since you lost your angel?   How long did you wait before starting to TTC?  

I know that it varies on how long it takes to feel like you can start trying again, some woman want to try as soon as they can, while others need time to still work through their grief.  Please share your thoughts on how you decided to try again.

i lost my daughter July 31, 2011. i wanted to conceive as soon as possible after losing our baby but my partner wanted to wait 6 months. so we went the whole "not "not" trying" route. i desperately want to get pregnant again. in retrospect i'm glad we didn't get pregnant a few months afterwards because i'm just starting to feel like myself again - 7 months later. i'm also less fearful of being pregnant again. we are going to actively start trying this cycle.

It sounds like waiting worked out for the better for you. Sending you lots of P&PTS as you start to try, please keep us posted on how you are doing.

We lost our angel Ruby Jayne at 38 weeks (unexplained) on Feb. 13, 2012... 7 weeks 1 day ago.  We are trying already (doc said go ahead)... just got my period back yesterday so no luck the first round but we're really hoping for this cycle.  Bought a fertility monitor just in case my cycle is irregular now, I'll do anything to have a baby in my arms!  Good luck and baby dust to everyone!

It's been 3 months today since I lost my triplet daughters.  I have an appt tomorrow to meet with our fertility doctor to make a plan for our next try. If everything goes well, we'll try again in May. We were so close to finally having our dreams come true. Hopefully our next try will bring our rainbow baby.
