TTC after miscarriage/loss

Such great news NZVeg!! So lovely to hear you making it past some of these big hurdles. Sounds like the messaries and aspirin are working like a charm! Nice ticker, too :-)

Hi Mac! I CAN'T believe you are 30+ weeks! OMG!!! How exciting. It seems only like yesterday that you were lurking around cause you were too afraid to leave the forums. I'm so happy for you. I hope these next few weeks fly by without any dramas. Keep us all posted :-) And yes, I'm taking a TTC break. Not really intentionally though. I'm STILL freakin recovering from the last mc. I had a massive, huge, uncontrollable bleed a week ago (worse than my mc!) for about 5 hours. Went to med centre but couldn't work out what it was. I had been bleeding/spotting on and off since the end of September. Anyway, I thought that was the beginning of the end, but then I started bleeding again a few days ago :-( Sooooo over this drama. I have an apt for next monday. I've gone on the pill (self prescribed) to maybe help sort out some hormones if they are the culprit cause it's a TWW to see my gp. Long story short.... when will this nightmare mc end?!?!? By the time it's over, it'll probably be time to start IVF. But I still have a few blood tests to do but can't cause I need my proper cycle to do them. Grrr. I've been avoiding the forums for a while cause it's too depressing. I'm so happy for everyone, but it just reminds me how easy this journey usually is for 99% of this world.

Cupcaker, sorry to hear about your losses in the past year. I've had 4 in the last 18 months and it totally sucks!!!

Soda, how are you getting on? Did you hand in your resignation at work already? I quite my job a few weeks ago too. I think that the emotional stress of what's going on in our lives just makes work so difficult sometimes. And maybe the change is what we need to help us move on.

Seaview, as always, it's lovely having you still a part of this thread - your support has always been so helpful! How's everyone else doing? Sara, Sarzy?

Hi a.girl, so gutted your body has been giving you such grief! I hope it sorts itself out soon.

I've actually been feeling really good the past week, we got a dog (4yrold girl) and she's made me so happy :-) trying to chill (haha) about the TTC thang, new preg announcements a the time sigh! My besties girl is 3 weeks old now, she was born 4 days before Georges EDD so that's been tough!

I did the Tongariro crossing on his EDD, what a challenge!

I've been a bit quiet on here but hope everyone else is good in the lead up till Christmas, looking forward to a fresh start in 2015 and lots of babies :-)

Soda, it's a good thing you didn't resign straight away. I resigned in the middle of my mad-emotional state and kind of regretted it later. I still wish I could keep my job, but I will always wonder how the chemicals were effecting me, and I don't want that on my conscience for the rest of my life. You can't have everything, aye? New Caledonia sounds exciting!

Yay for a fur baby Sara! I'm sure she will appreciate all the love you have to spare right now. I know how you feel about seeing babies that are on/near the due date of your loss. I stopped keeping track of the number of times that's happened, and I'm sure I've lost one friend over it (it was just TOO hard seeing her little girl growing up over the last year and i couldn't handle all the mum-talk)

Sarzy, good on you for being proactive and seeing the doc sooner rather than waiting. I booked in to see a specialist after my second mc and am so glad I did. I'd only just NOW be clicking over into the public system (and I also met the public obgyn I'd have to see and really really didn't like him). Good luck with your appointment and don't be afraid to tell them what you need!

Thanks for all your sympathy. Yes, the never ending mc is proving to be one of the tougher things in life. Having IVF looming in the background is about the only thing helping me get though it to be honest. I probably need to have a big hiatus from these forums but I really want to share in your journeys too :-)

A.girl! I think of you often and wonder how you are. So sorry things have been sh*tehouse for you since the last mc. Having a mc is enough of a roller coaster physically and emotionally, let alone have it drag on and interfere with relative normality. Hope pit sorts itself out with your pill as you say as maybe hormones.

As for me things are ticking obviously. But it doesn't mean every day I'm still checking to see if any spotting (haven't had any touch wood). I still freak out that might not make if to safety of bubs in arms. Not feeling much (if any) movements and doubting myself if I think could have been. Hardly showing really considering I should be getting close to half way.

Anyway, I'm still having everything crossed for you all in here for a promising future x

Huge hugs for today Soda :( it sure is a tough day to battle through. Hope you and your jam hug each other tight tonight x

Hope you got through the day ok Soda xx .

Agirl I'm so sorry to hear you're still having problems carry on from the last mc!! That's so unfair and I can't even imagine how tough it is on you mentally as well as physically. I had two d&c's 6wks apart and that was bad enough in terms of being dragged out. I really hope it's all sorted soon and the new year brings a beautiful bub in your arms...I think of you often and your message to me had me in tears to my partner when I read it. Hang in there massive hugs xxx
Thinking also of all you ladies, sounds like its been a really tough time for everyone in here lately...I'm hoping and praying for a new year full of new arrivals for all of you xx

Hi pepi! Such great news! I love hearing the positive stories in this thread It's great too that the ms hasn't been as bad in this pregnancy for you. I hope it continues to improve.

You're so sweet Mac and Talz. I really missing having you ladies in this forum regularly (though of course I'm super happy that you have graduated!). You always know what to say to make people feel better or just how to sympathize with them. It's a lonely path at times, but there's no doubt that women like you make it bearable.

Soda, ceroc sounds like fun! Have you ever done it before? A friend of mine up here just loves it and travels 3 hours just to dance on the weekends! Hopefully taking your mind off of things and doing a bit more for yourself will be just what your body needs to make a healthy bub!

Sara, is there something you need to tell us?!?!?!? ;-)

AFM, got some provera today to hopefully stop the bleeding. Doc thinks my hormones are out of whack or I still have a bit of tissue left over (doubt that cause my hcg was 5 a few weeks ago, but we checked hcg this avo just to make sure it's lower). So hopefully spotting will stop in the next few days. I think I made it over the hump... last week was one year since my mum died, one year since bub number 2 died, and the due date of bub number 3. Man, I'm glad to be past that. And of course, I'm thankful that I have all you lovely ladies to share these difficult times with. xx

Sara that's such great news! !!!! Huge congrats and stick little one xxx

Fantastic news Sara! It will be so lovely if you are almost due with George's little brother or sister by his birthday next year.
