TTC After a Loss

Reaching Out...

Hello and hope this finds you well. Thank you for reading my post. I am new to this wonderful website and am looking forward to making new friends. I am a proud 43 yr. old mother of an amazing Lil' boy, Michael, a Blessing from Above. We are in the midst of trying to conceive another Miracle. Sadly, I, we, suffered a miscarriage in Nov. I feel so lost these days and feeling discouraged since I am not becoming pregnant. I realize it will be more difficult, but I would love to give our son a sibling. I am an only child and longed for that special bond. I know I am not the only mother enduring this pain...I am so sorry for your loss, BTW. I know that becoming a mother again may not happen because of my age and it saddens me to know this may be it. I can't believe I am finally at this stage in my life. Time did fly by but my heart and soul don't feel like it. Would love and value your support, words of encouragement, etc. Thank you so much for your time and I wish you all the best. Blessings and enjoy the rest of your Holiday Weekend...Smile

Re: Reaching Out...

  • I am so sorry for your loss. I am 41 and TTC my 1st so I understand the "age." One of my friends had her 1st at 44, so there is hope. I hope you find support here. Welcome.

    I am so very sorry for your loss.  I am 42 and just had a mc in April.  I don't have my own children, but am blessed with a stepson.  I do hope to have my own one day, and I feel for your yearnings and how age affects that.  Please know that we are here for you and that you are not alone.  Hugs.

    Hello and welcome. I'm so sorry for your loss, and appreciate the sense of urgency with respect to age. I'm 38 and TTC our first. I look forward to getting to know you and hope we can be of comfort to you.

    I'm also very jealous that you live in the Monterey Peninsula. I got my bachelors at CSUMB and just loved it there!

    Good evening...hope this finds you and your loved ones doing very well. Thank you for your comforting message. I grew up in South Orange County and moved here about 5 1/2 yrs. ago. I vacationed here for over 20 yrs. and wanted to move someday to have Big Sur in my backyard. I feel like a tourist still. 

     I am saddened and so sorry to see you have endured such pain. You will be included in my prayers hoping that you will achieve a Miraculous outcome. 

     I look forward to getting to know you as well. Thank you for reaching out and giving me hope and peace. Have a wonderful night and Blessings. Smile
