how can I get excited about TTC again???

[Abylite]

Hello. We had 2 losses in the past year and it's been 3 months since my D and C. We are settled into our new location now (moved cross country) and both of us are employed. A baby at the end of Nov would have been perfect! I must admit I still wonder why things happen the way they do.

Anyway...we want to try again. We had no problems getting pregnant...just keeping the baby! Medical test did reveal a "minor" blood clotting problem...so I'll be taking a daily baby aspirin which is no big deal. All other immune/chromosome testing came back ok.

I am so SCARED to go through this again! How can I release this fear? Or do I have to "feel the fear and do it anyway"?? How can I spiritually and mentally prepare for getting pregnant again. I'm afraid it'll happen again but I know we won't have a baby unless we try again.

Has anyone been in this predicament?? I'll take any helpful thoughts and prayers!!! We want to TTC end of Sept/ beg of Oct (maybe after an Oct wedding so I don't have to worry about having a little wine...). Thanks for any input.

Abylite I am so sorry to see you back in this situation. I do have to tell you that I know of someone who had two miscarriages and was also diagnosed with a blood clotting problem, well now she has been taking the baby aspirin and is 23 weeks pregnant with twins! There is hope sweet lady. I hope that you get to hold a little baby soon.

Good luck.

Abylite, I am so sorry for your losses. I can tell you from my point of view once you have a miscarriage you are never the same again. It is such a huge growing experience. I am finally 13wks pregnant sfter 8months of ttc with one early loss. I do have progesterone issues and this pregnancy up until today has made me feel very afraid. I trully believed that I was never going to have this baby but yesterday I heard a nice strong hb and I saw another deer today and that was my sign to let go of the fear and embrace this new life growing inside of me.

The pain and fears I think will go away. The chance of having 3 miscarriages are very rear. I hope that is a little reasurring. My thoughts are with you and dh. Try not to let the worries interfere with one of the greatest joys of life. Try to take it easy

I don't have any advice, as I have never been in your shoes, but I will keep you in my thoughts. Sometimes even the most simple fixes -- like taking a baby aspirin -- can work wonders. I hope that the third time is the charm for you.

Maybe timing is everything? The saying everything happens for a reason. I had a misscarriage at 10 weeks , it was so traumatic and scary. I just had no idea if I could have a baby. Today I'm sitting up at 1 in the morning wishing I'd go into labor. I was due on the 24th and were past. I wonder if that baby I lost is this baby? Maybe it wasn't its time then?
