I'm 5 weeks past the d&c and still waiting for AF to show up. The waiting is terrible! My doctor said to wait 3 months to ttc because the risk of another miscarriage is higher right afterwards. I'm not sure that's entirely true. I'm hearing of other people trying right after they get their first cycle back, though. Also, I'm seeing people getting pregnant the cycle right after their miscarriage and everything turns out perfectly. Can anyone give me any advice about that? I really don't want to wait 3 months, but the thought of another miscarriage is just UNBEARABLE.
I'm so thankful that I have this little girl to make me smile!

I know a lot of people who ttc right away and it turned out fine....you are so young and healthy I can't see this happening again.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
I hope that's the case! Thanks Laura!
DeleteWhen I had my D&C it took me months to swallow the pain & try to get back to the way things were...but I tell you, there is always a piece of my heart I can never get back. Three years later, while the depression is gone and with two girls later...I know time heals all wounds but there are days when emotions just sneak up on me. Give yourself some time :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa. You're right, a piece of my heart will forever be gone. Hopefully there are brighter days ahead!
DeleteI am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I also had a miscarriage after my first daughter! I didn't need a D&C (my body miscarried naturally) and my doctor told me to wait at least one cycle. I got pregnant again about three months after my miscarriage and I am now 20 weeks pregnant. I would at least give it two periods to get your body back to it's "norm", but I know how hard it is to wait. I went through the same exact thing you just described. It will happen though and you will have another beautiful, healthy baby!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss as well. Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. And, congratulations on your pregnancy!
DeleteAww, I'm so sorry, sweet friend:( This is just so unfair and I can only imagine the continual pain you're facing. ((HUGE HUGS)) Know that you're in my daily prayers..I know there's no "healing" from losing a child, but I am praying the grieving does begin to lessen more and that you're able to find daily joy again soon. I haven't faced a miscarriage myself but I have a few friends who have, including one I'm extremely close to. I want to say she got pregnant one cycle after her D&C? She has a healthy, beautiful 1-year-old little girl now. And though she's of course overjoyed to have her sweet daughter, I know she does still think about her baby in heaven from time to time; I think that's perfectly normal and more than okay - he/she was your baby!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had better words of encouragement for you. Just know that I am thinking of you and praying for you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Know that I am always here too if you ever want to talk - brittney.mills@gmail.com.
Will be praying for specific blessings on you and your family today! Take care.
You're always so sweet Brittney! I sooo appreciate the comments you leave me. Hopefully I can have the same outcome as your friend. Thanks for being a great friend to me!
DeleteOh I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I really am. I have walked in your shoes, and it was the hardest thing that I have ever been through in my life. I thought about it all the time and it felt like it was consuming my life. It did get better though, and I remember not wanting to try for a couple months because the emotional roller coaster was too much for me. I wanted time to grieve before I could focus 100% on trying again. Just give yourself a little time... Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you had to endure the same thing. It's so unfortunate that so many women have to go through this. Just like you said, I feel like it is consuming my life right now. I need to take a step back and focus on all the good things in my life. Hugs back to you! Thanks so much for the comment.
