Hi ladies.
Long time no see!!!
Welcome to the new ladies. I am sorry that you ended up here, but by now I'm sure you've seen how great this D&C family is!
Some of us have been here longer than we care to remember, but its great to see everyone's stories and we've seen members arrive broken hearted, but eventually have their bundle of joy in their hands!
(Sal who started this on pampers was always such an inspiration to me!!!)
Hopefully we can give you some hope
Someone had a missed mc recently?
My story is similar. Had a missed MC in June 2009 at 9 weeks. Baby was only showing 7weeks when I started bleeding and heavy cramping and went to my gynae that same morning. But I had a feeling before then that something was wrong.
Had my D&C the next day - same day Michael Jackson died. What a way to remember.
We were advised to wait until AF arrived before trying again, mostly to be able to date a pregnancy if we fell pregnant again that cycle. But to wait emotionally as long as we needed. As with many moms here, the second my AF was finished I was ready to try again

It took 5 weeks for AF to arrive, or probably 27 or 28 days from when the major bleeding stopped.
If you are still struggling with pain and heavy bleeding after a few weeks you really need to go see your gynae. You may have an infection, or parts of the conception are not all clear and you'll probably need another D&C.
To all the mommies, hope your LO's are not giving you too much hassle and restless nights. We are trying to move K into her own room now as I am just not getting rest at night and its taking its toll at work. First night last night, and she woke up 4 times between 8pm and 2pm, so eventually brought her into our room again and she slept till 6:30. Will have to persevere I guess. I am determined to get some of 'ME' back asap!!!
All our preggy fairies please keep us updated!!!
Sue & Angi we want to see bump pics please
KLK look at that chart!!! Woot now I'm counting down the days. I know this sounds selfish but Im glad ur charting, cos its been rather boring having no charts to follow.
Esmari boo on AF

How is the breastfeeding?
I only got my AF 2 months ago, Kaylee was 10months old. Thankfully I know that I'm VERY regular, 28 days exactly, and I ovulate around day 14 or 15 based on the pains I get. So my cycle is even better than before I conceived.
I am not on any contraceptive at the moment. Dont really want to go onto anything, but DH is very particular about unprotected s.e.x and doesnt particularly like condoms, so maybe after this cycle I'll go onto a light pill.
The plan was to go off the pill in Jan next year, and just enjoy unprotected sex for a few months, and if nothing's happened by next August (K's 2nd bday) then to try again. But at the moment life is so hectic, I definitely am not ready to be pregnant 4 months from now. I am still on contract work until January, and chances of them making me permanent is very slim as they are restructuring and just retrenched 3 people in our department last month. And I need to lose 20-30kgs first which I am not doing too great on!!!
Kaylee had double pneumonia in August. She spent 12 days in hospital, including on her birthday. Luckily the doc let us take her out for a few hours on her birthday, she just had physio before and after. She had a drip for her antibiotics for her ear infection, and was having physio 2-3x/day which she absolutely hated! She had no appetite and became dehydrated so eventually we had a gastric tube inserted to feed her rehydrate, and she was throwing up a lot after the physio which didnt help matters either. She got a 2nd ear infection while still in hospital, so while we were there we had her grommets done as well which went very well, and we were lucky to have a brilliant ENT doctor do it. She has a bit of a cold now which usually turns into an ear infection too, but touch wood so far so good.
Sorry I'm so MIA. I had 2 crazy weeks of catching up at work and home and this next week will be rough as well, so moomie doesnt get much priority anymore
