Ready to try again
I gave birth to my stillborn son, Aiden, on June 23rd. I was 19 weeks. It was the hardest thing I have ever been through, after losing my dad almost two years ago. It brought my SO and myself closer together, made our love for each other and our relationship even stronger then before. The first week was very hard for us both. Today I saw my OB for a follow up. I only bled for a little over a week, then after 4-5 days of not bleeding, I started my period. My OB said we are in the clear to start trying again if we feel ready. Part of me feels guilty for saying we are ready, so soon after losing our son, but we have we really want to start a family. It took us 4 months the first time we started TTC, so I'm not sure how long it will take this time, but hearing my OB say we could try again made me feel hopeful and a bit excited. How long did you wait before trying again? Did you feel guilty or have reservations about it?
