TTC after a miscarriage - springy BFPs for festive beanies

Welcome Boobynog, Cece & Chickenrice. I'm sorry for all your losses.

Everyone on here is very friendly. A few are on holiday and a lot have graduated! :)

Cece it sounds like you're in for a busy month.

Hi to the new people, and to those who were here before and remember me, hello again. I am back from my skiing holiday, which was fab. Except for my DH injuring his thumb, luckily is not broken but is a ligament injury, he has to wear a hand brace for a few weeks. He reckons it was worth it for the lovely time we had though.

Bobbynog, I know exactly how you feel, I am ttc after two m/c's and it is very difficult when you both want to see that BFP, but also dread all the anxiety that it will bring to both you and your DH as you wait every day to see if it will go wrong again...

A dear friend of mine came around with her one-year old baby yesterday, she was the result of a third try after one m/c and one termination for Down syndrome. She encouraged me to keep my spirits up and keep trying for all we are worth, and I will!

Hello everyone - can i join? I had an erpc after my 12 week scan - the baby died around 6 weeks. I have changed my name to mark my fresh start, and to stop my friends peeking at what i am saying!
I have had my first period, and feel ready to ttc, dh is up for it as well, but am i am so scared of it going wrong again. I am sure you all feel the same way.
Just wanted to add my name to the list, and wish everyone loads of luck!

Yes - and we are probably going to be moving house the same week - providing we exchange and complete on time . The party is booked for end of month though so not panicing yet!

Wow - Big party next week then?!

DD 5 next week

DS 2 and half next week

DH says 2 is enough but I have wanted a third since the day I came home from hospital with DS!

How old is your DD/DS? My DD is four (and really wants a brother!)

Well good luck!
Not sure if and when we will TTC. I know I want too but not sure about DH. We weren't TTC when I got pg this time so I am hoping he will agree, as now I really want another!

Hi Cece,
Sorry I didn't get back to you last night, I had an early night. I too was 10 weeks at the time of ERPC, I had an early scan at 6 weeks and everything was fine, but I had some discharge (a bit like waters breaking) at 8 weeks and think that is when the baby died.
The advice leaflet I got from the hospital didn't say anything about how long to wait before TTC, but the consultant said we could TTC as soon as we like.
I think some doctors advise waiting until your periods are reastablished as it makes dating easier, but from what I can tell (from mumsnet and from google), your chance of another miscarriage is not any higher if you get pregnant soon after a miscarriage, and indeed, some people say you are more fertile soon after a miscarriage. However, I think some people need to have time to greave before they TTC, but everybody is different, and I want to TTC ASAP.

MumtoLaura, sorry to hear of your loss too. How many weeks were you? I was 10 weeks at time of ERPC but the baby died 2 weeks prior to this but only was measuring 6 weeks.

Sorry that was addressed to mumtolaura

TTC!

Wow the doc told us to wait at least two months! Wonder why my hospital gives such different advice? It was the general advice leaflet they give to everyone so not specific to me!

Hi Cece, So sorry for your loss,
I had an ERPC on the 27th March, and have had a similar amount of bleeding as yourself. The consulant told me I could have sex as soon as I wanted. So I left it two weeks and am now TTC .

Hi Chickenrice - welcome.
I find this thread useful for support from people who've all been through a similar experience.

Hello can I join in as I have a question which I thougth someone on here might be able to answer?

I had a ERPC 11 days ago. I had no bleeding apart from a small amount on day 5 and then a very small bit this weekend. How soon can me and DH have sex? The info leaflet they gave me says 3 weeks but it also said I should bleed for 10 days!

Thanks

Hi all.

Can I join?

I miscarried in September last year. Periods are still not right but I need to start TTC. How does this thread work?

FirstNikki, I completely understand what you mean. I really hope that:-
a/ you get a better job than the one you are currently in with better pay/perks/colleagues/maternity benefits(!)
b/ once having achieved this and worked the pre-requisite amount of time you effortlessly fall pregnant
c/ you completely forget about ttc until that time and you enjoy the spring and summer without being mad stressed and broody.

Take care sweetie. xxx

We'll miss you Nikki. :(
You make sure you do come back.

p.s smole also fingers crossed af stays away

Afternoon All

Ruthlouise will be thinking of you and your family tomorrow {{{hugs}}}

Piffle fingers crossed and hope 2ww flies by.

Now I have been giving this all some thought and I am going to take a break from this thread. As I won't be ttc'g for a while I would rather take a break because its a reminder that I can't try for sometime and I am finding it upsetting, I am even getting upset as I write. I will pop in from time to time but not as regular.

I wish you all bfp's in the very near future and wish you all healthy pgs when that happens.

Best of luck and thank you all for your support and friendship its been very valuable through my highs and lows. xxxxxx LOVE FN
