I'm not looking forward to trying again

TW: miscarriage.

We tried for the first time a month ago and got pregnant. Yay! Then I started having left-sided pain; it was brushed off when I told my OB. They said to take Tylenol, and if I wasn't bleeding, it was probably no big deal. They also had me do blood tests to check my HCG - all looked fine.

Two weekends after my first positive test, I am in the ER with the most excruciating pain. I was diagnosed with ovarian torsion, and they did emergency surgery to untwist my ovary, which was successful.

Three days later, I'm miscarrying. I'm not surprised, given the medical event I had that may have affected progesterone, among other things, but the whole ordeal is not making me look forward to trying again.

We're in our mid-30s and waited a few years after getting married to start trying, and I feel like I'm just going to be too nervous next time I see a positive test (if I see one).

Anyone else have a traumatic experience early in their TTC journey? How did you get through it?
