TTC after a Miscarriage - Keep Trying!!!!

[Diddle]

Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

.,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'- .,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',.

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

Stil no sign of AF this morning,i'm wondering whether my body is playing tricks on me or not!!?
Was def due an AF by now?I wonder if my body is just trying to adjust after my loss?maybe i haven't had a proper AF yet?But it seemed at the time like it was it lasted 5 days which is usual,it started on the 3rd of july,and according to the charts on FF,it should now be due?
Had 2 BFN's so i can't be preg!So just want AF so that i can get on!!!
Any signs of yours yet c.p?.x

My AF has finally arrived and is here in force straight away. How are you doing maddyd?

Hi shelly24

No AF yet (due yesterday) and no sign.Decided to leave it now until end of week. Constant testing is no good for soul as had several bfns last week

so if not pg then af will arrive

and if pg hcg levels could be too low to detect hence bfns so leaving till af 5 days late to test again (but no doubt she will show her face by then.....)

resigned to af arriving anyway now.

Hello everyone,
Went to WOMAD ( world music festival ) this weekend past. DS had a fantastic time, his first festival and camping experience, we all had a ball. Thankfully it didnt rain too much.

Well AF seems to have come and gone( just in time for a weekend camping with no washing facilities ,) I have acupuncture tomorow night,
so will be going back on my health kick this month.

Maddyd... what an emotional rollercoaster we are all on. Didnt something like this happen last month.?
Hope you are feeling better today, it is hard to stay positive isnt it?
Right am off to make some Green tea.

munz - 25/27 days isn't short. I'm currently getting 21/22 days most of the time. And LP of about 8 days. And GP says there's "obviously" nothing wrong because I have managed to have ds (although that was back in the days when my cycle was more like 24/26 days). Looks like I'm going to have to save up and see someone privately - though I've no idea if that's even possible if your GP refuses to refer you.

CP - I'd say you were just very, very lucky to get a +ve at the first attempt twice - they reckon about a 20-25% chance each month, so don't worry that it takes an extra month or so.

((((maddyd))) feel so sad for you. I can totally empathise over already having children. I have 2, and am wondering if I'm just pushing my luck wanting a third. But...... I can't deny that ache inside, that little part of me that always wanted another, and just can't let this go, not yet.

I'm feeling very tired and run down. Need to get my diet sorted and start eating a bit healthier see if it sorts my cycle out a bit. Anyone got any top tips for things I should be eating to improve my chances?

Evening all. Hope you all ok. So sorry about your af Xena. How are you feeling.

Cori did you enjoy Womad. i couldnt get to Mothercare cos of all the traffic in Caversham. Im not feeling to bad emotionally today. Thers no oint in letting this get me down, its not fair on the rest of the family. Yes i had similar probs last month. It serves me righjt for using those early tests. I advised others not to use them but when it came down to it i couldnt wait myself.

Nic, good eating pan is a great idea. I gave up wheat and caffine a few months ago and i try and drink two litres of water a day. Its made a great difference and i feel great, apart from this week with my stomach.

Munz Hang on for me girl, one day ill manage to get properply preggers.

Love to Cp and Shelly, theres still hope for you two this month yes???? xxxxxxxxxxxx

Im off to look for a theatre break now in London. My other half is going to treat me over my next ovulating weekend. We desperatley need a break!!!!!! So thought we would do the London eye etc

hello to you all.

To all of you with children who are feeling guilty about being upset about wanting another. You are very blessed to have the children that you do, but there is nothing selfish about wanting another. I personally don't think this situation is any easier for you guys than it is for me with no children. The heartache and the longing are still the same. So don't feel selfish, you're just normal, maternal women.

Xena - Sorry to hear AF has arrived, i'm know you said you weren't trying anymore, but i bet you were a little dissapointed that she showed her face.

For those of you still waiting, there is still hope until AF turns up. But remember to not get your hopes up too much, it could go either way. Mine was 1 week late, maybe AF is just having a delay she seems to be behind on her schedule with all of us this month. Perhaps she's teaching us a lesson, trying to teach us that we shouldn't be so stressed about it all.

Maddyd - So sorry you're going through all this again, any firm news yet? will you test tomorrow, just to check? maybe you should visit the gp, could still be pg and having a bleed, quite possible. , thinking of you.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

diddle

Evening mads.x,really nice to hear from you.x
Glad your feeling better too.x
Am not sure about this month to be honest,like you,have used those early preg tests and all i've got is bfn's...and it just makes me worse everytme!
Have resigned myself to thinking shes on her way....just taking her time about it!
I have only had one AF since my loss,so shouldn't hope for too much!
Your weekend to london sounds really great,a perfect chance to relax,just the two of you.x
Its mad really,we only live half an hour away from central london,and we hardly ever go into town!!Last time was an overnight stay and we went to see 'chicago'(that doesn't look right??have i spelt it wrong??),it was a fantastic time,so i really recommend it mads!.x
Haven't even been on the london eye yet!!,and thats been there for years!!

Hiya Diddle. The amount of blood ive lost i really dont think theres any hope, and its not just that its the stomache aswell. Even my dp said i looked rough and i always look rough i thought

Think we will do 'We will Rock you' Too many hotels to choose from though??? Any Suggestions anyone

depends what theatre your going to,your right,there are loads!!!There will be good suggestions on the net,and pos dicounts if you book overnight stay with the theatre trip?Have alittle look around?.x

Nic,
there is lots you can do in regards to healthy eating to improve chances of fertility. It mostly centred around eating a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, cutting out processed foods etc. I am going to start another thread about healthy eating for conception, to run alongside this one. I think we need a place where we can share tips and support each other on healthy eating regime, (in a similar vain to the Big Slim threads but for a different purpose.

Thsi is going to sound REALLY snobby,but believe me we're not!!
We stayed in the 'manderine oriental'opposite harrods when we went!!(was VERY posh,but we know people who work there... ,got a sneaky discount......)
DH proposed to me that night when we went for a meal before the show(aaah,my little romantic!)We ordered our desserts and the waiter bought out the ring in a box,with a single rose on his tray,DH took it and did the 'on one knee' thing infront of everyone!it was magical!Ah...soz for waffling...has brought back lovely memories.x.x

lovely idea cori!!.x

Ahh how lovely Shelly. Im looking at the Grosvenor at the mo on Park lane.

Oh wow Shelly just looking at the manderine. I want to go there, it looks gorgeous

Its really nice isn't it!!?Def worth a trip i reckon!!Let us know what you decide,am off to spend some quality time with DH as hes just come in from work.xcatch up with you 2morrow.x.x

Yes Maddyd still no AF (and for Shelly24 too)

But think mines on way.....

May baby now being planned!

Nic - I have a copy of a food and fertility article from a recent copy of YAWYE magazine. If you want me to e-mail you a copy then just CAT me with your e-mail address. Same applies to anyone else who wants a copy.

Lunarsea - have you tried vit B6 supplements? I've heard that these are a natural way to try and increase your luteal phase a little and help the chances of implantation.

Yep, done B6. And Agnus Castus. And both together.

tabs - have cat'ed you, can i take b6 with pregnacare, or don't i need to take any extra if its has it in it?

Just worked out.I have been on Pregnacare for 3 years now!!

Evening all,
Well, I'm back from my few days at the south coast and had a lovely time.
Didn't know where you'd all got to, then found you'd started a new thread while I'd been away!

Hope everyone's well and will catch up with you all tomorrow.

Sorry LS - figured you had probably given it a go.

Diddle - not sure on dosage of vit B6, but I'd guess there's prob enough in pregnacare, especially if you don't have prob with short luteal phase. Have sent you the article.

ChocolatePeanut - I beat you! Been on folic acid or pregnacare for 4.5yrs now! All be worth it in the end though.

Thanks Tabs - got it this morning DH wondered who was sending me a huge email he'll have a shock when i start pumping veg into him.

Morning all, hope you've all had a good evening.
