Conception after Miscarriage

[Delilah7]

Looking for abit of guidance and maybe reassurance. Had a miscarriage in August. First baby on 3rd cycle. It's now been three months since that miscarriage and for some reason I thought I'd be pregnant by now. Is it normal for it to take a while to get pregnant again after miscarriage. 😌

Hi Delilah it's Laura here spoke few weeks ago, I'm feeling the same way as you are, my miscarriage was in June and I thought I'd be pregnant again by now but so far nothing. Periods have been stranger ever since where I'm having two in a month and not lasting all that long two/three days at the most then done. I'm thinking of going for a projesterone blood test within the next couple of weeks. I know when I saw the GP few weeks back she said it can take few months for things to settle down with our bodies, still doesn't make it any easier though. How are you? Xx

@Lauraliverpool hi lovely. So sorry you're having to comment on this post. Tell me about it!! Periods suck after. I was always 28 days I now seem to be 33!!! Feels like my cycle is forever!! X x

@Delilah7 hi Hun just wanted to say you're not on your own. Oh yes they do not half!! Why can't things be more straight forward?? Xx

@Lauraliverpool honestly the last three months have been the most complicated of my bloody life!!! Xx

Sorry to jump on but I could have wrote this post myself.

Sadly miscarried in May and thought that it be pregnant by now. Had the ‘perfect’ cycle before which made it early to track but now cycles are anything between 28 - 33.

Sorry no advice but just wanted to say that you’re not alone

@Delilah7 it feels like it consumes you and every part of your life!! Xx

I feel your pain ladies! I had a MMC in July. Af arrived again this morning so going into my 3rd cycle but it’s 6 days early. So had a period at beggining of this month and end. Same happened last month, so confusing. Also spotting a lot in between - I did have to have a D&C after my miscarriage so may be linked I don’t know. Got a doctors appointment booked as having lower back ache alot lately, as well as the spotting and I am getting a racing heart beat every now and again too but that could be anxiety 😢 my strange cycles aren’t helping. Sending massive luck to you all ❤️ Your not alone. I niavely thought it would of happened by now as it only took one cycle last time - but U need to remember to be kind to yourself and give it time. So hard though. Xxx

I'm in the same boat! MMC July and still no BFP- I thought you were super fertile following a MC?? Annoyingly I think it just takes time for your body to get back to normal and it's different for everybody!

I had a MMC June 2015 and found out I was pregnant with my son in the October heard a lot about you being more fertile afterwards. I thought it might have been similar this time and beginning to worry now as I am a few years older. Just wonder how long it is going to take for things to go back to normal. @Babycakes1989 you sound similar to me having two periods in a month, I too had a erpc so wondering if that's got something to do with it. Xx

@Birchgirl sorry you've had to join this thread! Thank you. Just feel like I should be pregnant by now. However I'm not!! X

@Babycakes1989 thank you Hun and sorry you're on this thread. Let us know how doctors goes?? Fingers crossed we will all get BFPS again soon x

@mrss2018 just so bloody frustrating isn't it!! X

Hi ladies,

Exactly the same for me. MMC in July - my periods were very regular before but my cycles seem to be getting longer and longer now. Currently on day 34 with so sign of a period and BFN this morning.

Just wanted to post to say I share your frustration and hope it's good news for us all soon 

@snowy29 hi lovely. Sorry you're on this thread!! mine are the same. Seem to now be bloody 33 days after normally being regular at 28!! X

I got pregnant first cycle trying but had a MMC at 12 weeks back in March/April. This is our 7th cycle trying and no luck at all yet. I also hoped that fertility was higher after a miscarriage. Most of the women I know that this was true for miscarried very early at about 5 weeks then got pregnant immediately the next cycle. They were also young. I'm 43 :(

Just to add I'm lucky to have a one year old so I do count my blessings.

@PetraRabbit I miscarried at 5 weeks and I'm also 23. However I have not fell pregnant since August so I don't think either of those things have much to do with it hahaha x x

I’m tempted to buy ovulation testing devices but have literally no idea where to start or what to get!! At the same time I don’t want to get obsessed but because my cycles are a bit unsettled I’d like to know!! Ps I feel like a granny saying this but I can’t do that thing where you @ someone to reply it doesn’t work for me!! Haha so not being rude.xxx

@Babycakes1989 I tried cheap ones and they didn't work for me so I'll do the clearblue ones next month for a month x x x

Miscarried June 2017 and periods changed to 3 days. Still on time, but light and short. x

Using the clear blue fertility monitor again and this period if it was one only lasted 2 days. Xx

Hi im in the same siuation too, i miscarried in August too and was hoping id be pregnant now. So sorry we are all in this situation xx

So sorry you guys are here @Rainbow714 @Presh12345 Hopefully end of this year will be our rainbows!! Xx

I'm in the same boat fell pregnant with dad on cycle 2 after coming of pill. Fell pregnant on cycle 1 in January this year and discover MMC end of March which was medically removed beginning April. Periods are still all over with no regular cycle. I was regular 28 days before. Going to try the sperm meets egg program this month to see if we can catch ovulation. Ovulation tests haven't helped and I'm tempted to go for the clear blue ones this month!

Went to see a fertility specialist and he did all the scans etc. Gave me femara for 5 days and go back Saturday to see how the eggs have come on. In the meantime, husband did a sperm analysis and he has a low count. As far as I'm aware, we are doing iui number 1 this week. Have decided with hubby if this first cycle doesn't work to give it a rest, no tracking, no reading, no apps, no peeing on sticks. Get a bit of excitement back in our relationship and not just baby sex, get healthy, lose weight, he can start to take vitamins and see what happens. Then reassess in Jan or Feb time.

Hi all,

I had a miscarriage back in March (at 9 weeks, baby was 8+3) and sadly still nothing since then. Kills me a little more each month and found my 'due date' particularly hard.

Strangely from that date it feels like some sort of closure (hate that but it's true) to the first pregnancy.

Hoping it won't take much longer but have stopped saying 'if I'm pregnant by x date...' each month and seems to have reduced the pressure.

Something I tell my self is it is normal to take up to a year and I have already been pregnant once in that year so could have a while to go yet but that's normal, we was lucky to fall fast last time and was expecting the same but doesn't always work out that way.

I definitely agree. It’s my 30th birthday in March and due date was February - I wanted so badly to be pregnant by then but I am starting to try and not think that way now as it might not be the case. I’m trying to distract myself by planning lots to look forward to during the month and decorate the house! I really hope everyone gets the news they want very soon 😘 it’s such a horrible and confusing thing to go through. It’s made me realise a lot of things! Xx
