TTC after miscarriage/loss

Good luck poppy! Let us know how you get on :-)

ohh feels so good to have a plan i bet, Poppy! yay hopefully this is your time :)

Hi I'm new here and thought I would join in. We had a miscarriage in Feb at 12 weeks, we went for our routine scan and found there was no heartbeat and that it was identical twins. They were to be #4 & 5 for hubby and I and we were devastated. We are lucky to have 3 happy healthy kids but it still hurt a lot. So hoping we may get our rainbow baby this month currently at 4dpo and hating the 2 week wait! Hope to get to know some of you as don't have many people around me who understand, none of families do that's for sure!

Welcome tryingfor#4 but sorry to see you hear. I hope we won't see you here for too long if you're already in the 2ww. Good luck.

CoopersMummy I know how you feel. It sucks having to cancel scans, midwife appointments etc. I had the ohbaby magazine arrive just after mine which set me off again. It just reminds you of what should have been.

Thanks for the welcome. It's hard when things like that hit you again CoopersMummy! One of my best friends is due about a week after I should have been and I only found out after I had been blubbing to her for ages about our loss. Now every time I see her it's a reminder that I should be at that stage. We should have been 20 weeks today and finding out what sex our twins were :(

I'm so sorry for this. The same thing happened to us #4 got to 12 and lthough my baby was alive it wasnt for much longer after that. Ppeople don't understand unless its happened to them themselves. Im sick of people saying its ok your young you'll get pregnant again, like the m/c doesnt matter. When really it matters alot.

Yes I've had that one and No it doesn't make you feel any better.

Hello Beautiful ladies, This is the last forum I wanted to post on (like all of you of course). I was due Nov 14 and yesterday went for a dating scan, not because I wasn't sure of the dates.... After over a year of trying for our first I knew the the dates. I just wanted to hear the heartbeat and get reassurance all was well. It was not all well though, there was no heartbeat and my wee one only reached 8 weeks so died about a week ago. I am now waiting for an appointment with the early preg unit and so hope it is soon, Monday would be best. I have had no bleeding and just want to have it over so we can grieve properly and heal.

Anyone here used progesterone? Just wanting some idea of what to expect.

Hi Ladies! Good to see a few of you all still keeping this forum going (well, not really, I wish we didn't need it... but it's good to see all the virtual love and support getting dished out!)

Poppy, it's great to see that you have a plan in action. I hope it works for you!!! I used progesterone pessaries in my third pregnancy but it was doomed to fail with trisomy 14. They are so messy and yuck, but well worth it if they work! I know NZVeg used them with her current pregnancy (and she's in the third tri now!!!!). As for how they made me feel... it was just a lot like normal preg symptoms when on them (which can be confusing if your in the TWW and using them).

LuckyJade, sorry to hear about your loss. Did you get an apt this week? I've had 4 missed mc and never mc on my own, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask away! Hopefully things get sorted out quickly - it's an awful limbo land to be stuck in.

Nell, how are you getting on? Have you fully recovered from the d&c. I'm anxious to hear about the results of the karyotype test, so make sure to let us know when you find out. I hope you are finding things to distract you and put a smile on your face. Remember that you don't have to pretend that everything is ok though. One mc is tough, but no one should have to go through as much as you have in the last few years :-(

Hi to everyone else!!

Nothing new for me. STILL just waiting for our chance at IVF in July. I've been tracking my cycle since I stopped the pill a few weeks ago and I think I may have OV finally (CD16) but my OPKs never got that dark. Normally I'd have a day of almost dark, a day of totally positive and then totally negative the next day. But I've had three days now of almost positive. Grrrr. I hope it doesn't mean anything sinister.
