ttc after mc July/August 2007 - shiny new thread as the other was full

Hi,

I hope nobody minds me adding a new thread, but the other wouldn't let me reply.

LadyLush - Sorry to hear about your loss . In answer to your question, I thought I was around 11-12 weeks pg, but the scan said the baby was around 8-9 weeks. When I'd had the ERPC, the gynae reg said the uterus was around 14weeks and the baby was still 8-9 weeks.
I'm sure things do get better with time, but things are still pretty raw and new for me. I'm glad things are getting back to normal for you (and hopefully for others too).

Oh Lcy, hi - how are you? Silly question, I know.
Like you said, physically I'm absolutely fine. Even the bleeding is minimal. I do feel as though I'm going a bit potty though - fine one minute, and on the verge of tears for no apparent reason the next minute. I think I need to have a good drink and a cry with dh tonight. We've got about 50 bottles of wine in the cellar so we've have got that covered . I have to remember that ds (16mo) will be expecting a coherent, competent mother in the morning (well, he can live in hope can't he? ), so I shall have go easy on the vino.

We've been told to wait for at least one cycle before ttc. Don't know if we'll wait that long tbh. My dates seem to have been a bit off anyway, so not really worried about that aspect of ttc.

Anyway, back to normailty and the supermarket run. Take care.

Hey Lcy - I am good today, sorry you are here. I had my D&C in March and all I can say is things do get better! It just takes time, there were times when I was distraught and thinking life was never going to get better, but it does.

Dare I say it - I don't even really care now whether I get PG again or not soon. It will happen one day...

Sweetkitty, no there is no need to wait for a period in terms of dating, but when was your mc? And how far along were you? You have to give your body time to recover, and get rid of all the hormones. My advice to anyone is to forget about ttc until after you have had your first period after your mc. Enotionally you will be much better off too.

hi found this thread

have officially started ttc again I know they like you to wait for dates but they usually change your date at a scan anyway as first day of last period is only approx they don't actually know when you ovulate and not everyone has a 28 days cycle do they?

Hi Nh101 - how are you today?

Hi WMMC - sorry to see you on here. I also had a missed miscarriage and had the EPRC 10 days ago (im from the march thread too). I think you recover physically much quicker than emotionally.

Emotionally i am feeling alot better than 10 days ago but still falling apart at least once a day. It is a terrible shock and bereavement (all those hopes and dreams) and i think it is important to let yourself and your DH grieve. You also still have all those pregnancy hormones rushing about which can make you feel a bit crazy.

Things will get better slowly. My midwife told me it was ok to TTC anytime after bleeding from EPRC stopped - but if you want to be sure about dates wait for a period.

My 2 bits of advice

  1. bleeding from EPRC can be haphazard - seems to stop then starts again.
  2. Drink lots of wine

Lcy xx
