How long did it take you to get pregnant after a TFMR?

[LiliGhekiere]

Hello

I lost my little Tom at 18 weeks to prune belly syndrome. I have had 3 periods since, the last one having stated this morning. It is only the second cycle we are trying, but I can't help to feel totally and utterly desperate. His due date is 25 November, I was hoping to get pregnant before then (I know there is still a chance). I have always got pregnant very fast in the past (1st pregnancy I had a miscarriage, then my son Elliott, then my poor little angel Tom), so I guess I have high expectations. My womb feels so empty, it just hurts so much. I know no baby will ever replace Tom, but I am just longing to give love and attention to a living baby. Thanks.

@LiliGhekiere Firstly, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your wee Tom 💐 I lost my wee boy, John at 18 weeks last summer and I feel as though I could have written a lot of your post myself. I felt (and still do at times) completely empty and just desperate to be pregnant again. A new baby will, of course, never replace your beautiful boy but he would have shown you how ready you were for another baby and so I completely understand how you feel ❤️

I may not be the best person to speak to as I'm now on cycle 15 since our loss, however if it eases your worries at all I have joined several groups this last year and dozens of women were able to conceive again with no issue, and statistically there is no link between a late loss and issues with fertility. I'm sure it will be your time again before you know it ❤️

Meantime, please take some time for yourself - have time to relax, do things that help your mental well-being and make you as happy as you can be given what you're going through. I didn't, and it's been a very difficult road which is only now getting easier now that I've learned to be kinder to myself. Lots of love to you x

So sorry for what you’re going through, I’ve recently suffered a tfmr as well and it’s horrible 😔 I can’t help answer your question but just wanted to let you know you’re not alone x
