Just that really. I’m interested to hear how long it took to get pregnant after a miscarriage.

I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks in September. We were only trying for 2 months so felt lucky at the time that we conceived so fast. Not feeling so lucky now obviously. I’ve had 2 periods since the mc and we are trying again. I’m 32 and ttc number 1.

I know everyone says relax and it will happen but I feel like if I’m not pregnant by the time my due date (late March) I will feel so sad and low. X

I’m in the same boat as you💕 had a mmc at 9 weeks in July(1st pregnancy). Been trying since first period in September and my third cycle is late but I’ve taken 2 tests and it’s been a no. Think my hormones are still recovering🤕 my due date was February and like you I just pray I’m pregnant before then but I’m trying to be open minded incase I’m not it just so hard. I’ve had 3 close friends announce pregnancy’s recently - all too scared to tell me. I am also feeling really really low. I’m trying to be ok because that’s what people expect. But I’m not and won’t until I’m pregnant again. It’s so so so hard and I know how your feeling, your not alone. On the plus side most of the women that I know who have been through this have conceived pretty soon after - soon being within 6 months. Stay strong xx

Aww, thank you for your message and sorry to hear your are struggling. It’s so hard isn’t it? Some days I’m ok, the others I have had total melt downs. It’s hard to stay positive at times. I’m worried about how I will feel on Christmas Day and at new year. Feeling all sad an emotional. It must have been tough hearing your friends news, luckily none of my friends are pregnant but a lot have babies and toddlers.

If you are late with af then you are re still in the game?! I have just started my TWW today and feel it is going to drag! Last month I tested early and was gutted to see the BFN, going to try my best this time to just leave it until af is late. Famous last words. X

Yes it’s so hard my lovely. And yes I worry about Xmas but mainly for me it was being pregnant before my 30th which is in march or just before my due date. Yeah I guess I am still in the game I just don’t feel pregnant like I did last time. But with the 2 negative tests I am really not sure. I wish the doctors could test me for stuff just to make sure everything’s okay. Planning fun things and having distractions and other things to look forward to are a great comfort. I really hope the 2ww goes quick for you and you get your bfp very soon! Miscarriage is such a hard thing to go through. I was never aware until I went through it myself. Its just pants as I’m sure you will agree that with the next pregnancy it’s going to be so hard at the beggining. It’s taking the innocence out of it for me. 😪😩 xxx

I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks, after getting pregnant in first month of trying. It did take my body a while to recover, we didn’t try for a couple of months after (on medical advice) then got pregnant 6 months after. I can remember feeling awful when the due date came, as when I miscarried I naively assumed it would happen again quickly. DD1 is now 10.

Trying to conceive second, 3 years later, again got pregnant straight away. Miscarried at 6 weeks. Left it for one period, then conceived the next month. Dd2 is 7.

I completely understand how you feel, each miscarriage knocked me for six. The first was worse, it was the day before my 12 week scan and I’d had earlier scans where they’d seen a heartbeat and had said something like there was a 90% of all being ok.

Try to stay positive. I think it just takes the body time to recover. xx

Thank you for sharing your story and glad you got your babies. Hearing positive stories have really helped me.

I totally agree baby cakes, I never knew much about miscarriage the emotional impact has just been so much for me, you spend so many weeks planning and getting excited for something that will change your life and then it gets taken away, it’s heartbreaking. I know what you mean about milestone bithdays. You are still young though, I really hope it happens for you.

TWw is so hard, it’s more getting my hopes up, thinking things like oh my boos are sore etc then getting the bfn and crying then building hopes up again, it’s an emotional rollercoaster, especially after a mc. When I got pregnant the first time we were trying and I had an app with my dates but I wasn’t crazy about it. Argh, hoping for bfp for us both x

I had a miscarriage and then got pregnant 3 months later, I know it feels like it will never happen but the chances are everything is fine and you’ll probably be pregnant again fairly soon. But I know the wait is awful and it does feel like it’ll never happen again

TerriB84 · 24/11/2018 19:51

Sorry for all your losses. I had an early MC last month and very fortunately managed to conceive again straight away before getting AF. As happy as I am part of me can’t help but worry this pregnancy will go the same way. Good luck to you all. x

PetraRabbit · 24/11/2018 21:15

I'm sorry! Going from Facebook groups I'm in, it seems quite common to conceive again within 2-3 cycles of a MC. My MMC was back in March and my due date has come and gone, so it's been disappointing. But you are young and you got pregnant before, so don't worry. I'm 43 and I felt at the time that the MC was my last chance gone. I hope I will get another chance. I do have one

PetraRabbit · 24/11/2018 21:16

....sorry....I do have one child so I am very fortunate. I honestly think it will happen for you. Try not to feel to stressed or upset.

Thank you lovely ladies for your replies. It really helps to just speak about things on here. Wishing you all the best of luck on your journeys x

I miscarried at the beginning of January and had another miscarriage in August. I finally became pregnant with a successful pregnancy the following January.

Soph88 · 27/11/2018 08:57

MMC in Dec 16, conceived very quickly again and then another MMC in April 17. Conceived in July 17 and currently fending off a 7 month old while I type this.
We left it a bit longer after the second MMC and went on holiday and relaxed. I think that helped me mentally more than anything.

BertramKibbler · 27/11/2018 08:59

We also took a 3 month break after our second miscarriage. Conceived our twins on the second month trying

Wingingeverything · 27/11/2018 11:39

I got pregnant immediatly after my miscarriage and then sadly miscarried that one too. We then waited 3 months, tried again and got pregnant straight away. I am now sat here holding my 3 week old baby. Keep positive and dont give up.x

Ells0204 · 27/11/2018 12:21

I got pregnant on the first try which ended in a chemical. I then got pregnant on the next cycle which I miscarried at 6 weeks. I thought I was super fertile so expected to get pregnant again very soon but the months rolled by and 7 months later I’m still not pregnant. My due date is coming up in a few weeks, I was convinced I would be pregnant but sadly I won’t be and that’s been a hard pill to swallow!

Sorry if my story is a downer but reality is it doesn’t always happen for everyone. Praying for a 2019 BFP and hope you get yours soon too Flowers

Hi!
Found this thread and thought I would follow along. I miscarried baby #2 1 day shy of 12 weeks on September 14th. We were so looking forward to adding another little to our crew in March, but now its back to the waiting game and stocking up on pregnancy tests! :o I finally got my period back the end of October so I am at the end of my TWW with no signs of AF. BUT I am too scared to test, and also think my body may not even be back in action yet?! I am hoping to get that BFP again soon though!

I will say having a 2 year old did help me with processing my miscarriage. He is rambunctious and kept me very busy. I hope everyone gets that BFP soon and we have some 2019 babies on the way :)
