I Need Your Support

I'm sorry you've been through a mc. I am now 19 wks pregnant after having a mc in April. One thing to take comfort in is the fact that you are no more likely to have another mc just because you had one. Also, I did not wait more than one normal period to try again. If you had a mc early on and did not need a d&c, then there is no reason to wait. My obgyn had also recommended waiting 2-3 cycles. I did a lot of research and there was no reason to wait-there is actually some evidence that we may be more fertile in the month or two after a mc. If you hd a d&c, then the uterus does need time to rebuild before conceiving. The last thing I will share is that you will be nervous when you get pregnant again but at the first ultrasound you'll relax a little and at the second trimester you'll really relax. I don't worry at all anymore now that I see my bellygrowing and feel the baby a little. Good luck!!

My first I had a m/c and we waited two monthe to try again. We have a heathly baby boy and now thinking about number two. It worked out as I was able to finish my degree, had I had the first one then I might not have finished as I was able to finish while I was on maternity leave.

I also became pregnant a month or two after a miscarrige, and that child is now 15! This is so common - I know a ton of people who this has happened to. You don't have to wait very long - the doctor told me I can start trying after my first normal period. At the time I was so bummed out and thought when will I ever have a baby, but I'm sure it will happen for you! Good luck.

Hi E.,
So sorry you had to go through the loss of your baby. I have been there, too, unfortunately. My last miscarriage was on November 11 last year (the rest were a long time ago, before my first child was born). We elected to have minimal medical involvement (i.e., no D & C or medicines) and chose to try again right away. For us, it worked beautifully. Our youngest daughter turned two months on Friday. She was 10 days early, but absolutely perfect.
The same absolutely can happen for you.
As for relaxing about TTC... yeah, having people tell me to relax did NOT help. But once I found a way to relax, our beautiful, healthy baby was on her way.
Best wishes, Mama.

PS October 15 is a day of rememberance for the babies we have lost. I will light a candle for your little one, too.

Just wanted to wish you luck and hope everything works out :)

My first I had a m/c and we waited two monthe to try again. We have a heathly baby boy and now thinking about number two. It worked out as I was able to finish my degree, had I had the first one then I might not have finished as I was able to finish while I was on maternity leave.

I only waited a couple of months between my m/c and my pregnancy w/ my daughter, and she turned out fine, except that now she's 14!! I had another m/c after that and we waited 3 months before trying, and it took 2 months to get pregnant.

I totally understand your apprehension, and think I said a little prayer everytime I went to the bathroom. I was nervous throughout... but have two beautiful, healthy kids.

Good luck!

When we were trying to conceive # 2 I miscarried two years ago on Halloween at 11 weeks and it took about 2 months for my levels to get back down to 0 (no D&C). I was mad, depressed, felt robbed, anxious etc. Lo and behold I got pregnant that following January after one normal period and had a healthy baby boy. What helped me relax was believing that everything happens for a reason and I already had a healthy girl so if thats all I ended up with I was okay with that. Good luck TTC and have fun trying!

So sorry to hear you lost your last pregnancy. As long as your ob gives you the ok, you can start trying again right away. I had a 12 wk m/c in Sept., got a D&C, and then got pg in Dec. My daughter just turned 9. :-) I was lucky enough to have another problem-free pregnancy 3 years later.

M/C happen to almost everyone at some point. Of course you'll be nervous the next time, but the bottom line is that it's really out of your control. It'll take, or it won't. Do your part to be healthy and let go of the rest. Undue stress won't help either of you.

Best of luck to you!!

I always look at my m/c's as prep for the real thing. I think my body likes to prime the pump then things work out great. I've been pregnant 4 times and I have two beautiful children. I'm sorry you had to experience the heartbreak of a m/c, I wouldn't wish that on anybody, but on a positive note, you should be nice and fertile now. Just relax and let nature take it's course. Good luck!
