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? I'm ok. I'm optimistic because the doctors seems hopeful and confident I'll be pregnant soon. I wish it would just hurry up and happen.



Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): ttc, cycle...13? 1 AL


Diagnosis (if applicable): all my tests look perfectly perfect, so nothing.


Updates/questions: I'm honestly really feeling like it's going to happen soon. I believe this is going to happen for me. Of course then other days I feel like it's never going to happen.


Debbie downer (a place to vent): Well as you all know, ttc is horrible, losing pregnancies is atrocious. I feel my losses are very raw and I don't really feel better about any of it. I'm so used to various flavors of heartbreak and it's become my normal.

Yogurt I'm sorry the pain of loss is still so raw for you. I don't imagine that it ever really goes away. But I'm glad you're feeling so hopeful! It would be wonderful to see you get out of here soon.

Diagnosis (if applicable): NA



Updates/questions: RE appointment on July 12th



Debbie downer (a place to vent ) : This is the time of year I have been pregnant. Twice. Last summer I was pregnant. It wasn't until September that we knew we wouldn't be having our baby. So I started to make silly memories with the baby we would never have. Like I'd be at the park with DD and I'd rub my belly and think "here baby. You're at the park with your sister." And I'd take a mental snap shot because I knew it would be the last time. And I know it's silly. We only made it to second tri and growth stopped long before that. But all those mental snap shots are popping back up now as the weather gets nicer and all I keep thinking is last summer DD had a sibling. She didn't know about it. But she did. And now I don't know that she ever will again. And I was feeling ok about things. And now I'm not.

Thanks. It's just messing with me right now. I'm hoping it gets better as summer goes on.
