TTC After a Loss

I'll try this board instead....

Hi ladies. I just had a d&c this past Thursday, my doc said to wait 2 weeks and then DH and I could try again if we felt ready. We are both anxious to start trying again asap. I started posting again on the TTGP board, as that is where I posted when I was originally TTC. Maybe because I'm still super hormonal or sensitive right now, but some of the posts kind of made me sad. I know they were not meant to be hurtful, but I think I may do better posting somewhere where other women can relate to me and my current situation. Thanks for listening and looking forward to getting to know you ladies.

  • I was just going to post a message asking if anyone had gone back and posted onto the Nest TTC after they m/c. 
  • I am so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the board. I agree with Petra; charting is a great way to see what your body is doing. Good luck!

  • I'm so sorry for your loss.  Welcome to the board, I hope you find comfort here, I know I've found it to be a great place for support. 

    I also used to post on TTGP before my m/c, but after I felt like I did not really belong there especially with posts like "I've been trying for 3 months why am I not pregnant, should I go to a RE?"  I still lurk there occasionally, but feel much more at home and much more understood here.

  • I'm sorry for your loss. I remember seeing you on TTGP. I do still lurk and post occasionally there, but the vibe here is much different and much more supportive. I hope it will help you. Best of luck with your TTC journey.

    The general rule to remember about charting is that:

    a) An individual temp reading tells you nothing. Ever.

    b) The only thing a +OPK can tell you is that your body will attempt to O in the next 24-48 hours. It does not mean that you actually will or did O.  

    c) A biphasic temperature trend over several days in each direction can confirm that you indeed O'd, but it can't tell you the 'quality' of the egg.

    d) Several complete charts (3-6 months) can tell you your individual LP length, and that can tell you when AF is due.

    e) Charting temps can't tell you if you are pregnant or not. Ever. Don't try and interpret it to try and guess. Just enter the days temp and leave the page.  

     

    Not sure this is on the newbie blog but it definitively should be. This is excellent advice and even some some like me that has been charting for over 2 years totally needs to be reminded of all these valid points. Especially just enter the data and step away from the chart ;)

  • Welcome, and I'm sorry for your loss.  I think this board is a much better place to be.  There's no one who understands what you're going through like a woman who's either been there herself or is going through it herself.  There's also basically no snarkiness or drama, just wonderful support and fun.  I hope your stay here is brief!

    Yes  Thanks for this Petra - even after charting for months, I needed this reminder today!

    And OP, I'm so sorry for your loss, and I hope this board brings much comfort.
