Trying to Conceive After a Miscarriage
“Trying to conceive after a miscarriage isn’t easy- but here’s how to prepare yourself to try again. Hope is possible.”
Miscarriage is incredibly difficult. Grieving the loss can feel like being stuck in an abyss of sadness that is swallowing you whole. As we begin to emerge from this pit of heartache, it can be hard to fathom the idea of trying to conceive again. How do I muster up the courage to be vulnerable to my fears and the possibility of perhaps another loss?
Back when I lost my twin pregnancy at 17 weeks, the idea of trying again felt impossible in those first few months after our loss. Eventually, with the passage of time and the three-step process I offer you below, I was able to take that next step in our fertility journey: I chose to pivot from IVF to international adoption.
I learned that courage and resilience never leave us, no matter how lost we might feel. Rather, they get dimmed by unfortunate events that occur in our lives. But hope is possible.
