I had a miscarriage on the 13th July at around 5 weeks pregnant(my first ever miscarriage) I have a daughter who is 3. I had a negative pregnancy test on the 21st July. Just had a positive ovulation test today and we have been trying but I feel so scared about my body being ready to try again and be pregnant. I desperately want another baby but don't think I'll ever get over this anxious feeling about my body being ready. Anyone been through this and have fallen pregnant so close to a miscarriage? Advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’m similar but different.
I have a two year old, and want another child, just had a miscarriage at 6 weeks at the start of the month. and have ovulated this last week, we have decided to try straight after but only because I don’t want a another summer baby so that means we have to pause it for 5 months after this cycle.
I have had two miscarriages before my daughter. The first was a loss at 5 weeks, 2 cycles later we got pregnant again but had a miscarriage a bit further along at 12 weeks. I was traumatised after that one, and we basically stopped trying for 6 months because my body was so knarcked.
Luckily we got my daughter on the first try and she stuck 6 months later.
But I currently have a 25% success rate at having a baby, and even just the thought of trying makes me feel like I’m one and done. Because it’s all so physically and mentally demanding, and pregnancy does not agree with me at all, but I also know my family isn’t quite complete.
