Trying again?

Question

My husband and I recently experienced our first pregnancy and unfortunately I miscarried at 6w2d. This has been THE hardest thing we’ve ever gone thorough and I’ve been completely heartbroken. Despite grieving, I still cannot deny the desire to have a baby (earth side). I’m curious.. has anyone else felt this way and how did you know when you were ready to try again?

Answer

I tried after my first period when I had a mmc (took about 7 weeks from start of miscarriage to start of next cycle). We tried right when that cycle ended and had our babygirl in December. It was anxiety ridden in the beginning hoping to not have another loss but a as time went by the excitement came back.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so lonely and hard to go through. My OBGYN had me wait until my first period to try again to make sure my uterus was healed after my D&C for missed miscarriage. We did start trying again right after I got my first period (took 6 weeks to come). I think some people feel guilty about trying again right away, like they aren't honoring the baby they lost. And most are scared of it happening again. It's totally normal to feel these things. I bought a birthstone charm for the month my baby was due and it's been a nice way to remember that baby. I was definitely nervous about trying again but knew I wanted a baby so we went for it. The next time we conceived led to a successful pregnancy and my rainbow baby is now almost 2. Hope you get your rainbow soon should you decide to try again soon ❤️

Answer

I’m so sorry for your loss. I just had a miscarriage today and I’m having some of the same feelings of guilt and to just be pregnant again. I feel like I’ve been grieving for a while though. I only had a faint line on a test which didn’t get much darker when I tested two days later, then a weeks worth of bad news from my blood tests. Then the dreaded news that my levels had fallen on Valentine’s Day. My loss was early so doctor said I can try again after my hcg levels go back down to “0” through a blood test. Hoping you get your rainbow baby soon. 💜
