Are You More Fertile After Miscarriage? True or False

[BearHitch]

Hey ladies... I recently had a miscarriage and DH and I are looking to try again.  I've heard that you are more fertile after a miscarriage- does anyone know if this is true or just rumor for someone who would really like that to be true (me)?!  The bleeding has pretty much stopped, though it picks up a bit after sex but then stops again, so I think my body is done getting rid of everything...  Has anyone else had a m/c and conceived shortly after?  I'd love some stories that would envoke hope :)  Thanks!

I miscarried on August 1st. We was about 4 1/2 weeks along, due April 8th, 2012. I stopped bleeding only 5 days later on the 6th. We're currently taking ovulation tests to try again this month. I have a 18 month old daughter right now and would love another addition to our family. So im certainly hoping for the best and that we can conceive before my period.
Sorry to hear of all the loses. and hope the best for everyone whos still ttc.

I am 16. I had a miscarriage between the 15-23 of last month. I had sex with my boyfriend the day after I miscarried. I was 6 weeks along. I didn't use any protection, and I was not on birth control. He used the "pull-out" system. Is there any way I could be pregnant again? It's been almost sixteen days since that incident. I have not had any signs or symptoms of pregnancy. My breasts aren't sore, I don't have any cravings, or mood swings, or even morning sickness. I really don't wish to be pregnant again, not this soon. I want to wait until I'm older. We had sex again a fewbdays after that incident except for he didn't ***, and we did again the other night and he didn't ***. Could I be pregnant from that? We didn't use protection or birth control. I'm supposed to have a cycle 4-6 weeks after this miscarriage. It hasn't got to then yet. I figure to start around the 20th. Could you please help?! I really need some help and advice. I'm too little to have a baby right now, the doctor's said I could possibly die during birth. Please help?

I got pregnant around the end of january. There was no for sure date of conception of gestational age b/c i was taking birth controls in dec. and then stopped at the end but my lmp was the 17th of dec so the doctors said i was around 11-14 weeks at my first appt at the end of jan. My pregnancy was normal morning sickness, excessive urinating, eating alot so i thought everything was fine. i switched hospitals b/c i didnt like the way the other one was operating and the baby was still fine in feb.with my first u/s the doctors saw no heartbeat and said i was about 6wks gestational. i didnt know what to believe. On march 17, 2011 i started ti bleed around 2pm so i went straight to the er. first of all the doctor was so rude he told me well if its gonna happen there is nothing we can do. so they drew blood to check my hcg levels i had an u/s and they confirmed that i was miscarrying. There was a sac that was still growing but the baby had already passed when i first saw the blood. my bf and i was devastated and i was crying in the er. I had a sonogram on the 21st where they also confirmed my deepest fear. i bled for about 21/2 wks and then when the bleeding stop my bf and i started trying again.i took a pregnancy test in may and it was positive. i had a gyn checkup and told the nurse about the at home pregnancy test she tested me again and then gave me an appt for an u/s the next day. i had the ultrasound and come to find out i was not preg again there was still conception material left over so the doctor scheduled me for a d&c on May 11th. I was walking around with this stuff still in me for almost 2 mnths and the DR told me i could of started to spontaneously bleed excessively i could of died or got a bad infection. so i had the d&c i bled for about 3 days afterwards and then my bf and i got my period june 8th so im just waiting til the bleeding stops to start trying again hopefully it will be a better story to tell.

Hi Michelle. My name is Nicole. I read your post and I have to tell you I feel like you totally touched me. I went through my MC last Friday. Two days before Mother’s Day and I’ve been struggling to try and make sense out of it. I like how you kept looking for the reason or what you were supposed to learn. I too believe that I took having a child for granted. I thought it would be a walk in the park when I was ready for it. But after I lost the baby, I realized, like you, that having a baby isn’t just about the egg and sperm meeting. Funny, right? How naïve. I’ll be 40 next year and I’m not married AND I have fibroids. I’m terrified that I won’t have kids but I like that you’re still trying. It helps me to keep trying too.

I am 20 years old, and I recently had a miscarriage at 6 weeks - my heavy bleeding only lasted three days and slowed into spotting. It was not a planned pregnancy, but my fiance and I had gotten very excited. We plan to try again. Where I did not bleed very long and it was so early in the pregnancy, would trying to conceive right away be a good idea? And if in some cases women are more fertile after a miscarriage I am anxious to try it! I am very eager to become pregnant again, I am just worried to be one of the unlucky ones who miscarry back to back, any input would be very helpful!
Thank you!!
