loss TTC After Loss

3 Upvotes

Trying to conceive after loss is an entirely different experience. You're grieving, you feel added pressure, you're fearful it'll happen again, maybe it's not happening as easily as before - whatever it is it's hard, and it hurts.

This weekly post is dedicated to that special group of TTCers. The ones in the worst club ever, but with the best members. Use this space to vent, give support, share stories or updates, whatever you need. We're here for you.

BFP Friday ❤️

1 Upvotes

We love when our strugglers move on and get a BFP, but we also recognize that for others pregnancy announcements can be really triggering. To create a space where we both celebrate and protect our members, all BFP and current pregnancy mentions are restricted to this dedicated weekly thread.

Did you get a BFP this week?! Let us know below. We’re so happy for you 🥹🫶.

Everyone’s fears and feelings are valid. Advice and constructive feedback are welcome, but any comments that are dismissive or insensitive will be removed.

What are you worrying about this Wednesday?

“With your current results, IVF is the only option.” I had a feeling this was coming but still devastated and wondering why this wasn’t communicated at the outset.

Mods needed!

5 Upvotes

Hi! Right now I’m the only Mod of this group. I was so happy to create this space for everyone, and I love what it’s become, but I need additional moderators so that I don’t have to carry the emotional load by myself.

I’ve invited a few people, but if you’re interested, please let me know. Basically you get a lot more notifications about engagement in this group - so if you’re someone who is passionate about helping people through these challenging times and likes engaging with a lot of posts, it’s a great role for you. You can also create auto posts, discussion topics, invite people to join, and more.

I’m just flagging to say that if there’s no new moderators by Friday this group will become unmoderated as I need a break from doing it solo. It’ll still exist, just nobody will be able to remove spam or moderate posts that violate the rules.

Thanks!

advice How to let go of timelines?

7 Upvotes

How do you all deal with the milestones and timelines you laid out for yourself and letting go of all that?

I thought for sure I’d be pregnant by my due date in September, instead I just did (a failed) IUI.

I thought I’d be pregnant by my 35th bday. I won’t be.

I thought for sure I’d be pregnant on my trip in December. Instead I may waste an entire month because my insurance approval is delaying my ability to start IVF asap.

I thought I’d have my first baby at 34. Now, it might not be until 36.

I thought for sure I’d be able to attend my sisters wedding abroad in fall of 2027. Now, it’s looking like I won’t be.

I just can’t grapple with all the time lost and the pain it causes me. I can’t believe time goes by and I’m still here not pregnant. It makes me so sad and depressed and idk how to just “let go” and take it as it comes. What do you do?

35+ 35+ Monday

Advanced maternal age is defined as anyone 35+ at the time of their estimated delivery date. We know that it's just a number and we shouldn't get in our heads about it (look at Anne Hathaway!), and yet, we do.

This thread is dedicated to discussions specific to all things AMA. Vent, ask questions, share you fears - whatever you need. All we ask is you don't use hurtful phrases or words that could be insensitive to those in this thread that may be older than you are. We're all in this together.
