My little boy was stillborn in March and after 8 weeks and lots of tears and talking we are back TTC again. I have age against me so I feel like I don't have a lot of time to waste but having said that, it was important to me that we honoured the loss of our much wanted son and took the time to grieve him. We will always grieve his loss but we desperately want a living baby to love so hence we are TTC again so quickly. We do have clearance from my OB and TCM to start again, so we know that physically I am ok. Mentally/emotionally it will probably be a different story and even now I don't know how I will be with my next pg. I do want to try to not let the negativity of the first pg to overshadow what should be a happy time, so I am sure that will take a lot of effort on my part each day, as well as a few more counselling sessions!
I have read lots of stories on pg loss and TTC again. It really is a personal decision. No one can tell you to wait 12 months (which I have heard/read) or anything else. You will know in yourself when the time is right. All I can say is to be gentle on yourself.
