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.

I just had a mc I was 10 weeks and I was spotting , called the dr and they told me to get a sonogram ASAP,the heart bit was gone and the the baby stopped growing , very devastating and sad. Just got done D&C and I'm resting ... We want to try soon but I'm so scared:(

[gilly77]

Yes you can start trying when you like if you feel ready emotionally and physically I waited two cycles before I tried and fell straight away and now I have a healthy little boy. The reason why they suggest you wait is because you cant pin point your due date properly .  I would wait to have at least one normal period then start trying again.  Its all very traumatic on your body and with your emotions. You are fertile for the next 3 months or so after a mis carriage anyway.  I wish you all the best of luck and Im sorry for your loss x

I was told my hold entire life i would never have kids, so i never took the proper precautions to keep from being pregnant, for 8 years. On January 13 2012 Started feeling like i was pregnant so i took a test. (actually 5) ... with in 3 seconds these tests turned positive. i couldn't believe it. three days later on the 16th I went to the hospital because i started spotting, While i was there the did the first ultrasound and i found out i was 4 wks and 4 days with TWINS! We were very shock, scared but excited. I was blessed with not one but two. everything was fine i was just bleeding because of plantation. We went to hear the babies heartbeats on The babies fathers birthday February 8th, at 7wks 6 days. He said it was the best birthday present ever. all was well. On March 7th we went in i was 11wks and 6 days we went in expecting for them to be wiggling. Well they werent. There was no heartbeats on either one. they had stopped growing at 9 wks and 3 days, and 9 wks and 4 days(they were gone for three weeks). Of coarse i flipped out. i couldnt believe this was happening to me. I was scheduled for a DandC the following morning on the 8th of march,  I was in pain but i was and am still heart broken. On the 13th i passed a clot the size of a large pad, and i freaked  and rushed to the hospital. Come to find out they had left some " product" after the D&C. The hits just keep on coming. I had intercourse on the 16th,19th,20th-23rd. After my D&C all my symptoms literally stopped. Now 19 days after i feel like i am pregnant: heartburn nausea, but i dont think i have had a period. COULD IT BE!! :) I would be happy if so, but i dont want get my hopes up if its not possible. PLEASE HELP!

hello meli741,
I am 43 years old and recently suffered a miscarriage- New Year's Day to be exact.  I have a 14 year old son so this was my second pregnancy ever.  My husband and I were shock to find out we were pregnant and then the unthinkable happened.  I am anxious to try again but I want to take the next three months to get as healthy as I can before trying again.  I will keep you and your husband in prayer.  Just remember to trust God and know how much he loves you!!!!

I am finding these posts a little depressing. I am 40 and just had my first pregnancy and then miscarriage at 8 weeks. I had to go through IVF to get there because my husband's has morphology. Basically his sperm are oddly shaped, so they have a difficult time penetrating and impregnating me.

We went through IVF and got prego the first time....but lost the peanut at 8 weeks. I think we may try naturally for a while. Does anyone know of any vitimins my husband can take that help with morphology? I really don't want to go through IVF again.  

If we don't get prego naturally I will probably try again, since we already paid for it. I just feel like a pin cushion with all of the shots and taking blood. Not to mention I have a blood clot disorder. So when I am pregnant I have to take Lovonox shots everyday through the entire pregnancy.

I didn't realize how difficult it was to have a baby..and now I see so many people have miscarriages. At my age I am fearful it will never happen for me...

Best of luck to all of you!

hey ive had two misscarages aswell im only22  i had my first m/c with my first pregnancy i was about 6 weeke pregnant i was devestated i was so scared that if i got pregnant it would happen again but just a whole year later i fell pregnant and now i have a lovely daughter who is no 2 n half years old just in december i found out i was pregnant but unfortuntly i had a misscarage a few days later so no i have had two m/c but so did my gran so i am defo trying again everything happens for a reason all i know is keep trying and it will happen for u

[mrshilburn20]

low stress and dont try just let it happen it dont happen if you try

[gilly77]

Hi Im very sorry for your loss, I understand your pain emotionally and pysically.  I also had passed my baby in the toilet.  I buried my baby it was too distressing for me to flush away as my baby was something me and my husband have been wanting for years of trying!  I understand a little about your situation too as my best friend is pregnant too and she had to have a shot because of this?  Like i said in my previous message unless there is a medical reason not to get pregnant so fast there are no reasons why you cant get pregnant straight away?  Depends on the person i only bled for 2 weeks and it was just over 5 weeks until my next period?  i Had 2 periods and then fell pregnant again  :-) I wanted to have at least one clear cycle so my body was regulating normally.  Doctors say wait a couple at least one cycle too bacause its easier for them to pin point conception and due date?  You are very fertile for next 3 months after miscarriage too.  Everyone is different so it depends how you feel emotionally and pyscically i would personally wait for your next period to come so you know you are back to normal? I wish you all the best of luck x

im 22 years old.. and i had a m/c on dec.24 and im still bleeding... i want to know how long do i have 2 or should wait to try 2 get prego again??

THE SAD THING ABOUT MY STORY IS I JUST FOUGHT OUT THAT I WAS PREGANT THE BEGIN OF THE MONTH, AFTER FINDING OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT DO TO A MISSED PERIOD... I WAS SO EXCITED. I WENT TO THIS PLACE WHERE THEY DO FREE PREGNANCY TEST.. AND ULTRASOUNDS.. THEY ASKED ME  I WHEN WAS MY LAST PERIOD AND I TOLD DEM NOV.4TH... SHE PUT IT N HER CHART AND SAID I WAS 5 WEEKS PREGNANT.. I SUBPOST TO HAVE  MY DOC'S APPOINTMENT ON THE DEC.28.. THIS WAS MY 1ST TIME EVER BEGIN PREGO.. BUT BEFORE MY M/C I WAS HAVING CRAMPING, LOWER BACK PAIN, AND THEN CAME SPOTTING.. THEN THE BLOOD GOT HEAVIER... I M/CED N MY OWN HOME AND THE BATHROOM... IT WAS SO PAINFUL... I HAD LIK 3 BIG CLOTS THAT WAS THE SIZE OF MY HANDS COME OUT... AND THEN I JUST SAT THERE ON THE TOLIET PRAYIN... AS I GOT UP 2 FLUSH I LOOKED DOWN N THE TOLIET AND SAW MY BABY... I WAS SO HURT... AS I PICKED MY BABY UP AND JUST SAT THERE AND LOOKED AT IT AND MY HAND... SO I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TO FIND OUT ID I PASSED ALL THE TISSUES OR WHATEVER NEEDED TO COME OUT.. AND THANK GOD I DID... BUT THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I WAS ACTUALLY 11 WEEKS PREGNANT... AND THAT B/C MY BLOOD IS O- THAT MY BABY BLOOD WAS POSTIVE AND THAT MY BLOOD WAS FIGHTING OFF MY BABIES BLOOD... SO THEY GAVE ME A SHOT THAT WOULD HELP ME  THE NEXT TIME I GET PREGNANT.. THE SAD PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS I WAS PREGANT FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS AND DIDNT HAVE ANY SIGNS OF IT... I WAS STILL HAVING MY PERIODS AND EVERYTHING... SO MY THING IS IF YOUR PREGANT OR TRYING TO GET PREGNANT ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW YOUR BLOOD TYPE!!! AND IF YOU ARE PREGNANT ITS BETTER TO GO TO THE DOCTOR SOON AS YOU FIND OUT...

Hi Girls, so sorry for your loss.  Just read all your comments.  The loss is devestating, I never thought i would react as bad as i did, but it does get easier I promise.  I am now 5 weeks 4 days pregnant again, 2 months after I miscarried, and I only have one working tube!  Everyone is different.  I was not ready to start trying for a few weeks... emotionally.  However I was adviced that there was no reason why you cant start trying straight away, They say to miss at least one cycle thats because its easier for them to work out when you conceived and work out your due date.  Unless you have health issues and specifically been told not to try again there should not be anyone problems! My problem is now that I cant relax and enjoy the pregnancy, we are over the moon of course but the pain of the mis carriage was too much emotionally and pysically and im so paranoid.  Every cramp or twinge i feel i keep rushing to the toilet and have that nightmare of bleeding!I remain postitive but anxious! I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and I hope all your wishes come true.  Things will work out for us all in time.  The key is definitely to relax as I forgot to mention I was referred back to a fertility specialist again, once the appointment was made i must have relaxed? as I conceived again? Good luck to you all.  Keep in touch with your stories.  It helps to talk xxx

i got pregnant in july of 2011. it was a wedding baby. my husband and i were sooo sooo happy. at 16 weeks i went to the ER for severe abdominal pain. come to find out our baby girl had a thanatophoric dysplasia. its a spontaneous disease (not genetic) that happens to 1 in 50,000 pregnancies. 4 days later our babies heart stopped and we had to deliver her. i was able to deliver the placenta avoiding a d&c. it is now 6 weeks later and i had abdominal pain again so a sonogram was done and they found that a piece of the placenta is still in my uterus. i now have to have a d&c next week. we are soo upset because we were just ready to start trying again and now this will prolong it. when will we be able to TTC again?

i had a miscarriage 3 days ago i had unprotected sex today can i get pregnant?

[mommy_2001]

everyone is different after a miscarriage. when i had my last obgyn appointment he told me to wait 3 months, but then again he said there was no need to give me birthcontrol to stop it, so we decided that whatever happens happens. the obgyn also said the your period will come back whenever it is ready, not at your cycle day. that is why he wants everyone to wait at the very least until after the first cycle.He said there are high risks for getting pregnant to soon as your body is not prepared to be pregnant so fast again. although your body is made to get pregnant and carry a baby it is not made to do so so fast.

[hey_jeanette]

hi, I had a miscarriage a week ago, I was 5 weeks. This whole experience has been really hard. Growing up the only thing I wanted was to be a mom. My husband and I have been married for a year and half. This was our first pregancy. My doctor told us to wait a couple of months. I have mixed feelings on wether to wait or just live life and go from there. I found out today my best friend is pregnant and Id like to have babies close together. Do i just let go and let God decide whats best for me or step back and wait.

[mommy_2001]

I would have your doctor do testing to see why you have miscarried so many time. My doctor told me once i got pregnant again in a few months, if i miscarried again he would want to do testing to make sure there is nothing wrong with the sperm or eggs. He said after the third time he would consider it a problem.

[tinajero]

I'm sorry for your lost. At less you have been able to have a healthly boy. I've had lost 3 babies. this last on was on 3 weeks ago. i was going on 3 months. i didnt want anything but my baby. my husband take it hard as well. we are tryin for another hope we can have this baby life. we also still cry n miss are baby. i might be preagent right now just dont know. im kinda scared with it being so close to the one we just lost. plus with having a D/C its all so close. i guess we will find out monday Nov.20th 2011.

[mommy_2001]

I had a medicated miscarriage on the 11th of nov, we first went in to have an ultrasound done in the middle of oct, we found out that I was carring twins but the sacs we not in the correct shape and the risk of having the vanishing twin sydrom was high seeing it was extremely early in my pregnancy, also the risk of miscarriage was high as well because of the sac shapes. we went back for my second ultrasound on halloween and was told that one of the twins had vanished and the other baby had aborted itself in the sac and i would miscarry sometime in the near future. he told me my options were waiting it out, medication and go home and do it in the privacy of my own home, or a d&c. I chose to wait two weeks come back for another ultrasound, we get told the same bad news and decided on taking the medication cytotec to have a medicated miscarriage. It was devistating non the least but the doctor said to wait at least three cycles before getting pregnant again because if you do so before your body is ready then your chances of a miscarriageare a lot higher. I have had one live birth back in 2001 and two miscarriages since then. it is tuff to go through this pain, trust me i know.

[Tracey71374]

Don't know if anyone told you this...but it may help. Didn't have time to read all the comments. I too had a miscarriage after being 8 wks and 6 days pregnant. I lost the baby because I needed a shot called RhoGam. If you have a negative blood type and your mate has a positive then you need this shot during every pregnancy or else your blood cell will attack your baby's blood cells killing your baby which will result in a miscarriage.  This is what happened to me.  I did get the shot so if I get pregnant than I will be fine this time. If you fall in this category....that is why you keep losing your baby. Hope this helps. Good Luck next time. I hope for the best.

i had a miscarriage 2 days ago, and was devastated, i had sarting spotting last sunday and they told me it was normal, well then friday came along and i was bleeding bright red, so i called my o.b and they told me it was normal in early pregnancy and i didnt think so because i never had it with my son whos now 4, and  so i went to the e.r. and they did blood test and my levels dropped from 885 down to 744 and now i will be gettting more blood drawn tomorrow to check to make sure there still dropping. since sunday i was having bad back pain and abdominal pains as well, and i knew it wwas a m.c. they then sent me home with a threatened m/c and about 2 hrs after i got home i miscarried everything, and collected the grey sac (my baby) and went back to the e.r they drew blood again did a pelvic exam and also did 2 ultra sounds and told me i dont need a d&c so  now im just waiting for the bleeding to stop and then i will be trying again. my m/c was due to fetus abnormalites, i go see the o.b on thursday so a few more days and ill see what he has to say...

[Chancesgirl7211]

I found out that I was pregnant on Aug. 27 2011 that was our first one. We were so excited I then started spotting it wasn't much but just enough to know that it was blood and that was a Tuesday night I then went to the e.r that night to check everything out they tested my hcg level an it was only at 287 and I was 5 weeks along so they then wanted me to go check again that week so I went in on Friday and my hcg level only rose to 384 and that's when I realized something wasn't right they told me that everything looked ok besides my hcg levels so they then wanted me to go back in on the following Monday so I did and t rose to 425 and I asked them what that means and they said inwould probably end up miscarrying which I did when I was about 7 weeks. They told me that I could start trying again right away and I didn't have to have a d&c because everything came out like it was suppose to. I lost it sep 27 that was the day I stopped bleeding and havnt had my period yet is that a bad thing or how long does it usually take to get ur period when u miscarry cuz it's been almost a month since I've bled last?

[mrsr91]

im sorry to hear this. as long as all bleeding has stopped and everything is passed it should be ok to try again. after my D&C my partner and i tried after 4 weeks which was the advised length of time. good luck to you both xx
