Just struggling a bit

[Twoyearwait]

I’ve been TTC my second child for nearly two years and in that time I’ve had a TFMR (Edwards diagnosis) at fourteen weeks and a MMC detected at 11 weeks. Just got my period again yesterday and as much as I try to stay positive I feel really down this time. I seem to get pregnant okay, eight months the first time and five months the second time, so I don’t know if any treatment would help. I know no-one can help me but I just needed to acknowledge how I’m feeling. Sending lots of love to anyone in the same boat and especially to those who have been trying way longer and had even more heartbreak. It’s such a rough ride.

I'm sorry to read you are suffering right now love. I was reading a sad post earlier and it made me reflect on what a sad and difficult journey this is for some people. I have an eventful fertility history but I have three growing children to show for it so I am beyond thankful. Currently trying for my fourth with a new partner and I'm worried we will struggle because I'm much older this time. My youngest is fourteen so it's been a while and I had a chemical in July. I'm just trying to remain optimistic and trying to trust that if it's meant to be it will be at the time it's meant to happen. Every month when AF arrives I feel deflated though.

Your sorrow is justified lovely. Allow yourself a few down days , rest and try and prioritize yourself and hopefully next month THE month.

There aren’t words ♥️ Have also had a mmc and am waiting for it to get better several months on. Sending lots of love and letting you know you’re not alone in your sadness ♥️

@Twoyearwait I'm so sorry, it sounds like you've been through a lot - you're right, it's important to acknowledge how you're feeling. Sending you hugs and lots of baby dust, and I hope things get better for you soon. You're not alone in this. We can, and must, all support each other on this difficult journey we're on.

You’re all very sweet 💛 it’s just a shit show isn’t it. Sometimes hoping feels like the hardest thing to do. We persevere regardless!

Hi @Twoyearwait … I also lost a baby girl at 17.5 weeks to edwards (I don’t have any living children) .. here I am on cycle 4 after recovering from that ordeal and still it doesn’t seem to be happening for me .. I can completely understand how you’re feeling - losing a baby is the most horrendous thing ever, people tell me it gets easier, im not sure if this is true I don’t know if you ever fully get over it; but atleast you’re so blessed to have a living child 🤍 so atleast try to find the comfort in that. Everyone says it happens when we least expect it, so I’m sending lots of baby dust your way 💖✨✨✨
