Hi ladies - I am reaching out on behalf of a close friend who is in the midst of her fourth MC with no apparent explanation. She has tested positive for the MTHFR gene, but her RE has only given her progesterone suppositories to use, and never recommended baby aspirin, lovenox, etc. She and her husband have otherwise come through all testing with flying colors, so they have no real explanation for their recurrent loss (1 at 10.5 weeks and the other 3 between 4-8 weeks). I know Red has a lot of experience in dealing with clotting factors and recurrent early loss and I wondered if anyone could reach out to her for me. I'd love to put her in touch with my friend so she could offer any advice, etc (my friend is not a member of IAP, so if someone could PM me I can give you my friend's email address to give to Red so they can chat directly, if Red is ok with that). Anything anyone else has to offer would be greatly appreciated as well.

I've tried posting here before but for some reason it wasn't workng. I found out I had a mc 2 weeks ago on Thursday. I'm still recovering. Headaches, bleeding, etc. I was 10 wks. We want to start ttc again. My dr. said I could try after my first cycle. Any idea how long it takes? I'm still bleeding. I thought it would only be a few days after a d&c, but I guess I was wrong. We want another baby so badly and I feel ready to ttc. Especially since it took us 11 months to get pregnant this last time. we have a ds and it took us 10 months to get pg with him.

Mrs. MLCMom yes we are on the same cycle. I I am keeping quiet about ttc because since my m/c hubby stopped trying and wants to let it happen by itself if it's going to happen. I think I mentioned that I was worried that my temps have been above last month's coverline most of this month so I am worried could it be estrogen levels which is a bad sign at my age for someone ttc. I am on CD 17 with no sign of O and I usually O on day 16. Funny this cycle is so messed cause last months was absolutely textbook perfect just no BFP even though I bd'd on the right day.

Ha ha, Caniac...I just realized if I catch the egg this time, I will be on track for a Thanksgiving baby.... :) I'll take it!!

My hubby and I both don't enjoy dancing, so we decided to forego the traditional first dance at our wedding. We had a string quartet play at our ceremony, and had them play 'Happy Together' by the Turtles as our recessional song. Everyone loved it, and now we consider it our song. I think I am 10 or 11 dpo today. Was going to test this morning, but DS got a hold of my cup of FMU and dumped it in the bathroom. LOL. I feel achy and my BBs are sore, so I have a feeling AF is coming, but I am holding onto a little thread of hope. If we don't get a BFP we are taking a 3 month break, which is going to kill me, but I really don't want a Christmas baby. Lots of sticky baby dust to everyone!

Me and hubby danced to just the way you are - Bruno mars. But I would say our song is forever - chris brown :) CD7 for me - although I'm getting to the point where it's hard to tell where one cycle ends and one begins as I'm bleeding pretty much the whole time :( hope all you ladies are well :) xxx

I'm pretty sure I just ovulated this weekend, I had my miscarriage just over 2 weeks ago, I was hoping to try and wait at least two cycles before TTC again but I just don't think I can wait, I so badly wanted to try now, but I know I have to give my body some time to heal

Mrsmlcmom - 8 days ago.
@weber3 sounds like we are on the same rotation. i am finishing up my second cycle since the MC. I logically know that it isn't going to happen this month, but emotionally want a BFP. I keep DH out of all the ttc stuff, because I think it would emotionally drain him. This month was tough because I have been tired due to illness. He thought I was pg because I was sleeping so much, he asked like 3 times 'are you pg?'. I had to tell him no, but I think he thinks I am keeping it a secret for it to be a surprise. Well, support to you, hope you catch that egg, and truth be told bd 2 days before o is perfect timing.

Sarah- I just recently married my long time live in bf on New Year's Eve. We danced to 'At Last' by the late, great Etta James. :) Side note--hubby and I talked it over, and I will officially be trying again this month! After my miscarriage in August, we have decided if I do conceive not to tell anyone until I get past the 10 week mark. So this forum might be my only outlet for crazy preggo lady complaints!

Our song is 'Keeper of the Stars' by Tracey Byrd. I finally got my period on Fri. Horrible cramps and back pressure. Now I hope a baby will come soon!

Hi ladies, I spent over 2 years on here after my last 2 miscarriages until I finally gave up. I just found out today that I am pregnant again. Wish me luck. So scared

We danced to Forever by Chris Brown :) I'm feeling pretty antsy about TTC again too, I had a misscariage 2 weeks ago and I was hoping to wait at least 2 cycles, but I want to start now, I so want my period to come right away. with my first miscarriage I got pregnant after just one cycle.

My DH and I danced to 'You Decorate My Life' by Kenny Rogers. My DH will only slow dance to country music (at least when people are watching). Friday will be 2 weeks since my loss. We pick her up from the crematorium today...that will be sorta weird. We plan on spreading her ashes at my husband's family's ranch and put a memorial plaque by a tree. I recieved a package of 50 OPK's and 20 HPT's from Amazon last night, so I'm ready to get the ttc going. I'm supposed to wait until after one normal period. I'm antsy because I have long cycles (average 40 days)...and I've only had 2 cycles since I concieved DD in August 2009. I'm hoping this 1st one will start soon...I've never, ever been looking forward to AF before!

@MrsMLCMom I feel similar, I have had 2 cycles since my m/c and still my body isn't back to normal. Was so hoping to be pregnant by now, did everything RIGHT last cycle, even had a triphasic chart and still BFN. Then I was so disappointed I started to mourn my m/c all over again and I'm trying to pick myself up again. This month my temp is always over last months cover line and I was worried at 41, will be 42 this month that I'm at the end of my time. Finally I changed thermometers and I am getting normal readings. Dh is not into ttc and drives him crazy when I try so I'm only going to try once about 2 days before my o is expected. Why can't they want to ttc as bad as us after a m/c??? It's like they just turn it off and are ok and we go crazy inside needing to hold our baby and need another one.

I am sorry MrsMLCMom, IT STINKS to feel that way! I can totally relate. How long has it been since your loss? I hope things get back to normal soon! I have my follow-up dr appointment on Friday. I am hoping he says we can start TTC next month! I love that song by the way. It is a classic because it is so nice!

MrsMLCMom - 14 days ago.
Facing the fact today that my body still hasn't returned to normal. Not much I can do about that. Out song is 'At Last' by Etta James, classic.

sarahbeth13 - 14 days ago.
We danced to Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol as our wedding song. It is not a very well known song but we thought it was beautiful. The band learned it for us and they sounded pretty good. Sometimes when I am having a really tough day, it will come on my 'radio' (pandora) at work and it still makes me teary eyed.

Question of the Week - In honor of February...What is your song with your DH, DW, BF, Partner?

sarahbeth13 - 14 days ago.
Wow, it is so quiet in here! When I was on this forum before it was always hopping! I could barely keep up. Hope it isn't a sign that people aren't feeling well! I am doing okay today. Have been feeling really antsy though. Like I want to jump out of my skin. Not sure if it is my hormones coming back into line or if I had too much coffee or something, probably a little bit of both this morning. Anyways, just wanted to say hi and see how everyone is doing. Should we implement the questions of the day again? Not sure if any of you remember redheaded Mama but she would ask a question of the day, something easy and fun 'like what is hanging on the wall above your bed'..perhaps it will need to be a question of the week though since it is so quiet in here, crickets I tell you!

Hi KariMCK - So nice to see you here! I am going to cross my fingers that you don't ever even 'start' TTC and it happens for you very soon! Maybe we can be pregnant together! I was due on November 30 with my first angel and got my BFP this time on that date. I was excited to shift it to a positive memory, SO MUCH FOR THAT! But maybe February will be a good month and I can get a new way for November to be a happy month instead. I am hating this cycle because I can't even TTC. My temps are all over the place anyway, and my CM is stringy, then sticky, then stringy, then wet, then completely gone. I just wish I could O already so I would get AF and then I can start again. It stinks to not even have that 2WW of hope and possibility. Since I am still nursing my cycles have been really long. But I am not pumping during the day anymore so I am hopeful that will get me back on a more normal cycle. Wishing everyone a happy day and loads of beautiful sparkly baby dust to all that want it!! XXXXXX

SARAHBETH - sending you love and thinking of you, my friend. DH and I have been back and forth recently on when to start TTC. I'd like to start now, he's not preventing but not really keen just yet. It's hard, as I've always ached for a November baby like my first loss (was due Nov 12). With Feb coming up, a part of me just wants it to happen and make my wish come true, though I doubt it will. Lots of pregnancies being announced, it's so hard. Looks like some of us are coming back to TTCAL after all. To all the strong ladies of this forum, I commend you. Having spent a long while in here and making some wonderful friends out of it, I know it's not easy to be here month after month. I wish you all nothing but the best. xoxo
