TTC after MC - October 2021 thread 20

Hi all, I've been following the old thread but haven't commented - would like to join here too.

I'm TTC #2, DD is 2 next month.

After it took 9 months to conceive DD, I was thrilled to get a BFP on our second attempt for #2 in June. Everything went super well, including seeing a heartbeat at 7 weeks. So it was a shock to discover the MMC at the 12 week scan.

It's been a pretty crappy couple of months, especially as I haemorrhaged during my surgical management and had to have emergency transfusions, but I'm luckily through my first period and I think just starting my TWW... not particularly hopeful as we couldn't DTD as much as we wanted.

It's so hard not to obsess over things now - I keep resenting having to try again, and keep thinking, "I should be 18 weeks now." Oh well...

Hi @Littlebutload so sorry for your loss. Great that you've got the all clear to start trying again. Where I am all the doctors still have the out of date theory that I should wait 6 months before trying again. At the ultrasound where they found my MMC the doctor said I should have waited longer to get pregnant again 🤦🏼‍♀️ (MC end of May/beginning of June, bfp 1st September).

We'll probably wait till after Christmas now to start trying again, or at least until my cycles are back under control and I know when I'm ovulating etc.

Good luck on your journey 💐

Can I join please. Hoping to ttc#2 after miscarriage at 9 weeks in September. It was suspected to be a molar pregnancy so I had a D&c, thankfully it wasn't. My period came back yesterday and I coincidently had an appointment at the hospital and they say I can try again!

@OneDay86 thanks for opening a new thread.

To recap, 36 TTC #2. Had a MC at the June at 7 weeks, and currently going through a MMC at 10 weeks (empty sac on the scan last week).

Thank you all for your lovely messages. Still stuck in limbo hoping that I might miscarry before my scan appointment on Tuesday, I'm spotting more but nothing compared to my last MC so it's looking more likely that I'll need some sort of management at the hospital 😕

@RosieRainbow1986 I still need to talk to my GP at some point over the next few weeks but I'll definitely be asking her about aspirin, Coq10 and DHEA to see what she thinks. Anything we can do to help at this point will be greatfully taken or done 😔

I found this

itstartswiththeegg.com/preventing_miscarriage/

It has some interesting information and a link to a book with further info, so looking to get a copy of the book and have a read.

@OneDay86 thanks for making another thread. I only just joined the last one. So a recap on me is I'm 32 TTC first baby. Trying since February 21. Got pregnant first time but was a chemical. Pregnant again without a period in between but had a mmc at 9 weeks. Cycles been a bit all over the place since and have a consultation to Morris about nk cells testing. Hoping we can be third time lucky as well 🤞🍀🌈
