    TTC after loss

    Hi ladies

    I'm new to this site and am looking for pple who have been in a similar situation to myself. My story as follows:

    Myself & DH had been TTC since August 2005 and after few tests etc it was finally decided that we go on clomid for 6 months, which helped me ovulate properly but no pregnancies. We got referred to an FS here in Brisbane and we started IVF straight away. 1st cycle got cancelled in April 07 due to poor response to the drugs. 2nd cycle in Aug 07 brought us that lovely ++ and we were finally preg with a little baby who was due in May this yr. Pregnancy was very good, smooth sailing till I went in for a 4weekly checkup with my OB at the end of Jan at 23 weeks and discovered that my little bub had passed away at 22 weeks. Both myself & my DH had struggled to come to terms with the loss as you would expect. We managed to get through a few months and thought that i was recovering from the shock and the tragic loss but the depression has come back to haunt me again and I don't feel the same anymore. I'm upset most of the time and although i keep myself occupied at work, it still seems that the day is dragging for way too long. I'm taking one day at a time and we are ttc again because we have 5 embryos left in the freezer so hoping that one of them will bring us a little sister or brother for my angel son Nelson.

    I look forward to joining the rest of the girls in the TTC thread but it would be nice to be able to talk to girls who have been in a similar situation and like to know how they've been coping with their loss.

    Sues xx

    Welsome to BB Suse,
    I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your precious Nelson. I had an early los @ 6 weeks so I dont knew exactly what you are going through, but I know the pain of a much loved bub passing.
    You will get great support from the lovely ladies and gents on BB - with many unfortunatly have been through the same situations.
    I also suffer from depression and I know what the roller coaster is like - I just take it one day at a time, Be kind to your self and you will get through this.
    Good luck with your TTC journey - I hope it is a stort one for you.
    Kate
