My sister struggled to conceive and went through several rounds of IVF and a mc before getting pregnant with her son. This was really emotionally and physically draining for her, not to mention it cost a fortune which I wouldn’t be able to match.

My mum had a mc before I was born and both of my grandmothers had stillborns.

I am going to ttc at the end of this year, but I’ve already convinced myself that I won’t be able to conceive and will have the same problems my sister did. I know it sounds silly, but I can’t stop thinking about it. Has anyone felt similar?

My mum and older sister had miscarriages, I went on to have a mc before each successful pregnancy too but my twin sister has had 2 healthy pregnancies. 1in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage it’s a really common thing that affects so many more women than you realise unless you have been affected. Good luck with ttc, I hope you have a perfect pregnancy first time, the risk is definitely worth the reward!

My sister tried for 5+ years to conceive, only managed to conceive via IVF and lost the first one to a mmc. Then had a successful pregnancy, she's now having her second child via IVF. My other sister only has to try for one month and conceives instantly. Having her second child now, no miscarriages etc.
I don't conceive instantly but after a few months, one son, one mmc and almost 38 weeks with my daughter.

You may be fine, don't stress too much x
