hope you get some answers soon (and a BFP, of course!). Thank-you for joining us here and sharing your story.

Wishing - Sorry AF showed up. Bad news! It is really hard isnt it? We're all here for you though, whenever you need to unload.

Kazz33 - Happy anniversary. Im glad you had a great night. About your SIL - its strange when that hurt you feel sneaks up on us isnt it? Sometimes it takes me by surprise too.

Rubylou - What's happening? Did you go back to the Dr today? I have everything crossed for you. I hope so much that you're alright. Please let us know.

Jaynen, Im really sorry to hear that AF came for you. She has an uncanny knack for finding us it seems! I understand how you feel, its been ages for us now too. Thanks for thinking about me. Ive been working 12 hour days all week, so ive just been coming home exhausted. DH has been great and taken care of everything at home though. Bring on the weekend! Im half way through my tww, will probably test next Thursday. Aaargh, still seems like ages away.

kmaharaj - Happy anniversary! I hope your day got better. Your DH was sweet, sending you flowers! We've looked at intercountry adoption too and it seems like things have really changed over the last 5 years. I think the number of children being adopted out from every country has declined. Hopefully that means theres not so many babies and little children in those countries, who are looking for someone to love them. But Im not sure thats always the case. DH and I have quite a lot of friends with adopted children and we've always thought we'd like to do that too, but it feels like that is not even worth trying anymore.

Clare - it sounds like you're being really strong. good on you. I can imagine i would have felt very disappointed after that dr appointment too. Glad she's following up more now though.

AFM - Im still in tww, grrr. Ive been flat out preparing for this trip I have coming up so at least thats a distraction. Ive had a bit of creamy cm this last few days. I dont want to get my hopes up, but FF says 30% of pg charts have that at this stage. Im DPO today. Did you guys experience that?

Getting to know you question for everyone: If you could choose to live anywhere, where would it be? (Doesnt have to be a real place, btw

Hello all,

Just a little update... Went back to the doctors today and they think the spotting is normal, but are still concerned. My HCG today was 220 so it has more than tripled in 48 hours which is a good sign. Another test on Friday and then a possible scan next week if it doesn't settle down. I have been told to rest so it will be couch and telly for a few days for me

Welcome to all of the new people who have joined our group.

Please let me know if posting this stuff on here bothers any of you. I am not quite ready to move to a PG forum yet, but also don't want to upset anyone.

Thank you for your well wishes, in return I send you all loads of baby dust xox

[Jaynen81]

Rubylou- I don't mind you posting and feel free to stick around for as long as you like I'm sure everything will be fine it's a bubba that was mean to be xo

Blue cup - I have everything crossed for you and praying you get your BFP and then hopefully I can follow you out next If I could live anywhere it would be between two places so half my time in Hawaii because of the beaches and the other half of my time Paris because it's just beautiful what about you?

Hope everyone else has a good day
