TTC after a Blighted Ovum

[aussienic]

I know you can get pg after a mc even before your next af would be due..

I had a blighted ovum with my first loss (2001) I took a while to fall pg again but went on to have another son.. I had another mc 10 months later but it was not a blighted ovum and have 2 more children since then as well

good luck with your journey to having a baby. I am also sorry for the loss of your precious one

Hey hun
We had to have IVF to get pregnant in the first place, our FS said sometimes it just happens.... They don't know why?? It is just one of those things (not the easiest thing to hear when you are going through it I know ). So, we did the cycle end of jan by April had the D&C as I was about 8 weeks along, and showing no sign s of natural miscarriage - it would have happened but I didn't want to wait. I felt pregnant the moment I saw those two lines of the pee stick. Then I got one period, and in the June we did a forzen transfer - it didn't work I was cool with that, I never felt PG. Then in the November we did another fresh cycle - put two embies in and fell PG with one, my son Eli! So all up we had been TTC a la natural for 5 years, and 1 year of IVF treatment gave us one angel baby, and one forever baby and we have 3 frosties waiting.
As for hurting you or bubs in trying. I think they usually recommend one cycle before trying again, but stranger things have happened. Keep up your vitamins and eat well, IMO if you feel you are ready your ready.
Hope this helps
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with

Hey
The IVF cycles take a while. We started cycle late Jan, had embie put back in mid Feb, then I was 8 weeks along before we knew what was happening. I found out on a Thursday and I had D&C on the following Monday. So we didn't wait long from knowing it was a no go to having D&C if that makes sense? Wishing you all the best for the 7th and I hope you get PG soon

Hi, I am in exactly the same boat as you.

We had a blighted ovum in mid Septmeber and had a D&C at the time as I couldn't handle waiting for it to all be over. This is our 3rd miscarriage, but we have 3 children as well.

My Ob told me to wait 2-3 months before TTC again, simply to give my body a chance to get back to normal and heal. It has now been 3 months, almost 4 (we had to wait an extra month due to other circumstances) and we are in the TWW.

After my first miscarriage a couple of years back my first reaction was to get pregnant again. ASAP. And 6 weeks later we were. However a scan at 6 weeks revealed that there was problems and a D&C and testing followed. It showed chromosomal abnormalities. I will always wonder if my haste to get pregnant again so quickly somehow affected the viability of the next pregnancy. That said, there are plenty or women who get pregnant straight after a mc and go on to have healthy babies. Age and time are not on my side at the moment, so I don't want to have to wait 3 months again if something goes wrong again.

If you feel you are ready to start trying again, then I say go for it. You can wait for your cycle to start again or you can have a bit of fun and if it happens it happens.

I am sorry for your loss and hope that 2010 will be the year you get your baby.
