?? (m/c)

So my friend just had a m/c. Her levels still aren't down to 0. She says she's Oing and is going to try. I suggested she wait a cycle and this was her response.

"Naw...then I would just get more depressed and feel like I didn't try hard enough. (Her H) is just as bad mind you. He's all for it."

Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy? Or is it just that I can't relate to it?

 

Re: ?? (m/c)

  • Come to think of it...is it even possible to get pg again (let alone O) When your levels aren't back to zero?
  • I would question if she's even Oing. It's possible for her to have Oing symptoms, but I doubt that she's actually Oing if her body is still recovering from the pregnancy. Not that I'm an expert or anything. But if they want to "try" and it makes them feel better, they can go for it. I doubt she'll get pg though.

    Is she charting?

  • I think people handle m/c's differently and some might be okay with trying again right away and others need to take a couple of cycles off. So, I don't think I have any issues with them deciding to go ahead.

    But, that being said, I don't think she would be Oing if her levels aren't all the down. I don't really know though.

    Is she charting?

    Yes. Well she was pre-pregnancy. I dont' know if she's gotten back into it or not. Knowing her....probably.

  •  It does make sense that she might not even be o-ing. But, if that's her way of dealing with it then go for it.
  • Having been through beta hell a few times, I would definitely wait until my levels were at zero.  She'll want her body to be totally healed and back to "normal" before getting pregnant again.  But that's JMHO.

    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • My ob told us to wait until after 3 cycles, but then again I had the D and C, so we did have to wait until my body healed.  Yeah, people handle their losses in different ways.  I think I was more scared to try so soon, but my dr was very encouraging and supportive, so that helped.
  • It took about 6 week for my levels to get back to 0 after my m/c (and D&C) and my dr said to wait until at least then before trying again.  I'm doubting that she's even O'ing yet.

  • She essentially delievered her baby. (she was 6 weeks). Would that make a difference on the body's heal time?
  • ((she just said her temps, test and mucus say she's oing))

  • Well if her temps are up than she's already O'd and its too late. I don't think there is a way your temps can tell if your about to O, just that you did. I still think that its more likely her body is giving mixed signals while it recovers. At the same time, I'm sure its possible for some women to O so quickly after a pregnancy/m/c. Every body is different.

    I agree that she's probably rushing things a bit, but ultimitly if they wanna give it the shot than that's their perogative. If it were me, I'd want more time to just recover emotionally.

  • Now that you mention it...since her levels aren't 0 isn't it possible to get a false positive on a O stick?

    I agree..it's really not my place to say (and so I won't) but I think this chick is coo-coo. (for more reasons than just this one)

  • OPKs test the LH surge you get just before you O. I think it's possible that she's getting a false pos because of the horemones that are going on right now, but I don't know a whole lot about what horemones are typical at this point or not.

    Yeah, I'm an A Type personality and all, but I think she needs to relax just a bit. Indifferent

  • A little late on this, but her body probably still thinks she is pregnant and won't O. She can "try" but it's more than likely she will not get pg. My doc said to wait a couple of cycles before trying again, and even though I don't think they are always right, I listened to them on this one. If she refuses to let her body heal, then she shouldn't be surprised if she doesn't become pg for a long time.
