TTC After a Loss

Intro (TW)

TW-Child Mentioned

Hello, I've been lurking a bit so I decided I should introduce myself.  This is our first cycle trying since our loss in December of 2016. We found out that we were pregnant with our second in October of 2016 and due in June 2017.  I had all of the same exact symptoms that I did with my daughter (June 2013), but unfortunately we found out at our 11 week scan that the baby had no heartbeat and was measuring only 7weeks 5days (I had absolutely no bleeding or cramping leading up to this). I decided to wait to see if I would miscarry naturally, but ended up having a D&C a week later.  

Its taken a full year for me to emotionally feel ready to try again, but now after deciding to go for it this cycle those feelings from the mmc are starting to come back. I'm hoping that joining this board with other women who have experienced similar things will help make this process a little less nerve-wracking and lonely. 
BFP #1: due 6/17/2013, DD born 6/25/13
BFP #2: due 6/30/2017, MMC found 12/7/2016
BFP #3: due 10/21/2018

  • So sorry for your loss. Welcome to the group.
  • I’m sorry for your loss, but welcome to the group. There’s tons of support here, and it definitely helps me to have people to talk to who can relate to me about my losses. 
  • I’m so sorry for your loss.  I also had a MMC where everything felt exactly like my previous pregnancy and my baby was also measuring 7w5d (I was supposed to have been 9 weeks).  It’s so devastating.  This is a great group, I hope you can feel a little less lonely by participating here  <3

  • Welcome @bel194 I too had a December 2016 MC. DH and I both weren't ready (emotionally) to ttc for quite some time. We finally decided to ntnp back in September or October, but even 9-10 months after the loss, it was still hard transitioning back into ttc mode. I'm so sorry for your loss and good luck. 
  • I’m sorry for your loss.  We lost our first pregnancy and it sure puts you on a roller coaster.  Hugs.
