I’m sorry. Flowers

It can take a while for tests to show as negative and then you should ovulate again within a couple of weeks of that happening. You say your pregnancy was perfectly normal - did you have tests to see what happened?

Hey yes my first pregnancy was perfectly normal 2 years ago this time I miscarried at 6 weeks no checks or anything started bleeding Thursday 30th scan on sunday 2nd they said incomplete miscarriage stoped bleeding buy monday. I just really wana move on but am obsessing about trying again as it's the only way I feel I will move on from this. Am I being silly and selfish. Since I stopped bleeding shall I start trying even if tests still show positive

I was told to wait to my next cycle. And leave it 3 wks before testing. If test is still positive go back to GP as it may mean you haven,t fully got rid of everything.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

I had a MMC a year and a half after my first (problem free pregnancy).

It took five weeks after my surgery for me to get a negative test, so it can take a while. I preferred to wait until I got a negative, just so there was no confusion around dating. I conceived the first month after, and everything has been problem free so far.

Lastly - I genuinely don't mean this to sound harsh, but: 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage. That means most women with a family of two or three kids will have had one at some point. I know very few women who haven't. What you're going through is very painful, but it's a also very normal. A shitty normal, but normal nonetheless. There is no reason to think your next pregnancy won't be as successful as your first.
