TTC after miscarriage/loss

Hi tryingfor#4, so sorry to hear the loss of your twins :( big hugs, hopefully your rainbow comes along soon xx

Pregnancy appointments and arrangments are so horrible when you have to cancel them. As if you need any more pain.

Wow Soda, how exciting about your section! I'll need updates on housing choice and plans :D sorry about the BFN, maybe you feel OK because next cycle is the one! So hoping for you :)

What's metformin Poppy? Random question but do you chart?

How are you going Luckyjade? Very sorry to hear of your mmc :( xx

Does anyone else have a retroverted uterus? I've read that it makes it harder to mc naturally and chances of doing so even with misoprostol are slim. (I used misoprostol once, and it was a disaster).

Thanks a.girl, yes D&C went as well as it could have, I only had light bleeding afterwards and now no bleeding at all. Was a bit of stabby pain for a few days after. I am SO anxious to hear babys karyotype results! I think I could try ring and ask for them by the end of next week. But our follow up appointment isn't until the 20th of May >.< SO FAR AWAY! And that's when we (DH and I) get our testing done, and then more waiting after that for our results. So currently just drifting, feel like a dandelion seed.

July is sneaking up a.girl! Soon I'll be asking for weekly updates and then daily updates!! My normal cycle OPK's are as you describe (darkening, really dark, nothing much there), but my cycle's that have been messed up I can get what seems like +OPK's for days, it's like my body wants to do it, but can't quite get there >.<

Sorry to hear that Soda. Fx for next cycle.

Nellenium, as Soda said metformin is a diabetes drug that helps with insulin resistance. A side effect is that it seems to help some pcos suffers ovulate. I like it because there's no need for any monitoring, you just take it every day and hope for the best. When it works, it works well. For me, I went from no af for 6mths after my first miscarriage to regular 28 day cycles when I went on it to conceive my dd and we got pregnant first try. This time it hasn't worked so well. Regulated my cycle to 42 days every time with ovulation at 28 days. So far I have a 100% conception rate (if we have relations around ovulation I get pregnant), I just can't seem to hold on to them this time. So I'm adding in the progesterone to see if that helps. Also upping my metformin dose. I've only every gone to one twice daily but trying to increase to three times daily and see if that helps. 5wks since my mc and I'm waiting anxiously for af so I can start the countdown. I don't chart. Have used the clearblue ov kit for last two cycles and got pregnant on both but lost them. That's the extent of it. Not trying this time as mc was a little later so wanted my body to have a rest.

Hi all.
I was indeed on progesterone from BFP to 12 weeks! First time I've used it and it worked (or something did). I didn't really get any symptoms at all from it that I know of.
Nell - I have a pretty seriously retroverted uterus and I've been told it shouldn't affect fertility at all! But having said that I also haven't managed to m/c naturally apart from the first time! Even with misoprostol I had no success. So hope you get some answers!!

Thanks Poppy. I agree that having a successful pregnancy is the only thing that I can think of that will soften the blow for me. Even thinking about her announcing her pregnancy to the rest of family makes me feel ill and we've gone from seeing each other or talking most days to me not wanting to be around her at all (she probably doesn't want to be around me either). I need to find away to make it work with her, but I'm not sure how. I don't know what's causing the miscarriages and have been told that I had to have three to be referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic (which I've now had). I've since found out that they might only take women under 40, which I'm not, so I'm not sure where that leaves me. I have been to gp after the 2nd one and she didn't have a clue really. How are you investigating your infertility? With this latest pregnancy I tried taking daily low dose aspirin from ovulation, as I know several people who have had multiple miscarriages have successful pregnancies by taking aspirin. It didn't work for me. This forum seems pretty quiet (which is a good thing in some ways!), does anyone know of any Facebook groups or anything that supports women in our situation?

awesome Poppy you have things to try for now- hopefully thats all you need!

Sorry Soda about the BFN. It's so hard isn't it? A break sounds like a good idea. I'm kind of looking forward to having at least a month off trying. I'm not ready yet and need some sort of intervention, otherwise I think exactly the same thing will happen if I get pregnant again. Also I still haven't stopped bleeding and ovulation is likely to be soon. Thanks for the info about Fertility Associates Poppy - I didn't realise they did the pregnancy loss side of things. I've since spoken to them and now have a glimmer of hope that I might be able to cope with trying again, with the type of support they offer (assuming we can find the money).

Hi ladies, thought I would update that we got our bfp :) Very happy but I'm also rather nervous. Have a dating scan in 3 weeks so can't wait for that but seems like a long wait.

Thanks Poppy, no didn't do anything different just tried to continue as normally as possible. I don't think I'll start to relax at all until I'm passed 12 weeks though as that's when we lost the twins. I wish the next couple of weeks would hurry up though really hoping to see a little heartbeat :)

Glad to hear you are doing as well as can be expected. Hugs to you.

What notifications are you getting? Is it the weekly development ones or forum ones?

If you have added the pregnancy into your profile you'll need to delete that, I think that's where the development ones come from. The forum ones are in the control panel.

Great thanks Poppy I will edit my profile as it is the development ones that I don't want to see. I don't mind getting notifications.
