Trying to Concieve After Eight Months

The PP already mentioned fertilityfriend. I used that site while TTC. Lots of information and other people in the same situation. Hope all goes well for you.

I feel your pain. I had 1 miscarriage, then a successful pregnancy, then 3 more miscarriages. My cycle never really went back to normal even though I had a monthly flow that appeared normal. I had tried the 7 day ovulation predictor kits for several months without success. I then tried the 30 day kit and as it turns out my ovulation schedule was completely out of whack. One month on the 30 day kit and I am happy to say I am now 7 months pregnant with our second daughter. Just because you have a "normal period" doesn't mean you're having a normal cycle. Give the 30 day ovulation kit a try. Good Luck :O)

M.:

I am truly sorry you are going through this. I know your pain. I've lost 3 babies. One at 20 weeks and the other two at 12 to 16 weeks. We tried for 4 years to get pregnant - seriously - the only thing we didn't do was IVF and we were on our way to doing that. When finally we said "guess we aren't supposed to be parents" and went back to having sex for fun - no more drugs (chlomid, etc.) no more basil body temps, no more timing - no more ovulation tests....and we stopped trying. We got a dog and had FUN AGAIN!!! We got pregnant 4 months later.

Now what's stopping you from getting pregnant again? Stress. You are TRYING to get pregnant. Your body will react to stress and keeping you from getting pregnant is one way our bodies protect us - even if it's what WE WANT.

STOP TRYING. HAVE FUN!!! You are probably still grieving over the loss of your first pregnancy. If you need to talk about it - do - talk to your OB/GYN about your problems and concerns. It's ALWAYS scary to get pregnant again after a miscarriage - the concerns (i.e. will I lose this one too) are overwhelming.

Focus on other things in your life. HAVE FUN!! De-stress - don't think about getting pregnant, just BE. It will happen when it's supposed to happen. I know that's not what you want to hear - but it's the truth.

My periods were irregular when my hubby and I decided to start a family. I decided that I would start charting my cycles to see when the best days were to conceive. I would take my BBT (Basal Body Temperature) every morning before I got out of bed and wrote it down. Then I could enter in the info, along with other fertility signs, on this website and they would calculate what the best days were. After a few months with no luck, I also started using OPK's (Ovulation Predictor Kits). After a few more months, I did some research on this product called Pre-Seed. Voila! Pregnant after the first month I used it. Here are the websites I used:

Good luck!
