Trying to Conceive a Rainbow

With the start of the New Year, we wanted to put our efforts back into trying to conceive our baby.
For the previous few months, we were just deep in grief and unable to even think about trying again; it was too soon. But now, we feel a little stronger, a little happier and with a new sense of hope, we wanted to give it a go.
This time, we would be trying for our rainbow baby.


January - I've been on pregnancy vitamins since we knew we were expecting Jesse. I haven't been drinking any alcohol, I've been sticking to a healthy diet with minimal caffeine and exercising when I can too. I've even been drinking mother kind pregnancy tea in the hope that it will balance out my body and get it more prepared to conceive and carry a baby.
It is now down to nature!
Unfortunately, there was no positive this month. So back to trying again for next month. I do feel a sense of time running out as I remember hearing that you are more fertile in the 6 months after a miscarriage.

February - With Jesse's due date looming I've felt my emotions have been all over the place. I'm not feeling particularly hopeful with how sad and low I have been.
Do you know how cruel Mother Nature is? My period is due on Jesse's due date. How horrible is that? You wouldn't wish that on anyone.
But the 28th of February arrived and my period didn't come. I held back a few days as it could be likely I was just late due to the stress and sadness I'd been feeling.
I did a pregnancy test on the 1st of March - Not pregnant.

I wasn't convinced so I went to Tesco on my lunch break and got some more tests.
One looks a faint line and the others you can't see much on.
What does it all mean!


Sam at work said I looked really well.
Emma at work mentioned my hair looked in really good condition.
Still no period.
Was this a sign?
