Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has any advice? I had a MC in June, I was 10 weeks at the time and I was absolutely heartbroken. I got pregnant in the first cycle we really tried and I was so excited at the time after never feeling maternal before.

I felt so ashamed of the MC, I am only due back at work this week and the thought of facing my bosses who knew is making me not want to do back, despite them being lovely to me.

I had the discussion with my partner and decided that we would like to TTC after having a period, but now I am wondering if my want to get pregnant so badly is just a way of me dealing with the MC, it’s something else to focus on, a craving for what could have been.

The last month I have been BBT charting and it seems to have completely consumed me, now I am wondering if it would be worth just having a month or so off thinking about it, no charting, no testing and just seeing what happens. Maybe the pressure I am putting on myself to conceive again is affecting me more than I think.

I would love to hear from anyone else in the same position, thanks for reading.

I had a MMC in May and we found out at 13 weeks, though the baby was measuring 10 weeks. It is still really painful to think about now but we decided to TTC after the first period. It took a couple of months for my periods to settle down and we conceived this month. Obviously I am happy to be pregnant again and we have to deal with the anxiety that comes with that. Every day I worry the same thing will happen to us again but I know we have to go through it again to get our rainbow baby. My husband and I constantly remind ourselves that we are not trying to replace the baby that was lost and we will always remember those 13 weeks when we were so happy to be pregnant for the first time.
