Hi Ladies, I was really unsure whether to write this on here as I have never used it before but I feel I have no one else to talk to. None of my friends have been through this so its very hard for them to understand. I suffered from a missed miscarriage in February 2019 and then I feel pregnant pretty quickly but unfortunately it was a molar pregnancy. My husband would like to start trying again but I am very scared and worried. I don't know if I will ever feel ready as so much has happened in the last year. Do you have any advise?

I'm so sorry for your losses. The truth is you will likely feel anxious whenever you next fall pregnant whether it be soon or months down the line. If you feel ready to conceive again, perhaps take the pressure off trying and just not use protection? But no tracking etc for a while. Otherwise if you truly dont feel ready then wait, there will come a time when your want will outweigh your fear.

I don't know how you know you are ready. I have just had my second missed miscarriage after my first we started trying again as soon as we can but took 8 months to get pregnant again. Had medical management for a missed miscarriage on Saturday and not sure if I can face trying again.
Have a 6 year old but would love another child.
I have been referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic because I am 38 turn 39 in March going to go to appointment to see of they can find any reason while it keeps happening.
It's so hard because if I knew the next pregnancy would be successful I would go for it but can't face another miscarriage. You are not alone.

Essexgirlupnorth, I really feel your pain, I never knew how hard it would be going through a miscarriage and the pain and hurt that stays with you after. Like you say, if you know the next one is going to be successful of course I would do it tomorrow but I am so scared its going to happen again and I am not sure if I can mentally and physically deal with it again. Its been 6 months now and of course I would love to have a baby but I am so worried its going to happen again. Thank you Jemma2907, maybe we will give that a try!
