TTCAL 4/3

[sammysam]

The Trying to Conceive After a Loss thread is posted once a week (generally on Tuesday) for those of us who have unfortunately experienced a loss. No matter what type of loss you've experienced, from miscarriage to stillbirth to the loss of a child, it is heartbreaking. This thread is to help us commiserate, get support, and to try to navigate trying to conceive, after a loss, every week.

Out of respect to all the ladies here, please add a trigger warning if you decide to talk about any living children and please hide your signature if it contains pictures or tickers of babies or children. We also kindly ask for grads to refrain from commenting in this thread.


If you get a BFP, kindly either spoiler alert it or do not post it here at all.


**If this is your first check-in, and you would like to provide a gtky loss history intro go for it. If not, no worries!**

How are you doing? Increasingly freaked out


Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC


Diagnosis (if applicable): unexplained 2IF


Updates/questions: not much, in the TWW of our first IUI cycle.


Debbie downer (a place to vent): 5dpo after my first IUI. I'm beginning to get more and more freaked out that I might get a bfp and that means that I might lose another pregnancy. Overall I'm just scared, scared of a bfn and scared of a bfp.

I'm sorry you're feeling scared about what ever news is on its way charliefox. AL brain is a bitch and I hope you get happy news soon.

[purple]

I'm sorry, charliefox. As Yogurt says, AL brain is a bitch and never leaves you alone. We'll be here to hold your hand aa much as you need.

charliefox Sorry you're feeling this way. But try to remember that a BFP could also lead to a baby:) This group is due for some more grads soon so I hope hope hope this is your month and that when you do see a BFP that you'll be able to feel some hope and happiness...and that hopefully at some point the fear will dissipate.

How are you doing? OK. Trying to remain optimistic at all times. I have a feeling again that this won't be the month but I'm still feeling good about our next few cycles. Once I'm in the TWW and test date draws nearer I'm sure I'll start symptom spotting and get all crazy like I do every month.



Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC



Diagnosis (if applicable): NA



Updates/questions: Getting my pap in a couple of hours so I'm going to talk to my doctor about a referral to an RE.



Debbie downer (a place to vent ) : I'm good. Like I said above, I'm not feeling this month...but months that I was feeling really confident and sure didn't get me pregnant either so I guess feelings don't have much to do with it either way. EOD starts Friday...but I'll probably make it every day until the end of my FW. Because I put a tentative end date on things SO is super motivated to get it done before the time is up. I told him I would get us a referral to an RE anyways and he was pretty happy about that. So things are good. I'll see what my doctor says today and we can go from there.

How are you doing? After more than a week of illness I finally feel okay again, just a bit tired.

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC

Diagnosis (if applicable): N/a

Updates/questions: None.

Debbie downer (a place to vent ) : Well, it's still my fw so this month is back in the running. I don't think it'll be this month, though. I'm still optimistic for some time in the next few months. I've got these blood tests on the 16th, and my smear test (which I think you call a pap?). So this month is for health checks. I want to be as healthy as possible going into pregnancy, since my pregnancies are high risk even outwith the loss factor.

Taking care of yourself is always important!

How are you doing? Pretty good. I finally got cleared to TTC again! My liver and spleen are looking good. We are trying to buy a house and we want to wait until we’re settled to try but it’s looking like we’ll start TTC in just 4-5 months.



Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTA



Diagnosis (if applicable): PID related fertility issues.



Updates/questions: next cycle I’m going to start temping again.



Debbie downer (a place to vent ) : I’m excited to finally be cleared and healthy again but I’m incredibly nervous about starting to TTC again.

[sammysam]

Radley Yay for being cleared to start TTC!
