Thanks to everyone who has stopped by to read my blog!
And thanks also for asking about my new pregnancy.
As soon as I fell pregnant I knew I would not keep posting on this blog about my new pregnancy. I didn't want it to be jinxed by the miscarriage.
I did want to post the news that I was pregnant though, to give everyone else who goes through the heartache of miscarriage hope that they too will fall pregnant again soon.
Take care

CD7
Still having the odd bit of spotting following my first period after m/c.
I fear for my lining, that it is not going to form properly if I am still losing bits of it...
I fear that my hormones are doing things other than they should.
Having a miscarriage is such a bigger deal physically than I ever imagined.
It's effects MONTHS of your life...
I conceived in July. It is now October.
That is 3 months of my life taken up to be back at square one.
Actually, that's funny. It feels like a whole lot more than just 3 months!!

CD5
God damn, I just had some fresh red bleeding!!!
I cannot believe it.
I thought my period was over.
I didn't have any bleeding yesterday.
Why can't anything be normal anymore??????

That could be the culprit... CD5
Thrush! Argh.
OB called last night to let me know that the swab taken last week showed that I had developed thrush. Great. I have not had thrush since I was a teenager. Yuck. Anyway, at least it's minor and treatable. It's annoying that it's yet another thing I have to deal with on the road to recovery, but at least now I have an explanation for why I've been feeling not-quite-right. And it's not a bad explanation at that.
He also said Friday's ultrasound showed everything to be OK.
My first period since miscarriage is over. I have heard you often get a nightmare period for your first one post-mc but mine was very mild. I did have mild crampy feelings for a couple of days and one afternoon of heavy bleeding, all up the period lasted for about 3-4 days. This is in contrast to my normal period that lasts about 5 days and where the first day I am doubled over with painful cramping for several hours. So I got off pretty easy :)
On Sunday we officially started "trying again". It is exciting to be trying again without obsessing about it. We just do what we do and wait for the magic to happen :)
All the best

CD1 Starting Over
It is CD1 for me now.
A new cycle.
Another chance.
A new beginning.
Hopeful again.
My period began for real today. It freaked me out a bit to once again be dripping blood. Such a sad reminder of the miscarriage. I am glad though. When I stop bleeding we will officially be "trying again". I am excited, and scared, and more than a little jaded. After Wednesday's ultrasound, the pains easing, and now my period turning up I am convinced everything is OK. I still have the OB referred ultrasound today which I'd rather do without now but will go to anyway - so it better not show anything other than that I'm fine!
I can't believe my period showed up exactly four weeks after the miscarriage. That is amazing. Evidence that my body really is being controlled by a higher power than myself.
I am hoping this will be my last AF for a long while. Now I am emotionally preparing to embark on the TTC journey once again and see where that takes us this time...
take care everyone.
