need to know i'm not the only one!

You're definitely not the only one to feel like that, unfortunately it is a common story. I got pg with the baby I lost on my second cycle of tryin but it took 9 cyces before I got another BFP. Hang in there, it WILL happen for you.

You're definitely not alone. While my DH and I do have one child, it took us 18 months and one miscarriage to finally conceive her. We've been trying for 3.5 years now to have another child and we finally conceived after 2 years of trying, only to lose that baby just before 2nd trimester. So, it's been since February of 2008 that we've been trying to have another baby. It's definitely hard. How long have you been trying for? Is your doctor one who you can sit and talk with about what your next step is? It's only been about 6 months since your miscarriage, so depending on how long you tried to conceive the baby you lost, added to that 6 months, your doctor might be willing to start some testing. I would check with your insurance and maybe schedule a consultation with your OB/GYN and just discuss where you're at and what they can do at this point (if they are willing to do anything). But, if you're under 30-35 years old, they might not do anything at all until you've gotten to that one-year post-miscarriage. I know that my doctor wouldn't do anything until it had been a year after my first miscarriage. Sometimes it CAN take several months to finally get that BFP. Perhaps you could start some things before visiting the doctor - you could begin temperature charting (doctors often like to see at least 3 consecutive months of charts to get a better picture of what's going on with your cycles), you can take OPK's, and you can do some things like taking guaifenessin (plain Robitussin or Mucinex without all the extra ingredients - read the label and make sure the active ingredients ONLY list guaifenessin). That can thin your mucus out a bit. Also, make sure you're drinking at LEAST 8 glasses of water a day (64 total ounces). Just some ideas. And if you aren't pg by around a year from your loss, then your doctor should be willing to do some testing and any additional information (temp charts) that you can provide will help your doctor to get an even better picture of where he/she might want to start with testing.

I'm sorry for your loss. I agree with the other ladies. Hang in there, it will happen. After my 1st miscarriage we tried for seven years before I got pg again, miscarried again and tried for three more years before I got pg again, and lost my son at 35 weeks, tried for another year before I got pg again... I know how it feels to not see a bfp. I had so many around me getting pg that after 5 years of failure I couldn't handle it anymore and moved 1800 miles across the country so I could get away from all the babies, that year there were 10 babies born in my family. And I had been struggling for years.

Come here and chat with the girls, I became a member here in 1999, after my first miscarriage and here I am 12 years later still praying for that first living baby. This board was a godsend for me it's such a great support.

Good luck!
