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!**

Debbie downer (a place to vent ) : TW: losses

Coming up to the second anniversary of finding we'd lost Gracie, and of my near death experience four days later. This week last year we moved out of our old house, and on the anniversary itself we had a surprise BFP. Since we went on to lose the twins, this year feels like a double whammy. I am not looking forward to it.

So many hugs, purple, be kind to yourself.

Debbie downer (a place to vent): The closer we get to June (my edd) the worse I feel. July is the anniversary of my 1st loss, August will mark 2 years TTC... so not really looking forward to the next few months.

[sammysam]

Sorry purple . I wish there was something I could say to make any of this easier.

[sammysam]

charliefox I have so much hope that this cycle gets you out of here. Sorry the summer months have so many bad associations but I honestly believe you'll be out of here well before July hits.

[sammysam]

How are you doing? OK. Pissed about weight stuff but otherwise ok.

Updates/questions: Still waiting on a call for an appointment with an RE.



Debbie downer (a place to vent ) : I am just going to treat every cycle from now on like it is going to be THE cycle. So trying to be positive. I feel better and so much less stress since we passed our EDD. I've decided I'm going to just be confident that it will happen for us. I just have to be patient.

That being said SO turned 51 last week. I Googled male fertility after 50.

I shouldn't have:/

But staying positive none the less.

purple I’m so sorry. That sucks.

charliefox I’ll be thinking of you. Loss anniversaries are the worst.

sammysam NO DR. GOOGLE!!

ETA: purple Many hugs to you during your loss anniversaries too.

How are you doing? Pretty good. Tired though. Poor diet and rough AF cramps are getting to me this cycle.

Debbie downer (a place to vent ) : ***TW LC mentioned***
My baby fever is on high this month. It’s killing me how badly I want this right now. And my sis and my husband’s BFF had children in the last two months. So lots of baby snuggles but I’m definitely feeling some sadness and baby fever.

[sammysam]

Radley Sorry for the rough AF. I totally feel you on the bad diet lately though:/ And baby fever sucks. Luckily I don't have it as badly as I did in the past...Likely because part of me is still terrified of getting KU again.

purple charliefox I'm sorry for the shitty reminders. My edd was Christmas (or 12/29 depending on what app) and now I feel like that will be a downer/ruined forever. I'm sorry, it's just terrible.
