Hi Ladies, im the same. I should hopefully be starting ttc mid sept. I lost my baby boy at 19+4 so with it being a late loss, we decided to wait for my blood results and for his post mortem to be done (it was a hard decision to make, but this was my 1st pregnancy and we needed to know) I finally (after over 7 weeks of loosing him) have been given a date to see the consultant about the results! (the waiting in limbo has been driving me crazy!) So providing everything is ok with me (fingers crossed) we will be ttc again. Its such a horrible experience to go through but the need for a take home baby is overwhelming, as im sure it is with all of us. Its made me want to become a mother even more! Sending a ((((((((BIG HUG))))))) and lots of
to us all! Love Mel xxx28/8/08 11:14
Would just like to chuck some




your way, good luck girls, it's a rocky road, with plenty of tears, but the tears of pain will turn to tears of joy.Hope your stay here will be as supportive and helpful as mine was, the girls here are fantastic, but I am taking quite a few of them with me, just waiting for a couple of them to pull their socks up and we are moving on.
Wishing you lots of luck!

Hey, was also at hospital the other day but this time was told by doc to wait 1 af to let my body get back to normal. So re-visited my gp who clarified that that's not for my benefit but theirs. So bleeding stopped and we've started ttc but with the advice of don't focus too much- I don't know how that's possible?! Good luck to eveyrone x

Hi, I went back to doctors yesterday for my 10 day check up (to make sure everything was clear) Had internal scan which showed nearly everything had gone, wants me to go back in another 10 days & will scan again. I asked him about this 3 months wait, well 1st my OH said we don't want to wait too long as I'm getting on a bit (cheek) I'm 37, doctor said the 3 months is so that you are mentally ready as conceiving too soon can interfere with the grieving process. I said I felt emotionally & mentally ready & he said well if you're like that then there's no reason to start straight away, there's no medical reason for us not to try. Anyhow just thought I'd share this with those that may be in the same situation

Sorry to hear of your losses. You have come to the right place. There are may ppl on here that can offer help and support. There is no real guide on trying again u hear all dif stories, straight away, after first af, after 3 months etc. It doesn't matter the only time they say to def not do straight away is if u have had a number of mc's cos u should give your body chance to recover but apparently its your most fertile time....good luck

Hi girls, my heart goes out to you all. I too got told to wait til after first af, purely for dating purposes, but my periods are irregular so thay said it doesn't really matter in my case as they struggle to date me anyway. I stopped bleeding after about a week, then a few days later I had my scan, did a pg test to make sure it was negative and then ttc after that. Ovulation occured last weekend, so af due sat 30th Aug, that will be first one since mc, I too am praying this works as it's the only thing keeping me going. When I mc, I had a little teddy with his personalised jumper(bean july 200
and an angel embroidered on the front and he lives in our bedroom. It was my way of dealing with it and of course we have something, albeit not what we wanted, but something to treasure from this hideous experience. I've been cuddling the bear at night in the hope we get our sticky sprout confirmed next week, good luck to you all and take care xxxxxx22/8/08 12:18
Hi sorry first time on this. Have just had a terrible time aswell and am in the same boat of waiting on bleeding to stop so that I can start again. Have read everything from 1 month to 6 on here and it seems everyone's just as confused but I went to gp on monday who was surprisingly helpful, having been through it herself. She advised that as long as I felt ready - there was no waiting time (except for bleeding), she said the 1 month wait was purely for a doctors benefit to date and that gynae had referred to the 3 month wait as nonsense. So I'm taking her word for it, not to sound cold hearted or harsh but I just want to move on now. I hope this helps you x

I hun, I aso lost mine on Sunday so am in the same position, the bleeding has now just about stopped, got to go back to doctors/hospital next wednesday for an internal scan to make sure everything is clean. Doctor did say to wait 3 months but I want to start straight away.

Sending you loads of hugs, its a horrible horrible time isnt it. How far along were you? I mc last mth when I was 6/7wks. We only knew for 1wk that I was pg but its surprising how many things you plan in a wk. My bleeding lasted about 4 days and was pretty heavy. Weve waited until I had a normal af and are ttc now starting this wk. I hope yr okay hun, its a horrible shock isnt it. were all here if you need to talkxxxx

hi ladies,i had a MC sunday just gone.may sound soon for some to ttc but for me its what i want and know it will help me deal with my loss as the baby we lost was so wanted and we conceived the first nite of trying.
i hope to get to meet u all and hope my stay here wont be to long.just a waiting game at the moment as we cant try until i have stopped bleeding.just want to take away some of the heartache im feeling at the moment.












Hi there - same boat for me.
I had a marathon bleed of 38 days and stopped 15 days ago. No pos opk yet so no idea where I am.
Its a hellish time during the bleed and very frustrating to have to wait. I do believe that only another bean will help - so heres hoping we all get some good luck coming our way.
