I received an email telling me someone replied. First, let me say I'm sorry for your loss. When I posted my comments it was 6 weeks ago. Since then I have had a couple of severe bleeding episodes which resulted in the expelling of the SCH. I'm presently 15 wks pregnant and the twins seem to be doing okay. I'm not out of the woods yet as I might have an amnio in the next couple of weeks.

As I stated, I think I've had a SCH before which resulted in a m/c. In fact I was utterly convinced that I had a m/c at 6 wks with all the bleeding (shocked even to find out I was still pregnant). I'm not sure what caused my SCH other than a tear in the placenta, which I think has healed (I'll find out in two days when I go to the doctor). I also think that being pregnant w/ twins can contribute to having an SCH. Since I was first diagnosed with it I've found out that SCH are quite common, expecially w/ multiples. It seems to result in m/c about 15% of the time.

I don't think that since you had one SCH that your at risk for another, its just something that happens. I have had two, but I also have been pregnant 7 times and have four children.

I wish you luck, I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you will have a lasting and healthy pregnany. As far as how long to wait until you get pregnant I'm not a doctor I can only tell you from my personal experience that when I had a m/c I was pregnant the next month w/ child #3 (who is now 6).
