I was the same way with my first loss Bec. Everything upset me, everything was the first time since we lost the baby, I hated going out and seeing pregnant women or women with babies. I felt like my life was over. It put a huge wedge between myself and DH as he wasn't ready for another baby and I felt like he didn't care that we lost it. We actually separated for 6 months back then because I couldn't cope with my feelings and I guess I blamed him. He was just as upset as me it turns out, but was being strong for me. My other losses I was kind of numb I guess. Except the one where I saw the heartbeat slow and stop at my 8 weeks u/s. Then decided to wait to miscarry naturally...took 4 weeks. Really messed with my head carry my dead baby for 4 weeks.
But you will get through this!! I promise it gets easier...massive hugs!!
Yes, it does. And it sometimes helped me to remember that it happens ALL the time to millions of women. Don't feel bad about having your random break-downs.....I still do sometimes, just about my whole situation. I get a lump in my throat when I see a pregnant woman or a baby, so that is pretty much, um, several times daily. I really believe it is healthy to grieve that loss just like you would anyone, because he/she was someone to you, although a tiny little tadpole sized little one. Are you taking a few months off from ttc? That also really helped me, but everyone has different needs, so you may decide its best to jump back in the saddle sooner. And you are right, the men don't understand it as much, and it's not their fault.....when you are early like we were, there is no big belly, no traumatizing still born, and you know, what they can't see and feel is hard for them to identify with, I guess. As long as he is there for you and giving you lots of love and nurturing, he is doing a good job. You'll get your baby soon enough, just take your time to feel good about ttc again and don't be afraid. Look at sweet Jen with her little Charlie....and so many of us.....you'll get there! xoxo
cycle day one, that's NO fun !
cycle day two, i say BOOO !
I'm sorry that you have had to go through so many losses. That must have been so devastating watching the heartbeat stop:( That's what I am most afraid of about TTC again, what if it happens again and I never get another baby? DH was pretty upset and I know that if it happened again he might not want to TTC again at all.
I think about that too, it hasn't just happened to me, lots and lots of women have been through it and actually far worse than me. I have two, healthy little girls and I know there are so many women that would give anything for that. I am lucky. They day we found out about the m/c DH and I both said we wouldn't TTC for a while but we've since talked about it and decided that we want to try again as soon as we can and once we get the ok from my doctor. But we are afraid I guess, just so worried that it will happen again. But DH keeps telling me why worry about something that might not even happen, so I am trying to think positively!
So who's actually left here still? Me, Cinss, PoP, Lola, dloui... anyone I've missed? Yahmama and LBAM were taking a break for a little while I think.
I'm just here temporary...cause I'm getting my BFP in 4 weeks...Cara told me so!! :rofl:
I think I'm hitting menopause....AF lasted 2 days and is completely gone today...not a single sign of her!! WTF is wrong with me??? Since when is a 2 day AF normal? I use a lady cup and when I woke this am it was completely empty and nothing at all today either!! So it lasted 48hrs at the max!! I did spot a little for 3 days prior to it starting but it wasn't even enough to make it to my underwear, only saw it when I wiped or went looking for it.
Maybe it has something to do with the supplements:think:
Before I started all this swaying business my AF was EXTREMELY heavy and lasted a minimum of 7 days, now it is heavy for 1 day and then light for 3 to 4 days and it is done, that is so not my usual, so I am blaming it on the swaying:bigsmile:
Bec - so, so, sorry hun. I too have been there, take care of yourself, big hugs.
cinss - fx Cara is right!!
Pop - fx this is your month!
All is good here, I can't believe Charlie is 6 1/2 weeks already! I noticed something crazy this morning, he was born 1 year to the day from when I joined here! Oh little man pooped gotta go.
Well, I don't think there is anyone who doesn't have that worry when ttc again after a loss. You just have to do exactly as you DH suggested and try not to worry about something you A) don't have any control over, and B) don't have any legit reason to worry yet (in other words, you can worry when you are pg and the doc says, hey, you may want to worry about this). Why mine was so hard was because they were back to back, so I tried not to worry the second time, and when I got to 8 weeks, I felt sort of clear and started thinking, ok, this one is sticking. And then there went the rug out from under me again. But, that doesn't happen often, and I think more women go on to have a healthy pregnancy shortly thereafter barring any known fertility issues with recurrent m/c.
POP, that is peculiar. What supps are you taking?
3P1B, he is so cute! Glad you are still sticking around and cheering us on. I can't believe it has been nearly 7 weeks too.
Didn't Yahmama get a bfp?

POP i feel for you, i remember pretty much the same thing happening to me with my Feb cycle, i had a very abnormally short light AF then i was getting ready to O 16 days later BAM full blown proper AF, i was like WTF happened!!!! So i went back to FF and changed that light AF to spotting and it made my chart look better but ended up being a 47 day cycle !?!?! I dropped URAL from my sway, and had a lovely normal cycle in March.
Bec i went on to concieve DD 3 months after my m/c. And if i never had that m/c i would never have her, worked out for the best in my case, so hard at the time though and there will always be a little tear in my heart, but DD helped mend it and i feel like the luckiest mum in the world to have such a sweet baby girl, i couln't imagine life any other way.
Lola - thanks, we think he's pretty cute too :bigsmile: Of course I'm staying to cheer on, I want to see everyone get a sweet, healthy baby, hopefully little blue ones :)
Cinss - That's how I feel about DD2 & DS, had I not had the m/c's I wouldn't have them and oh how sad my life would be :)
I'm here popping in :)
cycle day one, that's NO fun !
cycle day two, i say BOOO !

Hi girls :)
5DPO today, not much going on still constipated, feeling nausea at night, but I think it is from being run down.
My temps have been the same for the last 3 days and are the lowest they have ever been so not sure what is going on with that:worry:
hi dloui, can we take a look at your chart?
cycle day one, that's NO fun !
cycle day two, i say BOOO !
cycle day three, pinkish pee !
cycle day four, what a bore !
Actually on FF you go to the "sharing" option at the top,then click on "get code", then copy the BBcode, paste it here or in your siggy.
The link you pasted just takes me to FF, to show your chart while on FF - you have to go to the "sharing" option at the top, then click on "get code", then copy the BBcode, paste it here or in your siggy.
How about this one
My]Charting Home Page Not Found - FertilityFriend.com Ovulation Chart
Yep that one worked :) Your chart is looking great, there is more room for your temps to go up higher too, i was worried about that with my last cycle, i was really really high, i really didnt think i could go higher if there was implantation.
dloui, your chart looks great. Hopefully this is it for you!
