How to get pregnant again
How I did it: It was difficult to start trying to get pregnant after a loss. It really took about two months of trying to get pregnant, but the rest of the time I just wasn't emotionally ready. With my son and also with the pregnancy that we loss, the anxiety mostly subsided once we saw the positive pregnancy test. It completely subsided once we heard the heartbeat. With this pregnancy it was difficult to go back to trusting that everything would be okay, especially when they were having difficulty with the ultrasound. But, somewhere along the way I had to take hold of my fears or I was going to miss this miracle unfolding within me and the joy that being pregnant gives.
Lessons & tips: Wait until you are ready for it (emotionally) if doing it after a loss, but when you do, throw yourself into the joy of it once your doc says everything is fine. Don't miss the whole things by having a dark cloud of fear and anxiety putting a pall on things.
