TTC After a Loss

Finishing a bottle of prenatals (vent)

I'm having an emotional day. Next week I will finish another bottle of prenatal vitamins- which means I've been TTC our take home baby this time around for just over 9 months. I know that's nothing compared to some of the lovely ladies on this board, and it makes me angry for all of us. I have so much respect for the incredible women here- for having the strength and determination to keep going. I go between wanting to bawl and wanting to freak out at every pregnant woman I know. I watched another stupid video this morning about a place in Tennessee where 20% of the high school girls are pregnant, and I am so discouraged. My first loss was in '07, and my second in '10. It's just so hard to keep trying sometimes.

(End rant). 

After two losses, a rainbow arrived! DD born 11.5.11

Hysteroscopy Oct '13, not enough progress 
Hysteroscopy Jan '14, given an end-of-the-road diagnosis

Discussing actively TTC with DH after the heartache of the last year. We're both reeling.
 
Please, please, please.

  • Cashew, how do you keep doing it? You seem like such a strong woman. I wish I could bottle a little of that on days like this. I have to have faith that it will happen for us eventually but it's so damn discouraging sometimes.

    Honestly, I have no clue. I just know that there is nothing more that I can do right now. Everything that I can do, I am doing... and there for it's no longer in my hands. There's no sense in getting stressed or bent out of shape over something I can't control.

    But believe me. I do still have my bad days.

    This....although the last time I bought them the cashier at Walgreens said congratulations.  Confused If she only knew.

  • I am sorry you are having a rough day. Hang in there! I hope that things get a lot brighter for you soon :)

    To the PP that mentioned getting the congratulations at Walgreens. I am always nervous to get more Prenatals or anything related around my town, because it is small (it is almost like everyone somehow knows you or your friends) and people start assuming things. Rumors get around quickly and there are times when my friends are upset thinking you are not telling them something. People assuming things like that can be really annoying sometimes :P

    Throwing out some luck to all of you on here :)

  • I hate how the little things always end up getting to us....It sucks getting another bottle of PNV just thinking "I hope this is the month it's going to make a difference!"  (((hugs)))

  • So sorry you are having a bad day!!  I think the same way.  I have about 30 more PNVs and I am already thinking I hope I am pregnant by the time they are gone.  {{Hugs}}

  • Never mind the days, I took it one hour at a time!  To tell you the truth, I was a positive trooper for the first month after my m/c knowing things happen for a reason, but then bitterness kicked in and I stopped taking my prenatal's and vitamins all together as to not give myself another opportunity to think about losing my babies.  Then because we wanted to try for more babies I started taking them again.  Good luck to you!
