WHAT IN THE WORLD SHOULD I DO???
My Husband and I had a miscarriage over a year ago or so...and, right after I had my miscarriage was confirmed by a doctor through a blood test. When the nurse called me back to double confirm that I was indeed having a miscarriage, I asked her if I would have to go back in to get checked out, or have some follow up testing done or SOMETHING....but she said I didn't have to go back ever again if I didn't want to...or something like that..you know, basically just to reassure me that I didn't need to go back because I was supposedly fine. The only thing she did tell me to do was to hold off on trying to make a baby for at least 3 to 4 months or so that my body could fully recover. The reason why I am asking if I should still have follow up testing...(even though it's almost two years since the miscarriage)...is because, my husband and I have been trying ever since Father's Day of 2010 to make a baby...and now it's already January 4th 2011...and we still aren't pregnant. It's just been a little discouraging. My other questions are, what are the specific, and best days to conceive each month? How can I tell if I'm ovulating (without a ovulation predictor kit)? Is it possible that I am no longer able to conceive? Did the nurse make a mistake by telling me not to come back for a check up or follow up? Have I not fully recovered? Is there something wrong with me due to the miscarriage and the effects it had on my body? Is it possible to not ever conceive again after a miscarriage? I have heard so many things...I am confused. It is just concerning me that it is taking so long to get pregnant. The first time was really easy. My Husband and I had tried for about 4 months...and then we got pregnant. It all went by so fast...and it seemed effortless. Now it seems like such a struggle for us to conceive. What should I do?
