Conceive and successful pregnancy after miscarriage?

[Smoothieyummy]

Hi,

Has anyone have a successful pregnancy after that a miscarriage WHEN you conceived more than 6 months after the miscarriage happened?

Reason I'm asking, i had a miscarriage 1 month ago and plan to TTC again summer next year. I have read somewhere that you have a higher chance of miscarriage again if you waited more than 6 months?!

The EPU people also told me that it's better to TTC straight away after miscarriage as will be very fertile.

I got pregnant 5 months after a miscarriage and that pregnancy was successful. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I got pregnant 9 months after a m/c. Sadly that also ended in a mc. But i got pregnant 4 months after that and 3rd time lucky

Good luck

Never heard of the 6 months thing, even though on reflection it fits my experience. I know lots of people it doesnt fit though so i would ttc when it suits you rather than rush

Hi Torty cat, did anyone tell you the reason of the second mc? Could it be because there is a big gap between that and the first time? I'm so worried and scared :(. I wanted to take time and wait before TTC again but I'm worried that waiting is not good and will reduce a chance of a successful pregnancy, I will turn 30 next year so don't know if it's also a factor.

I've had three consecutive m/c. First and second were three months apart, second and third were 12 months apart.

I've been pregnant once a year for the last three years starting at age 39. Pregnant now - third time lucky hopefully. Good luck

I was diagnosed wirh antiphospholipid syndrome after mc 2 (so was on preventative meds for 3rd pregnancy). Had dc1 at 39 and dc2 at 41 (with another mc inbetween when i wasnt on meds as i didnr know i was pregnant). I think you still have plenty of time.

I guess there's many reasons why people may have a mc so I'm not sure what the reasoning behind the 6 months idea you heard about is ...?

So sorry for your loss. I'll echo the above and say TTC again when it feels right for you. I've read that high fertility after a miscarriage is a myth.

I don't have any experience but my sister had a miscarriage and then conceived 6 months later and had a successful pregnancy. She then fell pregnant v quickly after and has two DS 14 months apart! It's really different for everyone so do what's best for you. 30 isn't a worry - you have time.

My understanding is that they think that you're less likely to miscarry a second pregnancy within six months, but that you just go back to a 'normal' risk after that, if that makes sense? After one miscarriage you're not any more likely to miscarry again than anyone else - so waiting is by no means going to mean that you'll definitely miscarry again or anything. Routine medical advice used to be to tell all women not to conceive for three-six months after a miscarriage, and while they've now changed that advice obviously women were having successful pregnancies when following it.

I've had three miscarriages - I fell again the very next month after the first two, and am now having an enforced break for testing. Everyone told me it would be really good for me emotionally to have that break - I'm still not sure that's true for me but when I posted about it on here quite a few people said they thought having a break (voluntary or involuntary) was the best thing for them. S

I had a miscarriage and 12 months later had a successful pregnancy. I have 2 children now and didn't have another miscarriage

Yes. Got pregnant nine months after a mc and it was successful.

For me, i think trying again sooner than we did would have been bad for my mental health. I need time to process what had happened. But I've known people who have found it helpful to try again asap as a way of moving on. Go with you gut and do what's right for you.

Never heard of that concept

I am a believer in getting pregnant after miscarriage though as it happened to me

DD was conceived straight after mc but with DS I had a miscarriage in the March and didn't fall pregnant again til July the following year so that was ages .... I was 39

I've also never heard that theory! I conceived 2 months after a mmc and went on to mc that pregnancy naturally. After the 2nd mc, we began trying again straight away and I'm about 7 weeks post second mc now, hoping for a bfp asap. As others have said, I think it really is a personal choice and one where you have to go with how you feel. Don't wait 6 months if you don't want to. Many, many people don't. Many do, and many don't conceive despite trying until past that 6 month mark. Follow your gut. I'm sorry you're going through this and best of luck for the future x

I'm pregnant a year and a half after a miscarriage, I was trying to conceive that whole time so it took ages but I'm now 12+ weeks and everything is going great! I was also told I was infertile after my MC, I had test after test after test and told I'd never conceive again.... Here I am!

I miscarried again 6 months after my first miscarriage, got pregnant for the third time 15 months after that and that pregnancy was successful. Got pregnant again when DC1 was 1, also a successful pregnancy.

I am so sorry for your loss

Never heard that theory either. My experience is that an MC in Feb, another in June, a third in August then conceived again in November. Am now 39+5 with that pregnancy. No ryhme nor reason to any of it. Do what's right for you xx
