TTC After a Loss

Off the bench! Finally!!!

Spoke to my doctors/surgeons and they have weighed in and given DH and I the green light (!!!!) to TTC after being benched for the last 9 months dealing with all of the complications from our MMC. I'll probably still go ahead with a hysteroscopy in May if we don't get KU on the first try (what are the chances, right?), but it's soooooo nice to know we can finally get off the bench and get back in the game!

I hope that I can keep this positive attitude and energy going forward and help you power through the BFNs and celebrate your BFPs!

    Great news! I remember you from the March BMB (I was only lurking in those days), and am so sorry for what you've gone through. It must feel great to be moving on from this in a physical sense.

  • @weareturtles congratulations!!!
    Me: 39 DH: 39
    CP 1/25/16 4.5 weeks, developed Graves' disease
  • Thanks everyone! I'm by no means "all better" and am at high risk for a lot of Asherman's related complications which are super scary, but it's such a relief to be able to at least TRY now.

    It's only CD 4 for me now, so I've got another 2 weeks before O, so I'm trying to get back to good habits and positive thinking while I'm WTO.

    @icecubeinthedesert - thanks for sharing! I'm always so touched when folks who knew of me back from the March BMB speak up and remember my story. :blush:
