After the miscarriage, I continue to eat nutrient dense food (raw milk, raw yogurt, eggs etc), drink red raspberry leave tea, take cod liver oil daily. My menstrual cycle started 28 days after the miscarriage. And I ovulated in that same cycle. I’m so pleased that my body has recovered so quickly.
Although the mid-wife advised to wait for 3 cycles before TTC (trying to conceive), the results from my research on the internet lead me to the conclusion that if my body is healthy, there are absolutely no problems trying. Also, I’m of the opinion that if the body isn’t ready for it, then I won’t get pregnant.
Emotionally, I recovered surprising quickly from the experience. I can think of a few reasons. I didn't keep the news from my friends and it was really good to get their prayers and support when the pregnancy didn't work out. I did adopt a wait and see attitude till the first scan at week twelve. Reading the forums on other mothers' experiences and how they coped with their miscarriages and writing down my own experience have really helped me to get it out of my system. Having the faith and knowledge that God's design is perfect, I'm thankful that the body knows when not to allow unhealthy conception to continue.
