Disappointed after period
My husband and I have started trying for a second baby. It’s only been 1 month but I’ve just got my period and I’m feeling sad & disappointed.
With our first baby we were extremely lucky and conceived quickly, and I think I’ve been naive thinking it could be that quick the second time around. I had an emergency c-section with my first and now I’m feeling paranoid, thinking that the internal “damage” could be making it harder to conceive. I know I’m being silly & overthinking, and it’s only been a month…just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar boat and felt the same way?

I think you’ve answered the question yourself 🥺 ‘it’s only been 1 month’.
You’re already subconsciously thinking about it this time round, meaning when you’re trying, your body won’t be as relaxed the first time around.
It’s hard to not compare to the first time around, but one cycle isn’t really enough to suggest anything would be wrong, so just be kind to yourself, you’ve started trying, just enjoy it 🥰.
It takes a healthy person 6-12 months🫶🏼When my midwife asked if it was planned and how long it took i said 3 months, she said wow thats so quick. Be easy on yourself i was the same as you💗
At least you had your period, I gave birth to the first 20 months ago and after I stopped contraception to try I didn’t have a period for 5 months more or less just some weird patterns bleeding and I have PCOS to it’s impossible to know when I ovulate
Just wanted to share my position so you can know you are not the only one and definitely 1 month is a very short time, you are definitely now ‘out of target’ keep trying and it will happen
I’ve been trying since January I’m currently on my second miscarriage since then I fell pregnant with my first after 3 months I think 12 months is the normal amount of time to get pregnant don’t be hard on yourself x
