    I'm sorry for your loss. It can take a healthy couple up to a year to concieve. If you are past that point consider talking to your ObGyn about a referral to a Reproductive Endocrinologist.

    It can definitely take a few cycles after a loss for your body to be ready again. Try not to be discouraged. Are you temping and charting?

    I am so sorry about your bfn and your loss. TTC is really hard in general but can be especially difficult around the holidays.

    Charting always but i havent started temping. I dont even know where to start. Can you use a regular thermometer or do you need a special one?

    I am so sorry for your loss. In Sep, I had a CP it was heart breaking. We took a month off and are back at it but I am not doing the things I was doing like temping and charting, which probably isn't smart but I still have this "fear" of getting myself too worked up and DH asked me to just "go with the flow" for a few months so I don't get too wrapped around the axles with TTC. Just keep in mind that it can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant. I know its hard, but don't let this loss get to you too badly. Also, you have really good advice here, I just wanted to share my whatever with you and tell you to not lose hope. (HUGS)

    So sorry for your loss. I think PP's pretty much covered advice. I hope that your stay here is short and that you're able to get some answers. Good luck!

    Since you have been trying almost a year, it would be appropriate to ask for a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist. (While OBs mean well, they dont provide proper infertility treatment). But while you wait for an appointment, read a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility, visit Fertilityfriend.com and start charting your temps. Good luck.
    For most insurance companies the year starts over if you've been pregnant, even if it ends in loss. If there are repeat losses it changes, but for just one loss it usually starts over.

    I'm so sorry you feel so frustrated disappointed. I definitely can identify. We also had a CP in October and it was very disheartening. PP's have given excellent suggestions for temping, especially making sure you keep it consistent (same time, vaginal > mouth, Mabis). I would try to stay away from making deadlines for yourself, unless it's the one year mark, which you are getting close to. Hang in there and my thoughts are with you!

    Oh? Not for mine. My RE and insurance treated me for infertility after a year with no *successful* pregnancies
    My TTC History:
    2009: missed miscarriage #1 at 9 weeks (trisomy 16)
    2010: Infertility
    2011: Diagnosis and treatment (low sperm count, anastrozole for DH, clomid for me + IUI)
    2012: Baby #1
    2014: Baby #2
    October 2015: missed miscarriage #2 at 11 weeks (trisomy 22)
    March 2016 BFP#5, due November 2016.

    I'm so sorry for your loss.  Be kind to yourself and take care of yourself as you move forward.  Lots of great advice from PPs.
