Reassurance after miscarriage

[Ashleigh85]

Hi, I’m new to this group and guess I’m just looking for some support and reassurance. My husband and I have been TTC for over a year. We had been referred for fertility tests but the week before our appointment at the hospital, I found out I was pregnant. We were so excited, but it sadly ended in miscarriage at around 6 weeks. This was just a few weeks ago. I’ve made me peace with it. It feels so unfair, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. The hardest part is the thought of having to wait another year to conceive again! I haven’t been back to the doctor as technically, I now know that I am able to conceive, but that doesn’t mean I can carry a pregnancy. What if it takes another year and then I miscarry again? I guess I’m looking for some reassurance from people who have been through a similar thing and gone on to conceive again quickly and have a successful pregnancy. People say you’re more fertile after a miscarriage, so fingers crossed! Thanks 🙂

I know how you must be feeling I have had three early miscarriages one being the chemical pregnancy I started having this morning. We have been trying for 17 months now. My miscarriages were September 2017, January 2018 and today’s so it’s been over a year since my last one so we had just over a year of negatives every month too. They do say you’re more fertile after a miscarriage so keep an eye on ovulation tests to see when you’re next ovulating and sending you all the luck in the world xx

Please try not to give up hope. I had 2 miscarriages 10 years apart (and no children) and absolutely gave up trying for another 5 years because I was just broken from all the trying. I ended up going to GP to see about fertility issues and lo and behold got pregnant before the first hospital appointment at 34yo and now am looking forward to celebrating my baby's first birthday next month. I really really wish I'd tried again sooner after both miscarriages as now I'm nearly 36 so if I want any more children the risks are higher.

Miscarriage is frightening, nobody ever wants to speak about it and you can feel so isolated.

I really hope it works out for you, but what the GP did tell me is that often it's a problem with the embryo and if it's one or even two or three miscarriages it's sometimes down to just bad luck and the next time could be totally different. I know it really hurts to be where you are, but if you feel strongly enough keep trying and go back to the doctors if you don't manage to concieve, I'd go back in 6 months and see what they say.

That was such a long reply, I'm sorry!! Your post hair really struck a chord with me. Good luck and fingers crossed

has not hair!!!!
