how soon trying to get pregnant after miscarriage
I've read in my prgenancy books and on forums and I've been told by doctors to wait 1 to 3 cycles before trying to get pregnant again after having had a miscarriage recently. But there doesn't seem to be any research to back this up...no one can tell me if there's a medical risk if I get pregnant sooner. Does anyone know? I am 36 years old and had a m/c on my first pregnancy last month and I'm eager to try again. If it's for emotional reasons that people say to wait, well getting pregnant again will make me feel better as that was my goal, but I don't want to have an increased risk of another m/c by getting pregnant too soon. But time is an issue b/c I am 36 and just starting to have children now. I know this all may be pointless if I don't ovulate again soon, but hoping thinsg get back to normal soon. I had a natural m/c and my hcg levels are almost back to normal or zero. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I am 19 and I have just had my first m/c at 9 weeks. They doctor said it was nothing I did the baby just kinda died a few days before my scheduled ultrasound. I had no bleeding or cramps the loss of my baby took me completely by surprise. My husband and I had not been trying for a child but after this loss we wish to. Realizing now how much we had both wanted this baby. I'm not emotionally ready for it yet though and I just wanted to know if there was any thing that helps move past the grief and emptiness? It's just after knowing there was life inside of me and now it's gone has left me very listless and uncaring.
hi
I am 37 years and i have a 19 yr old daughter, ive had 2 ectopic pregnancies in the past in 1995 & 1996 on both sides left and right side. In 2003 I took the HSG test and was diagnosed as being infertile. On 8/27/10 I found out I was pregnant OMG what a shock, i had a mix of emotions and was not sure I really wanted to start all over again being that my daughter was 19 already. I felt it was a blessing but I was scared because of my history, I went through alot at the hospital they claimed I was not a High risk and they bounced me back and forth. I miscarried on 9/30/10 the day i went to my appt, i didnt get to hear my babys heart beat because according to the hospital they listen after 12 weeks. I was 11.5 weeks. The last I saw the baby was on 9/13/10 and everything was fine. I am devasted because after all I became comfortable and i wanted this baby. The miscarriage was horrible and I sat with my baby in between my legs for an hour before they removed it. I dont know why I miscarried but they say its a blessing WOW I just dont get it. I didnt get a D&C and i went to my follow up appt, they said i can try in a month again but my age plays a factor here. But I feel i should get another HSG test to make sure my tubes are cleared, I fear I would have another ectopic pregnancy, my tubes are scared. this is so overwhelming for me and I have never experienced anything like this. its awful I feel like my life has crashed. I hadnt been pregnant in over 16 years and I am afraid, I dont know if i should just try or take the test.

I have been reading all these forums and want to put my story out since hearing from others helps me, hopefully I can help someone.
I found out I was pregnant at 7 weeks. I was worried cause I had been drinking and taking adderall. Had a two day period which led me to take hpt. After 3 positive hpt I came to terms that I was pregnant. So was 7/2 on July 20th. At 14/0 I started to have blood when i wiped. Went to doc a couple days later since I worried something could go wrong due to the fact that I have had a cone biopsy in late 2007. Was told everything is fine. Cervix closed and long. For the next couple weeks bleeding progressed. First just when I wiped, then enough for a panty liner, then enough for a regular pad, then wearing and soaking an overnite pad with all sizes of clots passing. Keep going to doc on a walk in basis and everytime babys heartbeat was well over 155bpm. Every time an ultrasound was done with nothing wrong. Everytime cervix closed and long. At one point went to docs 3 times in a week, every time told i was FINE. Bleeding progressed and was put on bed rest for a couple days. Went er in a different town on a Sunday, Oct 3. Was told and shown baby was fine, but cervix was softer than it was suppose to be. So went to my regular doc on Monday and was told I had a huge source of blood between placenta and uterus which was causing placenta abruption. Was put on bed rest for two weeks and told a soft cervix means nothing.(now finding out that soft cervix is a symptom of labor) Starting at 2 am the next morning had severe pain that woke me. Finally at 8 am decided to take two tylenol. Realized pains would get worse every 2 minutes and at around 9 something decided a shower would ease the pain. I ended up hollering and being in the worst pain ever in shower that it woke my sister and had her taking me to the hospital. Made it to er where they did ultrasound while trying to give me IV for pain. Doc said babys heartbeat was strong and everything was fine. Meanwhile between the hollering and trashing the nurses where able to get the iv in and I gave birth maybe 15 minutes later to a baby girl. Of course at 18 weeks 2 days she was not able to make it and passed. But I will never forget the feeling of her tiny leg on my thigh while the doctor told me what happened and that she could not live. I wanted nothing to do with her or any help that came. By the end of my hospital stay which was 2 days I decided to name my daughter the rightful name she would have had had she made it full term. We had a service, saw the body and took pictures. She may have not made it term but she was my daughter and I felt she was owed all the respect you would give any child. She was cremated and I picked up her ashes today. So unreal that something that was growing inside of me a week ago is today just a bag of ashes in a box. This was to be my first child. Felt that it was a miracle since I had a cone biopsy due to multiple cycst/fibroids and then told I would not be able to be pregnant. Also felt that it was a life given to my family since we recently lost a dear family member. Through all 18 weeks of being pregnant I never really got into it or acted like it would result in a full term baby. It was like something in me knew this would happen even though secretly I thought no way I could have a mc. The feeling of going through labor pains, passing all the products of birth to include a tiny person is unexplainable unless you have been through it. I know alot of you here have had a d&c but the loss of a child any way is what has us all understanding of each others emotions. Now I'm just trying to deal with a post partum body which seems very unfair to have with no baby to show as the result. I want to ttc again right away but am so fearful of this happening again. Not just to me, but to my family members as well. I feel like all odds are against me to conceive again due to possible incompetent cervix, tilted cervix, fibroids and other possible things. I've never been a regular period girl. I could go months without one, have one that last 20 something days, heavy flow periods, cramps, just everything abnormal. I will continue to write updates for anyone out there that feels they have similar circumstances. I am hoping to be pregnant again before the end of the year with a healthy viable pregnancy.
My heart and prayers go out to all the women on here brave enough to post their stories cause I know every time you have to tell it you live it a lil again. Here is wishing that God grants you all healthy children in your near future.
