Losing hope :(

[Bridget14]

I had a m/c on the 17th of April 2013 and after a few
Days I stopped bleeding have been trying ever since
To fall pregnant again, but it just doesn't seem to happen
I have read and been told that after a m/c you
Are more likely to fall pregnant but this sadly
Isn't the case for myself, I'm now worried
That I can't have any more children and that's
Devastating to think about, I so desperately want
To have one more child and be complete its always
Been in my head that I would have 2 children!
It's getting tougher and I'm trying to put on this
Brave/false face round other people, but its eating me
Up inside! I work with 2 people who are heavily pregnant
& it breaks my heart that I am not! I'm just wondering if anyone
Has been in the same boat an fell pregnant but it just took a little
Longer than most people say it does. Thank you

Didn't want to read and run. Don't lose heart, it will happen eventually.

Bridget, it's been so recent, please don't lose heart.

Sorry to read about your mc.

Fwiw, I haven't had any mcs, but it took us 9m to conceive dd1 and 2 years (and Clomid) to conceive dd2.

Don't lose hope x

Bridget sorry to hear about your lose and your feeling sad
I don't know if this will help at all,
I tried 3 years for dd now 5, been trying 2 years for baby no 2,3 mcs during each with 6-7 months between so I think that more fertile thing is pants, I take pregnCare conception and now vitamin b complex as heard prevents mc, been adv by a consultant to take aspirin when I do fall again and am hoping it will! My last one was also April hon, try stay positive, I know it's hideously hard esp when pregnant ladies are everywhere !!! Some lovely groups on here for great support and giggles :-) xxx

don't lose hope. if you had started ttc for the first time in April you would still think its early days and probably not be the slightest bit worried. this being more fertile after a mc thing is pants, and I'm not sure any truth in it. definitely a very unhelpful thing for people to say, everyone said it to me after mine until I got quite rude saying really and you have the stats to prove that? well I was emotional!
really though I felt I was desperately trying to get pregnant because well I should be and I had been cheated out of it. its a separate thing, when you do get pregnant again it will most likely make your miscarriage less raw in your mind but it won't replace it. its a sad thing but you will learn to live with it.
it took me 9 months to conceive again.
good luck.

hi Bridget
I'm so similar to you. Had a MMC in march and no joy since. All my friends I met through DC1 are on to number two - either had it or are pregnant again so am finding it so so tough. I'm also petrified of a massive age gap.
I do however know people who have got pregnant after miscarriage so there is hope... And yours is only very recent. Some times the body needs time to sort itself out rather than be 'fertile' after mc. So that's probably what yours and mine are doing. Big hugs as I totally know how you feel xx

Ps. Agree with happy that the fertile after mc is boll*x and gives everyone false hope / expectation you will be pregnant again in no time. Please give yourself and your body a chance
