TTC After a Loss

Back home and TTC is back on track!

I managed to survive 10 days with too many family members and my first AF post m/c. I must say the day after Thanksgiving sucked. I saw 3 pg woman, all of whom are right around 28 wks. It just reminded me of what I looked like when I lost Nicholas. The 2 babies I saw were born 4-6 weeks after he was, another lovely reminder. It just hit hard b/c of the second loss, and knowing that we are no closer to a baby. But we survived with some tears and some anger on my part.

Now we can resume TTC and while it is nerve racking I know that we can do this again. Having been able to keep it together and only loss it for a few hours is good, we can mourn and regain composure which we could not do as readily before.

Hope everyone else survived and came out the other side okay. I know family can be rough and I know people can often say some questionable things. I try to let it pass but sometimes it is really hard!
