hey just wondering if anyone knows how quickly your cycle goes back to normal after a stillbirth?
Charlie was born at 22weeks, i recovered really quickly and had a fairly normal AF after 6 weeks, but now I'm CD38 and no hint of my next AF... I'm pretty sure I haven't OV-ed yet but haven't been charting, just watching CM, which was pretty reliable before I was UTD with her. ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

Hey gypsynita,
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my little girl at 20 weeks 1 month ago today. Also had a quick recovery and excited that my first AF came yesterday! Have you thought about taking a test just to see? If you have been trying you never know! My temps have been all over the place and CM unreliable. But I def ovulated 7 days ago (had an ultrasound to get the all clear to try again and it showed a mature follicle ready so the radiologist said go for it, then the next day had severe O pain on that side) but my luteal phase was only 7 days, so no chance for that poor egg! hopefully this cycle will be a bit more normal  -------------

hey 0nats0 - sorry to hear about your wee girl too  isn't it crazy how many stories you suddenly hear about baby loss after it's happened to you? everyone talks about mc being so common, but it almost seems like it's forbidden to talk about other loss...
anyway - yeah maybe i should test  . kinda freaked out now though, i was so desperate to get pg again but don't know if i'm ready lol!
good luck for next month xx ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

Yeah I totally know what you mean about how no one really talks about it.
I'm really nervous too, after we tried last cycle I immediately regretted it as I wasn't ready especially not having AF back, so I am pretty relieved it came early. This cycle I feel a lot more confident ,but still freaked too, although im pretty sure we will feel nervous no matter how long we wait. I really hope you hear good news, please let me know how you get on :) -------------
