Is it true that having a successful pregnancy improves your fertility?
I've had problems conceiving and keeping the pregnancy going (multiple MC's). Last year had another go with Clomid (I was bordering on a mental breakdown by that point as my options were starting to narrow down), and progesterone pessaries + Clexane + baby aspirin after BFP (one twin loss later) - we are parents!
My fertility didn't improve in any shape or form after my miscarriages, so the theory that a pregnancy kicks things into right gear didn't apply to me, hence the specific title.
We love being parents. Bloody exhausted but it's so been worth all the heartache and perseverance over the last decade. Feels like it never happened.
I'm tentatively allowing myself to daydream of another little bundle of screaming joy, but am extremely anxious to even go there.
Which is why I'd like to know if any of you have had similar experience? Would really appreciate you sharing.
If anyone's ran a marathon before (without being the athlete you'd like to be) - you'll know what I mean when I say - now I've done it and know what it takes, mentally it's hard to push yourself to go through it all again. Worst that can happen during a run is you simply don't finish, or you walk etc., but here both mental and emotional health is put through a massive endurance test when you're struggling with fertility / miscarriage issues.
Does it get better? Is it worth a go? We don't have the luxury of another decade, sadly, which is why it'd be helpful to know if it's even worth entertaining the idea of TTC.
Thank you thank you thank you
