TTC After a Loss

FWP: pre-loss vs. post-loss

pre-loss:  carefree, fun, no worries, lets do it!

post-loss:  stressful, "getting inside of your head" = are you there yet?,  definitely not care free and definitely FULL of worries- is the timing right? will i be able to get pg? 

UGH!  i miss my carefree, naive outlook on pg/getting pg!

  • I was having this struggle this past weekend...

     pre = let's try and have fun in the process: post = is today the right day? are we doing it too much? we'll, I've already ovulated, so why bother now...

     

     

  • This coming week will be our first FWP week since the m/c.  And I can probably count on both hands that amount of times we've had sex since the m/c (10 times in 3 months-not goodSad)  So it will be interesting to see how FWP goes.  I am hoping that maybe it will get me back into the routine of sex, so it doesn't feel like such an afterthought? I feel like a horrible wife!

  • Pre-loss: Let's do it.  No one in my family has ever had a loss (aunts, SIL, & cousins) so I am the only one. Sad

    Post-loss: A lot of worries.  Look at these stats.

    a) Chance of subsequent pregnancy: 50%
    b) Chance of another ectopic: 15%
    c) Chance of spontaneous abortion during next pregnancy: 15-20%

    I'm really stressed that since it took me 11 cycles to get pregnant that I will have a hard time getting pregnant again with one tube and that I will never have a take home baby.
