I miscarried earlier this year, a week before my niece's first birthday. I was almost 9 weeks along and getting ready to head home to see my family and celebrate my niece's first birthday. She was almost 9 weeks premature so she's definitely a little miracle herself. That was in April. I got back onto my cycle pretty quick after all the cramping and bleeding stopped. I just noticed today that I'm 4 days late on my period and for a while I was actually getting my cycle a day earlier. I'm so afraid to check. We aren't trying but part of me is so hopeful that I'm pregnant again. We just bought our first house and we have actually kept a bedroom free of any storage for a future nursery. But I'm so afraid to go through another loss. When should I test? How do I prepare myself? Either way it'll be hard. To be pregnant and worry about another loss, or to not be pregnant and still feel the pain of my precious loss.
