Conceiving after unplanned ended in MC

[everythingprettypink]

Recently miscarried at 7+6 weeks after finally getting head around unplanned pregnancy. Had a 'reassurance' scan that showed no heartbeat, then miscarried few days later. I am left feeling quite traumatised by the whole thing. Very low mood a lot of the time and tears that come from no where.

And considering I didn't originally want children (and bizarrely I'm still not even sure I do - but I think it's more fear than anything) I just feel obsessed with being pregnant again.

We had become so excited for everything ahead.

I'm a week post MC, just wondering what other people's experiences have been - when did you try to conceive again? I actually feel well enough to be able to DTD as bleeding has stopped/no pain etc but not even sure this is a good idea?!

Our situation was different as we were actively TTC when we miscarried. We started trying again from the very next cycle as I was coming up 35 and felt time wasn’t on our side and fell pregnant a few months later in April. Mentally and emotionally I was nowhere near ready to climb back on this rollercoaster, even though it’s a very much wanted baby. The first 12wks were full of horrendous anxiety (which still comes and goes now) and in honesty if I’d have been younger I’d have given myself some time to recover before trying again.

My sister had the same situation. Unplanned, loss and then realised she actually wants one. I'm sorry for your loss. Your hormones are prob all over the place as your body readjusts.
She waited for one period and then actively tried and was pregnant in the month after. Good luck x
