Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

I guess I should start charting again

Even though we are definitely trying to avoid getting pregnant until we get as many answers as we can, I need to track when I start ovulating again.

I started charting after my first miscarriage and from the day the natural miscarriage occurred it took exactly 40 days for my period to show up again. Not bad considering my cycles are usually 28-30 days long. (Of course I am also the person who had a period at 7 weeks post-partum even when exclusively breastfeeding.) I can't seem to keep a period away even under the craziest circumstances . . . which raises a whole slew of questions I have about my estrogen/progesterone balance. (Yes, more indications of a progesterone problem.)

I know that my husband has probably wanted to throw my BBT thermometer out the window more than a couple of times over the last year and a half (I charted even when we weren't actively TTC) . . . but I know a lot of things that I wouldn't know about my body if I weren't charting. And I want to know how it is going to react to this miscarriage.

I need to make all sorts of notes of things I want to mention to Dr. D.
