I had a medical abortion at 8weeks in March 2023 due to a number of personal reasons, the main one was my physical health at the time pending surgery which was undertaken at the start of the year and I was extremely unwell, admitted to hospital numerous times, lots of tests, etc. The pregnancy obviously was not planned and came as a complete shock. As soon as the pregnancy was over, I deeply regretted it and spent months working through it mentally. It was possibly the hardest things I've had to cope with, I feel like I shut down completely. It was heartbreaking, but I know it just was not the right time.
Fast forward to now and my partner and I have discussed starting our family, we're both in our early 30s and have been together over 10 years. It is a much better time, and I've recovered completely from the earlier surgery and I desperately want to see those two lines again on a test and (hopefully) have a more positive experience but I am so scared of the TTC journey. I was assumed a medical adoption should not impact on getting pregnant in the future and we've been loosely trying for the last few months (tracking cycles, but not doing ovulation tests, etc) and so far, nothing so I guess it's time to start tracking properly.
Has anyone else been through anything similar and gone on to conceive a health pregnancy? ♥️
