hi im am bryony, i am 24 years old and miscarried 13 weeks ago at 20 weeks pregnant, and would like to know how likely it is to concieve again if i try.xx please help.xx

So sorry to hear that hun, I've had 3 m/c's but all in first 8 weeks so can't imagine what you've been through. I'm not a doctor but all info I've found says there's no reason you shouldn't conceive again and no medical reason to wait to start trying again. Obviously you've got to feel ready emotionally and that can take time but it's really up to you. Don't know the exact circumstances of your m/c but unless hospital have told you there was a specific problem you're no more likely to miscarry again than anyone else either. Don't get me wrong it could happen, it has for me but if it's what you want you just have to believe it will be ok and know that you'll survive if, god forbid, it's not. Am probably not being very comforting but that's the reality. It's a horrible thing to happen and not easy to deal with so you have to know you're strong enough to try again. On the upside some doctors say you fall pregnant easier after a m/c and I've heard of lots of women who've fallen straight away and had no problems. If you feel ready hun you go for it! I wish you all the luck in the world, take care,
