Had a missed miscarriage at 5 weeks- now I'm terrified
I am new here so hello- your posts help so much. So I just had a 'missed micarriage' I basically had a 5 week gestational sac and never saw an embryo. Went in at 8 seeks for a d&c but when I woke up the OB said my uterus was too tilted. THEN she gave me cytotek to take- which didn't work until day 2. The pAin was bad but it was over quickly- though this getting dragged out has me terrified. Do I have to wait a cycle to try again? ( I have LONG cycles) why did this happen? I have a heAlthy 2 yr old Nd am now terrified to try again- I so wanted one more child. I'm TERRIFIED
Omg your posts are so inspiring ... I am so sorry for anyone who has to go through this. I dont want yo be afraid to try...
Do you have to wait? No. Should you wait? Mostly that depends on you, your body your heart. The doctors would like for you to wait at least 1 cycle so that when you do become pregnant again you have a definite Cycle Day 1 to measure, date your pregnancy.
I also have one healthy child who is the joy of my life and we've been trying for #2 for awhile now. For the longest time bout 6 years we couldn't get pregnant at all but now all of sudden I'm getting pregnant I just can't stay pregnant. I've had 2 spontaneous miscarriages & 1 missed miscarriage that I needed a D&C for. I've had tests done & no answers as to why. Staying optimistic & positive is next to impossible but one can never lose faith. God has His plan & our babies are in Heaven waiting to meet us one day.
Take the time to let your body & your heart heal. You'll know when you're ready.
After my 1st miscarriage I was ready to try again right away. I was so excited that I could even get pregnant I was in a hurry to try again. I waited 1 cycle, even tho my OB wanted me to wait 3. It took me 6 years of ttc to get pregnant I wasn't waiting 3-4 months b4 trying again, especially since my body "felt" ready to try again. After 2nd miscarriage I was definitely more apprehensive in "wanting" to try again. I was a bit further along, recovering after took a bit longer too. I didn't know if I could handle the heartache again but trying to stay positive we did. Now after this 3rd miscarriage, I was devastated. I had testing done to see if there was a "reason" why but I'm healthy & normal. And the fact that I have a healthy 10 year old proves that I can do it! Physically I'm almost ready. I've gotten the doctor's ok but I had gained weight in my depression. So I've been working out & eating better. Emotionally I'm still So-so. I've been working on that too these last few months.
Good luck. Don't lose faith. Embrace & enjoy your 2 year old. They grow up so fast. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Listen your heart.

HI, Don't give up we had this happen unfortunately three times in a row. It was horrifying so I understand your being terrified. We now have two more kids after this happened and we had two before this happened making four kids all up. Try not to worry too much. Easier said than done. If you are not ready don't push yourself. Get some support from friends and relatives and professional if you are still feeling alone about this issue. Good luck. Let me know if you like how you go. Take care
