TTC after twin loss

[Kellz225]

Hi everyone. I'm new and figured I would share my story.

I'm Kelly and I'm 30. My bf C and I have only recently started TTC after losing our twin girls in February 2014. Our girls were stillborn at 22 weeks due to me having an IC. It's been a long hard road to get to this point, and now I can't say I'm not an emotional wreck. I suffer from PCOS, and my first pregnancy was unplanned and a complete surprise. I know we've only failed one cycle so far, but I am terrified I won't be able to conceive again... and if I do, that something will happen and we will lose that baby as well. I suffer from an anxiety disorder as well, which is not helping how I feel. Especially that since we are TTC, I've stopped taking my anxiety medication as it is not safe for pregnancy.

I've never been able to reach out for support before, and am really hoping that I've found a place that I can do so.

Hi kelly!!! I'm so sorry for your loss, I just can't even imagine .. its so incredibly scary and hard ttc after a loss and once you get that bfp everything scares you... I hope you have good support around you and that you havr a wonderful dr!!!
Will you be getting a cerclage put in? Will you be seeing a high risk dr or anything.. sorry for all the questions I'm just curious!!
I'm currently undergoing testing for recurrent pregnancy loss and we just had to send off my baby for genetic testing.. all of my test results won't be in for 12-16 weeks .. and then it will be possible for us to ttc again (and hopefully we will have answers so this doesn't happen again!)..
I hope you find this site comfortable and welcoming!!! I've been on here since 2012 and through my losses!!! And through my one successful pregnancy and dd's birth!!! It's been good for me!! Welcome and I'm so sorry for your losses!!!! Did you name your babies? Also there is a miscarriage section on here, I hope you find it welcoming, there are many of us over there !!

I'm sorry for the loss of your twin daughters 💔💔
We lost Eve at 5 days old and Alfie at 18 weeks pregnant.
There are things they can do for an IC have you discussed options for next time? If not maybe worth having a chat with your Dr.
I know how stressful ttc is after a loss, I hope you find this forum helps. I would also suggest SANDs as. Good source of support, they were s lifeline for me when Eve died xx

Keliz, I'm so sorry for your losses. You did come to the right place. I had no idea what a lifesaver this site would be for me. I didn't even expect to participate much in the conversations, but now I've even gotten to the point of making friends. It also helped my relationship with my husband because he wasn't bearing the brunt of my venting. I'm glad you're here.

I also had to go off of anxiety medication that I had been on for seven years. It's not an easy road, I know, but congratulate yourself on having gone through so much and for so long without it. (I did go back on mine briefly before ttc again...because we're not supposed to be masochists!). You'll find a lot of women going through the same things. I hope this site is helpful to you!

Hey ladies. My husband and I are TTC after two pregnancy losses. My first was a missed miscarriage that i had a D&C for August 12, w
2010. (4 days shy of our one year anniversary). The second is more complicated. We found out we were having twins and had just had my 20 week ultrasound Wednesday June 27th 2012. It was confirmed that we were having girls! ThursdayI had pink show and went to my OB who said I was fine. I was in pain that led me to have an ultrasound on my bladder for suspected stones of somesort on Friday the 29thAfter i got home from that I realized my pain was coming in waves and then my water broke. I had Willow Esther in an ambulance alone and Piper Ruth in the ER right aftet my husband arrived. It was not onlheartbbreaking but very traumatic for me. This is finally thr time to try to conceive. I was diagnosed with MTHFR and i'm hoping that I can finally have a baby to raise. Im 4-8 dayd PO not sure.
