TTC Update

Happy Tuesday everyone. It's been exactly 8 weeks since my D&C. I've had a few friends and family members ask when we might "try" again. There is no simple answer quite frankly. I don't feel anywhere close to being emotionally or physically ready. I'm still dealing with a lot of emotional ups and downs since losing my twins and I really need to deal with those feelings before getting pregnant again. Physically, as selfish as it may sound, I just want a few months of feeling GOOD. Before I got pregnant, the medication made me feel crappy, then I dealt with pregnancy symptoms, then recovering from the D&C. It's been about 6 months of feeling like shit and I'm ready for a little bit of a break. I've also discussed with my husband the option of fostering to adopt. I want to be a mother and I don't know if I can take another loss again. I know some women have recurring miscarriages and can be strong and move on and try again but after trying for over 3 years only to have lost not one, but two babies. It's a pain I can't even put into words. So that's where I'm at. This is definitely not the end of the road for us but more like a time out..
