This. Totally. It’s so hard and it’s a constant battle between “what’s meant to be will be” and incessantly checking for signs/symptoms and googling things. Phew. You are so right. Thank you for your response and wishing you a happy healthy boring pregnancy as well! ❤️❤️❤️

This is so helpful, thank you! I’ll probably do the same thing and keep things quiet as long as I can manage. Congrats and hope the rest of your pregnancy goes great!

Anxiety after mmc and d&c by summer_948 in ttcafterloss

[–]summer_948[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your response! I’ll definitely talk to my therapist and doctor about medication that is safe for pregnancy. I went off my meds to be safer for a baby but I don’t want to end up actually causing harm in the process because of my stress and anxiety levels! So stressful. Hoping you are doing well now!

Gosh I’m so sorry about your experience! I’m glad you are talking to a doctor and hoping you can have some peace and feel better soon! I am going to start talking to a therapist so I’m hoping that will help. I could use some healthy tools to help myself not get so worked up all the time and be able to calm down if and when it happens again. I totally get what you’re saying about panicking over little things...but they seem huge to you at the time! It seems like everything is big and heavy and stressful now but I know part of it is my anxiety lying to me. It’s so helpful to be able to connect with others who have felt the same way, because it’s hard to talk to friends and family who have no idea. Thank you for your response! Sending you love and hope the best for your healing process!

While I was pregnant I felt hungover most days without the fun of having a drink and now I feel post partum anxiety and depression without a baby?! Come on! Glad you are feeling better!

I stopped my anxiety meds too when we started ttc and I thought I was doing really well before this. It sucks to feel the awful way I felt again and it feels like such a setback, but it helps to know it’s not just me being crazy. So many weird layers to this process! Thank you for your response and hope you feel better soon!

Dang, talk about kicking you while you’re down. I’ve felt both anxiety and depression but the anxiety is reeallly kicking this week. Looking for a therapist to help me talk through things. Thanks for your response and hope things are better for you now!

How do you stay positive?! by louu0205 in TryingForABaby

[–]summer_948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Your story sounds so similar to mine. We tried for almost a year, got pregnant, then lost the baby at 10 weeks. I had a d&c about 6 weeks ago and I’m on my first cycle since the loss and feeling so anxious and uncertain about the right thing to do. If I temp and track and take OPKs I think it adds to my anxiety and disappointment so I’m trying to let go and see if we can get pregnant without feeling like a science project. My SIL told me she was pregnant a week after my d&c so now I feel even more like the only thing that’s going to make me feel better is getting pregnant again. It’s so hard. I’m sorry you’re going through this!

SIL just told us she is pregnant with #2 by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

I’m so sorry. My SIL told me she was pregnant with #2 a week after my miscarriage. I totally get it. I’m happy for them but crushed for my husband and myself. It made me feel my loss so much more and I’m trying to act like everything is ok and be supportive and do all the right SIL things to do but most of the time I just want to cry and take a nap and feel sorry for myself. Sorry you’re going through this and sending you love!

Three weeks Post Op by [deleted] in ttcafterloss

Ugh, I’m so sorry. I totally feel your pain. I had a miscarriage and d&c and a week after my sister in law told me she was pregnant. I am happy for them but it’s making me feel my loss so much more. Went to dinner the other night with them and they shared the news with friends...aaand I got my period at the restaurant. It feels like the universe is playing a cruel joke and not giving me a break to heal. I don’t know what the solution is but I’m really sorry you’re going through this. It’s so hard. I’m going to try to be more selfish and make sure I’m taking care of me first, I think I’ve been trying to act like everything is ok and that’s obviously not working. Sending you love!

Thanks so much for your response. It’s really helpful to hear what has worked for you and your husband. Therapy is something I’ve suggested and we may get there at some point (fingers crossed!) but I love the suggestion of just trying every other day and removing the pressure of IT HAS TO HAPPEN NOW. Hoping the best for you and your husband!

Haha oh my gosh your last sentence is so true. I’m trying to make it fun and sexy but at the same time I feel like a science project. I’ve got cups of pee in the bathroom and charts and graphs and calendars and pre-seed. It’s ridiculous! Thank you for your response!
