Trying after pregnancy loss. 😭

I’ve had 2 pregnancy loss this year.

February, I was able to naturally pass the pregnancy.

April 10th I had to have a D&C.

Here we are 2 menstrual cycles later with the O.K from the doctor to try again.

Today is day 1 of ovulation. The 20th is to be my highest peak day. I’m doing what I did for the past 2 times that worked for me to get pregnant.

But why, why do I already feel like crying. I’m so worried I’m not going to like get a positive.

I also know there is a chance to not get a positive this go around.

How do I just chill, baby make and not worry about the future? 😭

I have 3. 2 were when I was young, not planned. I was a teen mom. 1 my husband and I were not trying, but we conceived on our wedding night. My past 2 we were trying. My first time actually trying and have excitement and I lose both? I’m so worried we try again and something happens 😭

How for the love of god, do I just CHILL!! #pregnancy #pregnancyloss #pregnancystruggles #pregnancylossawareness

Understanding pregnancy loss is crucial for those navigating these emotional waters. After losing a pregnancy, many individuals experience a mix of grief and anxiety. It's important to recognize that every person's journey is unique; sharing your feelings can be immensely beneficial. Joining support groups, whether online or in-person, can connect you with others who understand your struggles. Discussions around pregnancy loss often highlight the need for awareness and support, as the conversation remains vital for many. Remember that seeking professional help is also a step towards healing. Familiarizing yourself with the reproductive health landscape can aid in understanding medical advice as you prepare for future pregnancies. Incorporate self-care practices; mindfulness, journaling, or creative expression can alleviate stress. It’s crucial to create a support network with your partner, friends, and family during this time. Additionally, staying informed about fertility tracking methods can empower you in future attempts. Remember, it’s okay to feel vulnerable and reach out for support! Engage with hashtags like #pregnancylossawareness to find community resources and shared experiences. Embrace hope and positivity as you navigate this challenging path.
