I am 3 weeks post D&C and just had my post op appointment. My doctor has originally told me that I needed to wait 2 cycles, which is pretty normal but my cycle after going off birth control last January has been 40+ days, so if that stays consistent I have that fewer chances to conceive and to be told I need to skip 2 of those chances was dissapointing. So I was really excited when he told me DH and I can start trying again August 1st. As excited as I am to start TTC again, can't help being scared as well. I got pregnant really quickly this last time, but things weren't right from the very beginning. Terrified that it won't happen as quickly again. Terrified to have it happen quickly again because I'm terrified of going in for my first ultra sound again to find something wrong. My silver lining in all this has been that it has made me realize just how badly I want to be a mother, not that I didn't want to be before I just didn't feel it as strongly as I thought other women were, but that has all changed, which terrifies me too. How are others feeling about starting to TTC again?

Thanks ladies. Definitely trying to not let the fear consume me, but know that it will probably not go away...probably ever. Definitely understand my mom a lot better, never understood why she was such a worrier, haha, now I get it.

DH and I are officially trying again. Last Saturday was my doctor's all clear to stop using protection. AF hasn't arrived yet, would be awesome if she never did, but not counting on that, ha! I am not temping or using OPKs but am trying to pay attention to CM so I at least have some idea. Think I have had EWCM the last couple of days, so hoping maybe I ovulated or will soon. Now the nerves are kicking in...worrying that I didn't think about it and had two beers tonight, I know it probably wouldn't do anything, but after a loss you question whether every little thing you did "wrong" may have been the reason. Ugh now I wait....
