Coping with the TWW

Hello,

My husband and I are 34 and have been trying to conceive our second baby for over a year. We are currently under ther fertility clinic through the NHS. We were lucky enough to fall pregnant in Sept 2024, but miscarried late November.

The miscarriage was pretty straight forward and no intervention was required and my normal cycle was back 6 weeks later.

After actively trying again this month, using OPK to track my peak I'm now in the TWW and really struggling. I feel like I am constantly on google and spotting every single symptom in the hope that it leads to the BFP. I have had over a year in the same situation once the dreaded two weeks arrive, but this time I've felt incredibly lonely, worried and upset. Almost like I know it's failed again. Im wondering if since the miscarriage my hormones have multiplied.

Does anyone have any guidance or tips of how to deal with the TWW, and stop minds from obsessing? I have chosen not to test, as I'm terrified of the potential negative result and wait until AF arrives, if it does.

Thank you in advance, from one desperate mummy to another xx

Hey

I'm so sorry about your MC ❤️

We've been TTC number 2 for 18 months. Had quite a few tests, scans etc and nothing has shown as abnormal. Been quite the shock as our son was conceive cycle 1.

Exactly as you describe I have been there. I was so stressed the first year that my cycles got shorter.

I'm afraid I don't have any magic cure, but what's helped me is going back to the gym which has been my saviour. So anything you love doing or hobby?

Also talking about it. I'm very open with family and friends. It has shocked me how many people have ended up pregnant (naturally) after up to two years of trying.

I'm sorry you're going through this, it really is so lovely.
