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...

trying to concive at 37 after one misscarige
hi i am 37 mother of 2 girls one 8 one 3 i recently had a misscaige back in jan 2011 my due date was sept 15 2011. i was just 7 weeks when i lost our baby im glad i got an ultrasound while the baby was alive at 6 weeks. its been tough at times this baby we lost was supossed to be our last. i sometimes cry and thing did i do something wronge i dont drink or smoke but one time i did take an asprin cause my gums were in such horrible pain due to hormonal changes then again i also had a really bad UTI . i ralize its nobody faualt but you can't help it. my way of moving on was enjoying the life i have now and keeping busy but everytime my period came i would get moody cause it was a reminder i was not pregnant the last time i got pregnant it took us 6 mos which blows my mind away cause we have BD every other day. well here we are trying again im now doing the BBT thing doesnt really help me much since my temp goes up and down depending if we have the fan on or how many blankets we use but over all i have general idea. we are looking forward to getting pregnant again although i know in my heart i will be very scared due to my age im at risk for misscarrige. so i hold on to faith and pray for my blessings while being thankful for the ones i have now.

Is anyone else afraid?
I had two misscarages in 2009 and 2010. In febuary of this year I tried with a new donor and became pregnant on our very first try. The problem with that pregnancy was that there were 3 eggs that became fertilized and did not attach properly. They were all gone by May of this year. I am not on any treatments, this was all natural. We are just doing at home insimination with fresh donor sperm. I am trying again this month, but I am afraid. I keep trying to relax, but it is hard. I wonder if anyone else feels this way.
I am also really hoping for only one or two babies this time. This will be my first child and I am afraid of having far too many babies for a first time mom to handle! It is my turnt for twins on both my mother's and father's side of the family. I just sort of feel too old for too many babies at this point.
Is there anything I can do to help with the fear?

Need Some Advice.
Hello everyone,
I had a miscarriage of a little boy on April 10,2011. I was 11 weeks 3 days pregnant. He had gastroschisis. I had my first period after the miscarriage on May 14 and it was surprisingly normal. I really want to start trying and I am scared that I am not going to be able to get pregnant again. I don't know if I'm ovulating anymore or if I ovulated before my period. Oh and BTW I am just beginning to try BBT charting, this is my first cycle charting. Checking cervical mucus isn't a great indicator with me and I can't afford all those OPK's. What is a good sign I am ovulating?
Can anyone share their experiences with me?

How to deal with a miscarriage?
My husband and I decided to try to have our last child two years ago. We had no luck and a few months ago we decided to just give up. After all we do have three children our youngest is 7. However, in early April I found out I was pregnant, and we were both so excited I took 3 tests to make sure. Quite few of my friends are also pregnant so it seemed just perfect. I decided to wait to tell my other children and friends until I had atleast gone for my first checkup. On May 2 I went in for my first visit and had a sono everything was great baby was about 7wks 3days and had a good heart beat. That same day we took our daughters out for dinner and shared the news they were ecstatic. I shared the news on facebook with friends. On May 10 I began spotting, I was a bit nervous but not too scared I called the dr. who had me come in. She checked and explained that spotting and even cramping was normal. She said everything seemed fine. She sent me for an ultrasound for precaution and it was then I was told the most devastating news I had ever heard. My baby's heart was no longer beating. My baby had past away. Something we wrong one from one Monday till the next. I just had a d/c yesterday. My dr also recommended me to wait a couple of months before we try again. I do want to try again but I'm so scared I don't think I could go through this pain again. As it is I'm having a hard time, being in public. Does the pain ever go away?

NOT GIVING UP after saying goodbye 4 times
My husband and I have been married for 10 yrs this coming September. We are TTC after losing four babies. I lost our first one at 18 wks. in Jan. 04' when my water broke. Our second one at 22 1/2 wks. in Aug. 04' when I started bleeding and went into preterm labor ( placenta aborted ), the third one at 15 wks. in May 05' when my water broke, and our fourth one in Aug. 07' when I started having contractions on the way to the hospital to see if my water had broken....the contractions caused it to break at the hospital after the nurse had just finish telling me it hadn't. We both have made it through with the help of GOD. With him all things are possible and I will continue to believe in him and the promise I know he gave me. STAY STRONG AND NEVER GIVE UP.
