I'm just looking for inspiration at the moment and some kind of hope. When I was 17 (10 years ago), I got pregnant. I was too young and completey not ready for a baby, but I carried a healthy baby until just over 12 weeks when I had a termination. The reason I had it done so late was because I was in complete denial about the whole thing. Even though I'd missed a few periods, I'd put it down to the stress of doing my exams but deep down I knew I was pregnant but didn't accept this until I was about 11/12 weeks.
Anyway, 10 years on, I have just had to have another termination, not through choice this time. I have been married for just over a year and a half and have been with my husband, in total, for 8 years. We started trying for a baby back in August this year. Found out I was pregnant in October so it didn't take long but then I had a missed miscarriage at 7 weeks 2 days. Found out at my 12 week scan with no symptoms of a miscarriage at all. We were both absolutely devastated.
Anyway, I just want to hear from anyone who has gone on to get pregnant straight after their first miscarriage and had a healthy baby 9 months later. I'd especially like to know how long it took you to conceive again. I'm hoping it won't take me long as it didn't the first and second time around (obviously the first was just a one off accident). We are going to start trying again as soon as my bleeding has completely stopped, which I think will be soon (had my ERPC on Monday).
