How soon after a misscarriage can you get pregnant?

[Marine wife]

went to the doctor on Wednesday October 4th, 2006 and had a sonogram done, the lady told me I was at 6 weeks 2 days. I told her that was wrong and I asked her when I got pregnant she told me around Sept. 3rd. I told her that was wrong because i knew 2 weeks before that, that i was pregnant, because I had taken a test at my regular doctors office that came back pregant. The nurse left the room and came back and told my husband and I that the doctor will take my blood today and that i need to come back that friday. So needless to say I left the doctors office knowing that something was wrong. On Thursday afternoon the a nurse from the doctors office called to tell me over the phone that i was having a miscarriage. Schedule told me to come in Friday morning. I went in a spoke with my Doctor and he told me that I had miscarried sometime in September, but he couldn't understand why i had no signs of a miscarraige, so we scheduled a D&C for that afternoon. He told me to wait at least 1 month before having sex, we waited 4 days. How soon can i get pregnant again? Keep in mind that my Husband is 22, I am 21, we have been married for 3 years and this is our second miscarriage. We hand aonther one in January of 04 at 6 weeks as well. We are so devasted. We thought for sure that things were going to be right this time. Has anyone else gone through this and do you have any advice. I go back to the doctor this Friday.

As upsetting as it is to hear the things some of you have been through, its nice to know that I'm not alone, far from it in fact. I had a micarriage one week ago today at 6 weeks 2 days. Myself and my husband were/are devasted. As it was a natural miscarriage with no dc, we have started to try again and I really hope we get pregnant again soon. Some of your stories have made me feel so much more positive. I think one of the worst things about my experience (aside from the obvious) was the attitudes of the nurses and sonographers that we encountered. After a visit to a&e fearing miscarriage, we were referred to the early pregnancy unit. After waiting for an hour, we were asked questions about why we were there ect before going through to have a u/s scan. The sonographer knew that we were there because we thought we may have miscarried, yet she took ages to tell us either way! She was showing me my uterus, ovaries and bladder (all the while cheerfully telling me everything looked fine!) then when she'd finished she said 'your uterus is empty, but then you suspected miscariage didn't you?!'. I was absolutely disgusted with the lack of empathy and tact shown by the staff. I know they must get used to seeing that kind of thing but they need to be aware that we, as parents-to-be may not be used to dealing with loss in that way. They were so blunt and matter-of-fact. I know they would have to become de-sensitised to these things to a certain extent - for their own sanity - but if they can't show some compassion and empathy they should not work in that sort of role.
It is comforting to know that others understand the devastating sense of loss that you feel after a miscarriage, and as I've said, I am so sorry to hear all of the terrible things some of you have been through and I hope that you all go on to have happy, healthy future pregnancies.
Love, luck and best wishes to you all

Well all your stories have helped me a lot. Last Thursday July 14th 2001, I had my first miscarriage. I was suppose to be 12 weeks but I started spotting and called my doctor. When I had my ultrasound the baby measured at 8weeks.
So that is when the pregnancy had stopped. At 6 weeks we saw the heart beat. I am also Diabetic and I think my meds is what caused it. I was taking 500 mg twice a day before I found out I was preg. and then my OB switched it to 1000 mg twice a day. I have a feeling that is what may have caused the miscarriage. Does anyone know if that sounds at all possible. I had to have a D&C and now I am waiting for the time we can start trying again. If we do get preg again I will make sure that I am put on light duty at work for the first trimester because I work in a very physically demanding job in shipping and receiving. Also I will have my doctor take me off of my meds seeing how my sugars have been maintained by diet and he has only been having me take the meds for weight loss. Hope next time that will help me to keep my baby and not to have another miscarriage. If anyone has had to take those meds and has had a full preg and no miscarriage please let me know so I know what my options are.

Im new to this...Its sad reading all these stories but it does help alot. I didnt know what to expect after my miscarriage, but reading about everyone elses experiences answered alot of questions. I had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago at only 4 weeks. All my preg signs went away after the first couple of days and a week and a half later my hcg levels were back to zero. my miscarriage was natural, no d&c. It happened on june 9th... its now june 29th and my breasts are feeling tender and full again and Im a bit nausous...Is it possible Im pregnant again already???

Don't worry about what anyone says. Just do what your doctor tells you. He/she will know best. I had a D&C yesterday with my second miscarriage and was told just to wait a week to have sex so all doctors will tell you differently.
