Hi everyone. I just found out today that I had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. My heart is shattered. I go in for my D&C tomorrow, and everything still feels surreal. My partner and I are already thinking about trying again as soon as we can, but I’m so overwhelmed with fear and grief.
I’ve been wondering — did anyone here choose to see their baby after the D&C? Or send tissue out for testing to find out what happened? I’m torn on what to do and would love to hear others’ experiences. If you’ve gone through a loss and tried again, I’d really appreciate any insight on the healing, the timing, or just how you made it through. I need some light right now.
Re: Wanting to TTC after loss at 10 weeks and a D&C
I’m so deeply sorry for your loss 💔— I went through a missed miscarriage too, and I remember how surreal and crushing it felt. Please know that whatever you’re feeling right now — grief, fear, confusion — it’s all valid. For the D&C, some people choose to have testing done, and it can bring peace of mind to understand if there was a chromosomal reason. For me, I chose testing and it gave me closure, but I also know friends who healed better by not knowing and simply moving forward.
When my partner and I decided to try again, what helped most was giving myself a little time to heal physically and emotionally first. I focused on self-care, therapy, and nourishing my body. When we started again, I added in supplements and tried Get Pregnant Fertility Tea — it felt like a gentle way to support my cycles and hormones. Within a couple of months of being consistent, I did conceive again, and it brought me so much hope after loss.
Be gentle with yourself through this — you don’t need to rush, but also don’t feel guilty if hope comes sooner than you expected. Sending you so much light and strength ❤️✨
