Getting back my normal while ttc after miscarriage

I had a miscarriage about 3 months back. We had a lot of hospital appts from about 6 weeks so it wasn’t really unexpected but still a sad and difficult time (we’d only been trying for a few months and was our first).
I had D&C after and had a normal period, so good to try again. I have tried (and mostly succeeded) to make ttc fun and relaxed after all we went through, which has been fine. But now every time I have a period I feel SO upset that it is another month gone with no bfp. I also am getting obsessed with “signs” that I might be pregnant (which usually end up being period signs...) I also feel like my life is on hold while we are trying - finding it very hard to live outside of the moment of ttc....

I know it has only been a few months but I hate being so uptight about it and just want to get back to feeling normal! Any advice for me? I don’t feel I can talk to anyone (except my OH) as we were very private about it all - only telling a couple of family members.

I also am really worried about when it does happen that I will be so scared about another miscarriage. Any tips to please help me relax and just enjoy (and hopefully manage!) ttc

You sound totally normal to me. I became a bit like that after ttc for a year and having a second chemical. I think the problem with ttc is you start when you're ready for a baby, not when you think oh maybe I could have a baby in 9 months, a year, or two?

I found counselling, antidepressants and acupuncture to be helpful at times.

Be kind to yourselves.
