Trying again

Has anyone gotten pregnant after their miscarriage but before their first period. I had surgical management on the 17th and told to wait for at least one period. I have PCOS so could be waiting for that one period for months but I’m desperate to try again.

I was a month away from having my second daughter. Tuesday the 15th I had an OB visit. Heart rate was in the 130s. The doctor had pushed kind of hard to be able to "wake her up" and get it on the monitor. Everything was fine that night. She didn't move much the next day, but I didn't think a lot of it because the ...

Anxiety

I’m TTC for the first time after miscarriage last year. I’m really struggling with anxiety. Anxious about being pregnant (still waiting) and anxious about losing again. I’m just a ball of anxiety at the moment. If you’ve been there, what’s your advice?
