Conceiving after D

[DollChina]

I had a M/C at 6 wk and had a D&C on 1/3/06.  It's been 2 weeks after the surgery and we are ready to TTC again.  Is that ok?  My OB said to wait one cycle but if I do get pregnant, it'l be fine.  Will my body be able to handle another a pregnancy so soon?

[littleonetoluv]

I would go with what your doctor reccomends even though it will be tough to be patient. I ahve been told by my doctor that if a pregnancy occurs before the uterus has time to "recover" from the misscarriage or D&C that sometimes another misscarriage or a seriuos infection can occur. So I would try to wait one cycle and then begin trying again. Good luck!

Sorry for you recent loss:) but i agree you should go by what your dr says.Good luck*******************************

Since you had a D&C it makes your urterine lining thinner, so I would wait until after 1 cycle.  That way the lining thickens up for you.  Good luck!  And very sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the comments everyone.  

I probably won't get pregnant anyway since I might not ovulate this cycle, right?

[stacci2bme]

Thats not aleays the case, there is a good chance that you may ovulate. Take a rest from ttcing this cycle, pamper yourself and take it easy:)

[IWantToBeAMom]

You very well could ovulate now, so there's definitely a chance for pg again.  Since you had a D&C (versus just bleeding and m/c naturally) and since the doctor told you to wait 1 month I would definitely heed his advice, better safe than sorry in my opinion.

Im in the same boat. I am taking my ob's advice and waiting 1 cycle...

[DollChina]

Since my body is kind of mess up from the M/C, will my OPK work?  It worked great before I was pregnant.

[mammasita]

I Really am anxious to ttc again too. I know how you feel so I started seeing my acupuncturist for help in getting my body back on track. Its been a month since the d/c and Im feeling AFish... so hopefully it wont be long, but the waiting is rough...



I hear many stories of others getting pregnant right away but its a chane you have to be willing to take. Im sure you will be fine!

Best of luck and lots of baby dust!!

I also heard that your body won't allow the fertilized egg to attach to the lining if you are not ready.  Is that true?  I guess I am banking on that.  We have had unprotected sex 13 days after the M/C and I am just letting it be.

[mammasita]

I think every body varies and if it can implant it will. Again, its a risk which many have been successful with. I wish you luck!

my dr. said to wait at least one cycle and we didnt but didnt end up being pregnant.  i just figured what will be, will be.  we didnt TRY but we didnt prevent it either.

good luck!

Really appreciate all your comments.  None of my friends had had a M/C so it's very difficult to even talk about it.

Hi. I am new here and I just had a question someone might know. I had a miscarriage then had a D&C 11/10/05. My periods were irregular prior to that so Dr. had me take a day 21 progesterone test that says I did not ovulate. Has anyone had this or known anyone who has that was still able to conceive in a short period of time. I do have two children 12 & 1 1/2 ( took 10 years of no protection to have last one) so I can carry. I believe I might have to take clomid.

Hi!!  I am new to this! I am going crazy and so is my husband and doc.  I have all the common symptoms of pregnancy ie. tender breast, nausea, vomitting, dizziness, headaches, and cravings.  I have done a few HPT's but they all were negative.  My doc ran a few test and they were normal.  He seems to think that I am still PG.  I don't know what to think any more.  My husband and I have been TTC for 2 long years.  Please Help!!!

I became pregnant immediately after two of my miscarriages and carried both babies to term.



I've never had a D&C though. My cousin was told to wait 3 cycles after her D&C to help heal the uterus since the scraping can be traumatizing to the tissue.



The better the lining the more likely that the baby will be well-nourished within the uterus.



Taking no more than 400IU of supplemental vit. E per day before preg and during early preg can help the uterus to heal, build up a good lining and encourage a good implantation. More than that though is not beneficial and may cause the placenta to attach too deeply (there are no studies to support this claim that I know of but it's better to be "safe than sorry"...there are no reports of a problem with 400IU or lower).

Hi All - I have been coming to this site since 8/05, after having a M/C at 9 weeks (DNC). This is my first time posting a message. We have been TTC since 10/05 with no luck, my cycle has been irregular ever since the DNC. Before getting pregnant my AF was every 34, 35 days. As of today I still have not gotten AF, it's been 42 days. All HPT say negative, have a few symptoms of being pregnant and am concerned something is wrong.



Could I be pregnant and have a negative HPT?? Has this happened to any of you??

[babycalls]

This is my 1st x posting.

Had a MC last week. 1st pregnancy, I'm 43. Fetus died at 7wks.. I was in my 11th wk. b4 I started having MS signs.  Had D/C on 1/14.  I'm still bleeding but not heavy, like a reg. period. How long is it usually b4 bleeding stops, I don't have any other symptoms that would indicate infection, just would have thought the bleeding would have subsided.  Any comments would be appreciated.

[wantingitbadly]

It is very possible to be pregnant and receive a negative HPT.  Wait a few days and take another one, and if it is negative go see your doctor.

[Lunastella70]

I have a question.  I had a mc on 12/12/05.  I did not need D&C and I bled for exactly 4 days.  I did not use protection afterwards but got AF on 1/8/06.  I had 28 days exactly after my mc.  Am I correct in assuming that my ovulation date is this 1/22/06.  We are trying again but I have been beyond stressed and just want to make sure I've got the correct dates.



Baby dust to all and good luck!

I had a D&C on 1-3-06, bled for one week then spotting for another week.  I went back to the doctor on 1-17-06 and she said if I have no pain or any discomfort, there's nothing to worry about.  I am clean now but she warned me I might still spot every once in a wile before I get my first period.  Hope this help.

Had m/c in Oct, my md told me to wait one cycle b4 ttc.  I did and got pregnant, and again had a m/c followed with another dnc.Saw a specialists that told me after a dnc you should use condoms for 4 weeks to avoid any infection because your cervix may still be open, and to wait at least 3-4 cycles b4 trying to concieve.  The lining of the uterus is more like to thin out and not hold a pregnancy
