TTC After a Loss

Joining you here..

Although I'm not quite TTC again as my loss just occurred this week, I figured it is better to get to know the ladies here rather than sit and wait until we are TTC again to post. 

My long-ish story is posted on 3T (https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/60712707.aspx) but the cliff notes version is my third round of Clomid and first IUI turned into a fluke ectopic pregnancy (O'd from right, pregnancy ended up on left) that resulted in a complete loss of my left tube on Monday.   

The drugs and all the sleep keep me from thinking about the loss too much, but the one thing I can't get over is the fact that there was a heartbeat. It just makes it feel so much worse than if they had just found an empty sac in my tube or something. My previous losses were "easier" (hopefully that isn't offensive to anyone) because I never got to see a heartbeat, or watch them measure an embryo CRL..  but this one is much, much different.

I feel like I'm rambling, which I probably am.. but I hope to be able to offer support and encouragement to ladies here. I think I know a few of you already, but looking forward to knowing more.

  • Welcome.  So sorry to hear about your painful loss.  We got a heartbeat this go-round, as well, and it does make a difference in how you view the loss of the pregnancy.  And a heartbeat with an ectopic...wow.  I'm still waiting to TTC as well.  We'll all be in good company together.

  • I am so, so sorry for your losses. I have been rooting for you as a lurker on TTGP and PGAL. My heart is breaking for you. I completely understand the sentiment about how seeing a hb and then experiencing loss is devastating. All losses are devastating and I get where you are coming from. 

    I hope you can heal quickly and that you get your take home baby soon.

  • I recognize you from TTGP and I want to tell you that I am so, so sorry for your loss.

    I know that I can't say anything to make it better...all I can say is that it sucks and that I hope you are able to take the time you need to grieve. This board has been a great source of support for me these past two months, and I hope you find the same.

    Big hugs to you and know that you are not alone.
