Anyone ttc in 2024 after loss?

Lost my perfect little baby at the end of October. I was 15 weeks, baby was gone since 13 weeks. Planning to start ttc again in January. I am devastated and finding it hard to cope. Also extremely nervous about being pregnant again. Yet the need to have a living baby in my arms, outweighs the crippling fear. This little baby was my first too.

@Nic2908 oh wow we're really close together! Yes, we're in this together and everything firmly crossed. I'm curious about if ovulation will be affected/ delayed but guess time will tell.
So sorry there are so many of us here but hopefully we can support each other x

Those of you who already have children please hold them extra tight! I hope one day I can be a mum, it's been a long journey already for me (first time I TTC was 8 years ago). We've started talking about adoption now as it's getting to that point where I can't keep putting myself through it every month x

@Hopingrae in cycle day one today so we will be in it together this cycle. Fingers crossed. I’m 37 so approciate how you are feeling regarding egg quality.

Please can I join? I lost a baby at 16 weeks in March this year. January will be cycle 1 for us to start trying. New year and new start. I’m lucky I have my little boy who has just turned three. If it wasn’t for him I don’t know where I would be. I had no choice but to get up and show up for him every day. I too am petrified, sometimes like is so cruel.

Hi there

I had an early loss at 6 weeks in September. I have one DC aged three and it was our first cycle trying for a second baby. We have tried a little bit since then but not really properly. I'm on CD6 and planning to get properly back into things this cycle. I track BBT and use OPKs.

Would love to join you ladies if that's okay!

I’ve just had a miscarriage at 6 weeks currently testing for ovulation every day so I can try again straight away good luck to you all.

Hi @janey125N @moosey89 I'd love to join you guys on the journey! So sorry for your losses. I've just had 2 MCs in a row. Sooo rubbish. One spontaneously in August at 5.5 weeks and a MMC at 10 weeks on 1st December. AF arrived yesterday and DH and I want to try again straight away so will def be TTC again in Jan!
I'm so lucky to already have a DS who was 2 this month. I also had a MMC before him (with blighted ovum). I'm really hoping it's just been bad luck as each of my MCs have been different. I'm also 39 so guessing eggs aren't as good as once they were! Anyway, that's my story would be lovely to share the journey with you guys x

moosey89 · 30/12/2023 21:26

@janey125N nope, had recurrent miscarriage tests including scans and blood tests and they've all come back normal. Just unlucky I guess!

I'm so sorry for your loss - I'm in the process of trying again since my most recent loss in July (MMC at 10 weeks). Still no living children. I totally understand your fear - for me my worst fear happened and I lost another but whilst I've struggled, I'm still here and still trying. Keep talking to your partner and support network about how you're feeling (and on here too!). Fingers crossed 2024 is the year for both of us x
