I am just wondering how soon people have concieved after a miscarriage? I realise doctors advise you to wait a cycle or two, but have people concieved before then and was everything okay?
Im just finding it hard to wait and realise i should wait for a cycle or two, but have also been to told that you have every chance of miscarriaging if you wait, to if you concieved straight away?
There is so much advice out there its hard to know what is right or wrong. So i thought a better way would be to ask your experiences!
Danielle - Im so sorry for your loss - make sure you take it easy and look after your self during this time.
I had an early m/c at 8 weeks - and because it was quite early the Doc told me that I could ttc straight away and low and behold we got our BFP the very next cycle and Bella is now 7 months old! So it can happen and turn out very well.
GL ttc. I hope it happens again very soon for you. I had a m/c 18/5/09 and have being ttc since then and I will get a BFP very soon.
I think it depends on how far into your pregnancy you were, if you had a D&C and if there were any complications after your m/c as to when the Dr advises you to ttc again. In saying that I have known women to not wait the time frame they have being told, falling pregnant straight away and had a gorgeous baby no problems. I think ultimately it comes down to the individual.
I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks in Oct 08 and had D&C, we conceived again in Jan 09. I wasnt told to wait any set amount of time.
But and this may sound a little silly... I found that it really compounded the loss of our 1st angel and I really did do the 'what ifs' and felt guilt that this little one was staying put. Not being negative but that was how I felt and I didnt feel I was at prepared for those feelings. I am certainly not trying to offend you in anyway.
Thank you all so very much for your replies, it means alot.
Goodluck ttc Emmy83, im sure it will happen for you very soon xxx.
Lily Dust, i am not offended at all, i certainly know what you mean and can understand how you would feel that way. Although we are very sad we lost our little angel also, i feel everything happens for a reason and try to stay positive, though sometimes you wonder what can be positive out of losing a baby? Maybe my past angel had something genetically wrong with him? You just never know.
I had a 12wk MC in June 2006. I refused D&C as I was unaware of the pregnancy at the time and most of it had passed. I had a few complications requiring antibiotics and went straight into cycle monitoring (we had been TTC for a while but hormones were not behaving).
Long story short, after being told I had secondary infertility, I fell pregnant without intervention in October 2006. We are not users of preventive methods so conception was totally out of our hands in the months prior other than my healing time. DS3 is now almost 2yo.
As a PP illuded there can also be an emotional toll. I needed some serious counselling about a year after the MC, in the months before I was due, as I clearly did not deal with it at the time. If you find yourself not coping with the loss then please also reach out for professional help such as a counsellor or psychologist. It is important for babies to welcomed into the world by healthy Mums as often as possible!
I cannot tell you to try or not to try. My only suggestion is to go with what is right for yourself and your DP both physically and emotionally. Best wishes as you move forward from your loss.
