Is anyone else out there in the wait between the end of a miscarriage and their first cycle ? Xx

@cobalt123 I hope it sticks for you.

I had my first post MMC period finally start on Wednesday.
I still don't feel physically or emotionally ready to start trying just yet.
Between pregnancy, loss and a sports injury since January I've put on a stone in weight and just feel so rubbish about myself.
I know pregnancy after loss is going to be stressful enough so I think we will take another 2-3 months to look after our health and get as stable as possible before we start TTC

Hi ladies can I join? I’m currently going through miscarriage number 4. I had a natural miscarriage in my 20s I have an 10yr old, both with my ex partner. With my current partner; mmc in April 25, mmc November 25 and natural miscarriage after large SCH diagnosis this week. I’m 38 and feel my time is running out. We have been referred to recurrent miscarriage service. I feel I’m loosing all hope of another baby 😔

I know what you mean about the waiting. Not the same thing but I previously felt like I spent a decade waiting for an ex partner to be ready to commit and get on with our lives together, marriage babies and all that, we did eventually get engaged but then later split up. Feel like a wasted so much time just waiting for my life to start. Meanwhile all my friends are a decade further on in life with 10 year old kids and I drifted apart from many of them as I just felt a bit shit hanging out with them.

Think I’ve learnt to be more happy with myself and find joy in my own things and be happy with accepting that’s it’s been different things that have brought me joy over the years.

This month I had actually started to feel like if it doesn’t happen to have a baby then I can come to terms with that. I’m 40 this year for context.

Low and behold though I got a bfp this morning, and confirmed with digital 🥹. So here we go again. Hoping it sticks this time so trying not to get my hopes up too much. 🤞🤞

A massive congratulations to you. And I wish you a sticky, healthy little bean🤍🤍🤍

@PurpleRoses10 sorry you’ve been through that.

im feeling the same. 37 and no kids. I don’t want to think about the future without a baby.

I am currently on cd 5. Will get the ovulation sticks back out next weekend as we’re trying naturally alongside private ivf. I’m so sick of waiting. Years and years. Gender reveal next weekend in husbands family. I need an excuse to not go. I just want the rest of the year to concentrate on myself.
