High anxiety and stress TTC after miscarriage

Hi all.
After a blighted ovum a few months ago and a chemical this month, we are TTC... again.
Tonight I was so stressed, I just couldn't even go through with naturally being intimate with my husban. It was very mechanic and definitely very uncomfortable for him as well. So it didn't happen in the end.
Then I took an ovulation test and was a definite positive even though I was expecting it to take another couple of days. Now I m even more stressed that I ve just lost another month as the chances for this one I'm guessing decreased dramatically.
I just don't know how to handle this situation anymore.
Thanks.

Hey, sending you a big hug for your recent losses❤️ I’ve had a mmc and a chemical pregnancy in the last few months so we sound similar! if your test is only just peak you may have an extra day or so, don’t lose hope🤞🏻 it’s definitely easier said than done and you are not alone! Xxx

Sorry for your losses @Tryingagain01. I know how you’re feeling - we went through similar after consecutive miscarriages. We bought plastic syringes and sample pots, and at times when things felt forced we’d use artificial insemination. We were both keen that it didn’t replace intimacy so used them only a handful of times, but it actually really helped as it meant whenever we were intimate we genuinely wanted to be, and when we weren’t feeling it or felt I’ll or whatever there was no pressure or stress. It’s not for everyone but thought I’d share in case it helps. Good luck for the rest of your journey.

Thank you both so much. I certainly don't wish this to anyone, but it helps to hear from people who actually understand. @hotpotatocake very helpful suggestion. Thanks.

Best wishes!

Could’ve written this myself ♥️ We’re trying to conceive a few months after our mmc and I feel so much pressure. each month that goes by adds extra weight to the sadness and then guilt/panic that I’m too worked up for my body to be in the right place hormonally! No words or advise but feeling the feels with you lovely xxx

@Babydustmamma so sorry you're going through this as well. I know how everyone says we need to relax... easier said than done...

Hope we will meet in a post in the near future to discuss our pregnancies. 🤗 Take care.
