Anyone got any positive post miscarriage experiences?

We have been TTC for nearly five months.

Had a miscarriage at 5 weeks on 26th December.

We returned to TTC as soon as I stopped bleeding.

Now eagerly awaiting AF or am I being to hopefully in hoping for a BFP before AF?

Does anyone have any experience of this?

I know some Drs recommend a period first before trying (mine did over the phone) but as I'm sure it's mainly for dating reasons and we felt ready we continued as we were. It just felt right.

So want I BFP - The last five months has been such an emotional roller coaster.

I literally feel in no mans land at the moment not knowing what to expect.

I’m sorry for your loss OP.

I had a very early MC in Jan. I was pregnant again by March. That ended in MMC in May. I too a few months off TTC, mainly because I needed to get my underavtive thyroid back under control but also because I was mentally exhausted by the whol thing. I fell pregnant again in October and am now 18 weeks.

Best of luck - TTC (and pregnancy) after MC is an emotional roller coaster.

Can't give you a positive story yet but just wanted to let you know that I am in almost exactly the same boat as you. Had a miscarriage at 5 weeks beginning on December 20th (got pregnant on 4th cycle) and began trying again immediately afterwards without waiting for a period (wanting to take advantage of the supposed 'increased fertility' immediately after a miscarriage). Af is due tomorrow based on my ovulation date so I have absolutely everything crossed for a happy ending but I'm not sure that the signs are pointing that way.. Onwards and upwards if not though! Good luck, I hope it works out for you x

I'm sorry for your loss. I had early losses and was diagnosed with natural killer cells and was treated by Mr S on his protocol. 2 gorgeous DCs.

I am so sorry for your loss Flowers
I had a miscarriage in March and EPRC in April. I took a break from TTC as the timing was wrong for various reasons. Started TTC seriously again in August and fell pregnant straight away.
I wish you lots of luck. I know how heartbreaking an mc is.

I already had 1 DC but four years had passed before I became pregnant again. Assumed i'd be fine as done it before. Ended up having a MMC at 13 weeks. Fell pregnant again two months later only to have another MMC at 12 weeks (i'd had an early reassurance scan at 9 weeks that time).

Twelve months later after some half hearted trying I fell pregnant again, DD2 is now 8 months old.

So sorry for your loss OP Thanks. My doctor said we could try as soon as we felt ready, everyone deals with it differently.

I had a mmc in Sept 13, pregnant again in Jan 14, ds born in Aug 14 :)

I had a MC at 5 weeks, waited till after my period then conceived on the next cycle. We weren’t really trying - as in no charting, OPK or any of that business. Just DTD around the right time and got lucky.
I realise it isn’t that easy for everyone, and have every sympathy for those who have to wait longer. That’s just my positive story.
I did hear that you’re most fertile after birth or MC but not sure if that’s a myth...

So sorry for your loss. I lost my first, it must be about 10 yrs ago now. I had an ERPC on April 2nd and was pregnant again by the end of April, no AF. He will be 9 next week. Doesn't stop me thinking of the one I lost, but it does get easier.

I had an MMC in July. We conceived again in September and I'm 15 weeks pregnant.
Wishing you lots of luck Flowers

Bit of a mixed story from me.

Bad - we actually had 3 early miscarriages, one after another and tests to investigate why.

Good - nothing showed on the tests, we were told it was 'one of those things' and we then went on to have 2 DC with no problems.

shutupRuth · 15/01/2018 18:06

Not a positive experience to share but just wanted to let you know I’m in the same boat and send some support. I too have been scouring the boards for post-MC success stories.

I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks on Christmas Day, I’ve finally stopped bleeding and have what I hope will be my last blood test at the EPU tomorrow (HcG was 94 last week but got a negative HPT this weekend so I’m feeling positive) I’ve had regular blood tests as it was officially a ‘pregnancy of unknown location’ but I’m pretty sure I passed the sac last week which coincided with bleeding stopping.

We’re going straight back to TTC but as hormones are all over the place my ‘plan’ is just to DTD as much as possible and keep my fingers crossed that AF doesn’t show. And if it does; well at least then I have a CD1 to work from as I’m in no mans land right now.

Finger crossed for us both xx

twobambinos · 15/01/2018 17:39

We tried straight away but didn't conceive. It took us another 4 cycles again. I'm sorry for your loss.

gingerbubs · 15/01/2018 16:54

After my first early miscarriage AF seemed to take an absolute age to return, I think it was a few months. However, after second early miscarriage I did conceive in first month, before having AF, and that pregnancy stuck and is now 6 years old. Have had miscarriages since and usually 2-3 months before conceiving again. So a mixed bag! So sorry to hear about your loss and best of luck x

Oly5 · 15/01/2018 16:54

We tried before AF following my miscarriage but didn’t conceive. Did two months later though
