Hi,
I miscarried my first pregnancy at 5 weeks. My doctor suspected it was a chemical pregnancy and believes it was a one off and all will be fine next time. I was feeling ready to ttc again around a month or so ago but I have been waiting to complete my probation at work which also coincides with the qualifying period for maternity leave.
The last few weeks I have been finding the feelings of the miscarriage hard, with a friend acting insensitively regarding her family's members pregnancy, my other friend giving birth and a possible pregnancy announcement from a close family member. I thought maybe I am not as ready as I though to ttc if i am easily knocked back again.
However I have been posting on here as i hadn't felt i could really voice my feelings in real life. The support here has been lovely. I realize now that it was just a wobble and that i am ready to ttc but i will always have these feelings, they will just fade over time.
I am preparing myself to ttc again. Of course I am nervous at the prospect but im also excited. I am think i am feeling as calm as I can considering what has happened. Before i fell pregnant I had been taking pregnancare conception for around a month which my doctor was pleased about. I don't think it was related really but at the same time i cant help wondering?
My questions is has anyone heard of this being linked to miscarriage or if its ok to ask had experience of this.?
Then again i suppose its probably pretty impossible for someone to say they know for sure there was a link. Maybe i should just not take them so as not to add to my concerns when I become pregnant again.
I Hope this post sounds ok and I haven't upset anyone

Hi impatientlywaiting I am taking the Pregnacare conception vitamins so I hope not. They are made specifically for people trying to get pregnant so I really can't see them doing any harm.
What makes you think the vitamins might be the cause? It's difficult not having an answer and I suspect, like me, you are racking your brain to try and find one. I think an answer would be good as we'd know what to do or not do differently next time and make some sense of things. There is very rarely an answer though and I'm pretty sure it's nothing you did or didn't do 
Hi Thesmallbear How are you doing?
Oh ok I hope i haven't worried you now.
The rational part of my brain tells me that they are designed to help people to conceive and maintain a healthy pregnancy and they wouldn't have anything harmful in them, like you said. Its just im wondering if possibly im one of those unlucky people where the ingredients don't agree with my body with it getting too much of one thing or the other. Chances are though its nothing like that and it really was just one of the those unfortunate and horrible things.
I looked this up to see if any links had been found and only found old reply's from another pregnancy forum. What you said about wanting to find a cause mirrored an old post. I think my brain is trying to find any possibilitys so i can protect myself next time.
Thank-you for your reply

I am sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage last year, I was taking Pregnacare Conception at the time, but am certain there was no link. I continued taking Pregnacare Conception as we wanted to try again straight away, it did take more than a year to become pregnant again (so I've taken a lot of Pregnacare) and I am now 22 weeks pregnant. I have done nothing differently this time. I do not know why my first baby died, or why this one is, so far, fine. Miscarriage is a horrible, painful thing but there is probably nothing you could have done differently to change the outcome.
