when can i try...?

[cutebabygirl]

I have had 3 pregnancies and 3 children. I unexpectedly got pregnant in Oct and miscarried on 12-12. We were not extremely happy about the pregnancy but didn't want to change it but when I lost the baby is was devasting now I feel like there's something missing in my life. When is it safe to try for a baby and what are my chances of having another miscarriage? ??? Please help

I wouldn't worry about it. I had a miscarriage my first pregnancy--I had to have a D&C in January 2005 and my last period was in February that next month. I've always heard you get pregnant easier after a miscarriage, but I'm not sure how accurate that is. But good luck and definitely keep trying!!!

First trimester miscarriage is extremely common. Around 1 in 5 women will have one, and almost every female will have one in her lifetime whether she knows she was pregnant or not. Having a previous one does not impact or mean you will have a future one. 90% of the time it is due to chromosomal issues with the fetus itself and the inability to survive life outside the womb. Only once you've had multiple miscarriages in a row (3 or more) do your odds increase and testing need to be done to see what is causing them.

Still needing more advice

I had a normal natural miscarriage with minimal bleeding. I've completely stopped bleeding as of yesterday. I'm terrified I'm gonna have another miscarriage. Please keep sharing advice and experience....

So sorry for your loss. My Dr told me after both my miscarriages to wait until u have had what is a normal period for u not just bleed but it be what is normal for your cycle. Good luck!

If you have a natural miscarriage you can begin TTC immediately. It's only if you have a D&C that you have to wait.

Stupid phone posted it before I was finished. We weren't trying for another baby so I didn't speak to my doc about how long to wait but after 3 healthy babies I don't think you would miscarry again. Good luck

I'm sorry for your loss, I went through something similar in June I had a iud and got pregnant on it and wasn't happy about it at first because we already have two little girls and I miscarried the baby 3 days after the iud was removed. I was on the pill for 1 month after and went off it because I never got a period and got pregnant in August and our new little girl is developing fine. I don't know
