Pregnant straight away after m/c

Does anyone have any success stories or unsuccessful stories about getting pregnant straight away after a m/c without having a proper period?

I fell pregnant after six years of trying, then had a miscarriage. I then fell pregnant six weeks later but cant remember if I had period.

Trix1..

I have fallen pregnant straight after m/c (no AF) but unfortunatley m/c'd again. Please understand I am an exceptional case. I have had loadsa m/c and no viable pregnancies. Sad

I have been on mn for nearly two years and have heard of many women getting pregnant straight after m/c. They now have babies so please don't worry too much.
Enjoy pregnancy whenever it happens Smile

Hi... I had a MC in February when i was 7+1 and fell pregnant again straight away with no af. I am now 13+5. I had a scan last week and the baby seems fine in there.

I had 4 mcs, the month after my last one I thought there's no way I'll fall pg this soon so completely forgot about ttc...and fell pg! My ds is now 11m. So the date of my last period on maternity notes was the 1st day of my last miscarriage! They tell you not to ttc straight away but it's only so they can date the pg!

hi northants mel, can i just ask if if you didnt have an a/f before you conceived after your m/c how did you get your pregnancy dates?

Rachee · 04/07/2006 20:59

in the middle of a m/c at the mo, ( twins, lost one already 2 weeks ago, other is dead but waiting for it to come out naturally) i have been told to have 2 months before trying again, i don't want to wait.... will i be doing myself any harm in trying again so soon, they say it's to get your body back to norm and your hormones ?? or is it just the date thing really.... nurse said i have a higher chance of another m/c if we do try straight away?? is she telling the truth

bramblina · 05/07/2006 12:04

No rachee she isn't, IME. Unless they have found a cause for your mc then there is no evidence to suggest so. Do what feels right for you, what you want, as I said I concieved straight away after my 4th, and my gorgeous ds is now 11months.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. Just take your time and I wish you lots of luck.

desperate2bmum · 05/07/2006 13:33

rachee that is wrong, my doctor told me to wait for one a/f so that the pregnancy canbe dated easily. but that is what they have scans for nowadays. i have also been doing other research on the internet and spoken to other MNers and aslong as you feel ready to try then go ahead there is no time limit.
i m/c 3 weeks ago and we are ttc now i am not going to be waiting for my a/f.
so sorry to hear about your loss and i hope you fall again soon.

I was also told by my doctor that there was no real reasons to wait, as long as you are emotionaly ready. Dr also said there is a high chance a pregnancy following a m/c would be perfectly healthy. I had a m/c 3 weeks ago and my partner and I started trying straight after the bleeding stopped. fingers crossed in a few weeks we will hear some good news. I have also heard you are more fertile after m/c but it can take some women a long time to fall pregnant. its all a case of when your body's ready you will fall make sure your mind is ready first.. good luck everyone I know how it feels to loose a baby even if it is just a few weeks it is hard to deal with and it seems know one understands why you are so upset... you have every rite to be.

I had a m/c in Nov '01, waited for one AF then got pg straight away with ds born Sep '02. I think you need at least one AF for your dates, otherwise it's when you feel ready. Dating scans are pretty accurate if they're done early enough so you would still get a good "window" for a due date, but waiting at least a month would be wise IMO.

I had a mc and D&C 7 weeks ago and am now approximately 5-6 weeks pg again, with of course no period in between, and so far (albeit it's early days) everything's looking good.

Lesley Regan's take on this (in her book Miscarriage) is that the right time to try again is when you fel ready. My gyn subscribes to this view too.

hi miscarried 3 weeks ago doctor told us to wait a month but my friend at work told me she had a miscarriage and fell pregnant a week later her baby is now 2 and healthy we decided not to wait and i am very sure i am pregnant now just wait another week to take pregnancy test i am pretty sure the doctors say it to cover themselves i say go for it when your ready plus in the oldendays people had no birth control etc and where never told to wait follow your animal instinct lol when you feel ready

Lio · 16/10/2006 16:21

Yes, happened to me. Spent first five months of pregnancy not daring to believe it was real, but now we have the living proof of it. Are you asking for you or a friend?

edie123 · 16/10/2006 16:23

I love love love hearing from people that have had sucessful pg's after mc! Im ttc again after mc, wish me luck!!!!!

MrsFish · 20/10/2006 19:30

I had a ERPC 2 weeks ago, I wasn't sure whether to wait a while until I tried again, after reading this thread I am more comfortable in just waiting to see what happens. I have had a little bleeding on and off since I had it done, the latest bout about 7 days after the ERPC, so I haven't been sure whether it is a period or an after effect of the above.

I have been really tearful the past few days and this afternoon have slipped into a bit of a depression, am holding back tears as I type, must be the hormone crash I was told about
