Miscarriage and starting over

[jmg12345]

Hello everyone, I am new to this site starting this month! I noticed this site is great for support. I am starting my journey in motherhood and two weeks ago exactly had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. I wonder how soon should I start over within a month. I feel like I have grieved and have tried to process fully with friends and family. I know a lot of people talk about taking some emotional time off and starting again months after. I am thirty so It was hard for me, but I still want to try again soon with my husband, is this too soon? I know it's important to process and grieve, but I want to also be whole and begin growing my family.

Thank you for reading. I look forward to your replies

Hi I had a missed miscarriage in September 2018, we started trying again after I had my first period following the miscarriage and I was pregnant by the November.

I felt in a hurry to try again and that I was completely ready to try again, I think it's totally dependent on how you feel and only you can know if you're ready.

My little girl is 5 months old now and just perfect so it was definitely the right time for me to try again.

Good luck xx

Sorry for your loss.

I guess it does differ with each person. The grieving process can take a really long time but it doesn't mean it can't be alongside something positive and hopeful ... What I mean is I felt sad in a healthy way about my loss for about a year ( I had been trying for a long time) and although it got easier during that time and even though I was pregnant by the time I would have been due with my lost one, I was still grieving, but that was okay. So I was happy and sad if you see what I mean.

It also depends on how traumatic the miscarriage itself was...as to how much time you might need.

Generally having a one cycle break is good to balance back out, as you may find your cycles don't click instantly... so you might start bleeding sooner than you would expect your next period for example...

If you feel healthy physically and mentally then trust yourself

Good luck x
