struggling with the idea of birth control

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
At my last appointment my doctor said it was normal to want to wait a while before TTC again, and asked if I wanted to talk about BC options.  This was a few weeks ago, and I just didn't think he was right.  I thought I would want to just get right back to it.  Now I feel like I need more time,. but I am really struggling with it.  It took me over a year to get pregnant to begin with...so I feel sort of guilty I guess for wanting to give it a little time before trying again.  Did anyone else struggle with this?  Thanks.

    I miscarried in September. It was a surprise pregnancy, so we are waiting until february to TTC again. I don't want to go on bc because I am sensitive to hormones and I feel sick the first 2 or 3 months I start taking it. So we are waiting, but for different reasons. You should do what is best for you and try not to over think it at this point. While we wish we were still pregnant, it is terrifying to think about being pregnant again. Good luck.

    I don't want to do anything to my body! If you can temp and avoid sex around ovulation, I think the odds are in your favor making it bc.

    I don't think there is anything wrong at all with wanting more time!!  You need to give yourself time to grieve your loss, and you want to be in the right mindset when you get pg again.

    I didn't have any trouble with b/c, so I think if it's the same for you and you don't want to get pg right now, it is a good decision.

    *hugs* I am so sorry for your loss.

    I don't have normal periods, so I will be going back on b/c right after the D&C. My doctor said it has healing properties and can help you get back in shape to ttc if you want to do so. Obviously we haven't decided yet if or when we want to do so, but at least with b/c I'll have regular cycles.
