Anyone ttc in 2024 after loss?

[janey125N]

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.

Hello all, I'm so sorry for everyone's losses ❤️

I had a MMC in November, it ended at around 6 weeks but I was 11 weeks when the bleeding started. It took another 3.5 weeks to confirm everything had passed, so I'm just waiting for my first AF now.

We're planning to TTC in 2024, probably from March onwards though as we're getting married in November.

I was told by the EPAU that I would be offered progesterone if I get pregnant again as I also had a chemical pregnancy in November last year.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

@HeathenPlayingHouse

We are twins in terms of both trying from march
Also sorry to hear of your losses

@worldwidetravel2017 Sorry for your loss. Wishing you well health wise and sending you luck for when you start trying again xx

Thank you

Had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago still haven’t ovulated when do you think I will I’m testing daily at the moment

@christmasmistletoe 4 many the miscarriage bleeding turns into / is kinda counted as a period

@worldwidetravel2017 so I bled for a week ish and normally ovulate just after my period ends but haven’t do you think the miscarriage can delay it ?

Deffo can

@worldwidetravel2017 thank you for replying im new to this and desperately wanting to just try again

Have you spoken to tommys baby charity ?
Often good to get your thyroid tested after miscarriage - they often advise it

No I haven’t I will take a look on there website

Happy New Year ladies! Let's hope 2024 is kinder to us.

Is anyone planning to try anything different with this round of TTC? I feel like I'm tying myself in knots a bit about worrying that I've not looked after myself over past few weeks eating all the Christmas food and drinking alcohol. But I really felt like I needed it after medical management at beginning of December! You hear so much about egg health and not sure I've been doing myself any favours. Also not sure if I should be trying different supplements beyond standard pre pregnancy vitamins. Lots of people say they didn't do anything different after MC, the next one just stuck. I think I'm praying that's me.

One thing we have decided to do is get some private tests done to see if there is anything underlying as to why we might be having difficulties this time round. Feels like a positive step in a strange way.

@Hopingrae I think I've tried almost everything over the years, when I've got pregnant it's been 4-5 months after I've started being more active and eating a better, more nutritious diet. By being more active I mean in general getting my steps up and choosing activities which mean I move around more, nothing extreme! So I'm going to cut back on the sugary treats, crisps etc but never eliminate them completely otherwise I end up bingeing on that stuff after a while anyway!

@moosey89 that's what I'm going to try and do too, be more active and make healthier choices. We're out of all the Christmas wine now, so that'll help! I know I'll feel better in general doing this, not just for TTC, so it's a bit of extra motivation. Haha totally agree with you about cutting things out completely, I'd scoff loads after a few days off!
I'm currently CD4 but it's first AF after MC so not sure how my cycle will go this month!

I’m taking maca root folic acid vitamin d and just in general trying to be more healthy with water intake and choosing better food options. Not taken maca root until after my miscarriage so no idea if it will help.

Taking vit D :)
And FA

And lotsa fruit n veg

And have exercise bike

My health really is not the best. I have a really demanding job, and since my misscarriage I am at least a stone heavier. I was already over weight also. I’m 37 and I feel like I don’t recognise myself anymore. I’m not sure what it is but I seem to have zero accountability to myself. This month is cycle one and tonight I got on the peloton for the first time in a really long time. Small steps is better than no steps right?

Small steps are what its all about
Well done u

I’ve got two positive ovulation tests one today and one last night. Was very worried it would take ages after a miscarriage

I am so so sorry for your loss, I lost my baby at 10 weeks just before Christmas and I feel I just want to be pregnant again and I'm struggling with how long that might take if it'll happen at all. I'd like to join this thread please.

I lost my twin boys at 29 weeks - 2 months ago. One stillborn my other son died 4 days later. I'm trying again and currently 7dpo. Have back pain and sore breasts so feel like my period is coming. Feeling quite sad to think it's a period. Hoping 2024 will be a better year.

So sorry to hear of your losses
So hard

@Ella31 wow, I cannnot even begin to imagine. I thought 16 weeks was tough enough. Did you ever find a possibility as to what happened?

Yes it twin to acute twin transfusion syndrome - rare at my stage of pregnancy. Gut wrenching as we were only 6 weeks away from my Elective Section. Only positive side is there's nothing to prevent it and its rare. Nothing to do with me or me trying again. Just so worried it won't happen for us again. Ive had two miscarriages and now this double neonatal loss in the last year and half.
