Try not to worry...O will come...just try to stick it out a bit longer as it may just be a bit later than anticipated. I know this waiting reaaaaallllly sucks! I never thought it would take this long to have our third (caboose). By now, I had anticipated having our LO in our arms well over a year ago. I didn’t know about Vitex until PP AF had finally come 13+ mos later so we lost a lot of ground there. Then we had to postpone TTC a few times due to other conflicts. After this m/c it put us back way further than I ever thought possible. I’ve reached a point where I’ve given up trying to plan the time our LO will come…I have to remind myself that what will be, will be and there’s not a lot I can control other than when we BD. Just want that fast forward button sometimes, though!Quote:

I'm not the most patient person to begin with, and I've always gotten pregnant so easily and had perfect, uncomplicated pregnancies in the past, so this is all new to me. It really makes me think about how frustrating it must be to go through this when ttc your first baby. At least we have our ds's to cuddle and hold and we don't have to wonder whether we'll ever have children....
The spotting has stopped, and now it's just watery, clear ewcm and my cervix is still SHOW so I'm going to keep hope that my body's still gearing up to O sometime soon. I wonder if dtd the other night had a delayed bleeding reaction (24 hours later)? I'll be taking another OPK later today once I've held my pee long enough. I'll let you all know what happens! :fx:
Ditto on the other pregnancies…I just had really bad hyperemesis to deal w/but never had to worry about losing my LO. This m/c has completely changed everything, as far as pregnancies go and I'm so clueless. I'm just trying to go w/the flow but it sucks not knowing what my body is doing or will do and I'm a bit terrified to even get preg again. I know I’ll always be holding my breath (so-to-speak) until my next LO is delivered safely. Sometimes I have a bad day and start feeling so sorry for myself but I see so many others out there who have had so many more struggles than I and like you said, have no LO yet. How do they do it? They must be more scared of not trying than trying and losing another. They are so very strong and I am so very sorry they are going through this! Cuddling my boys really does help but at times, I’m so terrified that it’ll only be them and that we’ll never have a 3rd. I know I have to shake those thoughts, think positively and remain so very thankful for our 2 healthy, sweet boys. There are preg loss boards on other sites but I cannot go there b/c it just brings me down and robs me of engendering positive thoughts. I cannot move on if I cannot remain positive and hopeful. I just can't go there...so I remain here.Quote:

I’ve got a really good feeling about you getting it this time, especially since it’ll be your 1st O. :fingers: for you!!!!!Quote:

I know what you mean about the pregnancy loss boards. I've visited a bunch of them since my m/c (but not posted), and it really does bring you down...especially when you see how many women have recurrent losses. It makes me worry my eggs are too old (I'm 37) and the same thing's going to happen again. I think I need to stop reading those board and focus on a positive outlook for the future.
By the way, sorry for all the other pink swayers that I've been dominating this thread with m/c talk.
I agree that the loss boards on other forums can have mixed blessings - I don't know how I'd have coped after my MC without having that place to go and share, and talking to others to try and offer comfort or suggestions of things that can help them cope made me feel like some small good had come from my loss
however, during my pregnancy those boards overwhelmed me and made me even more of a nervous wreck than I had been - every loss later than I was became another milestone I had to reach before I could relax, I had to leave them then too
I feel like I've gotten the best of both worlds by just hanging out here on Gender Dreaming - I'm getting support from tons of women who've experienced what I've experienced, but all the sad stories are interspersed with happy stories of healthy subsequent pregnancies (like Glittergirl). I agree, rainbow, that I couldn't have gotten through this without all the support from amazing women like you :HH:. It's really nice to know I'm not alone and lots of women have gone through this and have been ok in the end.
Woohoo! Definite progress - my OPK today was a pretty dark line - not positive, but getting way closer. If it weren't for the crazy hormones causing havoc in my body, I'd put money on me getting a +OPK tomorrow. Nothing to do but wait and see...
good luck mocha on + OPK!!
and Freas, I wish swaying was more of a guarantee!
Hi, ladies, mind if I join in here too...?
