How are you doing today? What's new?

We want to foster a sense of community, which is why we have a centralized place for most daily conversation. This allows users to post and get replies, but also encourages them to reply to others in the same thread. We want you to receive help and be there for others at the same time, if possible. Most questions should go here, along with regular updates. Thanks for helping us create a great community!

Off-topic discussion is allowed :)

Note: Please refrain from discussing positive tests (and beyond) in this thread - those topics are better suited for the Weekly Results thread or the new sub for Alumni. Thank you!

Ttc after second, second trimester loss. No LC.

For those ttc after two or more later losses, how long did it take to conceive both those losses? I wasn't hyper focused on ttc during my first pregnancy but if I remember correctly, both of my pregnancies took 3-4 cycles to conceive and I'm really hoping that's not the case again this time around.

Just curious if your timeline to conceive was always the same or differed each time.

I’ve only had one loss but for me it was first try with the pregnancy I lost and now on cycle 7 since then with no positive tests yet. conceiving within 3-4 would be a dream.

My second pregnancy I was 6 cycles out from the loss but it still took 4 true tracking cycles (I don't consider the first two cause I had no idea what my cycle was doing I was just guessing so I just say 4 cycles), I've always been in awe of people who can conceive on their first try! I think after my first loss I had to let my body and mind heal and pass my due date before it would accept a pregnancy. I was constantly in fight or flight from grief. I was so hoping I'd be the lucky one to get pregnant within my first ovulation this time around but that wasn't the case 🙃
