TTC After a Loss

Insert Intro Title Here

Hello Ladies!

 Well, I've been lurking for awhile, and decided to finally post my intro to the board... My name is Ashley, I'm 22 and my SO (Nick) is 30. We've been TTC since July 2009. For the first year we TTC naturally before becoming worried that something was wrong... I was 19 and he was 27, we didn't think that at our ages we should be having fertility problems. I do not ovulate regularily, even though my periods are generally regular. We did 3 rounds of Clomid, getting our BFP Decemeber 23, 2011... All was well at our 6 week u/s and my bloodwork all looked good. At my 9 week u/s we discovered the LO had stopped growing at 7 weeks and there was no hb, we had a missed miscarriage. I didn't have a d/c, instead I waited it out and finally naturally miscarried at what would have been my 12 week. Not sure what to classify the m/c as (natural or mm), but reglardless, it's was a heart break for us.

I've since had 2 regular cycles and we are TTCAL, for now doing it naturally, and tracking ovulation. We'll try other fertility treatments in a few months, once we've had more time. I thought this cycle (what would be the 3 cycle since the m/c) was our golden ticket, butthe HPT was negative. Currently I'm 8 days late for AF, but have no other symptoms and HPT are still BFN... Guess it's just a waiting game for AF to decide to show up. (Like I said, AF is generally regular, but that b****h seems to have a mind of her own lately.)

I look forward to meeting you all and getting to know you all, though the circumstances, well, suck.

 - Ash

  • I'm sorry you find yourself here, and I hope your stay is short. Keep in mind that AF isn't technically "late." Anything goes after a loss because your body has just gone through hell. Hope she gets her sh!t together soon. :)
    It was a rough road, but Arlo Daniel was born April 1, 2013—and our second rainbow is due October 12, 2014.

    Lots of testing, all clear with the exception of compound heterozygous for the MTHFR mutation. 

    Cycle 1: Femara, trigger shot, Bravelle added due to slow response = BFN
    Cycle 2: Cancelled due to two cysts =(
    Cycle 3: Femara, Bravelle, trigger shot and IUI = BFP then loss #3
    Cycle 4: Femara, Follistim, trigger shot and IUI = BFP!  EDD: 6/7/14

  • Thanks ladies! I guess I consider AF to be "late" because the first two cycles after the M/C were just like they were before I was PG, end of the month and 28 days. Oh the joys (or lack there of) of TTC(AL)... I hope I don't have to know you ladies for long, and that I get to see you on "the other side"...

    ^This.  All bets are off after a loss, unless you're charting and are certain of an O date.

    I'm sorry for your loss.

  • It's been such a production for you to get to where you are now, but I'm so glad you've found a place to provide comfort and wisdom. It's not an easy road to travel, but at least here you know you're not alone. (((hugs))) I'm so sorry for all you've been through. I hope your stay here provides you with strength and knowledge, as well as comfort and joy, when possible, and that you'll find yourself stepping into a new journey very soon.

  • Welcome to the board. I'm so sorry for your loss.  My cycles are still whacked from my m/c 10 months ago.  Some people have much longer cycles post m/c, but i have found my cycle to be extremely short. I've found that charting temps in combination with OPK's has helped me a great deal.  Hopefully you are able to figure things out.  Best wishes to you.  Take care.
  • Welcome to the board. I am so sorry for your loss. As the other ladies have said, cycles tend to be crazy after a m/c. After this last m/c, my cycles have been 35 days and 24 days. Based on my O date, this cycle will be about 30 days. Charting really does help give you a better picture of what is happening with your body.
