Go Around on Final Circling

Hello all...

I still haven't got to grips with this scenario...

If you're executing a circling procedure, and when you're finishing your turn to the final, you loose visual contact with the runway (i.e. visibility, fog, etc.) how do you carry your go around, since its course is 180 degrees on your tail?

Is there anything specific about this, different positions in circling maneuver, how to initiate the missed approach?

All I've heard is to begin your turn in the direction of the runway, since you're obstacle free there... But then what? In that worst scenario I've described, on final, where you're most certainly going on the wrong way of the missed approach, how one does that?

Do you blindly pull up and turn in the direction of the circling turn? Still that doesn't account to the fact that you're in TO/GA, and your turn radius will be far larger than your normal circling distance.

What am I missing here?

Thanks!
