TTC After a Loss

Hoping to be preggers by original due Date

I kind of felt like i had the wind knocked out of me when I just looked at the date, October 1st. Our due date would have been two months from today with our first pregnancy. We found out we had a missed miscarriage at our 12 week appointment on May 20th and then had the D&C on the 22nd. I'm really hoping to be pregnant again by December 1st. I know I still have time, but I've been in a funk lately and just last week I was doing so good! I know there's no time limit, but just needed to babble for a minute. I haven't visited this space in awhile . Anyway sorry for the ramble, but just needed to.

  • Just know that many feel this way. Even though we know it is all in God's time...we still try to plan. I am hoping to be pregnant in December too and definitely by my original due date.
  • I feel the same way
  • My original due date was around the holidays so I was expecting to tell family that we couldn't travel, but now we will be going home and the invasive questions are sure to come and they would be so much easier to handle if I was pregnant....even if we weren't telling anyone. I think we can all relate. FX that it happens for us all. Hugs!
  • I agree it's getting tough with the holidays approaching - I thought we'd be long past telling everyone and I'd be dressing a bump in sweaters and bows and now I'm just hoping I'm pregnant in several months when we would have been due. 

    My due date before the loss had perfect timing for work in terms of taking time off etc. and I know that stuff doesn't really matter but I guess I just never imagined I'd be in this position of still wondering when I'll be pregnant after all this time.
  • Ugh! @DrKariC I know right! I felt like my pregnancy was perfectly timed as well. When things were looking off early in my pregnancy, I convinced myself that I was going to be one of those cases that was the anomaly and that things were going to be fine mostly because I felt like the timing was so perfect that it had to be meant to be....of course I was wrong
  • I am also hoping to be pregnant again by my due date, but I wasn't due until May.  We were looking forward to telling everyone about our pregnancy over the holidays.  However, I had to get methotrexate for an ectopic and now we can't even try again until after Christmas because of the 3 month wait.  It's tough to hit all of those days/times that were once something you were looking forward to and realize that things haven't worked out the way that you had hoped/dreamed.
