TTC After a Loss

How do you do it?

I just had my first MC this week and my D&C yesterday. Dr. said i should wait 3 months to TTC again. Im ok with that DH wants to try sooner but understands why we shouldnt. And after looking around and see all you brave strong women who have lost more than one in a row i'm terrified of getting pregnant again and going though this but on the other hand I cant wait to TTC to have another one. So my question to you ladies is how to get the Strength that you all have to move on and not live in fear of it happening again? Thank you very much ladies and my heats are with all of you!

  • Sorry for your loss.

    I think the mantra most women here use is: My desire for a baby is greater than my fear of another loss.

    Good luck!

    Ditto this.  Welcome to the board.  I am so sorry you are going through this.  There is great support here.  And DH and I have found alot of strength in each other.  Keep your faith and it will help you through it.  Big hugs to you.

    Exactly!  I lost two babies in 6 months and it made me more determined to get that baby we are so desiring.  I will be scared when I get pg again that something will go on, but my faith will get me thru!

    It's a cliche but time heals alot of the pain and anxiety.  At first you can't imagine being it being ok but everyday you will find more strength and eventually hope.

    I think PP is right though about the desire for a baby being greater than the fear of another loss. It's one of those things you just take day by day. Know that you'll have a good support system here. GL to you when you TTC again.

  • That's definitely a question none of us have the answer to!  I'm scared to death of having another m/c, but I have faith in God, and the doctors, that they will do everything in their power to give me a healthy baby.  You will never get over your fear, but your desire to have a baby will outweigh that fear.  You might not be emotionally (as well as physically) ready to try right away, so give yourself time to heal.  This is a wonderful board...you will find many good friends, laughs, advice, and knowledge here!  Good luck in your ttc journey!

  • First, I'm so sorry for your loss.

    Second, to answer your question, I see it that I have to try again in order to get my forever baby. If I don't try, there is no chance of that baby. Ever time you get pregnant there is a chance of m/c but it's one of those things that you can't prevent and if it's going to happen, it will happen.

    I just have to have faith that one day, all of this sorrow will be covered by the overwhelming joy of having a baby.
