Pregnancy after Miscarrage

Hello, I had a miscarriage last week. Bleeding stopped yesterday. I'm just looking for some hope to be honest it took a year to conceive again and to have lost it has absolutely crushed me.
We will be tracking and trying again this month. Has anyone got any positive stories of falling pregnant soon after miscarriage ? Feel so defeated and upset ☹️

Hi,
Sorry about your miscarriage x

It took me a very long time to conceive too and it very much varied when I conceived again, anything from straight away to up to 2 years.

People were adamant that “you are more fertile after a miscarriage “ not sure about the science behind this often wheeled out statement, I suspect it’s a comfort statement.

Everyone is different though.
Just keep going and doing what you are doing, that’s all I can advise.
All the best.

meant to add, keep going because you do get there, I have 2 kids now and lots will come on here to say that they have lovely babies after loss xxxx

It took me 5 months to conceive again after a miscarriage, and I was beside myself. I had acupuncture, and got pregnant the next month. I think it helped me, however what also helped was someone knowledgable to listen to me and the time to relax - I always felt lighter and more energetic after my sessions.

Several friends had miscarriages and all have their babies now

@missmooo I'm so sorry for your loss. I was where you are just a few weeks ago, as soon as my miscarriage was confirmed I was determined to get pregnant again as fast as possible (I know everyone feels differently about this, there's no right or wrong).
I have not yet had a period 5 weeks post mc but I did ovulate last week - confirmed with LH, BBT and EWCM. We dtd all around ovulation and now I'm obsessing over potential fainter-than-faint lines on tests at 8dpo.

Whether it works this cycle or not I will say that I was flooded with relief and hope when I was sure that I was ovulating. I think I would have felt similar even if period had come first. Just knowing my cycles were back and that we could ttc again made me less angry at my body. I hope this happens soon for you as well.

Sorry this isn't the pregnancy story you were looking for but hopefully it helps a little (and if I do get a bfp this cycle I'll update!)

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. it is hard! I had two. My son was born in 2014 and we started trying 2016 and in 2017 july I miscarried that pregnancy which was about 10 weeks long, then I got pregnant again and miscarried at around 8 weeks in 2018 March and then I got pregnant in 3 months as soon as we started trying ( i was asked to wait for at least 2 months to start trying and we waited 3 months), I wish you the best .

Just to update, I fell pregnant 3 cycles later and I am due my little baby girl in April ❤️

Sorry to hear this - please take care of yourself. I have had a number of miscarriages but both my successful pregnancy’s happened unintentionally straight after. I wouldn’t recommend it as with both we were unable to date the pregnancy so had to really estimate for both 12 week scans they measured small causing loads of panic as I had to wait for 2 weeks before a rescan when both were measuring 12 weeks so the due dates were adjusted. Good luck x x

So sorry for your loss OP. It's such a horrible thing to happen. Sending you a hand hold.

I had a MMC in January 2021 and conceived DS in March 2021 on 2nd cycle post MMC. I'm currently TTC DC2 and just had 2 MCs in 6 months (I'm 39 so think age is playing a part now). So I conceived most recently on 2nd cycle again after my last loss. So pretty quick both times.

Each time it's happened I have desperately searched for positive stories after loss and totally get where your head is at with wanting the same. Ultimately, most women will go on to have a successful pregnancy at some stage, although sadly not for some. Even though I've now had 3 MCs, I still have hope that I will get my rainbow as so many people do go on to have successful pregnancies after loss and that's what the scientific evidence says too. There's lots of info about this on Tommy's and Miscarriage Association. Doesn't mean I'm not full of fear and dread about TTC again but I do have hope as well.
