44 Years Old, Ttc After a Miscarriage Posted: 01-22-06 21:56pm
Hello, i'm a newbie here. I am 44 years
old, have conceived 5 times and born 4
children. The most recent pregnancy
(with my new husband) ended in a
miscarriage, a year ago. My husband and
I got preg easily when we tried, except
now. Since the miscarriage I have felt
strange sensations around my cervix
during the times in my cycle when the
cervix opens and closes. Has anyone else
experienced this? I am doing alternative
herbs/ essential oils to strengthen my
uterus and still ttc.

Hi. Sorry to hear of your loss. Im not
sure what you mean about strange
sensations unless you mean you can feel
when you are ovulating?? I usually feel
a cramp that sometimes lasts up to an hour
around ovulation time. This past month I
didnt notice any so im not sure if I
ovulated or not?
I had a misscariage too when I was almost
five months pregnant in july. I dont
have any children. (except for the one I
lost) so I am ttc also. I am 27 years
old.
I wish you the best. ***baby dust****

I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage
lilypad...It's a hard thing, and thank you
for your concern and reply.
Sometimes I can feel in my ovary region
when I ovulate, but it's usually a small
tinge and only lasts a few minutes. The
sensation I feel when the cervix changes
feels more like it's in a vise, and
directly on the cervical neck. I can
touch it, and make the sensation less
dramatic. It's not a painful feeling,
just a very noticeable feeling. It was
most noticeable when I first conceived, I
didn't know I was pregnant and the
discomfort was pretty intense. I thought
at first I was having a strange bladder
infection....And drank lots of cranberry
juice. It didn't hurt like a bladder
infection but that's all I could think of.
When I found out I was pregnant, I
understood it was the cervix. But I keep
having these sensations every month,
every time the cervix changes. I've been
to a doctor they tell me everything is
"normal" and who really knows what that
means. It doesn't explain anything to
me. My ovaries checked out fine, and i'm
more regular with my cycles than i've ever
been.

I think I know what you mean. For me I
have only had one experience being
pregnant but ever since my miscarage ( I
cant spell) I think I am more aware of my
body. Sometimes I feel a slight twinge
down there that sortof reminds me of the
first times I felt movement during
pregnancy. Like a flutter kind of .
Its hard to explain. Or maybe im nuts I
dont know!! I wish I could help
more...But if you arent in any pain and
your doctor says you are fine then you
probably are. Maybe your body is still
healing?
