TTC After M/C
Are you trying to conceive after one or more miscarriages? How long did you (or will you) wait until TTC again?
Who or what has been helpful to you during your difficult time: faith, the support of your partner/friends/families (or did you find them unable to relate?), others who you now found out also m/c'd...

Early Miscarriage - should we try again now or wait?
I'm so sad. I just had a very early miscarriage on Sunday. Even though it was so early, I really miss it. We knew we might have trouble conceiving so this was a "miracle." We are devastated but I'm hopeful we can conceive again and it will be a "sticky" baby this time. I want to try again right away but I'm not sure if I should wait or not. My husband has been so incredible but I know he's hurt too.

Anyone using a fertiliy monitor or fertility supplements?
I am 39 years old and my husband and I were married last September. He is 38 and has no children. Because of my age, we decided to try as soon as possible and instead of using medication like Clomid, I decided to research more natural fertility enhancers and discovered Fertilaid. After a month of use, I became pregnant, but miscarried. I decided to try again and became pregnant within a month-I also used the Clearplan Easy Fertility Monitor, but miscarried at 11 weeks. The doctor found no abnormalties when the tests came back. We are now trying again and we are hopeful that we will have a successful outcome!

Trying not to lose hope but totally frustrated!
My husband and I have been married for 2 and half years,last fall we finally decided to try for our first baby, 3 months later and 4 days before Christmas we found out we were pregnant! I couldnt have been more excited,then 2 days later I miscarried. It took me 3 months to get back to normal and we started trying again. This last cycle I was 10 days late and starting to think I was prego, but of course AF arrived in full force. I dont know whats going on with my body and I feel like something is wrong with me....my mom and husband tell me not to worry, at least I know I can become pregnant but I cant help it and still worry that I wont become pregnant again! It doesnt help that every woman around me announced that they were prego recently with their 2nd baby! Why is this so hard for some people and so easy for others??

TTc after M/C
I have been TTC for over 3 years now. I have had a stillborn and 9 miscarriages. The doctors say they see no reason why I cant get pregnant or carry a child. It seems like I am not supposed to get pregnant. Not sure why or whats going on but I hope to one day have one.
For everyone that has miscarried im sorry. I wish the best for you. I know that its not always common to miscarry more than once but for some reason there are a few of us that just do it time and time again. I am to the point im scared to get pregnant.

It wasn't planned but we still fell in love with our "baby"
Here is my story! My BF (now hubby) and I weren't trying to get pregnant, actually we were preventing using a condom. On one fated night, however, the condom broke and I got pregnant! We were happy though! Everything was going normal, then one day I started bleeding. I had not been to the OB/GYN yet because they would not see me until 10 weeks but I had seen a regular doctor so I knew I was about six weeks. Nevertheless, the bleeding, which started as spotting, became redder and redder and so I went to the ER. Once at the ER I had an ultrasound and even heard my baby's heartbeat. The ER doc said that everything was fine but that he was putting me under "threaten miscarriage" warning and for me to take it as easy as possible. The next night, however, I started to have much heavier bleeding, with mucus and blood clots and I was in extreme pain, so I returned to the ER. There I was told that I had a large drop in hormone level and that I was miscarrying. I proceeded loose the rest of my "products of conception" right there in the hospital! Of course, after hearing my baby's heartbeat and all, I was quite sad. Every morning was painful as I still felt pregnant and really was not any longer. Also, upon getting pregnant, I learned of other women, who are wives of co-workers, family member and others that were also pregnant when I was, so naturally I felt sad that mine ended and I had to watch others continue and move through the same stages where I would have been. Luckily, my now hubby, was very supportive and really excited to try again, probably even more so than I! Although I am excited to try again, I can't help but be scared of another miscarriage. We have officially started to TTC and we are waiting to see if it worked. Learning about how common miscarriages are, has helped get through all this. Many of my friends and family have had them and it seems almost all women I speak to have had one as well! Good luck to all of you!
