Trying for our rainbow

Hi everyone,

My husband and I lost our 3rd child in June after TTC for 8 months....and this is our first month TTC again. It is so hard to pinpoint ovulation after miscarriage! My bleed was lighter than normal, and shorter so I am not sure if this means anything for this month.....but I am just looking for others who have had the same experience!

Hi... I am very sorry for your loss. I had a MC at 8 weeks in June after 4 years of TTC #2. We were actually scheduled for IVF in July but that got postponed. We started trying right away the first month since I didn't want to wait. AF did showed up (heavier than usual) on July 25th... not sure if I ovulated or not last cycle... This month I think I ovulated on August 9-10. So I am in my 2WW... I think 6dpo. I am really hoping for a positive test this month... I have til November and if I can't get pregnant on my own I will go ahead with IVF.

Hi there, I too am trying for my rainbow baby. I had been pregnant 3 times (and luckily have 3 wonderful boys). We had discussed having another but were not actively trying...needless to say after I got the BFP I was excited. I never had a reason to think anything was wrong, but we decided to wait until 12 weeks to tell people. I had never waited before but something just told me to wait. As the pregnancy continued, I was tired but felt great (all the previous 3 I had been sick as a dog from 4 wks on). I was a little on edge about that but my hcg was great and I thought that maybe this was a girl. I should have known that if I am not throwing up 24/7 ... something is up:). At 10 weeks I started bleeding, went to the ER and ended up in a lot of pain and passed most everything at the hospital. The pain I felt afterwords was indescribable. I knew I should be thankful for my boys, and I am...but it didn't take away the loss. I know the doctors told me that I wasn't at fault... it was just my body's way of telling me something was wrong with the pregnancy...None of this made my loss any less painful. I know having a baby will not replace the one I lost, but I am more than ready to try. I hope you will update us with what happens, and maybe we will both get our rainbow babies:) Keep in touch if you would like. I too, am waiting for my first fovulation, and I am not sure how I will know.

Hii... I know what you mean with that weird feeling that something wasn't quit right. I also thought the lack of symptoms maybe meant I was having a girl this time. And the fact that I was really emotional which I wasn't in my first pregnancy. I think I ovulated this month because I have been charting my BBT. I am hoping AF not to show up tomorrow. But I think unfortunately it will since my temp dropped a bit this morning :(. I hope I am wrong. But at least my plcycle is back on track. I will for sure keep you posted and I am happy to have someone to share it with that is going through the same and understands :).
