How Do You Know When You're Ready After Miscarriage?
I suffered a miscarriage a few months ago. I had naturally conceived triplets, and then over time I lost all three. There's a large part of me that just wants to get pregnant again right away (I feel like I should be pregnant, so I need to get pregnant, if that makes sense). On the other hand, I feel guilty that I'm rushing to "replace" my triplets (never mind the very real fear of another miscarriage). So, for those of you who were in this situation, how did you know when you were ready to try again?

Very sorry for ur loss!!
I wasn't in the same situation as u so I'm pretty sure my answer wont be very helpful. When I had my loss at 7wks (not very far, I know), I carried on trying as soon as I got my cycle. The way I view it, and this may seem harsh to some, is to move forward and carry on with my life. I try my best not to dwell on the past becuz I'm not there anymore, and I can't change it. I try to also view the positive side of it all. Something was wrong with my babies and my body did what it was supposed to. I can't fault it for that.
Like I said, most likely not helpful to u. I have a different way of dealing with things than most women. It doesn't mean I didn't care, I just care enough about me that I won't dwell on what I can't change. This is in no way an insult to u, sorry if it comes across that way.
Best of luck! U'll know when it's right for u! =))

Sorry for your loss,
I can only say you will know when you are ready. My very first pregnancy I loss at 6 weeks and was devastated but, did not stop TTCing and was successful 3 months later. My last pregnancy which ended in a MC at 18 weeks (tramatic delievery at home) I needed to take time off from TTcing to heal mentally and physically. I knew it was for the best and ended up taking a year off (it was not a conscious decision). Hubby and I just went with how we were feeling and a year just flew by. In january we felt ready to start TTCing again we feel balanced physically, mentally and emotionally.
