Hey guys.
Unfortunately I'm back. I had a miscarriage yesterday. I will get blood results back tomorrow but it's one of those things where I already know and my body knows. Went from severe pain in my boobs and bloating to nothing in only a few hours. I was five weeks and two days, went in yesterday and had an ultrasound to confirm and saw it's little head which makes this even harder.
How long did you need to wait before trying again? My body didn't ovulate on it's own so I don't think I will have my period like most are saying on some other threads.
Thank you all for everything
Re: I'm back. Loss mentioned
I had a loss recently after I got pregnant from a medicated IUI cycle. The sadness comes over me in waves: the fact that we lost this baby, the prospect of being back into fertility treatments, and the anxiety I think I'll feel even greater if I ever am fortunate to get pregnant again. I had to wake up early to go in this morning to the fertility clinic for a blood draw (watching falling HCG), and I'm having a tough time with it.
As for when you can start trying again, it really depends on your situation. Seems like some doctors say wait 2-3 cycles, others say 1. I saw my RE 2 weeks post-d&c, and he cleared me to get back at it right away. Maybe the chances are so low for us on our own, he figured it was super unlikely? Anyway. I would suggest you talk to your RE. Sometimes you need to think one day at a time to get through something like this, and other times it can really help to have a plan, even if there is some certainty in that plan. I hope the RE can help.
I've also found the miscarriage board on TB to be really helpful, FWIW. Although obviously not everyone there has struggled with IF, there is certainly a group of us that have, and everyone is compassionate regardless.
