TTC after loss - frustrated, hopeless, looking for advice, support, understanding

[AnonymousUser101]

Myself and my husband started ttc last year and fortunately fell pregnant in our second cycle trying but sadly had a mmc and we lost our baby.

We have been trying again since December 2025 and just having no luck at all. We’ve had 4 cycles now and I’ve got my period every time. It feels like it’s taking forever and also so disheartening every month and just feels like it’s never going to happen again. I started using ovulation strips this month aswell, we both take conception vitamins.

At this point it’s just so frustrating, stressful, upsetting and we both just want a baby so badly but I feel like I lose hope each month that goes by and I get my period.

Im just looking for some advice, support, understanding. My husband just keeps saying ‘don’t think about it’ ‘It will happen’ but it just doesn’t help and he just doesn’t get it.

So sorry you’re going through this! Had precisely the same experience 2 years ago (got pregnant easily, MMC at 12 weeks, 5 months later still not pregnant.) don’t think I’ve ever been so miserable in my life, felt like everything was in limbo while we waited for our baby and couldn’t think about anything else. MMCs are the worst.

BUT on the 6th month I did get pregnant — didn’t change anything, was not in any way relaxed 😂 — and that pregnancy resulted in our wonderful son who’s now 15 months. (Also now 6 weeks pregnant on first try with our second 🤞)

it was all so so worth the wait and I promise you you’ll get through this and come out the other side happier than ever. Good luck x

@Livv94thank you so much for sharing your story, it’s nice to have some understanding and hear positive stories xx

Sending a handhold! In a similar situation after a loss too - it’s so hard isn’t it x

I had a miscarriage in October 25 and still ttc. I have no advice but just wanted you to know you’re not alone. This is the toughest thing I’ve ever gone through. I’m finding it really hard to stay positive. I hope you get your rainbow baby soon 🤞
