TTC After Loss

TTC After Loss



When can we try to conceive after a loss?

Making the decision to conceive after the loss of a pregnancy can be stressful for many couples. Feelings of anxiety, hope, fear and anticipation are all common. Whether a prior pregnancy was lost as a result of miscarriage, stillbirth or some other reason, there are others who can relate to the feelings you have.

It is recommended that couples wait atleast three to six months before trying to conceive another child. This time will give your body time to heal from the previous pregnancy, as well as gain emotional control of the feelings that have occured as a result of the loss. Because the uterus needs time to recover and the endometrial lining needs time to gain strength, it is wise to wait atleast three menstrual cycles before trying to conceive.

A couple may want to seek medical help if they have experienced two or more miscarriages, are over the age of 35, have a chronic illness or infection that could affect the outcome of pregnancy or have fertility complications.

Because of the fears that will be associated with becoming pregnant again, it is only natural to be scared, paranoid and cautious during another pregnancy. You might want to consider waiting to make preparations for the baby's arrival. Some couples are not ready to purchase baby items and get the nursery decorated just right until very late in the pregnancy, or even after the baby is born. Doctors are generally very open to the suggestions and requests of their patients, especially those that have suffered a loss in the past. Ask your caregiver to monitor you more closely and if necessary, request additional tests or procedures to help put your mind at ease.

SOOOOO, No Ro I would never come to work tipsy- two glasses of wine just made me really sleepy and after working a graveyard shift then sleeping two hours, going on another graveyard is killing me.

How was the date Butter darling? Does sound like a really good idea, every time i get to go out with hubbs we end up meeting a mate or two, really must try the romantic date bit! EM - Awwww! Note to self - do not take hubbs for granted and get cross when he is under my feet and making a mess all the time cos it would suck to have him gone for 6 months!

DAN praying for a 52hcg :) aim high baby aim high! Woot woot. RED I bake the cookies for friends n family cause I don't like sweets but they are so pretty :) BLESSED so sorry love. I wish I could make the tears stop. Our babies r playing together. I'm sure of that. Xx DANI you can usually find the ginger in the bulk food section at any grocery store here in Canada anyways. ROCH Jonathan is the super sweet outdoorsy guy that I met on plenty of fish when I first joined a while back. He asks the most interesting questions n we were going to go out last Friday but he was called out to work. Just waiting to see when works for the both of us this coming week :) Still lookin for my keeper ;)

BLESSED - hugs hun sorry about that awful reminder I hope she comes and goes quickly! OK so about the gall stones how many blockages did you have? I get them often where I am killed over in agonizing pain for about 5 to 30 mins and then its over but every once in awhile I have to get to the hospital bc the pain is so bad I stop breathing...I know that they cant kill you but I also am affraid to have that out while ttc Id rather be miserable then risk mc or missing getting pg! CAN - Jonathin what how did I miss this one? What day are you just curious? MARIE - tipsy eh well I havent been tipsy in about 7 years the religion I believe in sugests that it is not something I participate in but I remember the days...EM - hows the house spotless yet? I bet you are so excited to see DH and sleep in your own place DAN - really did you go to the hospital? ugh they are misserable I had my apendix out and I swear that gall stones are worse by far!

redheadmama - 6 hours ago.
EM- that's awesome about Oing late! cuz I know you'll try to catch it. lol. in my body's news... think I O'ed today too. not actually quite sure how I feel about that. wasn't exactly expecting it... but yeah. so we'll see what happens with that. I love your excitement, by the way. makes me happy. :) ROCHELLE- one of my friends from church gets gallstones with pregnancy, and during her latest pg it got so bad that as soon as she delivered she had the gallbladder removed. she is much happier now!! :) MARIE- I cracked up about the stone in a cup! lol. unfortunately, I woke up DS who was sleeping in the playpen next to my bed. hmmm... need to type and laugh more quietly... :) DANI- praying for your hcg tomorrow!!! just remember that the old adage of 'doubling every 2 days' is not always necessary. 2-3 days is normal, and up to 4 even. but heck, we're hoping for a 50 for you okay!!! :) (((hugs))) CAN- love baking cookies. oh gosh, yummmm. my mom made scones this morning and DS and I each had one. so good. with coffee and steamed milk. and right now I am eating ice cream. Baskin Robbins baby. who cares about my freaking waistline? not me! lol. BUTTER- how was the date honey?? I'm guessing pretty good, since you've seemed pretty, uuuhhh, busy all day. :) loves ya. AVERYS- hey pretty girl! thinking of you lots. sending love. BLESSED- I am so incredibly sorry. so very sorry. I just don't know what else to say. (((((hugs)))))

Well, AF is here. I guess instead of having a baby this week (I was due on the 25th) - I get to have AF instead. What a great reminder. I am hoping the crying stops soon. I need to remember to get up, dust myself off, and start all over again.

CAN -- have fun with jonathan!

RO -- I had my gull bladder taken out when I was10 years ago (when I was 25) and very skinny. I totally did not fit the profile of a person who needed their gull bladder out. My doctor was shocked. I feel much better since having it out! It is way worth it! I had it done lap. and I didn't think it was going to hurt, but it hurt pretty bad for a few days afterwards! Good luck!

CAN - you really make me giggle. where can you get sugared ginger pieces... sounds yummy. Well i am going to bed, lovely ladies. I have to get hcg (and i think prog) tomorrow morning.
