First Month Trying Again

IAMommy · #1 June 22nd, 2008, 02:46 PM

Hello All -

My Name is Samantha, and I am pretty new to this group. Starting today, this will be my first month TTC after giving birth to my angles Isaac and Avery in April. They were orig due in Sept 08, and passed due to TRAP Sequence. I am still greiving thier passing, but I feel as though I am ready to have more childern. My DH is ready too, so here we are embarking on a very scary, but hopefully exciting new path in life. It took us almost 9 months to first conceive, and I am hoping it will not take that long this time. Any advise on getting started again??

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have had 2 m/c's since January and we'll likely be TTC in the next month or two. To speed up your process, I would definitely pick up some OPK's and then some cheap pg tests...

and I look forward to geting to know you better!

I am so sorry for your loss

I lost a lil Girl we called Angel in April at 17w I was due Sept 08. I am waiting on my first cycle to ttc right now.

I suggest charting your cycles and useing OPK's For more info on charting if you dont know how check out the FAM and NFP board under womens health.

Good luck and I look forward to getting to know you!

I'm so sorry for your losses! I really wish no mother would ever have to go through the pain of losing a child -- but unfortunately, life isn't fair sometimes. I had a natural m/c in November. We got pregnant the first time pretty quickly, but this time it is taking a bit longer. I'm still new to all the charting, temping and OPKs, but if you hang around this board for any length of time, you WILL get the urge to pee on some kind of test, so having those available (OPKs or HPTs) may help to keep you sane around us. Glad you found us. Oh, and

I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my baby girl, Marina, at 14 weeks in october 2007. We got pregnant on BCP's, my first month on them, and now it seems to be taking forever to get pregnant again. My best advice is to prepare yourself, take prenatal vitamins, get some opk's if you want to get pregnant faster, and stick around here, everyone is very supportive!

Welcome Samantha. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my baby at 10 weeks in April. My advice is to start charting, that way you will really get to learn all about your cycle. Good luck!
