How soon after a misscarriage can you get pregnant?

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 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!

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
