by Ava Lynden
Because trying again means facing everything you lost, and everything you still dream of.
Description:
When you've lost a pregnancy, the world expects you to move on. But you don't just lose a heartbeat, you lose a future, a version of yourself, and a sense of safety that may never fully return.
Conceiving After Loss is a deeply compassionate guide for women and couples ready, or trying, to try again after miscarriage, stillbirth, or failed IVF. With unflinching honesty and unwavering support, Ava Lynden helps you process your grief, rebuild trust in your body, and prepare emotionally and physically for the next step, whether that's conception, waiting, or letting go.
Inside this book, you'll find:
What no one tells you about grief, hormones, and the emotional recoil of pregnancy loss
How to know when (or if) you're ready to try again
The biology of loss: miscarriage rates, chromosomal issues, and recurrent loss explained
A month-by-month recovery plan to gently re-align your mind, hormones, and hope
Strategies to navigate ultrasounds, blood tests, and other triggering medical moments
How to talk to your partner, your doctor, and yourself
When to seek support, and how to find a care team that honors your story
How to handle pregnancy after loss: anxiety, guilt, trauma, and the fear of joy
This isn't just a fertility guide.
It's a safe space to feel your feelings, honor what you've survived, and find the courage to hope again.
If you've been told to "stay positive" when your heart is still broken, this book was written for you.
