[quote=Anonymous]Lost first pregnancy, twins from IVF, at 21 weeks. Waited 5 months to try transfer again. Took 3 transfer cycles (transferring one at a time--not two after what happened)--to get pregnant again--so almost 8 months from loss to being pregnant again. Pregnancy was incredibly stressful for first 20 weeks--bleeding the entire time and I was still an emotional wreck from losing the twins. Fine for 8 weeks, then the unexplained contractions started. Made it to 37 weeks and now have a healthy 17 year old with pretty bad anxiety, which I feel I must have passed on during my stress-filled pregnancy. I so wish I had found a way to look forward during my pregnancy instead of the constant worry. The 18th birthday of my twins is coming up next week. It's one of those days that sometimes weighs heavily on me, while others, it will be halfway through the day when I realize, oh, this is why I've been feeling a little down today--just a sub-conscious thing. Sadly, it's also the birthday of my now deceased sibling, which doesn't help. Anyway, long story--but short answer: it's really different for everyone and I think especially how far along you were at the loss plays a part. Deliving breathing babies is a bigger physical and emotional recovery than a first-tri miscarriage, but either way, I think it's important to focus on looking forward whenever it is time. [/quote]
