TTC After a Loss 6 Months+
The truth - not coping. My intro...
Hi all,
I've been lurking around these boards for awhile now...and I want to join in.
About me:
TTC #3 since June 2013. Had a M/C in November 2013 at 10 weeks.
Since then - nothing.
This process doesn't **how do I say this** make me a good person. I alternate between
being sad and angry. 3 of my closest friends all got pregnant around the same time as me - they
have all had their babies ...and I'm not pregnant. They tell me "it'll happen when it's right". I don't really
spend much time with them at the moment.
I've been fairly regular since I was 13 - but now suddenly my period has just vanished. I'm at 42 days...
...nothing(I am not pregnant...this has been confirmed with bloodwork). To say I am frustrated and extremely
unhappy is an understatement. Next cycle I'm taking clomid and doing IUI.
This discussion has been closed.
Re: The truth - not coping. My intro...
Sorry for your loss and I agree with snegde and wicked that you should intro on the main TTCAL board.
I will add this in case you don't intro over there- why on Earth are you jumping to clomid and IUI? Since you went to the doctor for a blood test because your cycle was late, I'm going to make a very good guess that you have not been charting your BBT. Without charting, you have no idea if you even had good timing for the cycles that you have been TTC since your loss in Nov. With charting, you will confirm when you ovulate and then know when you should expect AF and when it would be a good time to test.
It is 100% normal for a healthy couple to take up to a year to get pregnant even with well-timed intercourse (if you are under 35, if over 35 then 6 months before going to the doctor). You are barely at 12 months since you began trying to TTC #3 and that clock re-set when you became pregnant. With a 10 week loss, your should have been benched at least one or more cycles post loss - that means you are really only on your 3rd or 4th cycle TTC?
Actually, looking at your SN, I'm guessing that I know why you are moving to IF treatments without an IF diagnosis. Develop some patience in this. Clomid is a serious drug that requires extensive monitoring. If you are having IUIs done on top of it - you and your H should have had several tests done to make sure that you have no structural issues.
Finally, sex is free, doctor assisted sex is $$$$$. If you do not need IF treatments, do not have IF treatments.
