Cycles following 25 week loss

0 replies

Jessrae · Today 08:46

I am currently 10 weeks postnatal following my 25 week loss of my little boy.
i am obviously grieving and miss my baby and being pregnant so much, I wish so much that this wasn’t my life now.
that being said, I am desperate to try again, I was given the go ahead from my consultant that I could try again whenever I feel ready. I feel physically fine and have returned to being active at the gym and walking, which is helping my mental health massively.

i had my first period at 4 weeks postnatal- but I’m now into 40 days of this cycle and nothing!
2 weeks ago I had lots of egg white cervical mucus and was convinced I had ovulated ( I didn’t do opk testing as I can become quite obsessive, and wanted to not put pressure on myself) I’ve had 3 BFN and still no period!
i am wanting to see my GP to see if they can give me some progesterone to restart my cycle, but not sure if they will as will just fob me off for being postnatal.

I am a Midwife and have full maternity leave following my loss luckily- i genuinely do not feel like I can return to work later this year and be in that environment without being pregnant.
The thought of having to work day in and day out of where my trauma lies is just too much to bare at the moment.

Just to add- my little boy had major heart defects detected at his 20 week scan- nothing chromosomal or genetic, hence why I have been told I can try again as soon as I wish.

Any advice?
