how soon trying to get pregnant after miscarriage
I've read in my prgenancy books and on forums and I've been told by doctors to wait 1 to 3 cycles before trying to get pregnant again after having had a miscarriage recently. But there doesn't seem to be any research to back this up...no one can tell me if there's a medical risk if I get pregnant sooner. Does anyone know? I am 36 years old and had a m/c on my first pregnancy last month and I'm eager to try again. If it's for emotional reasons that people say to wait, well getting pregnant again will make me feel better as that was my goal, but I don't want to have an increased risk of another m/c by getting pregnant too soon. But time is an issue b/c I am 36 and just starting to have children now. I know this all may be pointless if I don't ovulate again soon, but hoping thinsg get back to normal soon. I had a natural m/c and my hcg levels are almost back to normal or zero. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
hi my name is christy i miscarried 2 weeks ago tommorow i was 8 weeks i want to start trying again now do you think it is 2 soon to try ive heard your more fertile right after just wanted to know if anyone could give me some advice
Hi
First of all sorry for everyone losses, it get better with time. I also just had a m/c the 3rd of Jan. It was very hard because we went to the docs office the 28th of Dec and didnt here a heart beat so they told us to come back next week because I was 10 weeks and they were sure everything was fine and I was too because I already have a 18 month old. But the 3rd of Jan was a day I will not forget ever. It was very hard for me because I had to call and tell a few ppl that I wasnt prego anymore which sucked! Anyways I bled for 6 weeks total and on the fith week I had an ultra sound to make sure everything came out on its own which it did thankfully. I got my period four days after I stopped bleeding. which was nuts cuz I didnt think there could any more blood left in there since I bled that long! I know it kinda sounds weird but I named my little one and it really helped with the healing process.I cryed everynight for a week after it happend,we were so excited that we were going to have another one and our daughter to be a big sister. I still cry every now and then and its hard when you see your prego friends but you still have to be happy for them. Having a m/c really gives you a different presecptive on life. I wouldnt wish a m/c on anyone because I know first hand how much they suck. I have 3 close friends that a prego right now and one is having her baby tommorow which is exciting. but I so badly wish it was me! but I am truely happy for her. I waiting for my next period to ttc again so hopefully it will come when its supposed too! If it works out I might have a Christmas baby but I cant get my hopes up too high. fingers crossed tho... (thanks for letting me vent) Its diffently hard some days.

hey there just reading your story and think we miscarriage the same time as i has a miscarriage on the 31st of Jan this year. we want to try again now but Im two scared as i want to wait for my period to come as i don't want to go thought it again. i am due for my next period but im late they say that it can take to to 8 weeks for the next period to some after a miscarriage i hope not for the 1st time in my live i want them to come. Im in New Zealand I did not fell that there was up care here When i phone my midwife and told her i was bleeding and in a lot of pain she told me to ride with it. 2 days later my partner took me to hospital there it was confirmed . 3 weeks later she phoned to see if i was ok and i need a check up. so i will not be using her again. my sister-in-law has 3 miscarriages an she has now got 2 lovely girls. My aunt has a miscarriage at 6 months and had to give birth to a still birth and she has 2 lovely kids. after knowing this it gives us hope. I really wish you the best on haven a baby

Hiya. I've been reading your conversation and blossoming friendship with laylalady and it's given me so much hope. I miscarried naturally January 30th exactly 1 wk today and I'm only just managing to smile again. It wasn't planned but we got very excited and planned everything. It wasn't until we lost our baby that we realised how much we wanted it. I found out when I was 8 wks and 4 days. I started with brown spotting and period pain for 3 days , light blood spotting on the 4th day and on the day of the miscarriage I was having mini contraction pains ( what I imagine them to be ) and bleeding got really heavy . I had the miscarriage whilst waiting at the gyny emergency ward to see someone. I rushed down there. Judging by my hcg levels on that Monday (870 ) I must of lost my baby weeks before.
1 week on and until now I couldn't even face looking forward ,I haven't got dressed for 5 days and can't face anyone but after reading your conversations about your blossoming pregnancy's instead of making it me feel upset or jealous that you have a baby and I don't it has helped in my healing process. I can see forward and see that you both went through what I've been through and you now have little girls.
I am going to wait for my first period and we are going to try again and hopefully get pregnant very soon.
I'm going to insist that they take regular blood counts very early on and that I have regular scans to check my progress. This will help my stress levels a lot.
Many thanks again to both of you.
You have really helped me !!!
Very happy for you both to have gorgeous little girls and hopefully I will join you.
If I have my own way I will have a baby by Christmas :)
