Finally ready to TTC again after mc

mj4106

I lost a baby boy at 18 weeks and had the D and E almost 5 weeks ago.  I have been an emotional wreck since the day we found out about the loss.  I still cry all the time when I'm alone and haven't been able to control the emotional eating.  I still look pregnant and that makes it so much harder.  I haven't felt ready to TTC yet....until today.  

A dear friend of mine announced she is pregnant today.  She suffered a miscarriage too and was a huge support to me during mine.  When she told me she was pregnant, I didn't fall apart.  I was happy, so happy for the first time since that dreadful ultrasound back in February.  I was happy because she was devastated after her loss and was there for me during my loss, and happy because her news gave me some hope that I could have a healthy pregnancy too. So I owe her a big thank you for helping me get to the point of readiness to TTC again.

And the cherry on top for me? AF came today...so with my newfound hope and excitement to try again on top of my body telling me it's ready, I feel completely energerized.  I have my OPK ready to go.  

 I went through 5 very long years of doctors and fertility treatments and 2 cycles of very expensive IVF to have only one embryo survive it all.  That one embryo gave us a beautiful baby girl.  She has been my rock helping me through the loss of what should have been her brother.  He was a surprise - no help from a doctor.  I think that's why the loss hit me even harder.  We can't afford any more IVF cycles, so I'm crossing my fingers that we may be blessed with a BFP the natural way again, but this time be able to have a healthy and successful pregnancy.

Ladies, I wish every one of you all the best for a healthy, happy, stress-free, successful pregnancy!  Good luck to all of you!  xo

I am so sorry for your loss and wanted to wish you the best with TTC again. I too lost our baby boy at 18w last June and waited about 3 months before trying again. Both my DS and angel DS are through fertility treatments as well. I am glad that you have

There are several women on here who understand what you are going through.  Like everyone else said, I too am sorry for your loss and know what it's like to pick yourself up to try again.  I'm happy for you that you've reached that point.

Thank you all so very much for the kind and supportive words.  This has been such a difficult time.  Though I will never fully recover emotionally from the loss, I finally understand how people who have been through a mc say it will get easie
