I want to say something but not sure how to put it so I hope it doesn't sound patronising as it's supposed to empathy. I miscarried at 7 weeks on 14 April and was fairly devastated to say the least. Although I had done a home test I hadn't got it confirmed at the doc's until the day before (yes, Friday 13th!!!). It was the confirmation from the doc that made it all real.
Anyhow, without going into too much information I bled for 6 weeks and then when I thought it had all finished I got my period a couple of days later. Having gone through every single emotion going during that time I finally felt more positive about everything once my period had arrived. I suppose it was because getting my period meant that this was physically at an end (even if not mentally).
I have ummed and aarhed over trying again but to be honest I can't see my self only ever having one child. I always wanted 2 and I don't see why I should let this stop me from trying again and although I am crapping my self about trying again I am going to after my next period. I'm 37 years old and don't have time on my side.
However, only you can decide on whether you try again. You don't have to stay strong all of the time. I don't but I do try.

Hi Jamjar, you don't sound patronising at all. I am pleased my af turned up as like you say it means physically my body has moved on. As for ttc this was my second mc and having seen our babies heartbeats and having pictures of them this time it was very real. There were a lot of things the hospital could have done or told us at the time that would have helped us but they didn't. We will try again as I feel that if I don't this has all been for nothing. I am 38 and had always thought we would have finished our family before now, but after a year of trying and 2 mc's it's not over yet. I am not so obsessed anymore about ttc as I want everything to be right to give us the optimum chance of a healthy baby.
