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...

TTC After M/C
Dazed and Confused...
I just went thru a m/c with D&C the beginning of May. As of today, it's been 6 wks since my D&C, but still haven't had AF. My doc had said to call him if I didn't get AF by today. So, I did & his nurse said that sometimes it can take up to 10 wks. Ughh! I don't want to wait that long. Just in case, I did take a hpt last night & got a BFN. I took one again this morning & it looked like a BFN to me. But, my husband called me after I talked to the nurse & asked me if I told her that I was pregnant. I made him repeat himself three times. He said the hpt I took this morning had a very faint BFP. OMG! We weren't trying at all & were waiting for at least one cycle per the doc's recommendation. Has anyone else ever experience this?

Ready to Try Again
I had been told since I was 19 that I it would be extremely difficult for me to conceive because I was diagnosed with pcos. This came from, not one doctor, but three. So imagine my surprise and joy when I found out that I was 6 week, 2 days pregnant at 35 years of age. I was afraid to believe at first and then I allowed my self to begin imagining a big belly, birthdays, holidays...I even knew what I was going to name him or her. I was devasted 1 month later when my doctor told me that my baby had no growth and no heartbeat. I feel like a part of me died that day. I got a D&C 2 days later. My bleeding lasted for exactly 2 weeks and I got my period exactly 4 weeks after that. I feel the pain of my loss everday. But now, there is hope when there was no hope. I am a little scared that I could miscarry again but now that I know it is possible to have my dream, I have to try. For all those that are going through what I am going through or something similar, I wish you all the best.

Can anybody help?
I am really hoping someone who has experienced what I am going through can give me some insight. Ok, I am 5 weeks pregnant. Yesterday, I started bleeding. It's not SEVERE, like running down my leg or anything, but it is more than just "spotting." It's almost exactly like a period, and I am having light, "period-like" cramps as well. So, I went to the ER as soon as I saw the blood in the toilet. Here's what I found out at the ER:
--HCG level had not gone down but rather had increased from 700 to 5900 in just 4 days!
--Ultrasound found no masses in my fallopian tubes, so no ectopic pregnancy
--Ultrasound found what they wrote as, "Likely intrauterine pregnancy with early gestational sac, 5 weeks 1 day." (Pregnancy in my uterus)
--Pelvic exam did not report my cervix being open or abnormal.
So, the really only BAD thing going on is the bleeding. I have been ordered to be on bed rest until I see my doctor. My questions to whomever can help is: when you miscarry, what exactly is it like (amount of blood, etc.)? What do the clots look like? (I am seeing little red solid things in my blood, but not sure what a "clot" should look like) How severe should my cramps/pain be if I am miscarrying? Is it possible that this is normal pregnancy bleeding?
Anything is helpful! Thank you and luck to you!

TTC or Not after a recent miscarriage
I just had a miscarriage a little over a week ago at 12 wks pregnant. I am still very devastated over the loss. I have two sons 11 and 3 and was hoping for a daughter this time around. The doctor told us today that the miscarriage is complete and if we are going to ttc again then I need to start taking my vitamins again but to wait a couple of months to give my body ample time to heal and the uterus to build back up. I'm SO afraid to try again for it to end the same way, but I really want to have another baby.

What is wrong? TTC after miscarriage.
I was told that a miscarriage can be a sign of hope that you can actually get pregnant, but it still doesn't make me feel any better knowing that I lost a baby. My husband and I have a beautiful 1 year old boy that we conceived two weeks after trying and are now TTC again. He deploys in a year and we want him to be here for the birth, but that may bot happen now. I went off the pill January 22...2 weeks later I was pregnant.. 7 weeks 2 days later m/c, ttc immediately after bleeding stopped but started my period April 19th. Doing OPK's now and it's never positive, it's so frustrating and heartbreaking. 7 of my friends are pregnant now, and I am SO happy they don't have to go through what we are going through, but it's hard to not have anyone understand or to have answers/ways to fix things.

Not really trying, but wondering it if happened this month?!
I had an D/C on December 23rd, 2008 for a missed miscarriage, at 11 weeks, then I had severe complications and ended up in the trauma room and back in surgery on the 26th of December. They told me it could be very difficult for me to conceive but I wouldn't know for sure until I tried. Truthfully I haven't been "trying" very hard b/c I don't want to be let down, and I'm terrified of something happening, but I really do want to be a mommy. So I haven't been not trying either, I figure if it happens it happens. Anyways, my LMP was on april 3rd, and I'm expecting to get it again on May 3rd, however for the past two days i've been running to the bathroom constantly b/c i have to pee so bad, and my boobs are pretty sensitive its like I just cant get my bra in a comfortable place, its driving me nuts, so I'm wondering if it happened this month, wondering whether or not AF is coming is driving me crazy!
