TTC After a Loss
Options

How do you feel?

My doc (incompetent as he is...) said we can TTC after one cycle.  Well my cycle is over and we are back to TTC.  I am excited about it, but I am still finding that I get upset and sad at the strangest times!  I know a month isn't long to wait, but we have already been trying for more than a year so we don't want to keep waiting.  I am calling a new doctor next week and hoping to set up an initial visit with him asap. 

Things are off to a good start with DH and he has come to terms with a few different things that were stressing him out earlier.  We are not moving, we are going to stick it out in our house for a while longer and he is comfortable with that (a new development that I am thankful for!).  He is done with his MBA program in three weeks which will be great!

How do you feel about this new journey TTCAL?  I guess what I am saying is I go back and forth, I am excited about what the future holds, but sad about what we missed out on with this baby.

Hallelujah, it's a miracle, I have children AND a signature!

    I'm glad things are going better for you. As far as my feelings on TTCAL... I am still upset about our loss and I am terrified of having another loss. I'm more scared of not having a take home baby though, so here we are. TTCAL is a lot less fun than TTC the first time around.

    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

    I don't think that sadness will ever go away; it will just fade over time.  I want a baby with all of my being, but the fear will niggle away on that anyway.  It just plain sucks.

    TTCAL has been an exhausting journey for me.  I have secondary infertility in addition to having a m/c.  We've been TTC since December 2008.  It seems like I just go through the motions anymore and don't really expect to get a BFP again.

    However, I have recently had a health break-through and am in the process of being diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  All I have to do is remove gluten from my diet and my IF and m/c issue (along with other health problems) may be solved.  I'm excited again at the idea that I might have a chance and and answer.  Then again, it's been so long that I don't allow myself to get *too* excited.
