Questions & Answers

First of all, I'm very sorry for your loss. It's an extremely emotional thing to have to go through. We've unfortunately been through it twice.

It's a very personal decision as to when to try again. I know for me, I had a lot of issues after our first loss. I felt a lot of shame about what had happened (we had announced to friends and family so everyone knew what we were going through), and I felt that my body had failed me (because women were SUPPOSED to be able to have babies - that's what our bodies were made to do, right?). For me, I wasn't emotionally ready to try again until I began working through those issues. I had help - I went and spoke with a therapist both to help me grieve the loss of our child and to help me realize that what happened wasn't my fault. It was free through my work - might you have something similar at yours?

Good luck to you and your family!

We didn't wait to TTC again, but it really is a personal decision. We got pregnant on my 2nd cycle after a B.O. and it was nerve wrecking to say the least until I was past the first trimester, but all is well and we are 22w 3d now and doing great! Don't give up!

Hi. I'm very sorry. I think you have to decide for yourself. I too have a 7yr old daughter but I made a promise to her I would never give up until she had a brother or sister. So my promise to her made me extremely strong. I'm nearly 39 as well. We had 4 losses in 12mths after seeing Heartbeats & 3d&c surgeries. After every time I would try again as soon as possible as I had too I wasn't getting any younger. I'm not gonna lie it was tough there was crying and heartbreak but no matter what I would keep going as I knew we could have a healthy child as we had my daughter.
