TTC after losing baby

indy and lara · Jul 21st, 2008, 05:40 AM

Hi everyone

our son was born sleeping at 23 weeks in January this year. I had had a textbook pregnancy but in the 24 hours preceeding his birth our wee man crushed his umbilical cord and sent me into labour. Throughout my labour we clung on to the hope that he may make it but he died shortly before finally being born. We know now that had he survived, his quality of life would have been very poor due to his cord restriction.

We are now ttc again and I have posted elsewhere about advice about when to test (am cd33 of 32- 36 day cycle). Am just wondering how others have got on ttc after a loss. I am 32 and some days it feels like we may never have a living child- just lookign for some advice etc.

Sorry for your loss hun

There are so many different things involved in TTC hun especially after a loss. Have your cycles returned to anything like normal? If so when do you ovulate and how long are your cycles ??

Hi i had m/c last month. We haven't ttc yet (not sure when/if we will) I just wanted to say hi and welcome and show you some support.

I'm sorry for your loss and i hope you conceive again very soon.

Hi,

I just wanted to say so sorry for your loss, I had a miscarriage last year and I know this may sound negative but it looks like I am having another one now I have to go back to hospital today for more bloods/scan at 3pm....

Anyway my point is we will try straight away unless told not to otherwise we both feel this is the right thing to do and are happy to, you will know when you are ready to try again everyone is different as for your age I am 36 and had my son at 32. Good luck

PS I would probably test on day 37 if you can wait that long some test are super sensitive I hope you get your

Hi Lesley,

My son was stillborn at 28 wks in January this year due to a cord accident. I'm now pregnant again, so if you want to chat, I'd be happy to help out if I can.
