TTC After a Loss

One thing I hate about TTC after a loss...

Is living cycle to cyle.  I find I keep wishing away weeks of my life so it's time to TTC or time to test again. 

 Anyone else feel this way??

  • Yeah i sorta do. Though it only took 3 months to get a bfp and now im on ttc cycle 2 post m/c, it just stinks to think about it all.the.time. I just want to be finding out the sex of the baby this week like i was supposed to be Sad

    Here's Drinks to us all getting our healthy babies soon!

  • Totally agree.

    I am so mad at myself for letting this take control of my life. But I don't know what to do. I was never like this before the BFP. It is crazy.

    I am with you 100%.  I'm surprised I haven't been dragged away in a straight jacket, I've made myself so insane at times.

    This!  I wish I could go back to feeling carefree.

  • As an "oldie" I must say that just now ( a whole year after m/c #1 plus some) I am starting to let go and trying to remember I have a life outside of the TTC wolrd.

    So if I could give any advice, I would say that it is much easier said than done, but try to remember that you can and you should keep living your life!

  • I totally agree.  I hate that I count days until O, the 2WW, CD 1, etc, etc.  I feel obsessed with it. 

  • I feel this way too and I don't like it.

    I saw a counselor for a little while after my miscarriage. I was being really hard on myself for being so obsessive and crazed about TTC. She constantly had to remind me that the only women she's ever known who aren't somewhat obsessive after a miscarriage are those who were ambivalent about being pregnant in the first place. I think about that a lot. I'm just starting to relax about it a bit because I just don't have the energy to keep up the obsession anymore.
  • I agree... I always knew I wanted to have children but I never had to put any thought into the process... meaning I was lucky and got pg right away when we got married... now everyday seems to be about TTC in one way or another.  It is hard but I see that is it getting better with each passing month.
  • I'm right there with you ladies.  We are just starting TTC again after our miscarriage and it's the "countdown life" all over again.  However, I seem a bit more relaxed about it now than last time.  I guess I just realized all of this is out of my hands, and Godwilling I will have a happy and healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby when the time is right.  BUT, I still want to be pregnant NOW and have a happy, healthy pregnancy and baby! Wink
