DS or DD after MC ~ unscientific study

[katendmom]

Alright, ladies, I'm conducting an unscientific study. I just had a mmc... was talking to my best friend who was helping me to get through it emotionally... To make me feel better she said: "You know I had mmc, and now I have my beautiful DD." Then she gave me a couple more examples of other friends with the same experience... All of a sudden we realized - all of our friends who had mc - had DD with their next pg.

Now, of course I understand that both DD and DS are born after mc. But we decided to see what is the % of DD to DS .

So, if you don't mind - if you had a mc and were fortunate to have a baby after that - who did you have?

Thank you

ds dd ds ds mc ds mc

dd mc dd mc mc

mmc dd dd

I had DD after an MC.
One of my friends had an MC at about the same time, followed by a DD at about the same time as mine as well.

As promised at the begining of this post - updating with my own data. Found out that the baby that we lost in Sept (mc and then D&C) was a girl. So for us:

lost DD (stillborn)
have a wonderful DS
lost DD (mc)

I am seeing a genetics counselor on Monday and will explore with him/her the theory of not being able to carry a baby of a particular gender...

I would be interested in what you found out as I had 2 x DS, then 3 m/cs whilst following the advice for conceiving a girl , am now 33 weeks pg

i have dd,dd,ds,mmc wonder what will be next although am convinced mmc was a girl, had 2 dreams it was and just had a feeling, then dp brought me a huge bunch of pink flowers tied with a pink ribbon so i took it as a sign!

I had dd then 5 mc's, had ds1 then another mc, recently had ds2.

Sorry 4 mc's between dd and ds1, 5 in total.

I lost my first baby then went on to have my beautiful daughter. I know three people (including mum, in between having me and my sister) who have had girls after miscarriage. A friend is currently expecting a boy after losing her first. My sister has sadly lost two babies but is pregnant again and due in January - wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl?! I did read somewhere that male sperm are not as resilient as female but not sure how accurate that is.

ToadieG1, congratulations on our DC and you're so strong. How did you cope with 5 mcs...

Jossiejump I will certainly share what I learn from a gen. counselor. My not be a lot yet on Mon since we still need to take a blood test (my DH and I) but I will certainly explore this DD vs DS after MC theory with her.

ILTS hey there~ {Kate waves to her virtual twin}

To add to your sample: Ds1, Ds2, mc then dd

msc ds then dd

I had a mc early on. I then got pregnant again some 15 months later and we had a little girl.

Thank you all for contributing your experiences. A follow up question ~ those who conceived the first month after mc (and didn't get AF at all) ~ when did you test to get BFP?

Thank you!
