Pregnancy after m/c

[kikiritka]

Hi everyone!
I'm new to this sight and decided to join bc i would just like some support and want to offer support to women who have been in the same situation and can understand what were going thru!
I'm 29 years old and have been ttc for almost 2 years.  I ended up getting pregnant after a year and a couple of months of trying, you can imagine how happy and excited my husband and i were!  Then I had a m/c at 6 weeks, and you cant help but think it was something that you did, to cause the m/c! Anyhow it was a natural m/c no dc and by the time the hcg level went down and i waited for 1 period to start so now we're entering our 3rd month of ttc, and i just hope i get pregnant sooner this time, and of course that there is no m/c this time!  Everyone says that i'm a nervous person and that i need to just relax, but i'm not sure how to do that.....I have alot of energy and always think about the future etc.....I just cant understand how a person like me who is in love with my husband and healthy (no ciagrettes/eat well/excercise) is having so much trouble getting pregnant:(, its so frustrating when this is the thing you want the most!

I have a question though about after having sex, i make sure that i lay down for at least 1/2 hour before i get up, but i have noticed alot of my husbands semen leaks out when i do get up, is that normal???  I guess what I'm trying to ask is how much semen should leak out if any?

thanks guys in advance!

Hi, I too had a mc last year in november, after a year or ttc, so it was a major setback! I had been trying ever since my d&c, and it only last month that I got pregnant again..
About the lying down with semen in us.. I always did this and did NOT get pregnant all these months. Last month, on our ONLY  bd night, I was sleepy, moody, and thought that probably its too tough to get pregnant and immediately got up after sex, 'washed' and went to bed... and BANG I am pregnant!! So there were days and days of BDing in the past few months, with me lying down after sex- no use.... and this one BD last month, with not even 2 minutes of semen in me.. and I am positive... its only a miracle!! :)

In my last week u/s scan, i got to know I have a tilted uterus.. so may be thats why the lying down with a pillow under my back was not helping at all!!!.. they say that if you have a tilted uterus, elevating your back when you lie down may cause the semen not to reach the uterus opening at all...

so dont worry.. it will happen when it has to.. you will not even get to know!! :-) Good Luck!

I am now almost 8 weeks preggs and enjoying myself!

I had a miscarriage last cot (2009)  just got my bfp end of sept 2010.  Took me a year.  I'm 33 yrs old, and was afraid it would take too long!!  everyone is different.  Now that i am pg agai, I am soo afraid of another miscarriage.

Sticky baby dust to you.  

as for your question....  Gravity will push it back out.  You only need a tiny drop.  I have heard that you should lay back down, preferrably with knees up, for 1/2 hr.  I'm not sure in the truth to all of this....

I liked to look at my ovulation chart on the site babymed  it is REALLY easy to see & understand.  It goes day by day on a callander, instead of just listing a few days.

Yes it is normal for it to come out when you stand up. You can thank gravity for that one :)  When we were ttc I would put a pillow under my butt after BD. Not sure if that helped but we got pregnant after a few cycles.

Dont blame yourself for the m/c. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. We are also two healthy, successful, honest people who have unfortunately had two m/c. It was super rough but you have to keep moving forward but giving yourself time to properly grieve. I hope you get a BFP soon. Sending lots of baby dust your way.

I would suggest tracking your BBT it will help you know when you ovulate, and maybe do OPKS, if your period are regular then you can use a online calculator to determine when you may ovulate. That is my suggestion on you TTC journey.

And about your question yes it is completely normal for the semen to come out when you stand up, it may seem like a lot but it is really both yours and his, Just because semen does come out doesn't mean that those swimmers haven't already made their journey up to your fallopian tubes lol. But keeping yourself elevated for a 1/2 hr is a good thing, just make sure you do go to the bathroom as it can cause a UTI.
