TTC After a Loss

Hope returning?

Maybe just for today? Maybe forever?  I don't know but I feel hopeful about TTC again.  I am not sure I am going to go through with the RPL testing until we have another loss (which we never will right ladies?).  I actually did the math and if my calculations are correct for the next three months if we were to get pregnant and carry to term my due date would be right around either my mother's birthday (if it's an October baby), my birthday (if it's a November baby) or my DH's birthday (if it's a December baby).  What a wonderful gift for any one of our birthday's right.

I feel foolish for hoping but I can't help myself!

Re: Hope returning?

  • I think its wonderful that you're hopeful again.  It's a long hard road we are all on and the one thing we need to have is hope that we'll soon get a BFP and next time we'll get a take home baby.  I rejoice in your hopefullness !!

  • Just yesterday I started to feel the same way.  Having hope for the future makes the loss much less painful to me.  I haven't cried in a few days!  I'm TTA until next month, but I'm hopeful that I'll have a November or December baby.  My birthday is in Nov and DH's is in Dec (just like you guys), so that would just be the best present.

  • Hope is sometimes all we have! I don't know if you have ever noticed the quote in my siggy... it gets me through and gives me peace!

    I use to be so ridiculous because DD birthday is in August and DS in October DH in Novemeber and myself in December, and I kept trying to plan for a spring or early summer baby to try and keep our heads above water with birthdays snowballing and Christmas at the same time.. Now I have learned my lesson on that one and would gladly take anything!

    Im glad to hear you are getting hope back.. don't ever for one second feel foolish!

  • Hope is so hard, it is so comforting but it also can set us up for such disappointment it can be scary.

    My EDD would be my BFF's birthday and that got me all excited, so I understand. I sincerely hope that we're both right to be hopeful. Don't be afraid to be hopeful, even if you're let down, it's still better than complete despair.

  • That's wonderful. You may as well have hope and look forward to the future - because what will be will be regardless of your attitude, and you wouldn't want to miss out on happiness by worrying about something that may never happen. All the best to you!

  • I know exactly what you mean. I was excited about having a March baby...and was hoping for a girl...etc. When I miscarried...and found out it was a boy, I wanted that little boy more than anything. Now that my husband and I are ttc again, All I want is a healthy baby. I don't care what month it is born, or the sex. Just healthy. It's so scary right now. I try to be hopeful, but I get so many horrible thoughts in my head that I used to not get until all of this.
