TTC After a Loss

Intro. (Warning - DS mentioned)

Hello ladies:)

After lurking for a bit, I have decided to come out and introduce myself.

I had a missed miscarriage diagnosed on June 18.  I was 8 weeks, 3 days and the baby measured 8 weeks, 1 day with no heartbeat.  I took cytotec and miscarried at home. 

I had a previous loss at 5 weeks, before conceiving my son, who is almost 2.  We also had a very early loss of a vanishing twin when we were pregnant with him.

I have not yet been cleared to ttc as I still have some pregnancy hormone remaing in my body - but my doctor thinks it should disipate in about 2 weeks.  I am going to have a phone appointment with my doctor next week to discuss lingering questions from our loss and make a plan for trying again.

I am sad we all have to join this community, but am glad we are able to be here for each other.  I look forward to getting to know you all:)

  • I'm very sorry about your losses. Welcome to the board. This is a wonderful place for support and comfort along this messed up journey we're all on. I have just returned after some months away, and I am already comforted by being reminded that we are not alone. I look forward to getting to know you.
