TTC After a Loss

Yay bleeding stopped! (Some TMI)

I feel like I have achieved my first major milestone - bleeding after m/c 11 days ago has finally tapered down to just a bit of pink after wiping so I'm calling that DONE.

Next major milestone - HCG bloodwork friday, FX for a zero! Who would have thought I would get excited about being able to fail a pregnancy test??

These little milestones help me get by day to day. If I think longer term, that it may be 3 or 4 months before we can officially TTC, it's too depressing. 

**Warning: Losses and living child mentioned**
BFP#1 1/31/12, EDD 10/6/12 Harrison Gray born sleeping @ 18w6d. You changed our lives little guy.
BFP#2 EDD 10/29/13, C/P 2/25/13, Bye little Ish, we barely got to know you.
BFP#3 EDD 12/21/13, Baby Boots born 11/23/13 My rainbow baby!

  • I know I was thinking the same thing the other day. I had another round of HCG levels checked and all I could think was: "if I did a HPT it would still be positive and I'm not pg!!" I don't know why but that really grated on me for a while. I think it will be a few months before I can TTC again but just watching the levels come down right now is getting me through, then the thought of AF and then.. being able to finally try again. Day by day.. is all we can do.. fx for a big fat ZERO!! ((HUGS))

    That's great.  I agree that it's helpful to focus on each milestone as a step forward, it can be overwhelming to thing about everything else all at once.

    I'm really glad that your bleeding has stopped and I hope your HCG comes back at zero.  Little milestones should definately be celebrated, looking long-term can be a little overwhelming.  Fingers (and toes!) crossed for you.
