Miscarriage and Trying to Concieve

[Anxious4baby]

I was just wonder if there is anyone out there that has any suggestions or stories about ttc soon after miscarriage. I am now just waiting for AF, but my HCG levels are negative now and I am just waiting so I have a date. I want to know if anyone has concieved very soon after miscarriage and what their out come was?  I haven heard any evidence of concieving to soon causes another miscarriage and most dr recommend 1-3 month for emotional reasons. I want to ttc soon , but I just wanted some personal opinions other than the dr.s. Thanx for any feedback at all.

I had a nartural miscarriage at 4 1/2 weeks, so do you think I would still be at a great risk.  Thanx

I had a MC in Sept and am 11 weeks pregnant now.  I got pregnant again without getting AF.  I was scared of another MC, but so far everything is okay.  Good luck to you.

i had a m/c 5 wks ago monday and my period just started on sat 6th i am going to ttc as soon as i stop bleeding (sorry)
the doctor said 1 cycle was fine, there was no med reason why not? I think alot say 2-3 cycles for emotional reasons but if you feel upto it, then go for it.
There was another topic simular to this further down.
Many people i heared have got pg 2 wks after m/c and had good outcomes.
let us know how you get on.
Im so excited that i'm having my period..lol and that i can ttc again very soon. praying for an october babie?

I had a blighted ovum and had a m/c at 11 weeks, I did m/c naturally, but had to take some pills to help induce it as I was still going strong at 11 weeks and it could have still been awhile till I m/c on my own.  I know that Dr.'s will recommend waiting also if you have had a d&c to give your body time to heal from the procedure, plus it can take a few cycles to get your body back in sync, it can be harder to track your cycle the first few after a m/c because they can be a little off.  My Dr. told me that if I felt I was ready to ttc again I could start right after I stopped bleeding from the m/c.  I waited and had one af and got pregnant right after that.  I wasn't really ttc at the time, I thought it was late in my cycle, but again, your body can be off.  It was a nice surprise, but a little scary till I made it through the first trimester.  Everything was fine, I was just nervous that something would go wrong.  Anyway, I got pregnant not even 5 weeks after I started to bleed from my m/c and am at 27 weeks 5 days with a healthy baby boy.  Everything has been great so far and my Dr. just had me come in for some early u/s in the beginning to ease my mind, but there has been no problems at all.  I would ttc when you are ready, good luck.

I had a miscarriage on 11/16 at 5 wks 2 days. I got pregnant again on 11/28 and am now 8 wks 2 days. We saw strong heartbeat and things are going great so far. It does happen. Good luck and baby dust to you!!

I had a natural miscarriage at 5 1/2 weeks in July.  I am now 22 weeks pregnant.  I never got AF and found out I was pregnant again.  I also had an ulrasound at 5 weeks and 7 weeks this time just to make sure everything was OK.  I also had an ultrasound at 20 weeks and everything looked good.  We are having a baby girl.  I think you just worry more after you have had a miscarriage, I know I did.  Good luck to you!! :)

I had a chemical pregnancy in November and am now about 5wks...I'm super nervous but working on being stress free since it'll be better for the baby!  Good luck to you!

[Anxious4baby]

Thank You all for your stories. It really makes me feel better hearing it from people that have actually gone through it again rather than hearing it from the dr. I was also told that alot of the reason they tell you to wait if you have a natural miscarriage is because it is easier to figure out how far along you are. But my hcg levels are neg. now so atleast I know that I can start.  I have done ALOT of research and this helps me make my decision.  Thanx again

My friend had a mc at 9 wks. The Dr told her to wait 3 cycles.  She didn't listen and became pregnant again before he AF.  She mc'd again at 7 wks.  No one can say for sure that she mc'd because of not waiting and giving her body time to replenish the uterine lining.

[jenstam]

Yes, I was told by my doctor that the only reason they like you to wait for at least one AF is so that they can date the pregnancy better. I never had AF but knew I had ovulated 12 days after my miscarriage. I was right on! The U/S showed the baby measured exactly to the day that I said I ovulated, so dating this pregnancy has not been difficult. Just keep track of when you know you ovulate-which may be sooner than you think! If you go out and buy OPK's that can help you be even more accurate. Good luck!!

[Anxious4baby]

I am new to this, um what is an OPK. :) Thanx

[tina1111]

I'm new too. Ovulation Prediction Kit. Took me a while to figure it out. I just mc last week and am wanting to try asap, too.  Good luck!

[Anxious4baby]

Oh. Ok. I never heard of that. Do you know how acurate they are?

[jenstam]

They are quite accurate. I know some brands are better than others. If you go to peeonastick.com it will tell you the ones they say are best. Mine was accurate I got pregnant the day it had the darkest line! Good luck!

[Anxious4baby]

Wow. Thank You all for all of your help!! :) I will keep you all updated.

I m/c around 20th nov 06 and am now around 5-6 weeks pregnant.

I m/c naturally at 6 weeks. This baby came by itself, we've been trying for 4 yrs and the only time i ovulated is when i was on fertility drugs, so it was a major shock when i did a preg test and got a big fat +, im still in shock even though i've had a blood test to totally confirm it.

[greeneyezinma]

i had a m/c 3 weeks ago and am trying again i was 11weeks and prayed to became pregnant it was very heart breaking but now i want to have a concieve asap doc says to wait the time length you were pregnant , but ya right im 31 and want to have a baby. do u think im crazy?

My OBYGN just said to wait one menstrual cycle.  He did say some doctors recommend 3 cycles, but a lot of times it is so that emotional healing is done.  He did say that one cycle is good because then you know your body has healed.  I have also heard other women say their doctor told them to wait a cycle to help with dates if you get pregnant again.  I waited one cycle,  which took 8 weeks after the miscarriage.  I have had period after that and it was 2 weeks late.  I would at least wait on cycle just so you know everything is ok with your body...but I have read about plenty of women on this board that conceived right after miscarraige and had healthy pregnancy/baby.  Good Luck.

I RECENTLY HAD A M/C JULY 25, 2009 I WAS 19 WKS. I WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE LABOR. MY WATER BROKE AND I WENT INTO LABOR A FEW HOURS LATER. IS IT SAFE TO GET PREGNANT AFTER THE 3RD WEEK OF M/C? I FEEL LIKE IM READY. IM NOT BLEEDING ANYMORE AFTER THE M/C. BUT IM KIND OF SCARRED OF GETTING PREGNANT AGAIN AND HAVING ANOTHER M/C...
