How soon did you conceive after miscarriage? Is the hyperfertility thing a myth? x

2 months.

I haven’t heard of hyper fertility…off to google. However, I miscarried in March, waited to start trying until I’d had a period (which was exactly 4 weeks later) and then conceived the next cycle. I’m still early stages and hoping it all goes well this time. I had taken 6 months to conceive my miscarriage.
Hopefully won’t take too long for you.

I had a miscarriage in May, and then found out I was pregnant in September. I sadly miscarried again in November. I then found out I was pregnant again in February - and all went well with that pregnancy and my son was born in November. Looking back, I was lucky and able to conceive fairly quickly, but at the time it felt like forever and I was crushed each time my period arrived . I am so sorry for your loss, OP. Sending so much love. Miscarriages are beyond painful.

Straight away. I didn't wait for my period to return. I'm currently eleven weeks and everything looks okay so far.

If you're posting this because you have recently experienced a miscarriage then I'm really sorry this happened to you. I hope you have support and conceive again soon.

My miscarriage was in January and I still haven’t conceived a further 6 cycles on, despite my cycles returning to normal straight away and despite having sex multiple times every month around ovulation (which I’m tracking with opk and bbt).

I was absolutely devastated by the miscarriage and pinned so much hope on the hyper-fertility, didn’t even have a period and got pregnant straight away type posts and my mental health is really not great right now in consequence.

On that basis, try to manage your expectations and not assume that it will necessarily happen quickly.

I really, really hope it’s a more positive outcome for you though and that you conceive again as soon as you feel ready to start trying.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

It took me nearly two years to conceive after a miscarriage, but I’d been on the pill for a very long time and it took a while for my hormones to and cycle to balance.

Thank you very much everyone. All really helpful. So sorry you all went through it too. It’s the most painful thing I’ve been through. It only happened less than a month ago, every day has been so long. We didn’t have the luxury of waiting longer before trying again because we’d tried so long for that pregnancy. I think because it’s approaching my next period now I’ve started clinging onto hope (perhaps my mind needed a distraction from the grief) but I know deep down it’s unlikely like all those months before. Trying to balance hope and realism.
I’m so pleased some of you got your rainbow baby and really hope others do soon 🙂 xx

Hi OP

I had a chemical pregnancy when trying to conceive my second born 4.5 years ago, tried again right away and found out 4 weeks to the day of that loss that I was pregnant with DD. However after a much later miscarriage many years ago I remember my period didn’t return for a few months (not ttc) so that would have impacted my ability to get pregnant had I been ttc. That was after a d&c so may have been the reason for the delay in my cycle returning.

So sorry you’re going through this, I hope you have plenty of support and have a subsequent happy and healthy pregnancy 💐
