TTC After a Loss

Hello Everyone

DW and I are currently experiencing our first loss.  We were beyond excited to receive our very first BFP on 11/30, but by 12/5 realized it was a chemical pregnancy.  Even though we understand how common CP's are, it doesn't change how caught off guard we were and as many times as we have been told "it was barely anything" or "don't worry, there probably wasn't even a heart beat" we are finding it hard to just move on from.  Our doctor has told us we can resume AI since my everything seems to be normal and that is our plan.  I think no matter how small the loss may be, people who haven't experienced it do not understand that any loss is a loss worth grieving.  I have been a participant of the TTGP and LGBT boards for several months now and look forward to getting to know and interact on this board as well.  Best of luck to all.

Re: Hello Everyone

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. Comments like those that people have said to you are so hurtful. I think many of us here have heard similar things. ((Hugs))

    I have also heard similar things to that and it pisses me off to no end! 
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site. 



  • ((hugs)) I'm so sorry that anyone has trivialized the pain you are going through. Your loss is real and valid. Your feelings are, too. Welcome to the board.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. I experienced my first MMC in September and I have had plenty of people tell me that it's not such a big deal or that I shouldn't be so upset, but they don't understand how hard a loss is, even if it's an early one. I hope you find comfort and support on this board.

    "Everybody here has got a story to tell. Everybody's been through their own hell. There's nothing too special about getting hurt, but getting over it that takes the work. Because one way or another, we all need each other. Nothing's going to turn out the way you thought it would. Friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover because everything comes out the way it should in the end." -Glen Phillips, "Duck and Cover" 


  • Welcome to the board! I'm very sorry for your loss.  My loss was also a chemical pregnancy.  The feelings of attachment through the pregnancy and grief through the loss were just as real.  ((hugs))

  • I'm very sorry for your loss. It sucks when people try to minimalize your pain just because it was an early loss. Doesn't matter how early it is, the minute you find out you're pg you are a mother. Don't let people get you down. People are ignorant.
    Sending loads of hugs!!

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. Welcome, I hope that you find comfort here.
  • Welcome and I'm sorry for your loss . To quote Dr Seuss a person's a person no matter how small. No one has the right to downsize or compare your pain . They think they are being helpful or "positive" but they aren't . You are the only person who is allowed to make those measurements of your own loss!
    Big hugs to you .
