Anyone else trying for a 2014 baby?

aanaa - so sorry for what you have gone through Big hugs to you and please take the time to heal emotionally. it is alot to process. THe line you saw could very well have been because of the miscarriage and that there was still some HCG present in your body. After my ectopic pregnancy, i still had HCG levels for 3 - 4 weeks after the process. Had to keep going for blood tests to make sure it reached under 10.

Again, sorry for your loss...

Hi Aanaa,

Sorry to hear about the roller coaster ride. Sjoe, as if you haven't been through enough. I can understand that you feel as if someone is playing a cruel joke on you, the feelings of not being in control of your body was very scary for me as well. At times it all feels like some crazy joke, but I was luckily lovingly reminded that God cried with me too and He wasn't laughing at all. I hope you have all the loving support around you that you need. One really needs to take the time to cry and be angry (even at God if you need too) and get all the emotions out. Talk as much as you can about it and get everything "out". There is another section here www.moomie.co.za/forum/47-miscarriage-stillborn-and-loss on Moomie where you can post if you feel like talking to other ladies who have been through the same. Please be gentle on yourself and just let your emotions be. Big cyber hugs to you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. xx

oh yeah , he indeed was playing a joke on me ... AF has started but he wanted me to test 1st , get a little happy and then send AF .... used to his ways now ... and happy tht I did not tell hubby ! line would have been the evap line or from my last pregnancy I guess , coz its still there .... anyway ... better than losing a baby mid way I guess !!

Hey Gloei

Thanks so much for ur reply .... means a lot to me !

yes I am trying to moderate my diet but no medication has been given

I completely gave up the diet after the miscarriage and ate everything that I should not , probably to take revenge on myself I guess ! was deliberate, I know that for sure, cos when it comes to it I have a lot of self control and am not a foodie at all . so sugar levels this time are higher than before

So I did test this morning , coz the nausea was slowly starting to increase , gums are bleeding today too and feeling uncomfortable in the lower abdomen

Can't say whether I was disappointed or relieved to not get a second line . but in a few mins time , coz the symptoms were so much like my last pregnancy I checked it again ( probably just after the 5 mins time though ) and there was a faintest of a faint line !! cannot say whether it was actually a line , or a evaporation line or just my mind playing games with me . The third possibility seems a little weird as I have seen it 10 times by now and it was always there !
Am not sure if it is from the last pregnancy coz I complete exactly 4 weeks of the MC today ....started bleeding on the 20th of the last month ... though these symptoms had completely gone after 2-3 days of MC but I had never really tested on an HPT to be sure there was no HCG left in my system .

And if it is indeed a BFP , I am freaking out on , God forbid , if the repeat happens of the last pregnancy how will Hubby and I handle it ..... can't take more really !!
Hubby is out of station and only coming back next week . am too scared to break the news to him . I don't want him to get excited ..... he loves kids and would have a dozen of them if allowed ..... he broke down after the last one and more than anything , seeing him break down will kill me !!

Can it really be a pregnancy so soon and can I carry this baby to term ?? can God really be so kind to us ...or is he testing our strength and tenacity again like he usually does !! I don't know

Aanaa: So sorry to hear about the miscarriage. Big hugs to you!! It sounds like you have been through such a difficult time.

What could be the cause of the bleeding gums?

Have you considered doing an HPT test or do you think it is too soon to do a test since their could still be HCG levels in your system?? Other ladies, how long after a miscarriage can you get "accurate" results again? I can just imagine how the thought of not knowing adds more to your emotional burden.

Hoping that you heal emotionally. Take care and please let us know of any news.

Good luck with getting the sugar levels down. Do you have to go on a diet or medication for this?

Hmmm ... where to start !

So I did eventually have a natural miscarriage at 10.5 weeks ... extremely painful, physically and more so emotionally

For those of you who are not aware or do not remember my story , the doc suspected blighted ovum and so it was . but those 4 weeks were too traumatic as they were not sure and I continued to have full pregnancy symptoms , even till the day I started the MC

Anyway so went through the regular investigative tests etc which were all ok except for sugar which is still high

The follow up scan after the scan showed a minimal amnt of RPOC but both the doc and the sonographer said its ok and will be expelled naturally without any intervention .

since the last week or so I have bleeding gums everyday I brush , extremely tired with headache , nausea only while brushing ... and I will complete 4 weeks since the start of MC tomorrow . am confused and scared coz I don't know whether I will be more happy or more worried if these do end up being positive signs and not just things in my brain ( the blood I spit out everyday cannot be but true though )

the doc had asked to wait for 2 months we tried again , with increased sugar levels and the recent MC am not sure if my body is capable of handling another pregnancy successfully or if it is a pregnancy ie , will it again end up like the last one !! how will I handle it then ! I never thought I would ovulate so soon so never took any precaution and we indulged only once during this time .

I am not even sure whether it is actually a pregnancy and am already worried sick , I will die of heart attack really though emotionally nothing can be better than me being pregnant now !

Need support ladies and also some advice is anyone of you have gone through this stage

Biance_christian: I can't imagine how shocked you must have been to find out the testosterone therapy reduces sperm count!! Hoping for the best with the new doctors.

Tanasha - Glad to hear the tests became darker and darker. I have heard that many people say that HPT are more accurate anyway! Take care and PLEASE let us know how things are going, especially after your first scan! How exciting?!

AFM: Waiting for AF to pitch withing the next 2 days...HPT neg. and just waiting...All the signs are there, although my husband and I have not gotten into a fight from PMS moodiness (not yet...he he he). The combination of the vitex, vitb, magnesium has really helped with the out of control moodiness with PMS.

Hoping everyone else is doing well!
