Waiting for my AF so we can start the TTC process again, after our m/c in June. Is anyone else actively ttc after their loss?
-
We will be TTC asap. I have an appt on Sept 8, which is hopefully around when my next period will start. I'd REALLY like to TTC right after that, but will take my doctor's advice seriously if she thinks we should wait.
It will be a whole different ball game this time. I'm trying to prepare for different emotions.
Good luck to you! I'll be cheering for you
-
We are on our second cycle after a loss, I think I'm one day PO so we may bang it out again tonight just incase
Lots of
to all of us 
-
@travelgirl1: Hahaha. Thanks for phrasing it that way. Made me laugh
-
@Jess1483:
Something may as well be funny about baby making sex -
@Jess1483: I agree. It's definitely a different ball game this time. One I didn't really want to be a part of
I hope everything goes well at your appt and we can get our bfp's soon! @travelgirl1: hahahaha thanks for the laugh!!! FX for you!!
My PPA is still running rampant since my m/c and I'm praying it doesn't affect our chances to get/sustain another pregnancy. I'm such a worrier
-
Speaking of anxiety...does anyone else think there might be a role for a "Pregnant and Anxious as Heck (or whatever)" thread for pregnancy after IF and/or loss? I know I'm going to be a clinical basketcase once we successfully get pregnant again.
-
@FliegepilzHut: Uh heck yes. I feel like I could be the spokesperson. Lol In all honesty, between PPD, PPA, and general depression/anxiety/nerves related to TTC/adoption/IF/loss, I really do think there is a place for it here. If I had known more clearly that PPA was it's own thing to begin with, it wouldn't have taken me over a year to get an actual diagnosis. To have been able to talk to others going through what I did....would have made a huge difference for me.
-
@ValentineMommy: It's been almost 7 months since my MC...but I'm still TTC
@FliegepilzHut: I think there could be a place for anxiety/depression no matter what stage people are in. Simply being female and having hormones seems to make it difficult to be in any stage! But yeah. I was anxious when I was KU before. And now that I've had a loss, I'm sure if it happens again I'll be even more of a basketcase.
-
@ValentineMommy: As much as I'd like to spearhead the effort...sadly, I don't feel "qualified" right now. But maybe I will anyway. Or maybe someone else will? I think it is a bit distinct from Pregnancy after IF, though...
-
@MaryM: That's absolutely true. I remember a group of ladies "venting" about their private anxieties just a week or so ago...
-
There may have been a thread at some point that could be brought back?
-
@spaniellove: I found one...but it was pretty personal (not general) and also Gold...
-
I'm not exactly actively TTC because I can't get pregnant without help. I am actively pursuing embryo adoption. We're mailing our paperwork today and calling the agency we want to work with on the home study.
-
We are! I had a m/c in April and we started back TTC in July.
-
I had a m/c in July and I immediately tried again after AF came back a month later. Fingers crossed...
-
Yup, I am. We had a loss at 7 weeks in June and then a chemical pregnancy my July cycle.
Trying not to let the anxiety get the best of me but it's difficult
-
I'm still bleeding from my MC but will be trying - NTNP until my period arrives anyway.
I'm scared.
-
@MrsStar: I am right there with you.
My doctor said we have the go ahead around October.
-
@FliegepilzHut: Maybe we can have an on-going TTC thread in the sub category "Post Loss"?
Eta: scratch that.. someone might want to post after issues after miscarriage and not see a ttc thread. Maybe we can ask Mr bee to make a "ttc after loss" subcategory for "loss." Just a thought.
-
@simplyfelicity: You were due in March right? Pretty sure we were in the March due date group together. (Really hoping I'm thinking of the right person)
-
@MrsStar: Yes, both Jaguar and I were. I found out at 10 weeks that it was a blighted ovum via ultrasound.
-
@simplyfelicity:
I'm so sorry, I was really hoping we would all make it through til the end.
-
@MrsStar: I was in the March group as well. We had a number of losses out of that group.
-
@Jess1483:
I'm sorry, it sucks that there were so many of us that had losses
-
I'm checking back in and sad to see there are so many of us that have had losses, and many recently....though I am glad for the support and to share this experience with you ladies. I'm scared outta my mind.
-
@MrsStar: I left the group after you did, I think. It certainly wasn't a good month. I'm so sorry for your loss.
-
@Jess1483: Thank you, I have my fingers crossed you'll have a bfp asap
-
We are in our first cycle back with the RE after our m/c in April. It is rough. On top of all the stress and anxiety of just trying to get pregnant again, I'm terrified of what will come after we actually get there again.
And I'm sad that so many of us have this extra layer of fear hanging over the TTC process
-
Actively TTC here, after a 7w m/c in July. I'm about 6w past at this point and have already had one AF. I'm hoping to O any day now and maybe have a bit of luck in this cycle #12....
Kick to the heart today that 2 of the women I know who are due right around my would-have-been EDD announced on FB that they're feeling flutters -
It is so sad that so many of us are anxious and fearful. I had a m/c in April, it took over 2 months to get my period back.
I have been thinking that I'd prefer to know later next time and go to the doctor when there is a chance to see something on the u/s - but let's be honest, I'll POAS latest on the day of expected AF....... -
Yes. I don't know if I still "count" since it's been almost a year since the last mc. This is the longest I've gone without being pregnant since we started trying, 2 1/2 years ago! Ugh!
-
@Keppa:
That genuinely sucks. I really hope that you are announcing your pregnancy soon. It's so hard to be happy for others when their joy reminds you of your pain.((Hugs))
-
Hey all - just stopping back in to see how everyone is. The fact that I didn't get pregnant on the first try is freaking me out (I know, I know). We got preg with DS and our m/c both on the first try. I don't know why, but I've convinced myself that the d&e has ruined my insides and I won't be able to get pregnant again (or sustain one). Sorry all, my anxiety is getting the best of me today as we're entering our second cycle. I could use some encouragement or something.
-
Hi! I'm here after an early CP loss at 4w1d. We didn't skip a cycle (per OB) and am in the thick of O week. I go back and forth on being hopeful to expecting the worst even though I have no real reason to really worry at this point as CPs are common. I've been using a CB fertility monitor and it crapped out on me this morning so I'm nervous about that, but I've also been using wondfos and got a clear positive yesterday and we've been BDing this week, so hopefully the timing was good. Now just some
our way~ to you all!!!!!
-
@ValentineMommy: it's such an emotional roller coaster! I'm the same way in expecting/thinking the worst. It's our first cycle post-CP and I still have days where I think that the CP was a sign of a more serious issue, even though it's SO common and I have no other known issues at this point. Hugs, I hope your worry lessens and you get your BFP soon!
-
@mrsjyw: Thank you!! I hope you get one too!!!!
-
I'm 7 dpo here and really glad I don't have wondfos in the house. Trying to hold off for Saturday.
-
@Jess1483:
-
@ValentineMommy: I'm sorry you are feeling so anxious. I got pregnant with DS and my mc on the first try, so I totally understand the extra worry after not getting pregnant first cycle again. I am trying to tell myself that if I don't get pregnant right away, my body is trying to make sure the next one sticks by preparing extra. I'll let you know how that works. But you WILL get pregnant again. I'm sure enough for both of us.
to all of us 
I hope everything goes well at your appt and we can get our bfp's soon!
