Waiting to try:TTC

2005-05-03

Name: Preeti Hi everyone
I had a misscarriage in Jan & now as I have already gone through 3 cycles I am thinking of TTC in May.My last periods were on 17th Apr' so i'll be trying around last week of May.
Please let me know ,should I start taking prenatel vitamins from now or wait till I concive.I take a very good & healthy diet full of folate.Do I need to take it in form of tablates.
After my misshap I am really scared.
Thanks in advance for helping.
Preeti

Preeti & Archie

Hi preeti
Sorry to hear about your loss,i suffered a loss in JAN too ,i was 12 weeks along but my baby died at 8 weeks.My doctor said it was a missed miscarriage.Iam also starting to try again and was thinking we could help each other and share thoughts through this journey.

It is finally in Gods hands to make it happen we have to pray hard and not stress.Iam taking prenatals already.

Archie i wanted to ask you about taking aspirin after ovulation for better formation of uterine lining.i have a 30 day cycle after my miscarriage,earlier it was 27 days.Also could you help me out as far as detecting ovulation and timing of intercourse.Also any other recommendations for people like me and preeti who are trying after a loss.
Thanks in advance

OPK

Dear sss,
sorry to hear your missed abortion.
Things do happen and as you say it's in his hands who is controlling the whole world.

try to use OPK and start testing from CD9 if you have 30 days cycles. This will bring you close to detect ovulation.

Continue taking prenatals, I would say if you want to try without OPK then start from CD12 or CD13 till CD17 and stop intercourse thereafter.

There is no special tip for starting after miscarriage besides check all immunological factors before trying for the next so that your body is clearly understood and one know what to expect.

No rush or haste in first trimester, try to take bed rest if possible.

take folic acid

Dear Preeti,
sorry to hear your loss.
To recover and assure about your folate needs I would still recommend you to eat prenatals, if not whole prenatals (I strongly recommend to eat though with your mishap) at least folic acid tablets.

If cycles are regular then you can tell how long is a cycle and come back when you get your next period. I think you are likely surpassed ovulation for the cycle you are running and hence may not recommend to try now but certainly after period.
Also let me know what week you lost the pregnancy and how did you come to know of that mishap, will help to make suggestion on.

I would say to continue with prenatals

Dear Preeti,
Your loss (missed abortion or missed miscarriage) is not likely due to you taking prenatal. True that in older days we were not taking prenatals and so are many villagers in India, even today. But look at the difference, how many of them were born with permanent handicapped ness, low weight birth and also babies born in 8th month or 9th month. I think Prenatals have been of great help to boost develope baby normally and to the fullest of capacity.

I think what your schedule stated here is not so good for first timers. It's not radically bad at all but remember each one is different and their body responds differently. I think you will definitely have to avoid or reduce climbing stairs until you reach second trimester and thereafter we will see whether you should or not.
Travelling for 30 minutes by train is not bad but provided not in rush or haste and also not in so crowded commute.

If your cycles are regular and are 28-29 days long then avoid intercourse for first 10 days and have it only for 5 days once per 24 hours from 11th day.

Thanks Archie

Archie
Thanks a lot ,you have been really like god mother of all who r on board.I lost my pregnancy on 13th Jan, in 11th week.I did not have any comlications as cramps or bleeding.The ultrasound showed no growth after 8 weeks so went through D&E on 13th Jan.After that I had chromosomal & genetic abnormality test done on my tissue.Report came in March & everything came out to be good.I am thinking to try after next cycle which is due on 15th May and my cycles are 28-29 days long.
None of my friends had taken prenatels in advance & had successful pregnancies.I on the other hand planned my last one so went through all the tests in advance & started taking Prenate Elite one month prior to ttc.Thats why I am reconsidering every thing again.
Also had a question in mind .I am working & to get to my office I have to walk a lot,climb some stairs & have to take Train to & fro for about 30 mins each way.Is it ok to continue this in first triester ?
Thanks for all your help.
Preeti
