Anxious to get Pregnant Again

[Gina209]

I miscarried my first baby on Thanksgiving...my husband & I were devastated. They did my blood and exam this morning and thankfully everything came out on its own (since I was only 6 weeks) and my doctor said as long as we are emotionally ready we can try again. We want to start trying ASAP but I feel like I am just so anxious. To be pregnant one moment and than wake up the next morning and not be is the most traumatic thing I've ever experienced. My body and my mind just wants and needs to be pregnant right away...I just feel like I can't wait to ttc and than wait to actually take a test and than confirm it...that just seems like weeks and weeks. I would love to be pregnant before Christmas. I guess I just need some words of wisdom...how do I cope with this time? Does it go by fast and I will find myself pregnant in no time? I got pregnant very fast the first time and I heard you are extremely fertile after a mc. I just need some advice and thoughts.

I had a missed m/c and needed a d&c, all of this happened at the end of sept. It is the hardest thing to do! I really wanted to become pregnant again right away! I started useing OPK(ovulation predi. kits) after I had my 1st period in oct. Iam now 5w2d pregnant again a scared out of my mine! I feel bad that Iam not as happy as I was with the last pregnancy, Iam more scared now. But im trying to same relax! and I think thats the best thing to do....But It did go ever fast from the m/c to now! I hope you all the best! ANd just remember that your body will get pregnant again when its ready!!!

I just want to wish you luck.  I miscarried in October, and we are still TTC, we are hoping it happens before Christmas.  I know what you mean about being preggo one day and not the next.  I miscarried at around 11 weeks, but lost the baby at 6, so it is hard to just be getting used to the fact that you are preggo, and then having that taken away from you.  TTC this time has been a lot harder and more stressful since we both want it so bad.  When my period came after two BFN's, it was really hard on me and DH, but we were also happy to know that my body was beginning to regulate itself...now it is just the waiting game that is driving us crazy!  But we have everything crossed for a BFP before Christmas, and I wish you and your husband the same!

I think you need to trust your body and let nature run it's course. You may be ready, but your body may not be strong enough to handle such a big task. Have you tried exercise and eating healthy? I believe patience is a virtue and it will make it worth while for you and your husband, but give it some time let your body relax and then try it again perhaps instead of Christmas aim for New Years and start it off right! In order to cope with it just talk with your husband. Let out all your feelings.....don't be afriad to cry it's okay to feel this way. Did you know 50% of women miscarry? It's not unusual you just have to see there is a time for everything. A time to sleep, eat, and even have kids.
