Temp crashed today (11 DPO) and I'm just waiting on AF. I'm so disappointed and discouraged. This is month 3 of TTC since our loss and **** it we had so much sex I could barely move! We used soy, PreSeed, OPKs, EPO, Green Tea, temps, SMEP....

I think next month I am just going to temp and BD, no more 'extra stuff'.

DH and I had a long talk yesterday about the baby we lost after I had an emotional breakdown thinking about it, and we talked how we are not even close to getting over losing him and how difficult it is to be trying again and starting over and the roller coaster of TTC. We want to keep going but it's very hard, as you all know I am sure.

Thanks for listening.

I'm sorry Mama....
It's hard to TTC when you're thinking about the loss all the time... but at the same time, the baby fever is intense... but I think you're being very sane in deciding to continue TTC, but with a low-key approach. Doing too much "extra" stuff can be crazy-making. [Exhibit A: me, this cycle]

Good luck with the next cycle...

I am sorry you are going through this. TTCAL is so hard as you are not only frustrated over not getting pregnant right away but still trying to deal with your emotions over the loss of your baby. ((Hugs))

Hugs! TTCAL can make you crazy. I have taken several breaks because if I wouldn't have I would have gone crazy. You have so many emotions running through you at every moment and its hard to keep it together. Just know that we are here for you. I hope you get your sticky BFP this cycle!

I'm sorry that it looks like AF is on her way

It sounds like you have a good plan- I hope that a break from the 'extra' stuff gives you a little more time to breathe and grieve for your lost little one.

Thanks for understanding ladies.

I guess I just feel the only thing that will help me heal to is get pregnant and have another baby, even though I know it will never replace the one I lost. I just feel so empty and hollow, like I need this to feel whole again, KWIM?

I'm right there with you. 11dpo today and my temp took a dive too. I also feel like there is a piece of me missing and I need to fill that hole in. I wish I were there and we could give each other a big hug. Hang in there.
