TTC after second or third trimester loss

Hi, I thought I would start a thread to see if there’s anyone who has had a second or third trimester loss and is TTC or will be in the next few months.

I was pregnant until a few weeks ago where i sadly lost my so wanted baby at 20 weeks. It’s a horrible pain. We’ve decided to wait until April to TTC so that we can grieve our baby and try to heal mentally and physically. It’s difficult as I really just want my current baby, but my body is also aching to have a living child in my arms.

I’ve now had my first period since the loss and i’ve started tracking so i can start to understand my cycle post loss.

Hi all, a sad update from me. We found out yesterday at 12 weeks that baby had no heartbeat (went in for an emergency scan as I started spotting a tiny bit - this is how the last miscarriage started).
I’ve decided to go down the medical management route. However this time I have to do it at home as it’s earlier (last time I stayed in hospital for 2 days). I’ve taken the first pill, and taking the pessaries tomorrow morning which I am dreading.

I had hoped it would be a happier outcome this time around. I think this might be the end of my TTC journey, not sure I can go through this again, especially after really bad first trimesters with vomiting each time.

Wishing you all the best of luck, do keep us updated.

I am so so sorry for your loss, that is so devastating 😞 please take care of yourselves, don't make any final decisions right now. Grieve and take the time you need. Of course it's completely understandable if once you've had that time, you still feel the same way.

We've not had a great round, despite 10 eggs and 7 fertilizing, we've only been left with 2 blasts to send for PGT, so the chance of this cycle producing a usable embryo is incredibly small. We're mentally preparing for the next round already really, which is our final NHS funded round, and would be our final round overall as we can't afford to pay privately x

I’m am so, so sorry @i123i. Absolutely heartbreaking update. Please be kind to yourself. I hope that you have lots of support and kindness around you. ❤️

I am so sorry @i123i. Such heartbreaking news. Are you getting the support you need from those around you? I hope the physical side of things is manageable.

I completely understand why you’re saying you’re done with TTC, but don’t put pressure on yourself to even think about that yet. Maybe you will still feel that your journey is over in a few weeks, but maybe you won’t. Either way, you have our support 💐
