Is it normal?

*Jennifer* · #1 November 23rd, 2008, 09:05 AM

Hi there. I guess I'll jump right into it. I have a career I love, a hubby I love more than life itself, and a pretty darn good life. For the past month I have been in such a funk. I can't stop thinking about having a baby. It is constant. It began as soon as I had a chemical pregnancy. Now, I am worried that I will have another chem. pregnancy. I am also worried that so much worrying will prevent me from getting pregnant again. Can anyone offer some insight?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Welcome to the board, Jennifer.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss!

It's sooo normal to think you'll lose another baby. I think about it everyday, to be quite honest with you. I want to get pregnant so badly, but I'm terrified, and I know every woman on this board has the same feelings.

I hope you stick around, you'll get a lot of advice and support on here. I love my girls!!!

Jennifer. My name is Kimberley and I'm married to Jason. We're on our 7th cycle of TTC after our m/c earlier this year. I honestly never thought that I would want to TTC again, but I do and I know I'll be freaking out until I hear a heartbeat. If it wasn't for the ladies here, I don't know if I would be as sane as I am.

I don't know much about chemical pregnancies, there are a few here that have experienced them and they may be able to better answer your question.

everyone. We are all scared to lose another. I had no doubts I'd TTC again, but I'll be petrified until I hear a HB too.

I am so sorry for your loss

Thank you for the warm welcome and letting me know I'm not the only one feeling this way. I also think I'm like this due to my long cycles (49 days). Perhaps if I ovulated every month I would have hope that I might be pregnant again.

Thank you Kimberly. I absolutely agree with you about the ladies on this board. It has been the only place I've been able to get out my feelings. (I've posted in TTC and a few other message boards here) I will also be freaking out until I hear a heartbeat too.

Thank you! I'll hug DH extra tight tonight since my "darn good life" is pretty much thanks to him.

Jennifer,

Have you spoken to your doctor about that? Maybe he/she can help you out with something. Maybe even give you some vitamin recommendations to make sure you're not waiting so long for AF to show? 49 day cycles seem a bit much to me, I'd go nuts!

I don't know what can be done to shorten them. I was on bc pills for 11 years. I knew it would take time for my body to adjust back to normal, but it has already been just over a year since I stopped taking them. I have an annual with my ob/gyn on Dec. 8. I will ask him then. As for the cycles driving me nuts, you are correct. I'm supposed to ovulate this week, but so far there has been no sign of it.

hi im katt, 24 from uk. It is so hard TTc after a loss, but when you get your BFP it is always worth it!

Hi Jennifer. My name is also Jennifer. Most people just call me Jenn. I'm 27 and DH and I have been TTC since August of 07 with a m/c in June. You are not alone in the feelings that you have. I think we probably all feel that way more than once. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope that you find support and encourgment on this board. These ladies are so wonderful. Feel free to jump right in and I hope that you get some answers or your Dr. can come up with a plan to get you that BFP that you are so badly wanting and deserve.
