Nearly 37 - MMC - TTC NO. 1 - POSITIVE THOUGHTS NEEDED!

[mbovary]

Hi All,

It's nice to meet all of you. I'm hoping to make some friends on this forum and find some support.

Here's my story in short:

I've been with my partner for 10 years. We got married 18 months ago, but did not start TTC straight away. We started trying in February of this year, and I got pregnant. Unfortunately I had a missed miscarriage at 10.5 weeks (the baby's heartbeat had stopped at 6.5 weeks though). I got my AF 26 days after the bleeding from the miscarriage stopped (sorry, probably TMI), approximately 1 month after the start of the miscarriage. We did not start TTC immediately after the event, on the advice of my doctor and the sonographer. This is my first cycle after AF and we are TTC - however, I have been quite stressed out with wondering if I'm even ovulating and if my second AF will be on time! This just isn't conducive to our relationship. I love my husband and I want to have a baby with him. Right now, I just feel completely lost. I am actually due to go on holiday in 2 weeks and will see my cousin's wife, who is pregnant with her second child (and the child will only be 7 weeks older than mine would have been). I'm trying to stay positive, especially as the sonographer told me my uterus looks fine, I do have eggs and we can try again. Can anyone share some positive thoughts?

Hello!

I didn't want to read and run.

I guess my only advice is just to try and keep positive. The more stress you put on yourself the more damage that will do for your body and relationship.

Enjoy the baby making process

As for your pregnant relative, that will undoubtably be hard. I had a colleague at work in the same situation, and eventually I felt myself feeling happy for her. My feelings of hurt and jealously went away.

There's no right or wrong, and everyone is different. How you handle it will be the right way
