When to try

Question

Are there any mamas out there trying to bring a bundle of joy into this world after losing one?
If so, what made you realize or feel like you were ready to try again?

It's been three months, and I know there isn't a timers are on this kind of thing. I just don't know when I will know it's time. I feel it every now and then but then I feel wrong and guilty like maybe it isn't time yet. Like maybe my staring at every baby I see in a store is a sign it not time, or the fact little clothes make me want to cry. I just don't know when, and it's not a time frame but something will show me it's time. . I think. 😞

Answer

We said goodbye to our Bub at 17 weeks because Bub's poor little heart didn't work right and they were very sick. My counselor said something that sticks with me. "Your desire to be a parent/have a child needs to be stronger than your fear, but the fear never goes away."
We are on CD35 of our first cycle trying since we said goodbye. Hoping that AF stays away. I plan to test again on Friday.
I am still afraid, but I am hopeful... I guess that's how you know you are ready.

Answer

Miscarriage in mid July. We waiting one cycle per the doctor and are going to start trying again. I'm scared about having another miscarriage and I miss my child, but my child was never meant for earth and I take comfort knowing I will see him/her again.

Answer

Like I want to but I feel like it's wrong. Like our little one is being replaced if we get another, and I don't want it feeling like that.

Answer

I lost my son at 20 weeks back in June. Hubby and I started sex around 5-6 weeks after and had my first period at 7 weeks. We are "trying" (not using any protection). My period coming in so quickly is sort of a sign that I'm healthy and fertile (I usually have irregular periods and we didn't get pregnant for a few years!)  hoping that maybe I'll be pregnant soon. I say it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong to start trying again. If it makes you happy, go for it. It's not about replacing your loss, it's about having faith and the courage to try again. Don't let a loss or any loss deter you from doing or receiving anything that makes you happy! I know some say to wait when you're emotionally stable, but is anyone ever really? Grieving takes time. Do what in your heart knows is best for you. Grieve and try again at the same time if you want. Who cares what other people think. Just remember to not give up and keep praying. I wish you the best of luck for your rainbow baby.

Answer

Its taken me 8 weeks and im still very upset, i cry a lot and im depressed but i have come to terms with my angel baby. I will always remember my loss and always hurt, but im ready to be a mom. My next pregnancy will be a new one. New baby, new soul. I dont think my miscarriage was a sign or lesson, i think it just didnt work out 😔😔 but i cant let that hold me back from something ive wanted my entire life and been kinda trying for 2 years but got serious about it 8 months ago.

Answer

I had my miscarriage in February. It was my 1st pregnancy and 1st loss. We are currently in the 6th month of trying and no luck yet. I get scared all the time thinking that if I get pregnant it will happen again. But try to think positive. I'm still not over our loss and decided to get tattoo's as a remembrance. We lost our baby at 8 weeks and 5 days when I was supposed to be 11 weeks exactly. I had a late appointment and we found out baby didn't have a heart beat during the 1st and only appointment. We started trying again after the bleeding had stopped from the miscarriage. Which was sometime in the middle of March. So about a month or so. We got the go ahead to try again as soon as we wanted. But the doctors will tell you what's best. Sorry for your loss and baby dust to you and all of us trying to conceive our rainbow babies.

Answer

I've had three consecutive losses, most recently in June. We started actively trying again this month, because at this point I don't want to wait any longer as our daughter is almost 4 already.
