TTC after miscarriage

Hi,

I'm TTC after a mmc in August & just wondered if anyone else was in the same boat?

I got my period this morning after the hopeful feeling of some lovely Xmas news & feeling a bit low tonight!

This is my 4th cycle since the mc, well day one of cycle 5 I suppose!

I already have one DD who is 8, so whilst I'm totally grateful to have her and she's getting me through, I'm starting to lose a bit of hope of it happening again.

Sending you a big hug Flowers

I had 2 miscarriages (one was a mmc) back in 2019/2020 when my eldest was almost 4. I was so heartbroken & never thought it would happen for me, but it did and my youngest was born in March 2021.

Don't lose hope xx

Hi ! I had a MC back in April and not a peek of a line since ! It’s been so stressful but this month we have taken the relaxed approach and only DTD once days before O ! I’m 33 TTC my first x

I'm in the same boat, on my 4th cycle after my mmc in July/Aug, been tracking on the premom app but we are almost mid 30s and its so disheartening.

I had a miscarriage in November and just started my first period. I'm going to try again this cycle and see what happens but I'm already worrying about it not happening! Xx

Thanks @Anon1621, I'm trying to keep hope but I think my period just got me down this month!

Sorry for everyone's losses Flowers

I'm 33 too, DH late 30s. With DH late 30s and DD being 8 I feel like we've left it a bit late now!

I'm tracking too, but trying not to stress myself too much (although that's not happening)
Thankfully cycles went back to normal pretty much straight away after MC & all looked ok on my scan following it so there doesn't seem to be any issues.

It's hard all the time but seems to be worse at this time of year! x

Hi, sorry for your loss OP 😞

I had a MMC in July and got pregnant again in October but unfortunately I lost it with another MMC detected in an early pregnancy reassurance scan at 7 weeks. I had surgical management last week. I'm going to take a break for a few months now as I was hell bent on getting pregnant again after the first MMC and my immune system is so run down.

I wish you lots of luck ❤️

Try not to worry too much about age - I was 33 when DS1 was born and 38 with DS2.

It is more difficult at this time of year. Especially with the added pressure of feeling like you have to be happy at Christmas etc. I came off all social media for a while to try & give myself a break.

That all sounds positive if the scans were good & your cycle has gone back to normal x

It's like a horrible club to be in isn't it!
I understand the need to take a break, it can all get a bit overwhelming and I think that sometimes you need to think of the mental impact its having on you too.
I'm still not very good about speaking about it to anyone and don't know if that helps or hinders me.

Social media break is a good idea too, I think I might do that. I know on christmas day there's going to be some baby announcements & whilst I'm trying really hard to be happy for everyone, selfishly I don't want to see it & ruin my own day for DD.

Im 34 and ttc baby no.3 I have an 8 and 6 year old but feel like our family isnt complete especially since the loss. Its so hard isnt it 😔

It’s comforting to hear all you ladies stories. Sorry to hear about all your MC. It’s sucks doesn’t it.
Well I’ve got a bfn at 9dpo, I know it’s early but I just know it’s not my time again. I had no sore boobs this month when I usually do after O up until AF , kept me hopefully but I really don’t think I . Keep positive ladies we will get our babies 🩷
