PREGNANCY LOSS

this has been a challenging aspect to my miscarriage I didn’t foresee and I wish I someone had told me about. going back to the same place I found out there was no longer a hard beat 8 times since my miscarriage has been quite the journey. we are CLOSE to zero, seeing as it started just under 100,000. but I’m going back tmrw for more bloodwork. I don’t even think we are ready to try again mentally yet, but it feels like we are stuck in limbo bc that option isn’t even offered to us right now until I get back to zero HCG level. have you experienced this process and if so how long did it take you to get back to zero? Additionally how on earth did you know when you were mentally ready to try again? I don’t know if I’m ready for the possibility of a third pregnancy loss back to back… 🩷 #pregnancyloss #miscarriageawareness #pregnancylossawareness #miscarriage

I lost my last baby 6 weeks pregnant after not being able to get pregnant for 11 months off birth control. I went in for an ultrasound at 9 weeks they told me baby stopped growing around 6 weeks I was so in shock I didn’t cry I just said we’ll try again. I ended up crying many times later but we did try again immediately and they say you’re more fertile after miscarriage. We got pregnant even before I had a period and I will be 7 months pregnant Friday with rainbow baby girl. It is hard and I worry every second she doesn’t kick. But when she does kick it’s the most relieving feeling in the world and I love her and appreciate her lots. Try again when you are ready. it’s ok to stress a little about baby’s wellbeing, I know I stress a lot and she’s ok. ❤wishing you luck

I had 2 back-to-back losses in 2021. I waited 2 years to try again and it devastated me. I tried again because I couldn't live with the "what if." I am now 31 weeks pregnant now with my rainbow boy. Knowing whether or not you're ready again is hard to explain. You go into knowing there could very devastation, heartache, grief and loss. I clung to the Lord and prayed everyday this baby boy would be safe and all praise to HIM both baby boy & I have been safe and healthy. When you cross my mind, I will pray for you to get your 🌈 👶 ❤❤

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I had a miscarriage at 14 weeks. It was so hard and 11 years later, I still cry about it sometimes. I knew that I wanted a baby and was willing to try as soon as my doctor cleared me. I now have a sweet 10 year old. I found that talking about it made it easier.

I had a miscarriage last September and for three months I did everything I could to avoid children a d pregnant people, shopping late a night, avoiding social media and picking my tv shows and movies super carefully. I even avoided friends or family that were expecting or had little kids. Then one day it didn’t hurt as much when I saw someone out with their baby. It still hurt but I could be sad for me and happy for them at the same time. We decided to try again because everytime after that when I got my period even if we didn’t try I was sad. We started by just making it about having fun and then it happened. I am
Now 9 weeks pregnant and just hoping everyday that things get better and better. Miscarriage is the worst thing I’ve ever experienced but I didn’t want it to stop my dream of being a mom and I know when I do have a baby it will be loved and hugged so hard for the one I couldn’t. Hope this helps and you’re not alone even though this process feels incredibly lonely.

First, I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s such an awful process to go through. My husband and I just had our sixth miscarriage last week. We have no living children and honestly it doesn’t get any easier each time. I have learned that it is important to allow yourself to grieve fully. Don’t ignore it or push past it. It will end up harming you in the long run. Pregnancy after miscarriage is a whole different ballgame. It requires A TON of strength and patience and tolerance of the unknown and anxiety. You will need a lot of strength to get through that. You can though ❤ care for yourself emotionally, love your body back to health, grieve the loss of that precious baby and you will know when it’s time to try again ❤❤

God gave us peace to try again. We actually didn’t even want anymore kids and got pregnant by “accident” and lost her and God drastically changed our hearts and gave us the desire to have more kids. Not that a baby can replace a baby but he gave us the peace to try again at the exact same time. God will give you peace when his timing is right.

I had an ectopic pregnancy 15 years ago. They took one of my fallopian tubes. They told me that I had to get an ivf to pregnant again. I didn't want to go that route. Last year, I started the ivf process. I had to get my womb scrapped. The doctor ended up unblocking my only fallopian tube. I stopped the ivf process right before my injection shots, and now I'm 4 months pregnant. When you are ready, you will know. Stay strong. Your rainbow baby is on the way.

I had a miscarriage last year on Mother's Day. I was 11 weeks along while watching my sister go through her pregnancy. Our expected dates were 11 days apart. I am not fully ready to start trying again, but each day that goes by is getting closer to us deciding when to try again. I am exposing myself to my nephew, and I can now talk about it without crying. I am being kind to myself and I am taking the time I need. We have started talking about trying again, but the thought of going through another miscarriage is terrifying. I have a fantastic husband and a supportive family. I know I will be supported during my anxious moments but that doesn't help my fear of going through that pain again, mentally and physically.

I had two miscarriages. One ended with a D&C procedure and the other was a chemical pregnancy. I am currently pregnant again and I feel this is the one that will go full term. My husband and I want a child so bad that yes we grieved the two loses but we can’t let them stop of us from eventually having our baby that is suppose to be on earth with us. Things happen for reasons that make no sense to us but giving up hope lets the miscarriage win. Everyone deserves a baby but everyone has different paths to take to eventually have your baby. Don’t ever give up hope and start back when your heart is okay with moving forward. ❤

I am so sorry for you loss!
I had a missed miscarriage at 9wks in 2022. Then in 2023, I had a chemical pregnancy and lost our rainbow baby at 4wks 5 days. This is the worst pain that I've gone through. I just pray and don't loose hope for that baby that I desire. I just took it one day at a time. And let God guide me and heal my body...And prayed and prayed.
I know it's all in God's perfect timing.
🙏

Sending prayers your way 🙏

I’m going through it right now. Found I was pregnant in March, but I was wiping blood. Something felt off. I even had a weird dream of passing two blood clots and the next day I did pass a blood clot. So I decided to go to the emergency to get checked out and they couldn’t find a pregnancy even though my levels were there. Long story short they believe it was ectopic and so they had to give me methotrexate. I am currently bleeding like a period… we will have to wait 3 months. I have PCOS and conceived naturally with my husband whom is so supportive, I wouldn’t be able to get through this without a partner who is so encouraging telling me we will get pregnant and we will try again in three months. ❤

Hi India dear. I had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks in October, it took almost 2 months for my period to come back. I was ready to try again after my first period, I felt as though my body had finished that cycle and was ready for new life. I’m now pregnant again. It will happen for you, I just know it. Stay strong and lots of love ❤

[AmiraHarper-xyxq]

My first born was stillborn. I wasn't ready to conceive again but I was so broken I needed to fill the hole. I was pregnant within 3 months. I had to take progesterone to stay pregnant with my subsequent pregnancies. So sorry for your loss. Sending hugs 🫂 and healing vibes your way 💕

I had a chemical loss/miscarriage at almost 6 weeks and waited a cycle before we tried again. I wasn't emotionally ready and then I also was in quite a bit of physical pain from an ovarian cyst.

I had my rainbow baby a year to the day of my miscarriage. 2/22/23 lost the pregnancy and 2/22/24 I had my son.

[ellaannstevenson]

I’m so, so sorry for your loss. We lost a baby last summer. I was so sad, and desperate to conceive again as soon as possible. My husband wanted to be in a place of freedom, not just grasping the thing we wanted. We decided to “not try not to try”. Nine months later, we conceived again. I think the timing was perfect, even though we hadn’t planned it that way. We grew in our marriage, we grieved our loss, we got to learn to enjoy watching our other friends have healthy pregnancies. It was hard to let go of control, but it’s made all the difference to our peace.

[Lisa-igpz]

I’m so sorry for all you’re going through, I’ve been there and unless someone has gone through, they cannot understand. It’s such a painful experience.

My situation was a bit unique because I didn’t meet my love until I was 38 so I was 40 years old at the time and unfortunately, there was really no time for me to wait to try again because of my age so the decision was kind of made for me.

The reality is, only you know when you’re ready, and sometimes there are no clear signs. Follow your heart and sending you love and strength.

[afiazahinnoshin]

I m so sorry for your loss. I know, Its very emotionally draining. I had a miscarriage too at my 8 weeks 5 months back and it still haunts me, and I m scared to death for it to happen again when I get pregnant. I really hope that you get back to ur previous position as soon as possible. My heart goes for you.

[fromn.y.top.r.]

I pray you have your baby in your arms by this time next year in Jesus name.

My hubby and I had a miscarriage with our first pregnancy, it didn't clear fully, so then I got a crazy infection, ER visit, iv meds. It was awful. Then I worked in the public, plus one of the ladies I had worked with was at the end of her pregnancy. It was so rough seeing babies everywhere, so I avoided them all. I think you just have to wait as long as you need, to feel comfortable again trying. We got pregnant again about 4 months after, and everything was good, then 3 years later again we had a second child.
