hello everybody.i am ttc after a therapeutic abortion on last June .anyone experienced something like this?

[starrsgirl]

I'm so sorry I'm not familiar with therapeutic abortion. I tried to find some help online but I don't know if I'm close. I read that it can be something like a D&C when the pregnancy is affecting the Mom's health. Can you help educate me (and maybe others?) if it's not too painful to talk about?

My thoughts are with you and I am so sorry for your loss! I am tentatively TTC after a D&C last week (well, in one more cycle or so). I don't know about you, but it's a little scary to try to think about doing this again and risking the chance of grief all over again.

hi hun! Sorry to see you here but I might be able to help.

I had a second trimester termination in August. We found out at my 20 week scan that my son did not have any limbs - not even stubs. Not even enough to use prosthetics. (Tetra Amelia). We talked to doctors, radiologists, specialists, geneticists, and no one recommended continuing the pregnancy as the birth defects were too severe for him to have any quality of life what so ever if he survived. I was induced on the 12th at 21 weeks. It was and continues to be the hardest thing I have ever been through in my entire life. The Perinatologist recommended we wait 3 cycles to start trying again and we thought we would wait a year...but here we are, my third cycle should start on Sunday-ish and then we are going to start TTC again. I know how hard it is to get passed the grief of losing a child - and then there is guilt on top of it. And what-if's. But! You can't let yourself focus on that, you have to just push past it and know that you did the right thing. I don't know how similar our situations are, but I can imagine we're feeling about the same way. !! If you ever need someone to talk to, hun, I'm here

I am so sorry that you had to have this type of abortion, hate the fact that they even refer to it as an abortion.

I am pregnant after having a d & c which is about the same procedure. It's obviously still painful for you so lots of cyber hugs to you.

Are you just now starting to try or have you been trying since? Some women get pregnant right away and go on to have healthy babies and others take more time. It took my dh and I nearly 18 months, but I needed to lose weight.

I hope you get your bfp soon but if not, keep track of your cycles and make sure to talk to your doctor.

Wish you the best hun.

Oh Hun...sorry for your loss. That must have been an incredibly hard decision to make...

I am so sorry you went through all that. I lost 2 babies at 17w pg from fetal demise and I got pg 7w after my first loss at 17w and had a healthy baby who is 13 months old.

I am currently ttcing after last loss at 17w in April. I really wish you all the best and a speedy BFP.

ETA: I had a d&c after both times to remove retained placenta.
