TTC After a Loss

send me patience dd mentioned

Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry that we all have to be here! Hopefully your stay is short! I've been around here since April 2012 and once before in 2009.
My history. It took us about a year to get pg with dd1. She was conceived after a suspected ectopic. Fast forward to August 2011 when we started trying for 2. Had a missed m/c in April 2012 at 9 weeks and subsequent d and c. Now I'm just beginning my 6th cycle ttcal. I have short cycles. We have been doing OPK's and had good timing. I did have one episode of gushing blood during period 3 post d and c. LP seems on the short side 9 to 11 days, but nothing significant.
So...i'm just wondering if you think i should head back to my OBGYN or hold out! I can't decide whether I'm being impatient or being naive.
Thanks for reading!

Edit. I'm 32, dh is 34.
BFP #4 11/21/12 - EDD 8/2/12 BFP#3 Missed m/c 9 wk 3 days. D & c 4/27/12. :( BFP #2 8/10/09 - DD Born April 2010 BFP #1 Suspected Ectopic 4/09 - Methotrexate

  • It can take a healthy couple up to a year to conceive. Have you considered charting? It's a great way to track your cycles and the temp shift can confirm that you're actually ovulating. I'd sugget trying it for a few months and if you want to consult with an RE after that (or you OB) you can bring in your charts for them to review also.

    Good luck and I'm sorry for your losses.

    With you being under 35, your doctor is going to tell you that it can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant and your year started over with your loss.

    With that being said, if you have several months of charted shorter LPs, it couldn't hurt to bring it up with your doctor.

    All of this. Also, patience is the last thing any of us have when TTCAL. It is likely going to be the most challenging time in your life. ((HUGS))
