TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Can I come on over?

Well, most of you probably have seen me on TTCAL.  IRL, I'm Jennifer.  I had my miscarriage in August, and I have had issues regulating my cycle since then.  Currently, I am on a 70-plus day cycle.  I have a consult with a specialist schedule for June 1, so, until then, we are just waiting.  I have slowed down my posting on TTCAL recently as I am now working two jobs (I'm a college advisor and I write freelance articles).  Part of my inactivity, though, is my sadness at being left behind month after month and, now, my complete absence of hope (for awhile--I anticipate that it will get better in time).  With no cycle, there is no 2ww and no chance of a BFP.  That statement makes me sound super depressed, but I am handling it pretty well day-to-day.  It's just that, sometimes, seeing some of the TTCAL posts is hard.  Anyway, that's where I am at.

    Welcome to 6+.  I'm so sorry your journey has brought you here.  I totally get what you're saying about being left behind, no 2ww and not having that hope of a BFP.  The waiting sucks.  I hope your appointment on the 1st gives you some renewed hope.  (((HUGS)))

  • I'm so sorry that you have to be here but you're very welcome. I get the "left behind" feeling. It's hard being on TTCAL and seeing all the newbies move on while we are left in the dust.

    Welcome and (((hugs))).  I'm wish none of us had to be here.  I'm currently on CD87 and will be taking provera on Monday to get things moving.

    I hope your appointment is helpful and will give you hope again. 

  • Welcome to 6+, although I'm sorry you find yourself here.

  • Thanks, ladies.  I appreciate it.  Cashews, the long cycle is pretty uncomfortable.  It's like I get PMS every couple of weeks but nothing ever happens.  My normal OB prescribed Provera, but I never took it...just waiting to see the specialist I guess.  Anyway, I am sorry any of us are here but glad we can support one another.  ((hugs)) back to you all.

  • Welcome.

     The getting left behind is why I moved over, and why I almost never bother on the main board now.  It's just too hard trying to get to know newbies who get their BFP and move on.  I'm happy for them, but incredibly sad for me.

    Jennie, I am so so sorry that you find yourself moving over here...

    It sucks so bad to be left behind again and again. And I know how it feels to be sitting in limbo  with no 2ww and no hope of a BFP. I hope they figure something out for you soon... and in the meantime - welcome to 6+.

     Thanks, Jen.  I am so sorry you, or anyone else, is able to empathize, and I know you have been through hell and back.  It's nice to just have somewhere to go for support.   Anyway, thank you for the warm welcome!

    I'm so sorry you have to be here. Welcome. 

    Damn, it seems like last week that you were a wide-eyed newb. Except I know you better than a wide-eyed newb. Sad (((HUGS))) I hope the specialist can find a way to end the cycle.

    Ha!  Yes, it doesn't seem like that long in some ways, and, in others, it feels like ages! I guess that is true of life in general, though??  I hope the specialist helps, too--at the very least, it's an attempt to move forward. Thanks for the good wishes, Petra.

    ((hugs)) welcome hon.  I'm sorry you have to be here but this is a safer space and I completely understand how you feel about being left behind...we all feel that way.  I hope you get some sense of peace at your consult, I'm sure to time between now and then won't be as long a wait as it seems.

    Thanks, Erin.  I am glad you all are here for support.  If we have to do this, might as well do it together...  I am annoyed with the wait until June but am also hoping that it gives me time to deal with the disappointment and just get the situation in hand (as much as possible).  Thank you for the welcoming words.

    C'mon over!  Sorry you have to be here, though.  I know for me, it was a tough transition to this board because it really acknowledges just how long I've been at this with no results.  Glad to have you aboard!

    Yeah, I have been "eligible" for awhile now but putting it off for this exact reason.  I just didn't want to admit it had reached the point it has.  Thinking about that too much puts me on edge.  But, I am relieved there is somewhere for me besides TTCAL itself.  I wish everyone on there well, but it stings sometimes.
