So this is sort of really long post. I’m looking for any and all advice you guys can give me.

My and my boyfriend found out we were pregnant a little after thanksgiving 2017. It was a complete surprise, but we were so happy to have another baby (our daughter turned 2 in March). I miscarried a little after the 8 week mark and we were devastated. It’s been about 4 and a half months since the miscarriage and we decided we wanted to start trying this month. So we went and bought some ovulation tests and I started taking them a day after my fertile window started. I took 7 tests and none of them showed a surge. This has me feeling pretty discouraged and a bit confused. Is it possible that my body is still trying to get back to the normal?

Also, I’m dealing with a lot of personal struggles. I gained 30 pounds after I miscarried, so there’s definitely a lot of self-image issues. Along with that, I struggle with depression and anxiety. Both have been flaring up super bad in the last month or so. With all of that, I’m beginning to feel like it’s not the best time to start trying for a baby. I did start changing around my eating habits and exercising more and I’m working on getting my meds straightened out again.

I guess I really would like advice from other moms or soon-to-be moms that also struggle with depression/anxiety and from those who have had big changes to their body after miscarriage.

Thank you all in advance. I truly appreciate any advice 🖤
