For all my fellow mc ladies, I need some advice...
Well after two mc's and after 2 and expecting (I think) a third cycle... What do I do? I'm scared to get pregnant, but I want to try.... And now with my previously lovely 28 day cycle turned into a 32 cycle, I'm sitting on one day overdue and I'm thinking if I am preg great (scary but great), if I'm not... I'm so waiting a bit longer because 3 mc's in a year sounds like a receipe for disaster. My doctor did the clotting blood test and nothing... Her only suggestion was the recommendation of her fertility consult was baby asprin... thats a real cure. So ladies, with the lack of real maternity care in NZ and lack on any real knowledge or follow up - what do you do? i"m all for jumping of high cliffs with an outgoing tide blindfolded but this feels worse! |

It also makes it worst that if my first pregnancy had worked out I'd be on maternity leave right now and expecting a baby in 2.5 weeks...

Hi M2Bee
I've also had 2 m/c's (sept 09 and mar 10) and am pregnant again. It is a scary time but I really really want this baby so I'm trying to stay focussed on the positives (good blood tests results yesterday  ) and just taking one day at a time. It's hard but I figure the reward at the end will make all the stress and heartache worthwhile.
Have you done a HPT yet? ------------- 4 x m/c - Sep 08, Mar 09, Oct 09 & Feb 10 |

Neg htp. However I don't think I'd get an accurate result til Friday. Are you doing anything different this time round? |

The only think I'm doing differently is cutting back on coffee. Only having one cup of decaf a day - if that.
