Hi,

I just wondered if anyone had got pregnant straight after a miscarriage. I was told to wait a couple of months. No explaination why I should as the midwife I seen afterwards did not even seem to want to speak to me.

I just wondered if anyone else had got pregnant without having a period after they had miscarried.

Any replies or advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Hi in reply to ur Post
am 22 i had a stillbirth at 42 YES 42 weeks with my daughter (1st baby) on 3rd july 2007
and i feel pregnant less than 10wks later without a period with my 2nd baby and Miscarried at 12wks on the 30th Nov 07
and now today 22nd June 2wks to my daughters 1st annivesary i found out i am expecting for the 3rd time
i waited 6mths before trying again as i was also advised by the midwifes that to get my body back to normal after all i had gone through , that if i got pregnany too soon my body may not be able to cope with it and i risked miscarrying early on again

i would like to say am sorry for your loss but even to just put ur mind at ease give yourself a chance to have maybe 2 regualar periods , it may Make you feel better and not stressing as much if you do

Best of luck for the future and wish u all the happiness in the world

I had a miscarriage in March. I was nearly 12 weeks pregnant when i started to spot bleed. It was a Friday evening and my husband and i went straight to a&e, we were told that the early pregnancy unit was only open from Mon-Fri so i couldnt have a scan until then. I was told to monitor the bleeding and go home and rest. This was agonizing as we just didnt know what was going to happen,we read alot on the net and our hopes were raised and then dashed constantly over the next few days. Finaly Monday came and i had my scan only to be told that it was bad news and that my baby had stoped growing at 6 weeks, i was given a choice of wether to have a d n c or to go home and miscarry. I chose to go home and the miscarriage started the next day. I was not prepared for how tramatic and painfull it would be or for how much blood i would loose. I had to go back to the hospital on a few occasions for more scans to make sure there were no clots left. I had one normal period and on my final scan the midwife told me i was ovulating and to go home and get cracking if i felt ready. I fell pregnant straight away and my partner and i are over the moon but very scared that the same thing is going to happen again. This Friday i experianced some light bleeding and imediatly paniced and went to a&e only to be told that once again it was a weekend and a bank holiday and to come back for a scan on tues. I have just had my scan and not alot could be sean as its so early on. So the tension,hope,dread and excitment goes on. Iam taking things one day at a time and trying to remain posotive. I would like to wish every one out there who has had the same experiances all the luck in the world.Talking it through keeps you strong.

hi,
i had a misscarraige in march and had to have a d&c. i then found out that i was pregnant a couple of weeks later. i went to my doctor and i said i was having bad pains and was wondering if it was because of the m/c or maybe i was pregnant. so he sorted out a blood test to eliminate the easyest option first. i only said i was having pains as i thought the doctor would say i was being silly. i do know tho that you are most fertile after a m/c or after giving birth so it is a good posibility that you are pregnant.

hope that helps a bit.

p.s please tell me if my message was helpfull

i m/c 7 weeks ago i started ttc straight away well a week after once bleedin had stopped. i got my period 6 weeks to the day from start of leedin wit m/c. i was gutted but i think its also good give the womb another flush thru. it was as bad as every one says i had no pain, wasnt very heavy and it only lasted for 5 days!!

i read on alot of forums that docs say periods return usually between 6 and 8 weeks after m/c if that answers any questions?

good luck keep trying girls, fate will decide but it will be our turn soon!!

hugs to all xx

Hi there, i also had a miscarriage at 8 weeks pregnant in 2003, they also advised me to wait a couple of months before trying again, but shortly after we did try again and i got pregnant for the second time, this did not go aswell as planned eather, as we had a stillbirth the second time around, due to placental failiur there was a bloodclot in the placenter, so we tried again in 2004, and now i have a beautifull son who is 4 in august, i call him my miracle baby, im just petrifide of losing the baby i am carrying, i have just found out i am 5 weeks pregnant, im not sure why they advise you not to get pregnant so soon after losing a baby, i think its just so your body can re energise itself, afterall the baby does take alot from the mother, hope this will help you in some way, you are not alone, many thanks for reading this, miss zoe joines, blackpool england

Hi

I was in your shoes as i misscarried 5weeks ago and all the doctors told me the same as they are telling you, the only reason they tell you that is so you get regular periods and when you do fall pregnant its easier to work out dates.

I didnt wait as we where really keen to start trying again and 4weeks after my misscarriage i have found out that i am pregnant, so fingers crossed this time

And the best of luck to you, i think that if you ready to start trying then you should also you are more firtile after being pregnant so its the best time to try

Hope that you have found this abit helpful.

I had a miscarriage back in November, and I just recently found out that I'm pregnant again. So it only took me a little less than 3 months and I didn't have my period. It stopped the first time I was pregnant too, but everyone is different. So, depending on your body your period may stop right away or it may take a few months before it does stop. My doctor did advise me to wait a couple months after the miscarriage. It gives your body time to heal and hopefully by waiting it will improve your chances of having a successful pregnancy the 2nd time. Good luck to you.

hi all, i had miscarriage start of jan 08,i would of been 20 weeks now and cannot get over it, i had been trying for over 5 years and was over the moon when i saw the scan,but then told there was no haertbeat. iv been ttc since with no luck and its so upsetting i just dont know wot to do. iv had 2 m/c and 2 healthy babies in the last 19 years. thank you all and wish you all the luck xx

I WAS THE SAME I FEL PREGNANT EARLY APRIL BUT MISSCARRIED EARLY MAY, BASICALLY AFTER THREE WEEKS AROUND BEGGINING OF JUNE I CONCIEVED AGAIN, HOWEVER MY PARTNER TOLD ME LAST NIGHT THAT THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD AFFECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BABY, APPARENTLY THIS IS WHAT HE HEARD, I AM NOW VERY WORRIED AS I AM ONLY 9 WEEKS AND COUNTING EVERY DAY UNTIL I PASS THIS DANGER ZONE BUT HOW WILL I KNOW IF THEIR IS GOING TO BE ANYTHING WRONG? LIKE YOU I AM NOW CONFUSED...

Hi,

Since I have posted this thread I have looked into this and the reason that people say to not try straight away after m/c is for dating purposes only.

There is no reason that there should be a problem with your babies development. If you are really worried please go and discuss with your GP as you really do not need stressing out at the moment.

I am now 35 days since my m/c started and 12 days past ovulation. Still not had a period but the test I did a couple of days ago was negative.

Do you know how long after you concieved you got a positive pregnancy test.

Fingers crossed for you this time but sure you will be fine.

Not good news girls, my period came, regular as clockwork this morning. I'm gutted but at least I know we can start a fresh and everything's in order to try again this month. I'm holding on to the fact that if we're successful this month, today would be classed as the first`day of my pregnancy.

I know it is possible to to catch without a period, my friend just did, so stay hopeful and dont let it become you're life, everyone tells me if you relax about the whole thing it just happens. (easier said than done though huh?).

Back to square one tho for now. I'll keep you all posted.

Good luck ladies.

Hi Sarah,

I am sorry I can imagine how disappointed you must be. I am dreading my period coming this month after the miscarriage. Just keep thinking that I would have been 7 weeks pregnant today.

I have been doing ov sticks but not had a surge yet, had some cramps and a some white and clear discharge but have no idea what that is.

Keep me informed and hopefully will not be too long for us both.

Hello Jane,

I am dissapointed, in fact I was totally gutted first thing this morning but I'm trying to stay focussed. I would have been 9 weeks, it's really hard isnt it?

I've not tried the ov sticks. I've plotted my cycle on an ovulation chart and I keep tabs on my cm which is a fantastic indicator as to where you are, basically when it resembles raw egg white (sorry if tmi), it's all systems go. It worked a treat for me last time.

Anyway, let me know how you get on, fingers crossed we ghave some much needed luck soon.

hi im hop that you can, i had a miscarriage one month ago and have been kind of ttc since i stopped bleeding 2 weeks ago, my mum who had several miscarriages before falling pregnant with me and my sister said that you can ovulate two weeks after the day you start to miscarriage and that it is possible to fall pregnant staight away with out any problems. i think doctrs like to tell you to wait so its easier to chart your dates

Hi Sarah,

My fingers are crossed for you and I will look forward to hearing from you. Hopefully it will be good news.

I am the same I cannot bear the thought of waiting a few months. I am 30 and do not want to be wasting time at my age.

I have been doing ovulation sticks since thursday but not had a positive yet. It is very hard as I would have been due on my period on 2nd Aug but I do not suppose that will be the case now.

Take care x

hi there. i had a miscarriage just over 2 years ago. the doc told me to wait 3 month before trying to let my body rest. well i didnt i started trying straight away. i got told by many people that i would get pregnant straight after i m/c. i am 19(20 in 3wks) and i m/c on the 3rd may 05. i found out i was pregnant on the 2nd may 07. it took me 2years to get caught on. my periods were up and down n i ad symptoms every month since i m/c. in the end i 4got bout it and it happened. i understand how hard it is. but just hang on and some good will happen in the end.b good luck and enjoy trying! stacey n 17+2wk baby bump. x x

Hi there,

I had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago. I was told by the midwife to wait a while for my body to regulate primarily so that if I fell pregnant they would be able to date the pregnancy more easily. I have to be honest, I decided that I wasnt going to wait,life is too short. My doctor told me there would be no risk of any problems and trying again so soon would not increase my chances of having a miscarriage.

I ovulated a week after the miscarriage and I'm due on tomorrow. I had some spotting yesterday which has completely dissappeared so I am praying that we've been lucky (I really feel like I'm due some luck). Keep your fingers crossed for me and hopefully this time next week I'll be able to answer your question with a big fat yes!!

I would have been 8 weeks pregnant at the end of this week. (its difficult to get those dates out of your head) I still have pregnancy symptoms which is very annoying, almost teasing so you don't foget :+( I have very sore and heavy boobs and they feel like lead weights at the moment and i'm so short tempered and feel a little sickly! I am not sure when i am going to have my first period after the miscarriage but i know that i will feel quite depressed when it turns up(!)
It is quite strange how the body doesn't seem to go back to normal straight away? I think i might research a little more and see what i can find out. Quite funny your comments about the doc doesn't like us starting straight away coz it messes with the dates...how silly, as long as the pregnancy is ok and not in danger they should not say anything. xx

hi am gill i had a misscarriage on friday 12th october 2007 and i bleed for 1 week and i just hope that i will be pregnant again soon.
after reading all of your replys i no that i will be ok to start trying again. and if they or worryied about the dates i will just go by the day i stopped bleeding.

Hello girls,

I had a missed miscarraige on 7th Sept and I have still had no period. It was 8 weeks yesterday since I had my ERPC and still no signs of my period. I was originally advised to wait for 2 periods before trying, but since week 5 we have been being less careful and seeing what happens? I just feel in limbo at the moment, does anyone have any idea when my periods will be back and if possible to conceive again before my period is back?
