New to this board... I have been lurking around & finally feel brave enough to post. DH and I have been TTC for the past 7 mths and 3 wks ago, we had a BFP only to m/c a week later due to blighted ovum. This is my 2nd m/c. I lost my 1st at 8 wks with a D&C at 11 wks, 3 years ago. Then I had my DS who's 2.5 now. I feel like I am at a loss of where to go from here. I am so afraid to get PG again... how long have people waited to TTC again? I am kind of at the point of debating whether I really want to have another child. We have 1 and I am very blessed but am so tired of going thru this emotional battle, nonetheless physical stress.
Also, side question - has anyone used progesterone while TTC? they did prescribe me Prometrium when I was spotting while carrying my DS and I am beginning to think progesterone might help again.
Thanks all for your words of wisdom...

I am so sorry for your loss. It is understandable to be hesitant to TTC again. Especially because of the emotional and physical struggle of a loss.
We are NTNP right now, who knows if we will full on TTC.
Best of luck.

So sorry to hear of your losses. I'm in a similar situation, loss, baby, loss. The thing that keeps me wanting to try again is how awesome my DD is and how much I would love to give her a sibling. I plan on trying again as soon as possible. Good luck if you do decide to try again.

I'm sorry for your losses! How long to wait is very dependent on how far along you were when you m/c and your own mental state.
I know for me I keep going because I really want to give my DS a sibling, and I just feel like our family is not complete. I know that in the end, all the stress, emotional turmoil and pain will be worth it.

I'm so sorry for your losses  I can't really help you as we are still trying to conceive and keep our first. All I can tell you is that I hope that you will soon find the answer you need.

((HUGS)) Welcome to the board. I am very sorry for your loss. As far as trying again you can try once you feel emotionally ready. Your body will not get pregnant unless it's ready. And the progesterone can't hurt as long as you do not start it until 3dpo.

I'm so sorry for your losses. I know that pattern well. I'm loss, DS, loss, DD, loss. What keeps me going is the feeling that our family isn't complete. Trust me there are times when I start to think that maybe enough is enough, but I'm not ready to give up. I don't know if I ever will be. I would start trying again when you feel emotionally ready to do so. I agree with Katie on the progesterone.

So sorry for your losses. The ladies here are great, but we hope you have a short and sweet stay so you can move over to PAL. I don't really have any advice to give since I just had my first loss recently, but I just wanted to send some well-wishes.

I'm so sorry for your losses. You should wait to TTC until you feel emotionally and physically ready. The timeline is different for every person. For myself, I knew I wanted to try again as soon as my body was ready. We waited two cycles, and are planning to TTC this month.

Sorry to hear about your loss... It really is an emotional roller coaster and TTC again is always scary because you never know... But that's the thing you never know... It's the "What if" that gets me going.....
Thinking of you and this board really helps...

Hi and welcome! I'm so sorry for your losses and totally understand your anxiety. I waited until my first post-m/c AF showed up even though my doctor wanted me to wait 3 months. It really depends on when you are emotionally ready. I hope that the rollercoaster isn't too bumpy for you and you get a sticky BFP soon!

Welcome to the board. I am so sorry for your losses. I waited 6 months after my first loss to TTC again and after my second loss we stopped TTCAL. It was just to hard of a road to travel for our family. We have two healthy children before our losses. We counted our blessings and moved forward. Things changed but you have to take time to heal and decide what you really want/need. This is a great board for support. I pray that if you decide to keep trying you get a stickie bean quickly.
Many ladies have used progesterone with great results.
