Success stories after mmc

[Coco190]

Hi :)

I had a missed miscarriage at 12 week, baby was measuring 9 weeks.
AF returned this week after just over 5 long weeks of waiting for it.
my question is how long did it take people to conceive after a period after miscarriage? I have a DS who is nearly two and he was conceived whilst I was on the pill. And this pregnancy I just lost took me one cycle so hoping I get pregnant fairly quickly as I have in the past.
I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance as this has really affected me more than I thought.
And to top it all off my partners brother has just announced they are pregnant with twins so all very emotional this weekend.
Sorry for the rant and appreciate any stories after pregnancy after loss x

@Coco190 i had a missed miscarriage end of July, my first period returned start of September. I concieved again this cycle. I fell pregnant first cycle with the mmc so was so disheartened that I didn’t the first month trying again! It took 3 cycles which now I look back really isn’t that long, hopefully it’s quick for you again too☺️

My MMC was identified at 9 weeks. I had to have a D&C 10 days or so later. AF did not return; I was pregnant again, still grieving the loss, within 6 weeks. Our twins turn 18 in January. Sending you love and sympathy, and hope for the future xxx

Thank you so much for your replies! and so sorry for your losses. It’s an awful thing to experience and truly heartbreaking.
I'm not expecting to get pregnant straight away but would love for it to be sooner rather than later..x

Oh no I'm so sorry 💔 I had one years ago and it was just such an incredibly painful time. Especially around Christmas and with other pregnancy announcements. So sorry for your loss. In terms of positive stories, I had a mmc and got pregnant again about 4 months later. The pregnancy was hard, I was very emotional and anxious but I got through it and my daughter is now nearly 4 years old. I am at peace with it all now but it was just such a heartbreaking time so I really feel for you.

@Bluecheck679 glad to hear you got through it and got your daughter! I feel so blessed and grateful to be pregnant again but also anxious at the same time!

@Coco190 I think I really needed the reassurance that I’d get pregnant again so I was always looking for success stories too xx

Aw @ChloeN id missed your post while I was typing! Congratulations ❤️ It's definitely a lot harder being pregnant after loss, but it makes any symptoms you get more bearable I found. Hope the weeks fly in and you get a lovely reassuring scan soon.

We have male factor fertility issues so it seemed like the end of the world when we had a MMC in March/April at 9 weeks. Fortunately after seven cycle we are now pregnant again :) Fingers crossed this is our sticky rainbow!

@Bluecheck679 thank you!☺️ I’m just trying to get through these early weeks and pray everything will be okay!❤️

@Bluecheck679 thank you for your reply and sorry for your loss but congratulations on your daughter 🥰
I already have a 2 year old son so I know I can have children and carry to term and which is probably why I didn’t even think about miscarriage until it happened but I lost all symptoms by 8/9 weeks which makes sense tbh. I just want to give my son a sibling and don’t want a massive age gap but also trying not to put that pressure on myself.

@ChloeN yes success stories really comfort me and hopefully will have rainbow baby soon! 🤞

@TheBirdintheCave aww congratulations on your pregnancy!! And so sorry for your loss it’s so heartbreaking x

I had a mmc march 2021 at 10 wks, it was either 5 or 6 cycles later, august 2021 found out I was pregnant, DS now 8 months asleep on me ☺️

MMC in Jan and June this year. Conceived within 3 cycles. Am currently 5w, conceived within 4 cycles. Cross everything for me, I don't think I could deal with another MC.

I am sorry for your loss,
I had a Mmc at 12 weeks with surgical intervention and then got pg 1 week later (not a typo). Psychologically it was very hard but I was physically fine and DD is almost 18 now and completely awesome
Best of luck x

Mmc at 7w, DandC at 10 weeks. After the DandC my periods were so much lighter, I was concerned I wouldn't fall pregnant again. Conceived within 3 months after.
I know everyone feels differently about a miscarriage but I feel so thankful that my body did the right thing and I now have a perfect second son.
Best of luck to you.

I had a mmc in September 2020, I conceived again in February 2021

Thank you for all your messages.. they are very comforting to me.

so sorry for all your losses too but congratulations on your babies/pregnancies 🥰🥰 xx

Sorry to hear about your MM. It took me almost 2 years from the first miscarriage to my ectopic to the baby I got today. However, I wasn't actively trying but did have difficulties because of irregular periods.

So sorry for your loss, a mmc is just so so cruel. I had one in August, which had to be surgically managed (MVU). I fell pregnant again immediately after, didn't even have a period. This pregnancy had quite a bumpy start as I've had lots of bleeding but I'm now 12 weeks along. Still have quite a bit of anxiety around it all but trying to stay positive.
Good luck to you! It's such a difficult thing to go through x

Sorry for your loss OP.

My first pregnancy was a mmc in April 2019. I then conceived again in December 2019 with my now 2 year old who is next to me. I'm now pregnant again at 36+4.

@Chanel05 sorry to jump in and ask but did you have early scans for your next 2 pregnancies after mmc? I’m so torn on what to do this time around xx

@ChloeN I did, yes. However, I treated the scans as a snapshot in time that was relevant for that moment and no day going forward. In my first pregnancy, I'd seen a heartbeat and then it'd stopped by the second scan so I knew that it could all change in an instant.

Two years, but I have additional fertility problems

@Chanel05 yes that’s my fear with early scans although would be amazing to see a heartbeat as never did the first time! I’m just praying this time will be okay for me🤞🏻

@ChloeN I didn’t see a heartbeat on my first when I was supposed to be 9 weeks (mmc stopped at 6+ weeks, private scan at 9 weeks in April). So this time I went into a private scan at 9 weeks half expecting the same news, it was amazing for them to point out the heartbeat. Now I’m 17weeks, so further than we have managed before.

@Coco190 it took us three months to conceive again after the miscarriage/surgery. In hindsight that’s quick, it didn’t feel it at the time.

@Blue2020 oh that’s amazing, yes mine was similar found out at just over 8, stopped at 7, but I’m just so scared to go again😔😔 xxx

My 2nd pregnancy ended in MMC at 13 weeks in early March 2017 (on my birthday). I didn't have medical management so things took a while to settle down, but I was pregnant again by mid July that year. It was a quite horribly anxious pregnancy but she is now 4 1/2 years old and thriving.

I'm sorry for what you've been through and wish you the very best.
