Nikki, make sure you take a pre-natal vitamin daily. Experts recommend to start taking them 2-3 months before you start trying to conceive.

So we have decided we are going to start trying the end of march beginning of April, whenever my period is around that time...so it will give my body just over 2 months to recover from this miscarriage... what kind of things are you guys doing to help prepare your bodies for another pregnancy? Is there anything I should be taking or foods I should be eating to help strengthen my body?

Very disappointed today...wasn't feeling right, so I went to the dr. for a checkup before our 'try' time for this month...I'm still fighting off some major infection so I'm back on antibiotics. I feel like crud, and what's worse is that we're going to miss our window to try this month, due to two weeks of bad meds for babies. I guess it's great that I'm getting treatment, but I'm starting to worry that I can't stay healthy long enough to ttc. :( Hmmph! Stupid kidney infection!

It's been a month since I started bleeding and lost the baby. Still no AF. I hate waiting and not knowing what's going on!!!!!

too focused on this today. Worried about all the responsibilities that come with a #2, looks like I need to BD in the next couple days. I am surprised at how overwhelming this has all been this time around. Baby dust to all!

Boo to AF!! At least by my charting I was prepared and wasn't caught at work on an 8 hour shift without anything.

ThanksAVG and krissieh....that's my goal is to get heathy first, I actually had the flu around the time the baby passed so I am worried that's what caused it...so I'm wanting to try to eat more healthy and hoping to loose 10-15 pounds first

getting more frustrated and confused, my temp went down this morning after a very short and fitful sleep in a cold room so I was expecting AF, still feeling pregnant and no AF yet, took another test still BFN. My cycle is NEVER late and my AF always comes after my temp drops, this just doesn't happen to ME! Feel like quitting. The more I lose hope in another BFP the more I feel it about having a m/c 2 months ago

nikkipearl so sorry you are here :( but there is great support her. i lost my little one at 17 weeks and got preg immediately and lost that little one too at 8 weeks. i am not torn apart like i was losing Cathal. i was devastated when i lost him and so so delighted whe n i got preg so fast. it helped me grieve somehow. i was very sad to have lost the last baby but not devastated which is weird. i've thrown myself into the gym and am going to get as healthy as i can before i try again. i am in a good place about it all. you have to remain positive :) it will happen and all you can do is stay healthy. thats all the control you have over the situation! i wish you the best ttc in the future xxxxxx hope everyone here is feeling well and positive :) <3

Hi girls...I actually just misscaried on Wedsday, I was almost 13 weeks...we know we want one more baby, but I am petrified of going through it all again. This by far was the hardest, and most painful thing I have ever gone through...both physically and emotional...I know I want to try again but how do you guys gets past the anxiety of it happening again...I know it was only 2 days ago and I need to let myself heal but i can't stop thinking about trying again

@fizzy I am sending you a personal message if you want to read it on your profile.

@fizzy yeah me and dh are also from different planets. We don't agree on almost everything. My dh doesn't like to discuss things. He would not talk to me about the m/c, I kind of forced the issue because I needed to talk. We married in 07 and got pregnant immediately. With #2 we got pregnant first try once I weaned my daughter for nights only. This #3 is giving troubles. Now since the m/c he isn't ttc anymore so I'm on my own. He's happy for #3 if it comes but not gonna try. And recently he's not into bd'ing at all so I don't know what I'll do if I am bfn this mounth. (got a BFN this morning, but my temps are still up and triphasic and only on CD 27 so there's still hope)

Thanks amy yeah.. Elena's due date is slowly creeping up.. Making me think alot more.. I would be having her anytime now.. But I know its not going to happen. I miss the feeling of being pregnant. Having a special secret that only some know.. And also being taken care of and pampered.. I just feel let down and unimportant. :(

Oh browniebite it doesnt sound like your having a very good time of it right now :( if I were you I would have a word with dh about is brother and the arrangement you have with him. If he isn't keeping his side of the agreement you have every right to ask him to leave, would warn him of this fact every now and again. I know how you feel about just sweeping the loss under the carpet, I feel the same just now - I'm not sure if it's because my due date should have been soon. Hope your feeling better soon xxx

Ok so I am peeved.. Dh allowed his brother to come live with us, until he could find a stable home. He thinks itll be by summer ..-_- .. So I obliged because its family.. But under condtions that he would save some money, cleans after himself, and doesnt bring anyone over to our house. His brother works one week outta state and stays out there then returns home for a week. This week he is home and party, gambles, and drinks his money away. And last night around 3 am he texts asking if his ex could stay the night, because theyve been drinking and she drove. I was obviously unsettled about this.. 1st she is very good friends with my mother in law. 2 nd I hate having other females in my house 3rd I dont want this to occur even just once in a while. So I went to bed pretty upset.. But I dont feel like using my energy to fight about it. He already knows I felt uncomfortable with it all, also this is our first year in our house and we havent had a break.. My dad stayed with us for a month as his house was being prepared and with my surguries and loss we constantly had people over. Now the rest of our first year will have to put up with him too.. I love dh and love his family I just wish we could get a break, from everyone else. I am starting to miss my townhouse that I had alone. I miss just coming home and relaxing. I really want to start our family, but I am becoming more hesitant because of everything going on. We havednt been able to just hang out and have fun together. We try and do date night once a week, but its not the same. I dont know whats wrong with me.. I feel like I over react sometimes and other times I feel like I am losing interest in the things I use to love doing. I feel like I swept this whole m/c thing under the rug.. Because everyone around ne wants me to move on.. No one at all understands the gravity of what I went through.. Even though our families were right there. I an dreading the thought of a bfp in the future.. Because I know that I will have to endure soooo much more next time with injecions.surgury.meds. And it exhausts me to think of it all. My friend who is just 23 just had her 4th!! Fourthhhhhhh child yesterday.. And I am happy because she loves her kids and takes care of them.. But I am so upset because I feel so incompentent ..just like my cervix. -_-
Well I had to vent.. Thank you

Have any of you ladies experienced light spotting around the time of ovulation? I've had it in the middle of my cycle two in a row now so just curious as to whether it's a sign. Hope your all well xx

Just popping in again ladies...whew, after all the health issues and wedding, I should be ready to ttc this cycle. Fertile time hits next weekend, but dagnabit I am still sooooo tired and worn out right now. Hubby is hoping the kidney infection isn't coming back or something and wants me to get a clean bill of health before we try. It would be the first time we actually 'try' to conceive since I lost our son last August. Fingers crossed that all goes well and all of us are healing and healthy for the coming months!
