Ready to try again?

Question

How did you know you were ready to try again after a miscarriage? I had a natural miscarriage at 7 weeks, I started bleeding and passed everything the same day. Going through polls/posts on here it seems like a lot of people tried again immediately. Some days I feel like I could be ready and other days the grief comes back and I feel like I can’t breathe. 
I feel like the grief isn’t something that’s just going to go away, so how did you know?

Answer

I knew from the very beginning I was higher risk so I tried really hard not to get too attached. I'm one of those "expect the worst so you'll be surprised by the best" people. I told myself not to get excited until I saw the heartbeat. It wasn't until the night before my first US that I let myself get super excited, but that next day I found out it wasn't viable. I used the 16 days that I was bleeding to grieve. It was super hard. But once it was over I kind of just switched back into the mindset that this wasn't my fault, there was nothing I could have done differently, this was a learning situation so I could be happier for the next, and now I am desperately waiting for my first period so I can start trying. I think it's all mental. But only you can determine if you're ready or not. I still get sad. I just try to think about the future and not the past

We started trying again immediately and I got pregnant after my next cycle

Answer

I’ve had 2 blighted ovums (there was never a baby but my body didn’t realize it) and after each time, we waited a while. Like maybe 4-6 (maybe more) months.
Just found out my baby I am currently pregnant with has no heartbeat at 12 weeks.. we are going to wait a while again. We feel a little discouraged by it. 😕
It’s different for everyone and just give yourself time until you’re 100% confident.

Sorry for your loss mama. I lost my baby at 8 weeks, naturally at home too. That baby was a surprise/unplanned but still a blessing to our family. We originally want to start trying fall of 2022 (so like now). After loosing that baby I knew I didn’t want to wait for another baby but both my husband and I needed some time to heal. We are currently 6+6 with baby now. After much prayer we decided to trust God and stop trying to prevent pregnancy.

I had a mmc that was found at 12 weeks. I personally wasn't ready to get pregnant again. But we had a whoopsie 2 months later and im now 12 weeks 5 days with a baby girl. It's been hard. I'm still grieving the loss of my last baby, and I'm very fearful this time around - but I just take it a day at a time. I'm just praying this baby is healthy.

I was pregnant the next month and i my now almost 26 weeks with my baby boy ! Everyone is different and only u will know when u are ready ❤️❤️

Answer

The grief doesn’t go away. You just learn to make space for it in your life. I’ve had a stillbirth, miscarriage and an ectopic before being pregnant with my son, I’m 14 weeks. You’ll know when you’re ready.

Answer

I had a chemical at 5 weeks. Had only found out the day before I was even pregnant. For me it was so quick I didn’t really have time to process so we started trying again as soon as I stopped bleeding. I’m glad I did cause now I have a sweet little 5 week old
