Miscarried...when can we try again?

[swmum24]

Just miscarried number 2 (pregnancy 1 was a roaring success) a few days ago at 6 weeks. Was quite straightforward, it happened over a few days but everything seems to have come out, have a check up in two days.
I'm super keen to get cracking and start to try again ASAP. Midwife said to wait two cycles but I keep reading conflicting information saying it's unnecessary to wait that long.
Also, have read about procedures like uterine massage, womb cleansing etc to prepare for the next baby. It sounds crazy as I write it, but has anyone heard or tried any of these?
Also, am hoping to hear positive stories of successful pregnancies after miscarriage...please!!!

Hi, I'm very sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

I had an early miscarriage of pregnancy two after easy first one. We tried again straight away and I'm currently feeding the result! I had heard leave one cycle but we just went for it and everything was fine.

I have since heard that you can be super-fertile after a miscarriage... Obviously you should pay attention to the medical advice, but I think a lot of it is when you feel ready yourself.

Good luck!

Sorry for your loss.

Make absolutely sure you have a negative pregnancy test before having unprotected sex. Imagine the awful confusion you would experience if you had a positive in a few weeks and were unsure if it was a new pregnancy or not.
I waited one cycle after my mc at 11 weeks because I wanted to get my cycle back on track and allow myself to heal physically and emotionally. It's really up to you when you are ready to try.
I haven't heard of those procedures and to be honest, if you have only had one miscarriage (sorry to say it like that- I know how awful mc is, but with just one, there is no evidence to suggest that it might happen again or that there is anything wrong), it seems like quite a drastic step.
Fingers crossed for you.

Myself and my sister both had successful pregnancies immediately after miscarriage-it was a few years ago, just as advice was starting to come out about not waiting. I followed my usual pattern of trying to conceive (start having sex every day from 8 days after period starts-I took the start of the miscarriage as day one, fortunately for me as I was only 6 weeks I bled as if it were a period, so only for 5 days-, after 14 days do it every other day).

I just wanted to curl up and be left alone following mine, but I knew the only way I'd cope was to focus on getting pregnant again. I was pregnant again immediately, resulting in a healthy pregnancy.

Good luck-I'm so sorry for your loss x

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had two myself before having DC. Each time we did not wait before trying again. There is no real need to wait although waiting one cycle makes dating a pregnancy easier if you are lucky enough to conceive right away.
I have never heard of those procedures. Be wary of stuff like that, there are often people looking to make money by preying on the desperation of vulnerable people. All being well your uterus will sort itself out like it usually does each month. It your miscarriage is complete you don't need any sort of procedure.

As for positive stories, well I now have a baby and a two year old and that awful year of the miscarriages seems so long ago now.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

As others have said it's up to you as you know how you feel best.

I miscarried at around 5 weeks last year (no2, no probs with ds pregnancy) decided to try again straight away (after a bfn) and got a bfp the next month. Unfortunately I miscarried again at 7 weeks.

It was probably just a horrid coincidence and as others have said there's lots of positive stories so I don't want to scare you or put you off at all but for me I wish we had waited. Dealing with it emotionally twice in 3 months was very hard.

We've had a few months off and started ttc again this month, I feel much more positive and emotionally prepared now.

Lots of luck whatever you decide

I'm sorry for what you've been through

I miscarried in late December 2013 at around 6 weeks, we didn't wait to try again and I got the positive test just before valentines 2014. He's now climbing the cot. It can happen quickly x

Come along to the mc thread (the best shit place to be) xxx

Thanks for the uplifting stories ladies. It's so hard to not think there may be something wrong and it will never happen again, especially when you hear such horror stories. We conceived pretty easily both times so fingers crossed it happens again.
I'm going to the hospital on Wednesday for a check to see if everything's ok (dreading it because the hospital was awful and I only found out I lost the baby because I paid for a scan privately) then I think we can start to think about trying again soon, or at least start practicing again!!
