Beatles: sorry ... I had a missed miscarriage myself. My doc told me to count first day of bleeding as day one but told me to wait three months, which I didn't listen anyways.
Still trying despite all odds
My deepest feelings to u n dh

@beatles, I am so sorry for your loss. I had a missed miscarriage as well. Our baby stopped growing a little after right weeks and we found out at our ten week appointment. I had a D&C four days later and bled for around two weeks. My cycle started back about 28 days after the D&C, and that is about the standard length of my cycles. Also, my ob told me I could start trying again after my first cycle after the D&C. (You will ovulate before that but she said to not get pregnant until after the first period.)

AFM, I am going to my OB's in the morning to start my blood draws. I know I shouldn't read too much into the sticks but my lines are still pretty light... I am still getting positives on everything, including digital, but I would feel better if they were darker. Hopefully a blood test tomorrow will tell me something!

And CONGRATS on the new BFP!! (-:

beatles, my heart is absolutely breaking for you. I am so very very sorry for your loss. I know there is nothing I can say, I have been in that same position, but please know that I am here if you need anything! :( Big Big Big hugs heading your way along with loads of prayers. To answer your question... all 3 m/c were different. The first one took about 5 weeks to start my next cycle after the bleeding from the m/c stopped, the 2nd one was only 22 days and this last one because my levels didn't get high at all they let me consider the first day of bleeding as CD1. I guess what I am saying is it just depends on your body and hormones. Have your levels dropped completely back to 0 now? Count the first day of your next bleed as CD1... be prepared your cycles may be a bit weird for a couple of months. Keep me posted and again let me know if you need anything at all. Prayers and Hugs.

beatles, so sorry for your loss *hugs*

@beatles- yes, I agree with Christi about the cycles being different. My Pam's symptoms have not been the same since the miscarriage. The strangest thing is that I used to always get sore bbs before AF but I don't anymore. So strange.

AFM, I'm at the lab now waiting for my blood draw. They are checking progesterone and HCG. Will get the results this afternoon.

@beatles, so incredibly sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how much you feel, but I'm praying for a speedy recovery for you.

@while, good luck with your labs! Sticky vibes!

@Beatles: I am sooooooo sorry for your loss!! *HUGS*

@While: FX'd for great lab results and congrats on the BFP!!

@Jgroves: Congrats on the BFP! :) FX'd for you!!

Sorry for anyone else I missed!! Going to have to catch up on my lunch break!!

AFM: I am CD12 today... Negative opk yesterday, but still bd because my opk yesterday did look like it's really close to be positive, but guess it may be another day or two.

Beatles: I was just thinking about you the other day. I am SO sorry you are going through this. I have been through this and it is probably one of the hardest things to experience. I am here if you need an ear!!! Also, after the MC bleed, you should ovulate 1-2 weeks later. I would start using OPKs to see when you ovulate. Most doctors want you to wait at least one regular cycle (MC bleed, Ovulate, and period) before trying again, but I know some people start trying after the MC, before they get a regular period. It all depends on how you are feeling afterwards. My husband and I waited one full cycle, because I had a LOT of bleeding after the D&C.

Beatles: I am keeping you in my prayers.

How are you feeling while?

Bam, jennavee, 1040, acrichton, pbc, Rebecca, kizzy, Blushing, wifey, kot, Christie, how is everyone doing?

Afm, cd7 and I am getting negative OPK's. Never thought I would be so happy but as you all know last cycle was an odd one and I got blazing positives throughout the cycle right? Happy to see that it was really just a fluke...

I decided this cycle to stop some supplements and just go with my regular prenatals, folic acid and vitamin d. I stopped maca, royal jelly and rrl tea. This cycle im doing my usual supplements and added wheatgrass shots (that is also known for lowering fsh levels) and vitex. I am doing a shot of wheatgrass on an empty stomach as suggested and Im also giving it to my girls, it is amazing.

I am likely going to follow up with the retests next cycle or so, waiting to give the wheatgrass and vitex a shot first. Im also setting up a visit with the fertility center but I wont go before January. Hubby wants to go. I am taking it easy until my EDD 1/1/14 and then I will pursue it. For right now, after all that scare (the odd cycle) I am focusing a bit more on me. Im doing acupuncture, cant drink those teas (it takes like Egyptian mummy's butt - not that I ever had that before but it has to be pretty close), doing therapy myself and taking care of myself. regardless of the outcome whether I am able to conceive my rainbow baby or not...

I think my emotional was really out of whack. Working on being strong again.

I started painting the house and we are making progress. I chose an antique red (terracotta, brick style) and I am doing a huge part of the house red. I need red, I need colors. I love white but my house is like a colonial type and white would not bring all the potential out. Dh thinks I lost it but he likes it. He wants eggplant purple in the half bath, as weird as it may sound Im for it...
It is a much needed distraction for me right now...

im temping as well and my temps have been 97.9 since cd2. Steady. I thought there was something wrong with thermometer but I tested at other times and got different temps... BBT is 97.9 pre O and that's fine with me, hey, it does make things easier to interpret.

Im long winded this morning.

I wanted to say that I'm keeping each one of you in my prayers and Im positive we all will get our bfp's one and and they will sticky!

baby dust and sticky vibes everyone
