Hi. I just lost my baby. But I want to start right away again. Not to replace the baby but to heal a little bit. I've accepted everything, I know looking back he would have went through multiple surgeries on his little heart and he probably wouldn't have made it. As long as he didn't have to suffer, it makes it worth it. He will be watching down and know how much we loved him.

Is that wrong of me?

Welcome to the board, Kristen.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your son.

It's most definitely not wrong of you to want to try again so soon. But it is recommended to wait 1-3 cycles, that way your body has begun to heal itself and you are at peace. I wish you the best of luck.

welcome to this very supportive board kristen.
im so sorry for your loss but what you feel isnt wrong.
we all heal at different stages and in different ways but one thing most of us have in common is the urge to have another baby.
i had losses in feb, june and july and finally started to think it was not going to happen for me until this month when i got my surprise.
i honestly know i could not have got through this year without the support of the girls on here and i pray you find it as helpful and get your bfp soon.

Again, sorry for your loss. My cousin just went through the same thing. They found her baby had a bad heart defect and would only survive in her womb. My son had defects, too. It's horrible to go through.

No it is not at all wrong to want to TTC again right away! My peri said to wait 3 cycles to let my body get back to normal, though, so we decided to wait because I felt like if I didn't wait the three cycles and something went wrong next pregnancy I would blame myself for not waiting.. I know that's probably silly but that's how I felt about it. Anyway hun I wish you a speedy BFP and tons of comfort in this hard time :dothugs:

Welcome Kristen. I think what you are feeling is fairly normal. I was ready to TTC within a week of my loss.

I am sorry for your loss.

Kristen -

I am so sorry for your loss. What you are feeling is completely normal. I wanted to try again right after my loss too. The OB said to wait at least 1 cycle, but honestly we didn't prevent anything ever. It did, however take me 6 weeks to get AF again, and then AF went on for 2 weeks and was quite heavy, so I am thinking it was probably a good thing that we didn't get pg in that first cycle because I'm not sure my body would have been ready.

Good Luck TTC, the girls on this board are fantastic and very supportive.
