Trying again after mc

Hiya, been a bit useless at coming in here these last few months!

As the title says, I'm back in the saddle so to speak after a miscarriage at 11 weeks in August. 2 cycles down now, although this one is the first one we've properly started trying again.

I'm struggling quite a lot at the min though as I'm surrounded by friends and work colleagues who are pregnant (one of my friends is due within a week of what would have been my due date). I just want to end this crappy year on a high with a bfp that sticks.

Any buddies would be most welcome, I need people to keep me sane! I'm in the 2ww now Smile

This will sound trite but fingers crossed it all works out. I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks and it was horrible. It took three months but we managed to conceive again and once I had dd in my arms it was like I felt whole again.

I remember the feeling of envy and anger that others were so easily pregnant but I wasn't. It did eat me up.

Fingers crossed for us both! Luckily my cycles have settled down quite quickly and I got a smiley face on the CB sticks this month (starting to put the effort in again this month)

I also mc in August, at 8 weeks. I'm also in the tww. TTC straight after but my first cycle was really long and now I've had a proper AF it's probably for the best. I've just been prescribed progesterone for my short luteal phase and my AF usually appears 8 days after ovulation. I'm anxiously waiting and hoping for a pre-xmas bfp, however I must be realistic it might not happen straight away. I know it's hard but hopefully the next time will be the one that sticks Smile
