While I knew that 1 in every 4 women experienced a miscarriage, I never thought it would happen to me. My heart aches for each and every woman who has to travel this road. It has been extremely comforting to have such amazing support and encouragement from you all and while the fear of trying again feels paralyzing at times, I know that the risk of missing out on possibly having another child is worth it.<br /> To each of you on this same journey, baby dust and prayers to you all! 💞💞 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-miscarriage-at-8-weeks#post-2794225 Sat, 30 Dec 2017 14:26:15 +0000 skinnycow 2794225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss :heart: </p> <p>I learned our second baby stopped growing when I should have been 9 weeks along. I have no advice on trying again as we can't TTC for another 6 months. I'm about 2 months out from the miscarriage and I feel totally ready to try again (although I would be terrified also) so hopefully you'll feel better in time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-miscarriage-at-8-weeks#post-2794221 Sat, 30 Dec 2017 13:56:02 +0000 travellingbee 2794221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first son at 35 (no problems conceiving him at all!) and then had trouble conceiving our second. I was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve which meant my old eggs were crappy. I had an early miscarriage at 6 weeks and then the next cycle got pregnant again, only to lose it at 8 weeks. I was extremely upset: frustrated, angry, hormonal, sad, disappointed. We took a break for 2 months and I focused on me. I got myself fit and we went on a beach vacation and then came back and tried again. We did an IUI which didn’t work and then we were going to try one more medicated cycle (clomid) before trying IVF. Well that one worked and he is turning 2 this week. I gave birth to him at 38. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-miscarriage-at-8-weeks#post-2794186 Sat, 30 Dec 2017 07:05:13 +0000 Alba4 2794186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m sorry for your loss. It’s so common, yet it feels so isolating when you are going through it.</p> <p>I had two mc. The first at 8 weeks, then DS1, the second at 11 weeks, then DS2. I ate well and exercised. Hang in there! ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-miscarriage-at-8-weeks#post-2794174 Sat, 30 Dec 2017 01:00:22 +0000 oskarsmommy 2794174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a loss after my first son at 8 weeks. The miscarriage was very drawn out and more emotional (at first I was okay, then little by little i fell apart). We sat out a couple cycles, and then I had a chemical, then got pregnant with my now 9 month old baby. I went very type A on it (I charted, quit caffeine and alcohol, did accupuncture andtook all the herbs). In hindsight I think all that proactiveness wasn’t really necessary - it was just a matter of timing. I was 39 when I delivered him. I’m sorry for where you are at now - but know that one day this will be in the past, and many of us here have been through it and come out the other side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-miscarriage-at-8-weeks#post-2794150 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 21:40:43 +0000 Shantuck 2794150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my son at 31, two losses at 35/36, my daughter at 36, and another loss a few weeks ago at 38. I have a diminished ovarian reserve so I had an RE tell me that it was going to be a perseverance game for me due to egg quality issues. After my first two losses (before conceiving my daughter), I personally felt better jumping back into trying and being proactive about achieving the family I’d wanted but everyone is different and some people just need to take some time to grieve. We haven’t decided whether we’re going to try again after this recent loss because my last two losses have involved d&amp;c’s, which have been hard. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through so much in your quest to have a family. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-miscarriage-at-8-weeks#post-2794148 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 21:33:50 +0000 periwinklebee 2794148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really sorry for your loss :heart: </p> <p>I found acupuncture was helpful for helping me to carve out space to relax and process my feelings after my loss, and it had the added benefit of helping my cycle to regulate. I was able to find a group place near where I live that was very affordable. I did end up having another (earlier) loss but I think having processed and come to terms with my feelings about the first loss helped me to cope and recover more quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-miscarriage-at-8-weeks#post-2794137 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 20:39:17 +0000 Pollywog 2794137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost one at 9 weeks, had a CP the following month, then conceived my 22 month old. I was a lot less naive in my subsequent pregnancy. I knew anything could happen at any point and didn't let myself bond with the baby until he was born (not healthy). I think having fear is normal and you just find a way to cope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-miscarriage-at-8-weeks#post-2794133 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 20:19:00 +0000 ElbieKay 2794133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. I have had three miscarriages, all around 7-8 weeks, and I have been trying for two years to have a second child. I got my fifth bfp on the 2-year anniversary of getting my IUD removed, and now I am back at the 8w mark. My miscarriages all had issues with finding a heartbeat at 6w, so I feel a lot of relief to make it to this stage. But I just found out that this pregnancy is identical twins which makes it a high risk pregnancy (not to mention the insanity that will follow the birth!).</p> <p>Anyway, I think all you can do is remember that the only thing you can do is try again. The monthly tww sucks and makes you feel like you are on a constant rollercoaster.</p> <p>It is a totally legitimate choice to stop trying, or just take a break, if you think the stress is too much for you. Maybe you need some time to process your grief and regroup. You have time before you need to decide on next steps anyway.</p> <p>Do you have the option to get an analysis of your miscarriage? I did this for my last miscarriage, and it helped to know that my baby had a trisomy disorder (#6) that is incompatible with life. So there is nothing I could have done to reverse the course of what happened.</p> <p>Hugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-miscarriage-at-8-weeks#post-2794131 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 20:09:10 +0000 Yellowstar 2794131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found out this week that we lost our 2nd baby at 8 weeks. To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement.</p> <p>I’m almost 36 yrs old and after 11 years of trying, we had our daughter 18 months ago. While it was a shock to conceive her and we had stopped “trying so hard”, I had an amazing pregnancy and labor with her and she’s healthy and happy.</p> <p>We want to try again after a full cycle but I’m terrified. How do you process the fears and anxiety? I’m not sure I could handle another loss but at the same time, I don’t want the fear to keep me from possibly welcoming another healthy baby.</p> <p>I welcome any advice, stories and experiences. Thank you in advance! </p>
