Hi ladies, my name is Erin and I am new to this board. I had my very first miscarraige in January. I went to the Dr for a routine ultrasound at 16 weeks 6 days. We were also supposed to find out the sex of our baby. But, there was no heartbeat and I had to go directly to the hospital where I was admitted and my induction began. It took 40 hours from the time I arrived until I finally delivered my baby. They couldn't tell the gender but the baby did have an omphalacle ( intestines outside the body). I was exactly 17 weeks at delivery. We named our baby Ashton and had a funeral service. The birth was on January 18th and I am doing worlds better now because I serve an awesome God who has given me "peace that passes understanding." (phillipians 4:7) In addition to our angel baby, my DH of 6 years and I also have a 3.5 year old son named Miles, and a 21 month old son named Sawyer.
We are ready to ttc again, I am at the end of my first period since my miscarraige. I have heard that women can be extra fertile after a miscarriage??? (Assuming everything else is normal and there isn't a history of fertility problems.) I have never had any problems getting pregnant and have never had any reason to believe that i would have a second trimester miscarraige. I didn't see my baby, wish I would have, but i did see pictures of "her" precious fingers and toes and little face.
Anyway, just wondering if any of you had any TTC after miscarraige tips or if you would mind sharing your own experiance with ttc after your own miscarraige? I hope we can get pregnant ASAP.
Thanks ladies, Erin

First of all i would like to tell you I am so sorry for your loss! but your child is in heaven and just throwing this out there but I read the book unforgotten children and it was amazing and made me feel better about the situation...I just wanted to send a reply to you...I also had a miscarriage in January (1/3/2012) and we waited one normal cycle to try again... well i just got my BFP last night so I agree that it happens rather quick after that bad experience... i was able to get pregnant fast the first time but thought after this it would be harder and it wasnt at all and I even got my BFP 9dpo which was super early bc last time I didnt get one until I was "late" so as far as advice I would say something we tried was keeping my legs and hips up afterwards for about 10 mins... DH thought it was a little weird at first but the fact I got pregnant both times after him and I are pretty sure it works! Best of luck to you and Hope to see you in the Nov. DDC!

It's been almost 4 years since my m/c. I lost my baby at 6 1/2 weeks. We didn't know the gender (obviously) but I had a dream that it was a boy. We named him Brady. I had never had any trouble getting pregnant with my first ( who was conceived and born in 2006), but I had trouble afterward. 3 months after my m/c (we started TTC as soon as possible after we lost Brady) I stopped ovulating. I was put on Metformin for PCOS. It didn't help. I was then put on 2.5 mg Femara with the Metformin. It didn't help, so my doc upped my dose to 5 mg. That did the trick. Not only did I ovulate, but I got pregnant that cycle. My younger daughter is now 2 1/2. We are TTC our 3rd and final little miracle...and I'm having trouble again. I'm on my second cycle of Femara.
Anyway. My only advice is take your time. Don't rush things. If you're ready, you're ready, but you and your hubby/fiance/boyfriend are the only ones who should make that decision. My hubby's family was VERY unsupportive. I'm dreading them finding out we're TTC again. Communication with your partner is crucial right now. Hubby bottled up his feelings cause he thought he needed to to be strong for me. I wanted him to show emotion and he didn't. That caused some issues in our marriage that we just recently started working on. They are harder to work through now than they would have been 4 years ago when it happened. I also had some spiritual work to do. When I m/c'ed I was SOOOO angry at God. That too, took a lot out of me. I finally found that taking it easy on myself and finding something to occupy my mind helped a lot!
I noticed emlong recommended a book. I didn't read that one, but Waiting with Gabriel is also a PHENOMENAL read. I highly recommend it...but it's a REAL tearjerker!
Wishing you the best. I hope we ALL get to join the November DDC!
