Sorry for bothering you again but I know you will be able to help me.I wasn't given a lot of information after my misscarriage last month and I assume we have to wait till at least till after my next period before trying again,but is that it or do we have to wait a certain ammount of time as well.Also any idea how long after a ms do you get your next period.Sorry if I seem a bit thick but as I say we were not given any info can anyone reccomend a book to answer any questions after ms.

Hi there. Went to docs today. He wa great - referred me for a load of blood tests - for kidney and liver and thyroid funtion and anaemia and alsoan auto immune scan. I even managed to get the blood taken at the hospital today. He has also referred me to a gynaecologist. He said though not to try for a baby until I see her (even to use contraception) since she amy want to do invasive tests including hysteroscopy. I had felt before I went that I would go for bloods but nothing invasive as we want to keep trying but now I have changedmy mind. As he said, far better wait now and see if there is something there that can be treated than go through it all again. So that is what I am going to do but hope my consultant appointment is not too far offf. How are you Bunny2 with your tests? Are you trying at the same time. And how are you getting on Leander?

Thank you ladies for al the advice on this page,altho I didn;t ask for it, it has been very useful.

I have just had a mc on Tuesday, and knew I wasn't alone, but it is comforting to hear from other moms, and their advice.

I just wish people would stop aking me how I feel, how am i doing, (I know they mean well), but it's happened I can't do anything about it, so I just want to get on and enjoy my life, wait for a period or two and try again, I hate to dwell on the past.

THanks again all the ladies for their adive

Brunhilda, that's great news, you sound very positive! Don't forget, if they don't find anything, it means you have a great chance of success next time! How long will the tests take? Don't want you to be out of action too long!!

Hi chucks. Don't know how long tests will take. Guessit depends on when I can get Consultant appt. I guess there was nothing wrong with my bloods as doc said he would phone me if there was a prob. Just gotta keep waiting. Doc said not to wrorry 34 is v young. he said actress patricia Hodge had first babay at 45. Was she the one in She Devil?

Hiya, Lord knows! I heard the name though! Sounds promising then!!
BTW 34 is young!!! You,ve no worries there. You'll be 'graduating' to the trying to conceive thread with Bunny then I take it soon!!!!! It is a very lucky thread I have to say!

Im from another thread, I miscarried out twins at 13 weeks. These as hurt us both more as I was told I would never be able to get pregnant, Then while on our honeymoon I fell pregnant and now I have nothing at all. We would really both like kids but are unsure as to when to start trying again. Neither one of us wants to go through all this again, I have the stretch marks and a bump and nothing to show for it.

Sweetmexico, not much advice over and above what is on here already, but just wanted to say I'm really sorry to hear about your loss.
