TTC After a Loss

New here...recent late term loss

hello ... My name is Cyndie I am 35 years old... DH & I spent many years NTNP and finally got serious about TTC April 2016....

we got our BFP 01/01/2017  and were so excited... unfortunately at our Anatomy Scan last week we found my cervix had opened 3 cm and and after performing an amnio found an infection had set in the amniotic fluid.... due to the infection my high risk OB would not place a cerclage. My options were to either induce (we were 19 weeks 1 day along) knowing my son would not make it, or let it go knowing it would happen on it's own eventually however he advised the infection was severe and doing this would most likely lead to me losing my uterus. We induced that night; the most painful experience mentally, emotionally and physically I have ever been through. Our son Alexander was born 4/13/17 @9:10pm.  we spent some time with him and we will be having him cremated 

DH immediately said he wanted to try again as soon as it is safe for me to physically... of course we aren't actively trying yet (probably won't be cleared for sex for a few more weeks) but i'm trying to do as much as i can to preplan now. 

when we got our BFP we had actually been taking a break from TTC- we had done an HSG 3 months prior and were planning on starting IUI's with injectables, 

I plan on going back to the same RE i was seeing because I loved her, asking her to repeat the HSG to make sure nothing during all this has damaged my tubes and then moving forward with the IUIs w/ injectables .... I do worry about my age... i'm 35 and will be 36 in November but i'm hoping we can be successful again and this time carry to term

  • Glad to see you decide to come over here. Again I'm so sorry for your loss.  I wouldn't worry too much about the age but I get it. I got pregnant for the first time at age 39 and delivered at age 40. I've since had two miscarriages but am hopeful that I can still have one more successful pregnancy. We are also going the IUI route this time as I just don't want to waste any time. My dr has always been encouraging so I hope yours is too 
  • Thank you @Mack2342 my RE was pushing IVF pretty hard before we got pregnant ...it's why we were taking a break and then spontaneously conceived.. unfortunately IVF is just not something we can afford and I think we can do it with either timing or IUI
